The city gave a test back in 1995 that did not measure the abillity to be a firefighter. It made it more than six times more likely that white applicants would be hired rather than African-Americans with no job-related justification.

So they gave an intelligence test.

Is there any important job where being intelligent isn’t an advantage?

“The city gave a test back in 1995 that did not measure the abillity to be a firefighter.

Nothing about getting a high score on that test predicted anything about whether you’d be a superior firefighter.”

Had an appropriate test been given, it probably would have resulted in the same outcome..........

With that being said, there's no mention of what the payout to the attorneys was............
