IN THIS DAY AND AGE – AT 7:31 P.M. ET:  Another contribution to American society from Barack Obama's Justice Department.  From the Dayton Daily News:

DAYTON — The city’s Civil Service Board and the U.S. Department of Justice have agreed on a lower passing score for the police recruit exam after it was rejected because not enough blacks passed the exam.

The city lowered both written exams a combined 15 points that resulted in 258 more people passing the exam, according to a statement released Thursday by Civil Service officials. The agreement allows the city to immediately resume its plans to hire police and firefighters.

COMMENT:  What is so outrageous is that African Americans and their "leaders" continue to accept this kind of pandering.  If there is a problem with blacks, or anyone else, passing the exam, the answer is some additional help before the test, not lowering the standards. 

Imagine being a black police officer in Dayton, knowing that everyone around you wonders how you got there.  That is the insidiousness of double standards and misplaced affirmative action.

Obama needs a new attorney general.  Eric Holder is a race man, first and foremost, and this kind of outrage is an example of his thinking.  But Obama doesn't realize the problem...because he doesn't think it's a problem at all.
