The Obama Justice Department has accused the New York City fire department of being "racist" for giving a written examination to people who want to be firefighters. These are actual, real examples of some of the "racist" questions on the test.

A) Firefighter Reilly, who is waving her hands back and forth. B) Firefighter Chang, who is jumping up and down. C) Firefighter Ali, who is yelling as loud as she can. D) Firefighter Diaz, who is waving his flashlight in a back and forth motion.

No wonder the blacks are crying racism. The racists that wrote this test gave the right answer to the white Hispanic.

This is largely a reading comprehension test.

Looks like the FDNY is not only racist, but idiotic too.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Sorta reminds me of the Army leadership inventory test.

I would rather:

A. Lead men into combat
B. Arrange flowers

No one could ever psyche that one out.

The questions are obviously racist. They cause white people to laugh so hard they cannot concentrate.

[Moltke]

Note how they feel the need to explain what “ventilate” means in question 10 and “salvage” in question 6!

That’s as sad as the questions themselves.

Obviously, the tests should not be multiple choice. There should only be ONE ‘choice’, which would be the correct amswer. Having the applicants make decisions, as to the right answer, is clearly raycis.......

Well, they are all difficult if you can't read or write.

When Obama says that it is racist to give a written exam, what he is implying is: blacks are stupid, ignorant and or illiterate.

The real purpose of the sample questions above: an applicant who gets any wrong has demonstrated that he can't even read at a second grade level and was just marking answers at random.

The Fire Dept DOES get applicants who cannot even read at the second grade level, thanks to the NYC public school system.

The test is obviously racist.

I used to volunteer in my local high school to tutor and help kids with homework. Every single one of “Obama’s sons” could not even read or write at an elementary school level. If you asked them to read a paragraph and answer multiple choice questions that were already answered, they barely did better than guessing. And these were the kids that cared enough to go to tutoring. In 4 years, I only met one black kid that could perform at a real high school level and he wasn't an American. He ended up getting full scholarship to Brown.

Writing and reading are clearly racist tools of the white man against African Americans.
