more racism for you all to rail about

[justashooter 430]

200 hundred workers were fired by the New York Legislature because of their race, welcome to Bizzaro land.

And why is it when they say "minorities," plural, when they really mean only one single minority?

quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During the first five months of this year, with the Senate under the control of its first African-American majority leader, [state Senator Malcolm] Smith, top Democrats bemoaned the lack of minority Senate staffers.

But instead of trying to recruit new hires, they fired nearly 200 almost exclusively white workers and replaced them with a large number of minority employees, many of whom were seen by their fellow workers to be unskilled at their new jobs.

The move produced severe racial tensions, made worse by the fact that, as a high-level Democratic staffer confided, “We’ve been told to only hire minorities.'’

Those were useless, pointless leeches anyway.

So let me get this straight.

The Democrats came in and fired the Republicans.

Okay ..........like we didn't know THAT would happen.

And the new Senator happens to be black. And a lot of his Democratic supporters (who got new jobs) are also black.

Should that be shocking to anyone?

justashooter, do you ramble around the web looking for idiotic nonsense to be pi$$ed off about? Or does your 'stupid' radar just lead you there?

Oh that's very good!

Did you learn that in third grade?

I was hoping you knew something else on the issue beyond your mere opinion.

Whatever happened to that old racist philosophy of judging people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin?

I don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that most of the staffers are going to be of the same political 'persuasion' as the controlling party.

Just thought I'd point that out to you as USING ONES HEAD is always helpful when reading ANY political commentary. Whether it be to the right, left or down the middle.

Great ideal, but it seems to have long since gone the way of the Dodo...

Political correctness keeps the left dishonest.
