description: I hope you don’t mind me venting. For months I’ve known my current job was ending at the end of January. I’m a temp hire who has been here for almost 2 years. My boss has been trying to get an extra person approved in the company all this time to hire me on. So all this time he has been able to keep extending my contract but just a few months ago corporate announced that temp workers can only work 9 months straight then have to be hired on or find a new job then return. My boss says I do an excellent job and would love to hire me on but theirs a snag. We have a slacker in our department. Guy doesn’t do his job. Hell half his job I’ve been given since he complains that he is to busy. I do my work plus his and still have enough time to chat on the forums lol. If he would sit in his seat more than half the day he probably could get some work done. Instead he visits several people all day chatting. The department I work in is Telecommunications. I’m the operator for all incoming calls and I give the work out to where it should go. Everyone pulls their weight and will help another out of needed all but this guy. I get complaints constantly about him not following up or doing his job. That’s why some of his responsibilities are now mine to keep from the department having complaints. I told my boss today why don’t you just fire his ass and give me his work. I can do mine plus his then you have your headcount and don’t have to get another one approved. Well turns out they just did. They fired him today. So why am I pissed off, you would think I’d be happy. In order for my boss to hire me he has to be approved to hire on 2 employees. First one he has to hire before me is a minority. See now he is fired and he was black we no longer have a minority in our department. Since I’m white they can’t hire me on. My boss said even if I get a new job once they hire a minority then he wants me back. Now don’t you dare label me as a bigot since I’m pissed off to no end. Whatever happene…

description: For fuck's sake. I hate affirmative action. It's really a big farce. All it does is creates a "reverse" inequality. Instead of the white man putting the black man down, they slap the white man. Whatever happened to equality of opportunity? Now we're slapped in the face with equality of outcome. It's complete and utter bullshit, and I certainly don't view you as a bigot. I am SO happy that Michigan passed Proposition 2 to ban Affirmative Action programs. If you want equality in the workplace, hire those based on credentials, not race. It's quite a simple concept, really.

Im afraid that has not happened in Darks case. Take it to an Industrial Tribunal and I am sure that if you inform your Line Manager of your intentions, you may see an immediate back down from Management.

description: Its happened here in Strathclyde, Scotland. One of the biggest regions as opposed to a city. Strathclyde Fire and Rescue have been told that we must recruit more ethnics and females. Thats all fine and well, but they have discriminated against all, straight, white, males. Its now at the stage, that being white in Strathclyde is to be in the minority. It has to stop and this can only be achieved by taking them to court and making a legal stance against discrimination. So, Dark, take them the whole road.

description: "A case in point: How many female firefighters are there in comparison to the number of total firefighters worldwide and female percent of the total population? Woman can't do the job as well as men or for as long as men. They can do the EMS, cleaning, cooking and rig checks as well men; but they don't fair as well carrying the heavy equipment, tear-down poles, operating the heavy extracation equipment or carrying victims out of a building as well as a man can. FACT: Most 45 year old, out of shape males can still lift and carry more weight than most in shape 45 year old females. Differences in the genders are responsible for the disparity in this profession. It's not sexism at all. If you can pass the test, you get the job. Most women can't pass the test - it's just that simple. I submit this opinion: Survey results would show that most Americans would feel safer knowing that a MALE firefigher was carrying them out of a burning building as opposed to a woman." That's my aunt's opinion on the issue. I can't say I disagree.

description: Great result Dark. Especially with Christmas upon us. Tis the season to rejoice afterall. See you back in UN to kick some asse. Off topic for BAL, I agree with your sentiments. There is only one female fire-fighter that I have had in my Watch, that can do the job. 6'2", skinny and blonde. The rest have been a waste of space for reasons that you covered. If they can do the job, accept them, if they cant......self explanatory. Show no exceptions to the rule, discriminate against no-one. Positive discrimination allows a female to work in a female toilet, male in a male toilet. Thats the only time discrimination must be used. Back to Dark, sorry for hijacking

description: It sounds like they just tried to shut you up. If you don't do something about it, yeah ... you're fine for now ... but then the next guy has to worry about it. I'm not trying to egg you on, because I completely understand your situation and I'm happy for you. But the line has to be drawn somewhere, and if white people keep "tolerating" this kind of bullshit, its not going to get any better. As for what PuddleSplasher said: "No individual shall be disadvantaged or looked upon less favourably due to race, colour, creed, sex, sexual orientation, age." He was being put at a disadvantage of not getting a job that he was more qualified for because of his race/color. The reason I screamed "DISCRIMINATION!" in my first post in this thread is, because all Affirmative Action is, is discriminating the discriminators. Two wrongs don't make a right. And to add on that, I honestly think that most people would agree (and even find statistics to back this up) that more blacks discriminate whites than whites discriminate blacks. I was walking down the street with my fiancee about a month ago when an older black man ... who looked kinda shady (not because of his color, but because of the fact that he wasn't shaven and has a strange demeanor to him) started following us. I just blew it off and kept walking. But he continued to walk faster and chase up with us - so finally I told my fiancee that he could be trouble so slow down a bit and walk ahead of me in case he tries to pull some crap. When he caught up to us he was like "can I get a jump" (apparently for his car) and I told him that I was nowhere near my home or vehicle and that I couldn't help him. His response? A very agressive "Why are all you crackers around here so damn racist?!". Which is pretty damn racist in itself. I think the discrimination problem has turned on the "working, able-bodied white man" and since we are numerically inferior these days not a damn things is being done about it. That is why I am so adamant abou…

