“Systemic racism” is a meaningless term. They just toss out the phrase to justify any proposal that supports a Socialist utopia.
How about firing all of the white people?
This reminds me of the practice, in the 80’s, of home loans to people who didn’t have adequate income or credit because Clinton forced them to do it.
It led to the housing market crash, IIRC. “The Big Short.”
I sure hope so. I want to be paid as much as NFL, NBA and Oprah.
They can introduce all the bills they want but they have little chance of passing and no chance of Trump signing.
Virtually every policy choice in the United States is already bent towards closing racial and gender gaps. I can think of one major exception, that being the policy choice to keep low income kids trapped in dysfunctional public schools. But I don't think vouchering the schools is what the commissar has in mind.
IDIOTS, not all have equal skills or intelligence!

These morons continue to see race as a qualification for everyhing.
You get a job, by being the best at what you do.
You buy a house by being good at your job.
You are extended credit, by being financially responsible, and having a track record of said responsibility.
Race has not one thing to do with any of this. It’s a big scam to redistribute wealth. Nothing more.
The only people discriminated against are white male conservatives.
I would vote to anything sponsored by these creatures. I would not have to read it to know it would be bad.
And the genie asked just how many lanes did you want on that bridge to Africa?
The Fed’s broad-based macro-economic tools, and the broad-based macro-economic way it attempts to interfere in the economy, cannot direct such policies, even if it was a good idea, which it isn’t.
Didn’t they do that with affirmative action, which years later was deemed to be discriminatory?
If the “racially deprived” choose to improve themselves they will close the employment and wage gaps all by themselves.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponents Argument
How could the country possibly have survived without the 17th Amendment? /sarc
With all due respect to patriot voters, the referenced senators probably dont know the federal governments constitutionally limits powers any better than the voters who elected them probably do.
More specifically, these misguided Democratic senators, and likewise misguided Rep. Waters, unsurprisingly dont seem to understand that the only express constitutional power that the states have given Congress to deal with race-related issues is limited to resolving voting rights problems, evidenced by the 15th Amendment.
"15th Amendment:
Section 1: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.Section 2: The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added].
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
Also consider that, regardless what FDRs state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices wanted everybody to think about the scope of Congresss Commerce Clause powers (1.8.1) when they wrongly decided Wickard v. Filburn in Congresss favor imo, it remains that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had emphasized the already reasonably clear meaning of the Commerce Clause, that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." -Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
The ultimate cost of this bill by desperate Democrats trying to stay in power would be another unthinking, unconstitutional expansion of the already unconstitutionally big federal government's powers.
Patriots, we need to work with our state lawmakers in supporting PDJT to lead the states to repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.
The first step in this process would be to send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
I thought the federal government had no control over ‘the Fed’?!
