Exactly! It's similar to the latest guidance from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The EEOC’s guidance came from an informal discussion letter posted on its website. In the letter, the EEOC considered whether the requirement for a high school diploma could unlawfully “screen out” individuals who have learning disabilities that prevent them from passing certain tests necessary to obtain a diploma.

When the police officer hands you a ticket, tell him it's because you're black. It had absolutely nothing to do with you running the red light moments before.

As hard as it may be for American blacks to admit this, they only achieve their highest potential in orderly, civilized societies where they are not permitted to have any power or control whatsoever. In other words, strong white societies. They have shown that their "talented tenth," as W.E.B. DuBois called them, can only thrive in conditions and environments that they could never create or maintain themselves.

How can an exam be race neutral? The exam is a tool used to evaluate intelligence. I don't understand how it can be geared towards a race and I haven't been able to find any info on race neutral exams on google. Sounds like bullshit to me.

a brilliant man once said he wants to live in a world where his children are not judged by the color of there skin but by the content of their character... it's funny that his most "devout" followers are awful fond of judging people not by the content of their character but by the color of their skin... anyone else find this beyond ridiculous??

Get a job under affirmative action. Then sit around all day pretending that you earned the position and that the other co-workers respect you. Whenever you fk up, scream racism!

@rdsweet i generalize because it's true. doesn't mean it all leans to one side or the other. but for the most part it does.

@rdsweet Injustice everywhere must be opposed. This was a case of documented injustice for the sake of political correctness. They followed the rules, they committed no sin, and still they were refused what was right. I think if you research it farther you will find that the courts sided with the firemen.