description: Thats proper law. I see no wrong in a situation like that. Thats why its called (in the UK) Positive discrimination. It only defines that if there is a job that needs filled specifically by male or female, then it grants a right to the employer to fullfill their obligation by selecting male/female respectively. I too have only given an example. But in the UK this is LAW. Imagine a family member in a nursing home. Who would you prefer washes and cleans your Mums body in the shower and bath? A man? certainly not for me, thats undignified. Now this is where Positive discrimination takes place.

It's the error made when you go from the general to the specific. For example: "Christians generally dislike atheists. You are a Christian, so you must dislike atheists." This fallacy is often committed by people who try to decide moral and legal questions by mechanically applying general rules.

description: I am *EXTREMELY* discriminate against TYPES of people. I would argue that many people are. So if one race identifies with one of these traits a lot more than another, that makes me dislike them more than the other. Another point, while I'm on the subject: if you look at crime statistics, education statistics, etc. and look at the actual facts - you will notice well-defined differences between a few ethnicities. Hell, when you look at any official crime statistic they break it down by race. Why would they bother doing that if there wasn't such a difference? This just goes to show that some races are more STEREOTYPICALLY not as intelligent, more likely to comit crime, and more susceptible to certain illnesses. Though this does not mean that ALL persons of this ethnicity are going to fit this stereotype ... it does prove (by facts and history) that people have a valid reason to look at them differently because of their race. To get to the point, I have had numerous black friends throughout my life. Not only did I grow up in the south burbs of Chicago where I (white people) was the minority, but I have served in the U.S. military where there is a very diverse spread of cultures. The reason I chose to be friends with the person who was black was the same reason I would be friends with anyone of any other race. However, generally speaking, I do not care for black people. Does that make me a racist? Or does that mean that I have come to a realization that "they" are more likely to comit a crime ... that they have illnesses that most humans do not have (such as sickle cell anemia) ... and that they are usually less intelligent? No - I do not think that makes me racist at all. --If you are lazy, its your fault (because you choose to be). --If you do not speak properly, its your fault (because you choose to speak like an idiot) --If you don't make something of yourself and spend your life in the ghetto, its your fault (because you didn't pick yourself up) --If you have 10 kid…

description: Uhh... since when does race make someone more likely to commit a crime? If you look at a city like Detroit and see that it's mostly black, and you see that it has a MUCH higher crime rate than a white community, you're not mistaken to assume that blacks DO commit more crimes, but it's all about the environment. Blacks, as opposed to whites, live in poverty stricken areas more than whites do. I think it may be safe to say that blacks, in general, want more things handed to them and won't work to better themselves, but it's not a product of their race. It's clearly the result of conditioning from generations past. However, I'm not relieving blame for their actions.. but they aren't directly related to their race. As for them being less intelligent... that's another product of their environment. A human is a human. Why are Asians better at math than Americans? Because of their culture. Why are more white people in corporate America? Because of their upbringing. The same goes for any race. It's not a product of their race, but a product of their environment. We all live in different environments, and we'll grow up differently because of that.

That bit I would disagree with, Black people on average are bigger built and faster runners than chinese for example - certain physical characteristics are influenced by race and intelligence of certain types can also be affected by race. No argument that culture, lifestyle and upbringing have a much larger effect though.

A human is a human. Why are Asians better at math than Americans? Because of their culture. Why are more white people in corporate America? Because of their upbringing. The same goes for any race. It's not a product of their race, but a product of their environment. We all live in different environments, and we'll grow up differently because of that. That bit I would disagree with, Black people on average are bigger built and faster runners than chinese for example - certain physical characteristics are influenced by race and intelligence of certain types can also be affected by race. No argument that culture, lifestyle and upbringing have a much larger effect though. Our brains are the same, though. It's just how you use it.

description: I see my thread has developed into something else. I think everyone is leaving out an important fact. Why do blacks feel they need to have something handed to them? Why do they see the world still as racist, white against black? Why is crime so high in black neighborhoods? Is it cause their stupid? I don’t believe this is the case. How can you have 2 blacks from the same neighborhood, same poverty, same everything turn out so different. Ones in jail while the other has “made it” in the real world. What’s the difference? I say its mindset. It’s what you listen to. Have you ever heard you will become in five years like the ones you listen to today. Personally I think it’s the black leadership in this country. If racism were to disappear off the planet tomorrow Jessie Jackson and others like him would be out of a job. They promote racism and promote the idea that blacks are held down. Remember when Bill Cosby came out against the black leadership and was blaming them for the way blacks are today. Check out this article: http://www.townhall.com/columnists/LaShawnBarber/2006/10/02/corrupt_black_leader ship_and_culture_of_failure_impede_black_progress Here’s a quote from it: Poor blacks aren’t poor because of white racism; they are caught up in a culture of failure, and the current crop of black leaders helps perpetuate the cycle. I agree 100% with this article.

