To John Danforth: Sounds like you watched Ellsworth Toohey in the Fountainhead (e.g. elevate mediocrity and denounce greatness).

The GOP takes the white male vote – but it is everyone else that they get tanked on so this is not going to be a winner for them. Sadly, I looked at some of the firefighter’s exams. Some of the reading portions were not even correct grammatically – such is the pathetic state of this country. I think I could have passed the test in 4th grade so one wonders about our firemen. Of course, if Americans want randomly chosen illiterates to lead firefighters, that is NOT discrimination. If ignorant illiterates make good firefighters, Obama and the Affirmative Action folk have a valid point. Well, those jobs pay $ 75,000 + pensions to people age 50 so they are highly competitive. The big joke is that if some city or parts of the city burns down, it is likely minorities who will be the most adversely impacted. Hmmm, come to think of it, I work in a city (DC) with an overpriced “bad” school system and other junky “services” that voted 93% for Obama – well, the inhabitants get what they ask for. Mr. Ricci should take a job for lower pay saving the lives of white suburbanites.

Is it really racism, or is it fear and loathing of competence and intelligence?
To the mini-tyrant, evidence of injustice is a badge to be worn as a status symbol, demonstrating his power over the laws of nature and of man. Reason and logic serve only to concoct paradoxical explanations for policies to mislead the gullible, who will gladly defend injustice based on any palpable absurdity. The end result is a big food fight over who gets to serve the tyrant in a favored position. I’m sure he enjoys watching it all.

Mr. Ricci is learning a lesson about being in the employ of Leviathan; do not expect justice, any more than if you get caught up in its criminal system. He will be better off putting his skills to work in a small town far from any big city or finding another line of work entirely.

They all talk of “fairness”, but is it really fair to let a family burn to death in the name of “racial equality”?

And secondly, what would happen in a math exam if you consistently equated things which are not equal? Yep, you fail.

There ain’t no “reverse discrimination.”

Discrimination is discrimination.

Pure and simple.

There was de facto and de jure racial discrimination in this country for generations.

But in all instances it was tolerated by the State or enforced by the State.

It was wrong then.

It is wrong now.
