Most Americans naively believe that the 14th Amendment precludes our governments from discriminating on the basis of race. Sadly, that isn’t how the courts see it. Nevertheless, race discrimination is at least sometimes illegal, as a panel of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals held yesterday.
The case relates to Joe Biden’s Restaurant Revitalization Fund, the terms of which are discriminatory. Hans Bader has the story:
On Thursday, a federal appeals court issued an injunction against prioritizing COVID relief to restaurants based on their owners’ race and sex, finding that was unconstitutionally discriminatory. The ruling involved the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, a $28.6 billion program in the COVID relief law President Biden signed in March. The law requires the Small Business Administration to give priority to restaurants owned by certain minorities and women, while bumping white males and other minorities to the back of the line, for funds that will soon run out.
It is remarkable that anyone would consider such a scheme to be legal, but I think it is even more remarkable that the Democratic Congress would pass it. How can discriminating against a large majority of Americans be good politics?
The court’s majority opinion issued by Judges Amul Thapar and Alan Norris said that “This case is about whether the government can allocate limited coronavirus relief funds based on the race and sex of the applicants. We hold that it cannot…Since the government failed to justify its discriminatory policy, the plaintiffs will win on the merits of their constitutional claim.”

Apparently you can discriminate against whites all you want. Other than that, I think it’s pretty much illegal to discriminate on account of race.
Not when Democrats or minorities do the discriminating. Duh!
UH OH, Everybody is going to have to be treated equally.
Geeze. Maybe we should ask Lori Lightfoot.
Who was it, maybe Martin Luther Biden who said you can judge people by the color of their skin?
Only if you’re a so-called “white”
this isn't news
They calculate that they can combine the votes of bitter, vindictive, paranoid, opportunistic minorities with the votes of spoiled, ignorant, self-hating, guilt-ridden white women.
It's a winning strategy, to be sure.
Affirmative Action
Been that way for a while now. It’s just going in the other direction now. Instead of trying to lift one group up, which wasn’t working, they’ll now try and knock the other group down.
When it comes to college admissions you can also discriminate against Asian-Americans, but the media does its best to keep that quiet.
Yes unless you are discriminating against whites.
Then it is not only legal, but encouraged and often required.
Are horses, greyhounds and automobiles discriminated against on the basis of race?
.....and poll workers....and tabulating machines....
they still will find ways to discriminate against whites and asians.
the paperwork will be lost, or put behind others that are for blacks and women
govtard workers will do this if they want to and not be punished
its like work slowdowns, unofficial policies in practice
If its against wypipo, it is encouraged, yet world migration continues to be virtually unidirectional away from non wypipo countries
Note that much of this article came from:
If that’s not okay, would this have been okay?
You people just don't get it.
Here's the content of the sign in that now-famous image that has rapidly spread all across the global interwebs and that I hear is even displayed on some corporate websites: "We Said: Black Lives Matter. We Never Said: Only Black Lives Matter. We Know: All Lives Matter. We Just Need *Your Help* With #BlackLivesMatter For Black Lives are in DANGER!"
So, you people need to step back for a second, just use a little common sense, and think about it. Even LeBron James recently tweeted:
So as you can clearly see from King LeBron's tweet, all black people in the United States are continuously and "literally hunted EVERYDAY/EVERYTIME" they "step foot" outside their front doors. (By the process of elimination, you realize that non-black people are the ones constantly "hunting" black people as soon as they step out their front door.) Thus, the obvious conclusion is the sign in that image is totally 100% right -- "Black Lives are in DANGER!"
So will all you non-black people in the U.S. stop "literally hunting" black people as soon as they step outside their front door each and every morning, 24/7/365? Thank you!
