white officer wins 896k in reverse racism suit.

Timothy Sassak says he was the victim of reverse discrimination, passed over for a promotion in the Ecorse police department because he is white.

A jury agreed, awarding Sassak $869,000 last week, according to the News-Herald.

In the lawsuit, Sassak alleged the city lowered it's testing requirements to allow a black corporal to receive a promotion Sassak was seeking.

NewsHerald.com, Nov. 14: While national standards dictate that the cutoff for a passing score is 70, city officials upped the score initially to 90 and then lowered it slightly to just below the score of a black corporal they wanted to promote, according to Sassak’s attorney, Amos Williams.

That corporal, Gregory Blade, was allowed to leave the testing location with the exam for two hours and turn it in later, while everyone else had to complete the test on site, Williams said.

Sassak's attorney says his client was disciplined several times after complaining within the department but was willing to settle with the city before the case went to trial.

“I told the city to give my client $30,000 and the next promotion to sergeant and we’ll be done,” Amos Williams told the News-Herald. “By the time we got back to my office, the city said, ‘No, we withdraw.’ So we went to trial … and the jury awarded him $869,000.”

because in spinster's view, only whites are racist....and if a white is discriminated against, it means shit because OTHER whites discriminated much worse....

he takes an eternal group view, because whites owned slaves, all whites are forever guilty and can never be discriminated against....
 
Great spurt, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.
They are both the same, except blacks are discriminated against like 100 times the amount whites are. And for a couple hundred more years. Thus I don't dig the false outrage fest.
