Why is it ok to discriminate against whites and not 'minorities'. Discrimination works both ways, or atleast it should. I love how you can only be racist if your white. It's not the whites fault the minorities didn't study as hard as they did. why are they being punished for actually working for something they want. If the minorities did better on the exam, they'd be congradulated and thrown a parade. They're just pissed now cause they're not getting handed a position based on a quota.

Thank GOD. They have been giving jobs to blacks because of their color for the last 50 years. I hope now they will realize they have to learn in school and can't just sit around and collect a check. Its not fair to the blacks who work hard for their money, raise there children to have morals and respect themselves and others.

My guess is that mercy is one of those hr/wage people, but loves to think he's not. Or he's sitting on his front stoop drinking a 40 and waiting for the first to roll around.

what f%%king ever!!!! I'm black so you BETTER GIVE me the job or i'll sue,and win lots of money so I won't have to work... lmfao not in this case, they need to stop this stupid s%%t and give these jobs to people who qualify for positons, thats why America is so f%%ked up, they're scared of law suits and just giving jobs to certain people that dont know nothing about the jobs and f%%k everything up because they really dont want to work!!!

As joyous as this ruling is for the firefighters, make no mistake about it, cities such as Cincinnati are already busy bending the hiring and promotion standards to weigh more heavily on "subjective" parts of the process. In this way, they maintain more control on who gets promoted and it will always come out racially mixed. Move away why you can!!!
