Where talent and skill fails, play the race card.

Just fire all the white firefighters and hire minority firefighters only. There, problem solved. Heck if I were in a burning house and needed to be carried out I'd much rather have a black firefighter rescue me and carry me out because everyone knows that Blacks tend to outperform whites when it comes to PHYSICAL activity and when it comes down to me being carried out I'd much rather have a physically capable black man who may have scored a couple points lower than his white counterpart who was a genius on paper but was a wimp physically, carry me out. I don't give a damn what you scored on paper if you're not physically able to carry me out of a burning building quick, fast and in a hurry,LOL. If there's a fire and I'm in the building send me a black firefighter to rescue me.

What if the Black guys are still asleep back at the firehouse when the Whites in the fire trucks show up on the scene? You know that Blacks sleep better than anyone else, don't you?

This year, the city paid a $275,000 settlement to five white lieutenants who said they were denied promotions by exams skewed to favor minority candidates.

This summer, three white candidates for the fire academy sued, arguing that they had been denied entrance in favor of less-qualified minority candidates.

Guess they will Learn,....

If size were the only qualification then yeah there'd probably be a lot more qualified blacks. American blacks were bred for size and strength from the time they were sold from the african shore by their chiefs, up through the end of slavery. You could do that with Swedish people if you wanted to, but I think they wouldn't let it happen--too smart.

But, alas, brains are needed, and when God said brains, blacks thought he said trains, and told Him they didn't want one. Sad, but true.

Blacks are obviously smarter than whites because look how we manipulated the Northern whites to kill their Southern white brothers to kill each other in a civil war all to free black slaves. Then we stood up and demanded civil rights and even got some of you whites to demand them for us as well. Today we virtually have out feet on the necks of whites and are practically daring you to breath. We have your dumb asses shaking in your boots for fear of the fact that if you even look at us crosswise we'll yell racism and when we do that you whites practically trip all over yourselves to give us millions or whatever we want everytime we yell racism. Now what was it you said about SMARTS? No you didn't,LOL.

FUNNY, THE ATLANTA NEGROES HAD NOTHING TO SAY WHEN IT OCCURRED!

Whites cheat as well. They cheat more than anyone else does. They're just luckier when it comes to getting away with it.

Daily Horoscope for December 14

Pisces

Someone is in a no nonsense mood. This makes them rather formidable company because they aren't mucking about and they don't want to waste their time. Instead, they're very single-minded about getting what they want and they won't care who gets trampled on in the process. Be careful if this person sees you as a stepping stone towards getting what they want because they could be quite ruthless in the way they treat you.
