Action in the Affirmative

Baltimore

Puggg was right.

WaPo follow-up on the Baltimore Jail scandal:

As many as 80 percent of correctional-officer applicants in the central region, which includes Baltimore, do not make it through the background investigation, said Binetti, the corrections spokesman.   Among those who do, women seem to dominate. More than 60 percent of the corrections officers in Baltimore’s jails are women, Maryland officials estimate.

Puggg told me on the phone when we talked about this story something that sounds a whole lot like this:

Since it’s the men’s jail, they want to hire men as jail guards.  But it being a jail in heavily black Baltimore, they want to hire blacks (i.e. not hire whites) more than they want to hire men.  And since so many black men have rap sheets, and are not eligible being employed by the right side of the law, they have to settle for black women.  And the kind of black women in Baltimore who would want to work as guards in men’s jails are easily susceptible to this gang’s bamboozling.

Q.E.D.  aka S.T.F. (Spiking The Football)

However, since when does a rap sheet preclude you from working in law enforcement or similar professions?  So many jurisdictions are so desperate for “diversity” that they’re willing to overlook juvenile felony convictions, and Mark Funkhouser, the one-mayor-ago mayor of Kansas City crossed the rhetorical Rubicon by suggesting that people with adult felony convictions should be allowed to be KCPD cops, and said specifically that black was the reason.

Work Hard, Play By the Rules

Chicago

On second thought…

“Non-violent felonies only.”  Bull fucking shit.  Considering where this is posted and for whom it is intended, most people with only “non-violent felonies” on their list of official criminal convictions really have committed a violent felony in the past.  The most frequent explanation for that is because prosecutors like to do plea bargains where they throw out charges for violent felonies in exchange for a guilty plea from the defendant on a non-violent felony charge and a prison sentence at or near the legal maximum for that particular crime.  The reason is that violent felonies have human victims that are either too scared to testify in court in fear of retribution from the defendant’s “homies,” or they don’t want to testify because of the “stop snitching” ghetto culture.

With this in mind, now you know why so many black men get seemingly long prison sentences for seemingly non-violent crimes.  This also blows a hole through the paranoia that some libertarian types spread that people are given 20 year bids for having a little bit of weed.

SCOTUS Takes Affirmative Action

Washington, D.C. and Michigan

Will hear an appeal on Appeals-6 overturning MCRI, and will hear it sans Kagan, who had to recuse herself because she argued against MCRI while she was still USSG and while the issue was working its way up the Federal judiciary.

I took SCOTUS granting cert as a clue that it wants to overturn App-6, and that Kagan won’t be invited to the party is even better news.

Empire Strikes Back

Cambridge, Massachusetts

Remember this?

Administrators at Harvard are upset.  Not that this cheating scandal happened, but at the fact that someone told the media.

I guess even Harvard is so thrown in with race-based affirmative action and a winning “bassetball” team that it wants to burn the whistleblower at the stake.  Is this Cambridge, Massachusetts, or Salem, Massachusetts?

Speaking of, in spite of their personnel losses relating to this cheating scandal, Harvard won the Ivy League again and is headed back to the tournament.  However, just making a quick glance at this picture, I doubt it happened entirely above board this season, either.

Get Your Terrorism On

TSA screeners allow fed agent with fake bomb to pass through security at Newark Airport

(snip)

Newark Airport, which has 1,400 screeners and supervisors, has long struggled with security.

Last year, 52 baggage and traveler screeners were fired and another 19 disciplined for major security lapses and thefts.

Newark Airport was where a screener left a note saying, “Get your freak on, girl,” after finding a vibrator in the bag of a Manhattan attorney in 2011.

That explains a whole lot.

Because…diversity.

America: Chock Full o’Nuts

Los Angeles

Black former LAPD cop (probably someone the LAPD was forced to hire due to the affirmative action consent decree with the Federal courts) goes on a shooting rampage hurting three cops and two other people.  Turns out the black ex-cop is a big Obamahead and gun control advocate, along with advocating for MSNBC, Piers Morgan and Sir Skittles.

