…so black applicants can pass it.
For reasons unknown, it never occurs to the clueless in charge of these things to change the people trying to pass the test instead of diluting the test for the people. I assume such tests measure cognitive ability and certain skill sets for the job.
Rather than shifting upward and expanding the pool of qualified black applicants (as affirmative action was originally conceived) with the requisite cognitive ability and skills, they’ll shift downward to make the test “passable” for black applicants, specifically. The first thing whites do when making these decisions is appeal to the lowest element. And this is offensive to no black person but me?
And apparently since a higher percentage of “minorities” have criminal records, they will also “put in place a process in which candidates’ past transgressions — if relatively minor – could be considered on a case-by-case basis.”
I’m not making this up. Instead hiring people with no criminal records and smart enough to pass a firefighters test, they’ll hire people with police records and not smart enough to pass the firefighters test. My indignation against this garbage is only one of many reasons black liberals “take issue” with me. Their attitudes are most idiotic and illogical.
I clearly see the sort of depraved thinking and low expectations certain whites have about blacks. No one should be taught to get by in life on the color of his skin, and when I call it out, the venom turns in my direction instead of toward the people who make rules perpetuating mediocrity and a hand-out mentality in the first place!
If hiring rap sheet-free intelligent people means they won’t hire a black applicant for another five years, so be it. Perhaps if mothers and fathers start teaching children that being dull, crime-prone, and whiny is no way to go through life, they would learn not to use their skin color to get what they didn’t earn and don’t deserve.
“We shall overcome. We shall overcome. We shall overcome some dayyyyyyyyyy…”
Makes me sick to my stomach.

Update: This is SO embarrassing! Eliminating a swimming test because black applicants can’t swim? How about eliminating applicants who can’t swim? Paternalism can be fatal!
It’s not me, right? It’s them. Tell me I’m not losing my mind…
