They thought they …
They thought they could just cheat white firefighters and it would be such a small percentage of the total firefighter population that no one would notice, well they were wrong!

Is this the example …
Is this the example where Sotomayor claimed a Hispanic woman would come to a better conclusion than an old white guy? What an embarrassment she is to the Hispanic community.

Basically being …
Basically being stupid isn’t an excuse to pull the race card when a person is upset that he or she didn’t get that promotion when they clearly lack the skill or capacity to hold that position. Seniority doesn’t instantly grant a thing: promotions are earned and some jobs require a defined set of requirements. If I recall, those at the fire dept are public servants. They want a pension, guaranteed income, and promotions yet some don’t do a thing to earn it.

When Race is no …
When Race is no longer an issue America will be better off. Affirmative action is no longer necessary no matter who you are. Who cares what color/gender you are if you are the best at a particular job. I’m hiring THE BEST and the THE BRIGHTEST!!!

I jumped for joy …
I jumped for joy upon hearing of michael jackon’s death. I would love to watch him writhe in pain. I’m reliving his moment of spectacular death. He tossed and turned on his death bed. Maggots crawled out of his eye sockets and nostrils. Then his body went stiff. He gasped for air, choking on his semen. “Beat it, beat it,” he muttered, then his body went limp and he was no more. I wish I were there to capture this kodak moment on camera.

Good! This was a ridiculous case. The city didn’t promote anyone because they wanted to avoid lawsuits from the blacks. Pathetic. Let’s just hope Sotomayor can keep race out of her decisions if she is appointed to the Supreme Court.

I think its stupid …
I think its stupid that whites are bound by the idea that every decision made where a white person is given more than a black person is racial. Its unfortunate that racism exists yet it hurts whites just as much because of situations like this.