Haven’t you ever noticed something about a lot of “gun control” advocates?  They are merely projecting their own criminal, proto-criminal, flaky or nutty selves onto the rest of the world and everyone else in it, and they don’t want you to own firearms because they presume you’re as criminal, proto-criminal, flaky or nutty as they are.

Washington, D.C.

The Family Research Council shooter upper nutbar, just admitted at sentencing that he wanted to shoot up one of his political opponents, and therefore looked up the SPLC’s rock ‘em sock ‘em everything-must-go clearance list of extremisthategroups (TM).  I could have only wished that the nutbar picked a group on the SPLC’s list that does not really exist (of which there are many).

So, by the SPLC’s own standards, the SPLC has links to violent extremist hate criminals.

UPDATE 2 PM

Tony Perkins, FRC President, whose D.C. office was shot up by this nutbar who used the SPLC list to find a target, told the media something along the lines of “this is why we shouldn’t be on the SPLC’s list of hate groups.”

Wrong answer, slappy.  What you’re saying here is that you’re cool with the SPLC’s decades-long campaign of fund-raising agitprop and slander, as long as they slander someone else and not you.

Unemployable

Talk Radio

Instant analysis of the fool that just called Rush, to “explain” why public bureaucracies are full of blacks.  “Because private industry won’t hire black people with black sounding names,” she said.

Blogmeister responds:  Because Boo’shaniqua and N’De’Shawntavious are J’unemployable.  And Boo’shaniqua and N’De’Shawntavious aren’t unemployable because they have names like Boo’shaniqua and N’De’Shawntavious, they are unemployable because they are direct genetic descendants of people who think it’s a good idea to name their newborns Boo’shaniqua and N’De’Shawntavious.  IOW, the same people would still be unemployable with names like Jane and John.

However, more and more is the case that they are not unemployable in the private sector.  That’s because many larger corporations have bigger and bigger “equal opportunity” bureaucracies that, like the public sector, exist only to hire otherwise unemployable blacks.  The big difference is that the private sector wants to hire unemployable blacks named Jane and John who dress and behave semi-professionally, and have a relatively thin criminal record.  Meanwhile, Lemonjello, Orangejello and D’Felony are usually Post Office-bound.

Literacy Optional

USPS

Yeah, really.

I have to apologize for St. Louis helping to make this happen, and by “this,” I mean the Post Office hiring mostly illiterate unemployable blacks.  Bill Clay (Senior) ran the House Post Office Subcommittee from 1990 to 1994, and he used that time to ram affirmative action down the throats of the PO big time.

Now you know why if you live anywhere close to a lot of blacks, you’ll often get the wrong mail.  And don’t think that you’ll get quality white letter carriers in the suburbs — It is my experience in St. Louis that the PO will assign ghetto blacks to POs and routes so far away from the inner city of St. Louis that you literally have to live outside of the St. Louis area’s suburbanized footprint to all but guarantee that you have whites working at your delivery-level PO and on your route.  But don’t forget that’s only half the equation — The mail does have to get from point A to point B, and eventually, illiterate blacks will be handling it at some point.

Not even rural areas are immune.  My mail in my Carbondale (technically Carterville) address in 2009 was hit-and-miss simply because there was a mini-ghetto of residential blacks in Carbondale that the PO had to employ.

Then there’s another factor that isn’t quite the fault of the PO’s AA policies resulting in the hiring of literacy optional blacks.  Letter carriers are instructed to deliver mail where they best believe it should be delivered, and are instructed to ignore names that are posted on doors and mailboxes.  You see, the mailbox or mail slot might have a sign that reads, “Jane Doe,” but in reality, La’Quita Edwards with a dozen outstanding warrants lives there, but she can’t put her real name on a sign indicating her box or slot because she doesn’t want the inconvenience of being arrested.  You might put your own real name on your own box or slot, but the letter carrier is instructed to disregard that.

Because…postage rates went up, again.

And also…it is my experience that UPS and FedEx aren’t that much better when it comes to getting it right and losing stuff, especially UPS.  UPS is almost as bad as the USPS when it comes to AA.

