    Usually when a fire company goes out amd does a inspection they go by invitation and there are 3 to 6 firefighters. So when you have 1 person company is very unusual

    You don't hand government benefits to superiors. AA is due to the official view by Government that blacks are inferior.

    Correct. Let’s toss out all AA then. No more racial requirements for anything. The best will be the best. Deal? Then no one can ever be accused of getting a job, loan or accepted into college to fulfill a quota.

    Where the hell did I say blacks were the only minority in Oakland? Twice, that means two times for the learning impaired, I said blacks were the largest minority in Oakland.

    The first time I met Sonny was at his home in Oakland. Actually it was at his garage where a bunch of Angels were working on their bikes.

    It was right after I got out of the Corps (71) One Angle who stuck out was this Angel named "Tiny" who wasn't so tiny but really huge.

    Something about Oakland during the 60's and early 70's, it was just in the air, a feeling. Nothing but bikers and Black Panthers.

    Two weeks later when I was back in the South Bay in L.A.Co. I bought my first Harley from a Hells Angel, a 65 Panhead on a 52 rigid frame.
    $1.2000 is what I paid for the bike.

    WTF?? that video only shows that people only record black people, and not the majority that smoke meth in that area....That is the camera mans bias.

    Ok...Just so you know AA affects white woman more then any minority...so you are basically trying to keep white woman home in the kitchen?

    So, you won't back up your claim. That is usually called a fabrication. And in this case, it would be a correct interpretation.

    Your link didn't call out the largest minority or even any single minority. You did, you called out blacks, specifically.
    And I bet, there are more females, a minority, than blacks. So you didn't eve call out the largest minority.

    You called out BLACKS. All by yourself.

    Why are democrats so racist?
    Oakland, California is over 80% democrat so more then likely those that called the police on the black firefighter are democrats

    AA isn't a racial program.
    AA is to help improve minority groups that have been held back by the system.
    But it is getting close to a time when it can be paired back or eliminated. But not just yet. They system is still gamed, slightly, against minorities.

    Correct. Toss gender out as well. Forgot to add it. Women don’t need help. If they’re qualified they’ll be hired. There is no conspiracy to not hire women.

    But there are programs to avoid hiring men. No problem though since men can do other things. Far too many in tech. They can go empty trash or something.

    Once upon a time there was. And some old white men, still are alive today that have that belief.
    Perhaps in another generation, most will be gone.

    The system is gamed for the most qualified and men are the most qualified in careers they dominate. Women are a few decades late to the party when it comes to tech. No reason they should be fast tracked just to even the numbers. It’s pure bigotry.

    And? Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean they're not conducted.

    The supervisor for the area’s inspection program told The East Bay Times that residents had received notices that firefighters would be carrying out the annual inspections in the area. Prior to inspecting a property, firefighters knock on residents’ doors to alert them about the activity, but if no one is home, they have a legal right to walk around the home and take notes, officials told the newspaper.

    Sometimes, sometimes I don't.

    Sometimes I deal in facts while other times my personal opinions.

    All that matters is I'm not politically correct and will call a spade a spade and that's not politically correct.

    English please, or spell checker.
    Who claims it is based on skin color only? Certainly those not racist don't make any such claim.
