The problem is not the test but lack of qualified candidates applying.
I don;t think that is what the article is saying:
Quote:
Dayton is in desperate need of officers to replace dozens of retirees. The hiring process was postponed for months because the D.O.J. rejected the original scores provided by the Dayton Civil Service Board, which administers the test.
In other words they are desperate because they couldn't hire anyone.
There are only 3 logical explanations why this is happening
1. Blacks are not as intelligent as Whites - Racist explanation
2. The tests are biased - Liberal explanation
3. Not enough qualified Blacks are applying or being recruited - my explanation
Obviously a flawed test that traditionally favored white applicants. You're implying that blacks are inferior and this is wrong. There's more to this story in Dayton than what you're presenting here.
Why is the 1st explanation racist? If it's true its not racist its just the way things are. People make things racist by constantly complaining over things instead of working to become better at them.Its easier to scream racism than to work hard I suppose.

Or the blacks applying didn't put the time and effort into studying for it because they know they'll get the job no matter what.

That sounds like a very possible answer. Once the black gets the job and has to take a test for a promotion he has to study up for the Sergeants promotion just as anybody else does.
Not going to answer me or just going to use the smiley faces and act like that's an answer? I am being serious here...

Your response is proof that number 1 is flawed
