FULL DETAILS AND TEST RESULTS:
http://adversity.net/newhavenfd/default.htm#06-attorney
During her confirmation hearing before the U.S. Senate, probably this summer, Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor will be questioned about her role in Ricci v. DeStefano, the potentially groundbreaking, reverse discrimination case brought by city firefighters denied promotion in New Haven.
Sotomayor displeased conservatives when she and the two other judges on a three-judge panel of the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against the firefighters — 19 whites and a Hispanic — in February 2008.
This is not an isolated incident.

As a hispanic,I …
As a hispanic,I hate Sotomayor with a passion!
What a bitter woman she is!
Goes to show Quota …
Goes to show Quota is the only way blacks can get a job.
FireFighting is not the same as clerk at McDonalds. That’s the mentality trying to pass off as intelligent. Stats from Ocean to Ocean proven Quota is a total FAILURE. That’s like Giving JESSE JACKSON the PRESIDENCY. Cause he’s to stupid
SOTOMAYZOR, She is …
SOTOMAYZOR, She is RACITST, quota, affirmative action.
She’s hates white men. The first words from her mouth was she can do better than a white man. HEY that’s HATE…
She has 100’s of laws memorized, she’ knows everything she says.
I’m gonna stop …
I’m gonna stop looking at stuff like this. It just makes me angry.
I hope affirmative …
I hope affirmative action does end. I am glad the S.C. ruled the way they did on this case. Nothing against those who are considered minorities but it takes away the sense of competition and hiring the best applicant and having to hire someone strictly because of color or race.
THE FACT:
…
THE FACT:
Affirmative action in the US began as a tool to address the persisting inequalities for African Americans in the 1960s. This specific term was first used to describe US government policy in 1961. Directed to all government contracting agencies, President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10925 mandated “affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin.”
wait… just …
wait… just because minorities did not score high enough on the test… the whole test result will be thrown away? That is ridiculous… they shouldn’t be responsible for thier failure
I think its funny …
I think its funny how over 90% of african-americans voted for Obama during the election and there was nothing said about it. What would have been said if 90% of the white population voted for McCain? Everyone would have been talking about how racist caucasians are. I can understand somewhat because this is the first black president, but still. From this perspective, its seems like the african-americans are the more racist part of the population.
lol….Affirmative …
lol….Affirmative action was created for originally for the white woman first……check your history before you get your panties in a bunch…but I am happy to see non white group and theoritically white woman are give you a run for your money. hahaha…thats alot of anger in your sentences…anyone can see..u wont put that clothe over my eyes. just work hard for what you do.
i am a conservative …
i am a conservative and a republican. i dont honestly think any viciousness was intended (although the possibility of my being wrong is ever present). I do think that when the decision to prevent the white firefighters from getting the job simply because they were born white it really leaves alot to be questioned: what kind of person makes a decision based on avoiding a lawsuit instead of finding the most qualified candidate for a job?
The supreme court …
The supreme court overruled it… her ruling was obviously not soundly based, at least to the standard of the court she is trying to arrive at.
Another racist …
Another racist person that works for the United States Government!!
Face it whites are hated in the USA and no longer have any rights!
i dont support …
i dont support sotomayor , shes a racist
This is one big …
This is one big reason never to vote Democrat. First the scum at the city that said the people who passed couldn’t be promoted because they were only white and hispanic, and secondly the judges they appoint like Sotomayor and the SC liberals who all 4 of voted against overturning this. If one race doesn’t pass a test, that is not a basis at all for throwing out the people’s results who did. That is racism. Other blacks in US could have passed, these didn’t, too bad. Keep the results.
she a rasict
she a rasict
Do you realize that …
Do you realize that Sotomayor’s decision was racially discriminatory and judged WRONG by the US Supreme Court ?
FROM WCBS-TV New York 6-29-09:
“The city said it acted to avoid a lawsuit from minorities, but Justice Anthony Kennedy said in his majority opinion that New Haven’s action amounted to discrimination based on race against the white firefighters who were likely to be promoted.
“No individual should face workplace discrimination based on race,” Kennedy said.
Do you guys …
Do you guys understand that all she did was uphold the laws of the city, and that she did not make said laws?
It’s a shame to see …
It’s a shame to see that affirmative action has plagued America to the extent that meritocracy is completely destroyed. Shame on Sotomayor and her decision.
I don’t think it …
I don’t think it started just on race alone, but because of her “wise latina woman” remark. Quite frankly, I don’t care about race, I just want someone uncorrupted, and who does the job the way it’s supposed to be done.
it pains me to …
it pains me to agree only b/c it seems everyone else who does, likes to boot their comments with ignorant .
I think this judge is questionable at best, i think her decision was wrong and biased, and i think reverse discrimination does exist
but then you have idiots who can’t help but continue the bullshit, and attack the political parties, say racist , or just turn around and start accusing minorities of everything white people were accused of..wish real conversations could be had.
more false hatred …
more false hatred of whites. it’s funny how they always claim whites are racist right off but much racism is encouraged by various non-white groups. it’s clear they can’t compete with us on a fair playing field.
Welcome to …
Welcome to Obamaworld: Tax evaders appointed to run that department; federally funded healthcare (because Medicaid/Medical) hasn’t given away enough tax dollars; pay “czars” (czars, mind you); and tax increase proposals for those who make less than $250K - in direct opposition to that person’s promise. Now, we get a racist, liberal judge for her entire stinking lifetime.
But, Kudo’s to those on the Supreme Court who overturned this woman’s horrible decision!
Who gives a …
Who gives a about race if they can do the job! This whole affirmative action policy has been more trouble than what it is worth.
I agree
I agree
Isn’t it great? The …
Isn’t it great? The Supreme Court agreed with Rush that Sotomayor is a reverse racist! Stuff that in your pipes & smoke it libtards & racist minorities!
A great day for America. The first one since BO took office!