Buffaloed

Buffalo, New York

Sounds like what happened in St. Louis, the only slight difference is that St. Louis involved improperly sterilized dental equipment, and Buffalo involves recycled insulin syringues.

I’m betting on these two similiarities:

1.  Affirmative action black VA employees

2.  If the Congressman whose Congressional district overlays this VA hospital is black, a neighboring white Congress/wo/man will have to do all the investigative legwork.

In Permanence

SCOTUS

Sonia Sotomayor to Savannah Guthrie:  We “still need affirmative action.”

Of course, we’ll always “need” it, as long as there is a pipeline of wise Latinas that need lifetime sinecures.  Because…you know…social justice.

This takes the big mystery on how she’ll rule in affirmative action cases…unless it won’t, and there never was any mystery.

Deep Thought

Your Blogmeister’s Desk

We can’t say that we oppose race-based affirmative action then turn right around and cheer its use (Tim Scott), comma, lamer cons.

Of course, I always thought that the opposition to AA that lamer cons put up was half-hearted at best, disingenuous probably.

On that note, get a load of this.

Liberty. Equality. Affirmative Action.

France

Francois, pourquoi?

Answer:  French politics and society are very loath to enact action positive.  But the hard core left of the French body politic really wants it.  Therefore, the answer is to do an end-run:  Make school so easy that everyone gets a diploma or degree, first at the elementary level, then at the secondary, then at the tertiary.  Therefore, you can hide affirmative action programs in both education and employment behind the sudden “equality” of academic achievement.

Doctor Shortage Could Cause Health Care Crash

The United States will require at least 52,000 more family doctors in the year 2025 to keep up with the growing and increasingly older U.S. population, a new study found.

The predictions also reflect the passage of the Affordable Care Act — a change that will expand health insurance coverage to an additional 38 million Americans.

“The health care consumer that values the relationship with a personal physician, particularly in areas already struggling with access to primary care physicians should be aware of potential access challenges that they may face in the future if the production of primary care physicians does not increase,” said Dr. Andrew Bazemore, director of the Robert Graham Center for Policy Studies in Primary Care and co-author of the study published Monday in the Annals of Family Medicine.

Stephen Petterson, senior health policy researcher at the Robert Graham Center, said the government should take steps — and quickly — to address the problem before it gets out of hand.

“There needs to be more primary care incentive programs that give a bonus to physicians who treat Medicaid patients in effort to reduce the compensation gap between specialists and primary care physicians,” said Petterson, who co-authored the study with Bazemore.

Wait, don’t tell me:

1.  More H-1B visas for Indians and Asians for fake pieces of paper from Asian degree mills

2.  More affirmative action to get barely-above-the-white-IQ-average blacks a piece of paper so he and she can play with a Fisher Price doctor kit.

While that’s not stated in here, you know they’re thinking it, and you know it’s coming.

Looking into a Crystal Ball

Maryland

Puggg, the second most frequent commenter here, noticed this in AR yesterday in a story about the black undertow complaining about yet another big city fire department (I added the link herein):

Ironically, the following web banner ad is appearing on the right side of this story as I’m reading it.

That’s where this whole issue is leading, according to Steve Sailer’s outlook:  In true Griggs vs Duke Power style, they’ll do away with hiring and promotion tests for fire departments and use education as a proxy.  The University of Maryland seems to be getting in on the ground floor of that trend.

Here’s the banner ad in question:

Puggg went on to say in another comment that:

Actually it’s the other way around. There will always be some fly by night for-profit college or some HBCU that will graduate [blacks] no matter what. Even mainstream colleges will pass them along without expecting any real work of them.

Any time testing is replaced with education, it’s always a sop to affirmative action.

Proof of that is what happened to the Federal bureaucracy after the PACE exam was scrapped in favor of educational requirements.

If you don’t think that mainstream colleges will give undergraduate and even graduate degrees to affirmative action blacks to help them in their first responder career, I have two names for you:  Dan Isom, Charles Moose.

