  Anybody see this article. Apparently hiring the most skilled workforce, regardless of color, will get you fired in the World we live in now.

THere are plenty of cases where fire houses hire women and minorities that are well down on the list on the written test and the fitness test just to fill quotas.

  Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside...

  that is because you are literally on fire waiting for the less qualified to save you...

  This has been going on for decades with fire departments. My dad tried out about 20 years ago. Finished 2nd on both written and physical tests. They were taking 2, so he should be in right? Nope, they were only allowed to hire 1 white male, other hire HAD to be a minority to fill their AA quotas.
  
  He he vowed to never go back and hasn't.

  Cue the "white males are the most discriminated group" garbage.

  I see a lot of double standards when it comes to white men and any other group. Whether it be minorities or woman.
  
  On the other hand I am happy to have Obama as president ,and I hope Hillary gets the next job as our next president.
  
  The majority all white boys club of the senate and the house of representatives have done little good for race relations and women's equality up until a few decades ago. Jim Crow laws still exists. They are more underground. At the same time liberal whack jobs have perverted this country with all the homosexual agenda that many people don't believe in. We are divided by extremes. Why can't we take people for what they are as a person no matter what they look like or what gender they are? Many people have differing views on ethics and morality. When it comes to jobs and insurance purposes all people should be given a fair shake and not discriminated against whether they be black, hispanic,gay or transgender ,and that also includes evil whitey.

  I see you have Andrew Jackson on a 20$ dollar bill under your name, representing you.
  
  Andrew Jackson should have never been put on a twenty dollar bill . He was one of Americas biggest criminal presidents. He was a slave trader and he is responsible for the murder of thousands of Indians after evicting them of there land and sending all those tribes on the trail of tears death march , while allowing little provisions. He did that for the sole purpose to let the southern plantations gain much needed land for cotton growing,hence adding many more slaves to the southern states.
  
  
  I happen to disagree with all the political correctness when it comes to hiring firefighters and any other civil servants. It is a double standard . We need equal standards for all people of this nation once and for all. We have to make the practice for hiring the best qualified people for safety jobs. We can't make up for our short falls in the public educational systems by lowering our standards for public safety.

  No, it is Asians (check that, Eastern Asians). People that work hard, start businesses, employ people, believe in the American dream, have strong family values and don't commit crimes, yet because they aren't politically viable aren't considered minorities.

  Asians reliably vote Democrat just as much as other minority groups. It is Conservatives who don't bring up Asians in their diatribes because it destroys the narrative that minorities vote Democrat because they want to suck on teh gubmint tit. That is how the GOP gets voters...telling middle class whites that the Democrats take their money and give it to "Those People". The tactic does not work with the Asian community which is wealthier on the whole compared to whites.

  Right on !

  Asians vote Democrat, even though they are the most discriminated group that has no political backing and a political party that absolutely forgets them?
  
  Perhaps on the coasts where they have no choice, but what has the Democrat party done for Asians other than exclude them?

  Spike Lee does not like whites moving into his old neighborhood. Gentrification is what it is called . It was different when the black population from the south moved into those neighborhoods after the world wars and then destroyed them . When the police tried to quell the crime ridden neighborhoods they were only questioned about being overzealous. Now that hipsters and artists are taking over Harlem and south Brooklyn the schools are better and the police protection is better . Now the same people who bitched about cops being too hard are asking why the police are now more in view and are quicker to the quell problems.
  You can't win in a black and white argument . Whites are always the evil devil to many people no matter what. This reverse discrimination is not new. Welcome to the Twilite zone.
