High court backs firefighters in ‘reverse discrimination’ suit
Judge Sonia Sotomayor High court nominee, had judged this case previously, and found for the City of New Haven, Connecticut, saying that because no African American’s passed the test that it should be thrown out. This shows to me that she has a discriminatory mind, and should not be on the Highest Court in this land. This was a Promotional Test, and because on People of color passed it, they were then throwing the test out, and not promoting the Firemen that Passed the test. The City was afraid that the black firefighters that did not pass the test, would sue the City.
Whenever I have taken a test, if you don’t pass the test, you don’t get the job… My suggestion to any one who is going for promotion, is to Study, Study, Study. If at first you don’t succeed, then try again.
Affirmative Action has been in effect for many years, and it has made people of color lazy and given them the upper had over people that actually have experience, and have higher scores on tests.
It is about time we run this country on Merit, and not on the color of ones skin, or their nationality.
I applaud the Supreme Court that reversed this Discrimination against these 19 White men and one Latino. I don’t care how many Firemen are promoted or if they are Black, White, or Purple, as long as they do it fairly. If it is dependant on a test for Promotion, then if you can’t pass the test, then you don’t get promoted. That should be the bottom line.
The Enablers of this country have made it easy for minorities not to study, and to take the line of the least resistance. In the past they have been promoted even if they couldn’t pass the tests. They have been made to feel that they are too dumb to pass these tests, so they would be put in the head of the line anyway.
If I were a person of color, I would be down right PISSED OFF about people like Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton, and Jeremiah Wright, who keep them down instead of doing something to let them know that they can learn, and can be successful without Affirmative Action Groups just giving them a place at the front of the line.
I hope that this goes against Sonia Sotomayor’s Confirmation to the Highest Court in this land. I believe she is a racist, and she would judge from her experience and not the law and the Constitution.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. So it goes for the Supreme Court. Now we just have to see how fast Obama swoops in and declares the Supreme Court “infested” with right-wing extremist terrorists and replaces everyone with Sotomayer clones.
Yes, Citizen, I am waiting to see if these Firefighters are promoted or for the other shoe to drop. Thanks for your comments and your visit to my blog.
This decision really shocked me. I am so accustomed to blacks crying foul and getting their way, I just assumed these guys would be smacked down, and be made examples of. It is refreshing to see common sense prevail every one in a while. Rare as it is, miracles still happen.
RC, I was shocked too, but the Black Firemen were promoted in that six years without passing the test. None of these guys were promoted and the test was never given again. It is about time some Justice was done by our courts.
BTW, good to see you here. Thank you for dropping in and commenting.
Happy Fourth of July!