Quite a few blacks live in poverty. Poverty equals higher crime rate. You're right, it can. But something like 95% of the people that have it are african american. Can you please back that up with something? Sickle cell was linked to African tribes where there were Malaria outbreaks in the past, and has more to do with Malaria than race. I also don't understand how you're using sickle cell to justify your bigotry. How does sickle cell affect negatively and how does it justify bigotry toward a group of people? Fucking AIDS patients.

description: Dude, look at the fucking FACTS. And if you want to say that its part of their environment, then why the hell are they in that environment in the first place? Because they don't have a choice? If they're just as equal ... if they're just as intelligent ... if they're just as crime-prone .... then why are they in the situation that white people are not? I'll tell you why: because most of them don't put the right foot forward and make steps to pull themselves out of that lifestyle. They have the same rights and opportunity (if not more, as proven by the initiation of this thread) yet they find themselves in situations that many white people do not. It is NOT because of their surroundings. People make up their surroundings through choices and they have had their chances to pull themselves out of their "slavery days". They just continue to pass down their poor work ethic, poor communication skills, illnesses, etc. and make the problem worse. Infecting others as they ignorantly refuse to improve themselves.

Also, I'm not excusing their lack of ambition. It's entirely their fault, but you want to make it seem like it's hardwired into black people like it's part of their genetics. It's their environment's fault. There are plenty of black people who realize that living in a shitty house in a shitty community is not what someone should allow themselves to do. There are also a lot of white people who feel that everything should be handed to them, and then they end up in those shitty communities. There's always going to be an exception to a rule. However, the general and OBVIOUS conclusion is that how you're raised is how you're going to view things in life. If you're not taught to live respectably and give others respect, chances are you're going to live like shit and treat others like shit. A + B = C; A != C; B != C. When there are more than one variables to the problem, you can't just look at one to get the solution.

They don't deserve a job any more than I do, and if they're as qualified as me, they don't deserve it any less. Especially not because of their skin color. The discrimination that they faced, they no longer face. I can understand Affirmative Action for those who were affected by racism back in the '60s, but generations have passed, and these fuckwits don't deserve anything because of discrimination that doesn't happen as widescale as it used to. They need to get over the idea that the white man is out to get them, and if they actually tried to better themselves, the white man may actually hire their ignorant asses. Look in every textbook and encyclopedia about the Black Plague/Death. You'll find that everything points to the 14th Century. If you don't believe that, then you're obviously someone who chooses to ignore the obvious. There were plenty records of the Black Plague that were salvaged and found. That's how we know those dates are correct. It's not ex…

They had to build a mountain of evidence to fire this guy. If he’d had been white pulling the crap he did he would have been gone a whole lot sooner. If you’re the boss of a lazy minority you better have your ducks all in a row before firing or find yourself in court. Years ago I worked for this one company who had a black guy working there. He never showed up on time, never did much at work and missed several days during work. No biggie lots of people are lazy like that of all races. Difference with him and everyone knew it because he would say it in front of everyone, you can’t fire me because I’m black and I’d sue your ass. They finally did but they had to gather a lot of proof before hand. Just curious are you a minority? If so could be why you don't see it? Or maybe your liberal lol could be the other reason.

They send their kids to public schools to get an education that none of them pay for which overloads the school systems(I have a sister who works for an inner city elementary school in Tulsa which over the pass couple of years has seen a huge increase in Mexican immigrant's children). A driver's license?...forget about it...insurance?...you wish. Because of that if you only have liability insurance(which is mandatory in Oklahoma) you are fucked if you are hit by an illegal immigrant driver. Like I said before they have very admirable qualities of hard work and family but there has to be something done about the way they are absorbed into our society. Unless something is done it will in my opinion lead to utter chaos.

description: gbull wrote on Sun, 24 December 2006 16:49 That was the dumbest use of sarcasm I've ever seen. You state that Inuits are Canadian.You used Inuits, not I. Eskimo groups in Canada and Greenland have adopted the name Inuit, although the term has not taken hold in Alaska or Siberia. Behold, all groups are known as Eskimos, as I clearly stated. So the idea of an Eskimo from the North Pole, Greenland, Siberia, in furs, rubbing noses with the Glaswegians, of Scotland, in the middle of Sauchiehall St, certainly would be a case of sarcasm. It may be cold here, with 3 days a year of snow, but not to the extent that we have fully fledged Eskimos with Igloos in my street, as opposed to the other races that have taken residence. I now see Blacks, Indians, Chinese living in my street and as you correctly say, they are invisible to the State. "Ma, paw and the Weans", but when you add in the rest of the family, who dont speak english, take every penny from the Goverment, put nothing into the community,then receive one of the largest houses in the Street with everything from Gas, Electricity, Rent/Mortgage, car, all paid for them. then it is little wonder that we rebel against them.
