Black firefighters take the race card to a whole new level

Court says black firefighter lawsuit can proceed

In Monday's opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote for the court that the applicants' lawsuit over a city of Chicago test used to weed out potential firefighter trainee applicants was not too late.

Anyone who scored 64 or below was deemed not qualified. But the city set a second cutoff score of 89 points.

Officials told applicants who scored below 89 but above 64 that although they passed the test, they likely would not be hired because of the large number of people who scored 89 or above. The majority of those in the top-scoring group were white; only 11 percent were black.

Oh cry me a freakin river! So here we have a case of blacks not being smart enough to pass the test as frequently as whites so what do they do? Accuse racial bias. Unbelievable. I have an idea to combat this problem. Instead of blaming someone else for their academic shortfalls, maybe the inner city youths should turn away from drug dealing, sexual promiscuity, violence, and other miscellaneous gang activity and instead focus on graduating high school and bettering themselves. Then, perhaps they will be able to pass such a test. Just look at these graduation rates:

 I'm sick and tired of everybody expecting to get handed everything to them on a silver platter. It's not about race! It's about smarts. You obviously don't have it. Now go change your diaper and study up if you think you deserve the promotion. And quit blaming everyone for racism. Good lord.
