So why do YOU think the black firefighters performed poorly relative to their white colleagues on the firefighter's promotion eligibility exam?
I'll post a poll, but go ahead and post your thoughts.

They failed to work as hard, otherwise they would've been competitive. They relied on the policy they believed would work in their favor, and past arguments had come to nothing against. Otherwise we would have go believe that this group of black guys were less intelligent than their white counterparts. I say intelligent because they were all exposed to the same work requirments, knew the nomenclature, and the standards and practices.
So.....why work very hard for something you believe you will get in any case? These black firemen believed their competition was other black guys, that the white guys would be duly discounted. And that had been the case until the white guys stood up for themselves. If the black guys had studied as hard for the exam as the white guys did the results would've been closer, avoiding a court case at the end.
But having relied on the levelling process, which that did not result, they may have begun to undo that policy and in the end black folks competing with whites will see the need to compete as equals, not presuming already having a leg up.
Why would they presume that they had a leg up here?

Um, because the city went to such extraordinary lengths to coddle them and their "civic boosters" that the case went all the way to the fucking Supreme Court of the United States?
Other than that, not really much of a reason.
They are either stupid or lazy, eh?
All black people must be exactly alike in Mani's stereotypical world.
