Political Correctness Costing Lives

This kind of shit really pisses me off.
Its happening in a city near mine, Portsmouth. Its about the Fire Department of that city, and the competency test they give, to see if you understand proper procedure when entering a burning building, so that you don't fuck up and cost one of your buddies their lives, or a civilian his or her life... Sounds like a pretty fucking important test, right? Well, the Portsmouth Fire Dept. is being sued because 48% of African Americans passed the test and 89% of whites passed the test. One of the black dudes who didn't pass it cried racism, and filed a lawsuit.
So...from the settlement.....they abolish the entire test, pay $150,000 into a settlement fund for the dude who sued, and have to hire 10 black fire fighters from the list of candidates that failed the test. They are removing the test all together, and the most fucked up part is, he said he has no interest in being a fire fighter anymore. He's already moved on to get another job, and scammed the city for 150 grand.
Now, that test existed for a reason. It was to make sure you knew what you were doing when there was a fire, so you don't cost someone else's life. And its not like if you fail it, its anyone else's fault but your own. I'm sure the fire department gives you all the information you need to know, like a police entrance exam. So now they have 10 unqualified black dudes who failed the test on the Portsmouth firefighting team, who don't know what the fuck they're doing as well as the 89% of white dudes who passed the test. How fucked up is that?
My best friends uncle was a police chief for years, and he used to talk about how much it pissed him off when promotions came around for the police. They would determine the ten people who deserved to be promoted the most, but they would have to drop the last two candidates, and skip a whole bunch of white people, to find some black people far down the list to promote to remain politically correct.
What the fuck is wrong with the world?

Also, I just read to see what the test is about. The National Firefighters Selection Test. It just tests basic reading skills and math skills. Nothing major. But its supposed to be a judgment of reading comprehension, listening comprehension, and basic math.
WTF? Why can't someone pass that?

Maybe the test was race bias? Lots of questions on country music and winter sports...

FYI: If you're ever in the states, DO NOT call a black person colored. They don't like it

People are way too sensitive about other people's feelings.
"Naturally, white people do not get offended by statements directed at white people. In fact, they don’t even have a problem making offensive statements about other white people (ask a white person about “flyover states”). As a rule, white people strongly prefer to get offended on behalf of other people."

recently a fire chief was dismissed in oregon because he didnt speak spanish and several of the fire fighters spoke no english, the criteria for being a fire chief was that he had to be able to communicate with all the fire fighters... so what happens when 6 firefighters that speak no english are responding to an accident with english speaking persons, the medics only speak english as well as the police
why isnt it a requirement that those fire fighters speak english

until the fatty caucasion lawmakers stop being afraid of the common ppl, they will always bend and break at the slightest notion of there being a problem with the way theyre runnin things.
until ppl realize we are one race. there will always be this rift

cuz theyre a minority and those in power are afraid that there will be rebellion if they dont bend the rules to fit each individuals needs. no matter how many it hurts, as long as one is happy
lil backwards eh?

its ok, thats the old way of thinking. its a new age
theres enough of us that feel this way. just waiting for the spark that catches
a friend of mine who was a part of a lot of the rebel movements in MX is a beautiful poet, he just dont know it
he always talks of lighting his match, and it gets blown out over and over and over, but one day it will start a fire

I was watching 'the view' the other day and they were talking about racism, and saying how it was offensive to say hozae (wrong spelling I know) the Mexican. Why the fuck is that offensive when he IS a Mexican? I would not be offended if someone called me a white trash bogan bush pig from a country founded by convicts rejected from England. It has no bearing on who I am or what I do.

that's just the opposite of the truth, they arent afraid of the common people, they're afraid of losing their seat so they bend everyone else over and let us all take it from the minority of the hour, that gains them support because it make it appear like they're doing something to benefit the people
until they're afraid of us all, none of us will know peace of mind
