There will be plenty of people who took the test, passed it and were not hired who will show up for their share of the loot.

First thing that will happen is someone will notice that most of them seem to be white folks ~ this is, after all, Chicago.

Although I'm not terribly picky I prefer Jewish, Japanese, Chinese or Persian physicians ~ particularly those whose families were "trapped in America" back when the Ayatollahs took over ~ definitely top end people.

I wonder what lawsuits will be rendered about the lack of remedial training to bring substandard firefighters up to snuff after some get killed, or caus ethe deaths of their fellow firefighters, for incompetence. Another catch-22 like when the city makes you shovel your walks, then lets people sue you if they slip on them because you modified God’s work...

More reparations. That’s all this is.

Pay off the black folks.

They don’t have a case,but they get a pay off.

Of course, the dirty underbelly of this ruling... all those firefighters who WERE hired at that time - scored better on the test... but now that isn’t “fair”, so now the city has to hire those who didn’t score as high... AND get 15 years of “credit” in the TAXPAYER-FUNDED pension plan...

Ain’t it nice when judges carry out their political bias (can we say a form of reparations?) using their rather powerful position?

Years ago, a woman told me.....

“I don’t want any black doctors, and I don’t want any black attorneys.”

By the way, she too, is black.

Well it’ll be interesting to see how this 7th Circuit decision hols up vs the SCOTUS decision in the New Haven (CT) firemen’s case.

Is this redistribution or reparations?

“Can some of those be white guys covered with soot?

Sorry for the off-color humor...”

Why?? The time for political correctness is over. If they are not qualified dump em’!