White firefighters rally at Brooklyn federal court over FDNY hiring

There was a big crowd outside courthouse, but only 36 of the 180 people scheduled to speak at a formal hearing inside show up

More than 200 white firefighters rallied Monday outside a Brooklyn courthouse against the court-ordered fix for the FDNY entrance exam — but a hearing being held inside on the controversy was an almost total bust.

(snip)

Each speaker inside, mostly current firefighters, was allowed two minutes to vent.

“Seniority was earned in the dead of night when these benefactors were home sleeping,” said firefighter Matthew Bland, a nine-year veteran.

“I am concerned for the future of my department … Standards must remain high,” said Chief Nicholas Corrado, the highest-ranking FDNY officer to testify.

“I feel I’m being discriminated against because I’m Caucasian,” firefighter Michael Butt said.

The judge has blocked out his entire calendar through Thursday for a so-called Fairness Hearing, but he was able to adjourn Monday’s proceeding at 11 a.m. after the list of speakers was exhausted.

The FDNY, which is 89% white, is facing sweeping changes in the way it recruits and hires firefighters in the wake of a federal lawsuit filed in 2007 by the U.S. Justice Department and the Vulcan Society of black firefighters.

(snip)

After devising a new entrance exam and spending millions on recruitment efforts, a record number of minorities took the test last spring and nearly half scored 97 or better, making them likely to be considered for hiring.

Outside court, members of the Vulcan Society and their lawyers said the speakers inside have their facts all wrong.

“To stand here and say that the people who are going to be hired are unqualified is false,” said Darius Charney of the Center for Constitutional Rights. “They are going to have to pass the same screening tests as anyone else.”

The problem is, the tests have been made so easy that just about anyone can pass it.  That’s the La Griffe 101 theory:  Make the test so easy that most blacks can pass it, then do a random lottery drawing among those who passed to see who gets hired.  I think adjunct to that is those hired will then get a secondary test to see whether they actually do any work or whether their only work will be showing up for employee photo day to have a photo of a “diverse” FDNY to satisfy the affirmative action vultures.

The FDNY is probably the institution left in New York City that really looks like America.

Key Words

Amherst, Massachusetts

I have emboldened certain words here to make it plain as day obvious what’s going on.

The Amherst Student:

Basler Resigns After Admitting to Plagiarism

Last Monday, Sept. 17, former professor Carleen Basler resigned from the College after admitting that her written work contained unattributed verbatim quotations and improper references of other scholars’ work.

(snip)

The plagiarism in Basler’s work was discovered when she was being reviewed for tenure in the Anthropology and Sociology and the American Studies departments. As is common with any tenure review, the senior members of the departments were reviewing all of her written work, closely reading it themselves, as well as sending it to outside scholars for review.

Got a hint yet?

Since some believe that Basler did not ask for help because she didn’t feel that Amherst was a safe and understanding place, both faculty and students brought to the forefront the issue of creating a better environment in which people feel more comfortable coming forward with their academic problems.

Getting warmer.

Aviles took “White Identity” with Basler his first year at Amherst before knowing what he wanted to major in, and it was that class with her that convinced him to declare Sociology as his major.

Oh so warm.  Be assured that this “White Identity” course wasn’t one where a book by Jared Taylor of the same name was on the syllabus.

Basler was not only interested in students’ academics, but she was also very invested in student life. Coming from a Mexican-American background, she was particularly interested in the diversity of the student body.

Bingo.

University Of Chicago Does Away With Swim Test Requirement

For generations of University of Chicago college freshmen, the awkward experience of orientation week included lining up in swimwear with a mixed-gender group of strangers, waiting your turn to prove you could swim 100 yards continuously.

But a published report now says the swim test will soon be history, along with the physical fitness and endurance tests that led many students to end up with a gym requirement.

Ironically, Michelle Obama, Miss Let’s Move, once had a no-show job with this school’s medical center.

Anything that involves getting rid of a swimming test is probably meant to accrue to the benefit of the African Rockfish.

Even though I’m a poor swimmer, always have been, and probably couldn’t pass this test.

City offers ‘a leg up’ in job interviews to CPS graduates

Chicago Public Schools graduates could have an advantage landing interviews for jobs with the city, whether it be tree trimming or fighting fires.

