Spineless Submission to Racism Gone Wild

Here is a copy of a report submitted to the Cambridge City Council on October 31, 2011 by City Manager Robert Healy. Recently Healy was forced to accept a state court award for $8 million in damages for firing a black woman 12 years ago and settling for unknown amounts two other discrimination cases in the city. Alas Healy now joins an abuse of black officials in the city demanding 30 percent of all jobs in the school department. According to my sources the US census found Cambridge has about 12 percent black people for the last 20 years. Nonetheless someone created a new standard for how many black people should be hired. Keep in mind that no persons with disabilities are employed by the city schools and there is no attempt to address this institutionalized unlawful abuse. Black Americans are about the same percentage of the population nationally and in the city as persons with disabilities. But disabled persons remain unemployed at a 70 percent rate. It shows how thorough the bigotry is in the city of Cambridge which sees itself as morally superior to others. Do they get their misguided self image from Harvard affiliates?

Oct 31, 2011
To the Honorable, the City Council:

Please find [. . .] a response to Awaiting Report Item Number 11-124, regarding a report on the racial makeup of the City's workforce.

Below is a summary of the attached reports:
Total Employees 2,424
Total People of Color 788 (32.51%) more than double the US Census PMSA goal of 15%. (PMSA Preliminary Metropolitan Statistical Area defined by U.S. Census as our applicant recruiting area. This is taken from the U.S. Census EEO-4 data tool for affirmative action planning purposes. The next release of this tool is scheduled for fall of 2012.)
Women 1,056 (43.56%)

Below is additional information on new hires from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011:
59% of all hires were people of color
46% of all hires were women
86% of all hires were Cambridge residents

Very truly yours,
Robert W. Healy, City Manager

The 2000 U. S. Census found that 12% of Cambridge residents were Black.

The 2010 U. S. Census found that 11.7% of Cambridge residents were Black.

[My comments about earlier report in Cambridge Chronicle, with story below.]

According to "the newly adopted requirement, the parity rate [for hiring people of color in Cambridge Public Schools] should be 30 percent." Are 30 percent of the population of Cambridge people of color? Who created the "newly adopted requirement?" What is the requirement for hiring persons with disabilities in the Cambridge Public Schools? Is it zero percent? Do the morally superior liberals who run the city believe that all persons with disabilities are morons? What is the problem with these allegedly fair minded people trying to equalize opportunities who refuse to allow persons with disabilities to participate in life in Cambridge? Could they be bigots, who support equal opportunities only for themselves but not for others?

[From article]
"Overall, Cambridge Public Schools employs 1,196 people throughout the district. Of those, 270 are people of color, making their racial parity rate 22.5 percent. According to the newly adopted requirement, the parity rate should be 30 percent."
