Eric Holder thinks black people are too stupid to pass police test

The biggest theory used as reasoning is that these tests are "culturally biased" and that they need to be changed and the criteria for passing needs to be lowered in order to help minorities pass. However, even after the test was changed and the levels brought down to insane levels, minorities still failed the tests. So, instead of reconsidering the approach taken and perhaps considering trying something new, the answer is to simply bring the standards down even further, making an F essentially an A. Okay. But in all honesty, we've tried it this way for a while now. The tests are being dumbed down to no end, people are preaching that they're all culturally biased, and yet people are still failing the tests! They're just being allowed in even if they suck. I'm thinking that instead of dumbing the things down and preaching that minorities can't pass them unless the standards are lower, they should set the standards EVEN HIGHER and preach that people need to study even harder! You never hear complaints about a test being too hard from people who have passed the test. You only hear about bias and things being unfair when people fail. Folks then swoop in to save the day, standing in a "victim's" corner and effectively institute social justice in order to "fix" things. But things don't get fixed! Maybe preaching that people need to study harder and stop relying on dumbed-down systems will ensure that people study harder! Seriously. When you go into things already being told that it's biased and that you can't succeed, that sticks with you. Raise the standards tremendously! That's how you fix it. Then you will find out for sure how certain aspects of the test need to change in order to better accommodate all cultures. They're working in reverse, which is extremely dangerous. Attracting the best qualified candidates should be the goal, the color of someone's skin aside. The big theory they use may be correct to a small extent. But it could also be that minorities are ingrained with failure before they even start, because the Holder's of the world completely remove the obstacle instead of insisting people climb over it. If the latter is wrong, let's at least find out of it's wrong. Let's stop this nonsense of dropping standards for Americans for the sake of a more culturally diverse workforce. Sure, the workforce looks different - but it also acts different. It's worse! It's full up with unqualified people.

It's racist when you or I do it, but not when an institution demands it. It's as simple as that. But, it's not going to change anytime soon. It's the liberal party that demands affirmative action and cultivates the victim mentality. If a minority leaves the liberal mindset and starts holding to personal responsibility and accountability, he's lambasted for selling out, being an Uncle Tom, leaving the reservation, getting uppity, you name it. The KKK is alive and well, only David Duke is co-chairing it with Rev Jesse Jackson. Part of me says, "Don't lower the standards any more than they already are." The other part says, "We have standards? How did the libs let those last?"

What a racist! I know many intelligent African-Americans out there. I go to college with many of them. There was actually a girl here in California, from Los Angeles, Skid Row, and she got into an ivy league university on a full scholarship, she was on Oprah and in several newspapers for her achievements. When I was in elementary, middle school, high school and college, I have known several African-Americans who were extremely smart and surpassed many of the Whites, Latinos, and Asians on standardized test.

This reminds me of an article written by a Black Lawyer. He was interviewing for a position with a large law firm and he said he was the the number 3 person on the College Law Review. The reaction of the interviewer was, is that the minority position. It was not and he earned it by his own work and grades. What happens when you "give or set aside" a position of minorities then all achievement is viewed as being "given" to the person. In Dayton every minority police or fire fighter will be viewed as a failure who could not do anything else so they had to have the job "given" to them. They have to study the test to see if it is culturally bias. They found out that IQ tests were bias with simple questions to show me the house and minorities were selecting the building that was an office building. Even white children who lived in apartments were able to select the correct single family house. That question now allows both answers.

Affirmative Action is a result of white guilt. White guilt is letting African Americans off the hook when it comes to responsibility and accountability. It demeans the black race by assuming that after emmancipation, they still needed the white man to lift them up, cause they couldn't lift themselves up. Same as the 'good' plantation owners took care of their slaves, we (the white race) need to take care of those once slaves. Does any one know that immediately after immacipation blacks were in local, state and federal government? It was reconstruction that brought on jim crow laws? Trouble is,there probably is not one white person alive who ever owned a slave or a black person alive who was a slave in the south. Its time for EVERYONE to grow up. Its time to re listen to MLK's I Have a Dream speech, cause his dream has been hijacked. As usual, follow the money. People like Jessie Jackson and Sharpton would not have the rich lives they've had if not for white guilt.

I think it is very sad that in this day and age this is still a issue. The requirements should be the same for all races. I am more shocked at the D and C-. They should be raised higher for all to the A's and B's, maybe a C. Is this the requirement for all or is it different scores for different races? It is not acceptable and this is the first time I have heard of this. If someone wants to be a police officer or a fire fighter they should pass this tests at a higher range. I agree I don't want someone with a D or F trying to save lives either. I also believe African Americans can also pass at a higher level. It's not the color of your skin that makes you smart. It is studying and putting all the hard work in to achieve any type of job.

how much easyer do the tests have to be for minoritys? there is already affirmative action giving minoritys 10 point bonus on the tests