Under a new iniatiative announced Saturday by Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office, the Department of Human Resources will make sure CPS graduates are among at least 20 percent of job applicants they refer to city department managers.

But, the department managers must first specify that they want the CPS graduate preference applied to their pool of applicants, said city spokeswoman Caroline Weisser.

And, the program does not guarantee the grads will get the job, Weisser said.

“But it provides them a leg up in that process,” she said.

You’ll never guess what this is about.  Hint:  CPS students are 85% black or Hispanic.

If it doesn’t guarantee them jobs, then Rahm will just stick his hand out to Obama and ask for money.  And you can bet Obama will fill it, because he’ll issue an executive order, moaning about how “we can’t wait to help our children,” and John Boehner will just sit there with his usual clueless/lachrymose look.

Math Bez Racists, Sheeyt

BRA

Education News:

HetchingerEd is offering a rather radical proposal to increase the number of American students who graduate college: dump math. Specifically, the argument is that since many college students, a disproportionately large number of them of an African-American or Hispanic descent, are unprepared to tackle college-level mathematics courses, they might be stymied by a requirement that all those receiving a degree from a particular institution must pass the freshman version of the course.

Just get rid of all standards, and just give every person “of African-American or Hispanic descent” a college diploma as a reward for turning 22 years old.

Take a hint:  Math is one of the very few subject areas that cannot be dumbed down or affirmative actioned.  Math at the college level is purely an abstraction:  Either you have the brain pans to grok it or you don’t.

The original article at HetchingerEd suggests that many college students should be steered into prob/stat rather than the typical math course sequence of alg/geo/trig/calc because prob/stat is relevant to many more careers.  Trust me:  If you can’t get algebra, you’re not going to get probability and statistics.

Alien DNA

Washington, D.C.

Jeremiah “God Damn America US of KKKA” Wright came out against Obama.

I wonder how much this cost the Obama campaign.

Daily Caller:

Wright later went on to suggest that America’s elite universities infect African Americans with “white racist DNA.”

“Take a baby born an African, as an African in the oven,” he said, using Malcolm X’s saying “just because a cat has kittens in the oven, that doesn’t make them biscuits” as a reference point for his riff.

“Take that baby him or her away from the African mother, away from the African community, away from the African experience … and put them Africans at the breasts of Yale, Harvard, University of Chicago, those trinity schools, UCLA or U.C. Berkley. Turn them into biscuits then they’ll get that alien DNA all up inside their brain and they will turn on their own people in defense of the ones who are keeping their own people under oppression.”

Okay.  Then why do people like God Damn America US of KKKA support affirmative action in college admissions, and steadfastly oppose any effort to get rid of it?

911 center’s dispatch system back up after crashing overnight

Chicago’s state-of-the-art dispatch system, which routes emergency calls to police in the field, crashed late Monday night but was up and running by this morning.

Technicians at the Office of Emergency and Management Communications on the Near West Side repaired the system early this morning, but city officials still hadn’t determined what caused the system crash.

Here’s your determination, Sherlock:  You put high technology in front of a bunch of affirmative action hires.

Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said recently he wants to work with the OEMC to cut the number of calls cops answer by midsummer so officers can focus more on their beats.

If that fails, then blame the Pilgrims.

Affirmative Action TSA Hires Trigger JFK Chaos:  Sources

These black fools are keeping us safe?!?

The TSA’s bungling reached a new low yesterday when a JFK Airport terminal had to be evacuated and hundreds of first world passengers trying to make a living marched back through security screening all because one affirmative action dimwitted agent failed to realize his metal detector had been unplugged, sources told The Post.

The stunning example of black competence led to hours of delays, two planes called back from the runway and infinite frustration for furious passengers, not to mention a measurable hit on America’s GDP.

“The truth is, this is the failure of the most basic level of intelligence,” a law-enforcement source too scared to tell the truth said.

“How can you expect the public to feel confident of the mission of the TSA if they hire every N’Desahwntavious and Booshondia off the streets?”
