White Firefighters Win Supreme Court Appeal

Full story: www.thesaudavoice.com

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that white firefighters in New Haven, Conn., were unfairly denied promotions because of their race, reversing a decision that high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor endorsed as an appeals court judge. The ruling could alter employment practices nationwide and make it harder to prove discrimination when there is no evidence it was intentional. New Haven was wrong to scrap a promotion exam because no African-Americans and only two Hispanic firefighters were likely to be made lieutenants or captains based on the results, the court said Monday in a 5-4 decision. The city said that it had acted to avoid a lawsuit from minorities.

This was rightious! The truth prevails and shows us all that affirmative action was a joke and embarrassment to the world. People who feel as if they are entitled to positions when they have zero skills. Thank god this happened. How would you like a fireman who didnt know zip trying to save your @zz go the job because of his race. No thank you

Even though the decision was 5-4, all 9 justices outright shot down Sotomayor's earlier decision that if no blacks passed a test is automatically racist. She's such an evil witch but now she probably has an even stronger conviction for the superiority of a "female latina" perspective.

YAY!! White people do have rights!! I guess it is important to hire the most qualified person, not just hire a dumb black so Sharpton doesn't biotch.

Yes, but the Govt. counts Hispanics as Caucasian. Look up the word and you will be surprised. The term White should never be used since they are actually Caucasian

Apparently affirmative action is not a problem because you white devils are using it against "minorities."

The only thing you white devils have ever used to get what you want is hate, violence, and deception.

Everyone else works hard while you white devils get a free pass because you think you are some type of demi-gods.

The real DEVILS are the ones who tried to get the test scores thrown out because they were too stupid to pass the dang thing. What a bunch of losers. Now I know how they got hired in the first place. Would you rather have a doctor doing heart surgery on you who is lack and got the position just because he was Black, or another person who worked hard and had to score an extra 40% higher on tests just to out score those who get the free ride with affirmative action?

At teh Fire Dept. Blacks only need to score 65% to get hired. Hispanics and Whites must score 90%. Now who is the smarter? Get over it Black Devil

You fckin' trolls. Posters are trying to blame blacks for the city New Havens irresponsible act. If you idiots would've read the article you could see it had nothing to do with blacks, but the cowardice of New Haven. Why would you throw out a exam for the possibility of a lawsuit? No one was actually filling a lawsuit it was all very presumptuous on the cities behalf.

Any links could be forged. I suggest you ask them yourself as I have. They will never post affirmative action scores in public. If they did it would have been dead even sooner. Ask the White firefighter why his scores must be in the upper 90 percentile. Im sure he will oblige

What makes you think this particular firefighter was not exaggerating?
