  • lol... black firefighters chicago lawsuit



    Read the article but focus on the last bit. Anyone else find this absurd?

    Saw the same thing many years ago when I was working for Bethlehem Steel....dealt with little/no minorities in the Millwright classification for the same reason, ie low test scores.
    Second round was for women not being offered jobs in both the Mills and Bethlehem Mines.

      Essentially what they are saying is picking the top 11% is unfair to minorities, because they are dumber than whites.

        Yep... What they did at Bethlehem, was institute a program where a certain ratio had to be followed for moving up into that classification. They halted whites for a while, and the highest scoring black male, white female, black female, spanish surname and Asian were promoted. After they reached the "correct" ratio, they then took the top scorer from each segment to fill the slots.
        If I remember correctly, there was a BIG stink when they started talking ratios in the Detroit Police Dept as there were way more blacks than whites.

                They're going to ask applicants from 16 years ago if they still want to join up? Color me impressed if they get 750 applicants.

                And yes, stupid to hire on color rather than aptitude.

                  That right there alone is racist just to hire them because of their race. What about all the white people and hispanics that fell below the 11% mark? Do they get jobs also?
