Today the Supreme Court ruled that white firefighters in New Haven, Conn., were unfairly denied promotions because of their race. The city threw out a promotion exam because no blacks and only two Hispanic firefighters were to be promoted based on the results. The city did it to avoid a lawsuit from the blacks. This shows the importance of activism. White people need to file many more law suits to win back our rights. Companies and government organizations should be equally concerned about being sued by whites as they are of blacks.

This reverses a decision that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor made as an appeals court judge. If she is approved for the Supreme Court it will make a big difference because the Courts decision was 5-4. Similar cases in the future could go the other way because of one more bad judge.
