Disparate impact deserves to die.
It is generally understood that the “all men are created equal” clause means equality before the law. The Founders had no illusions that everyone was equally endowed with skills, wisdom, intelligence etc. They were worldly, educated men.
“If there were far more blacks in a position than their proportion of the population, disparate impact was never used to try to correct the issue.
Think NBA.”
Think federal government jobs.
18.2% of the federal workforce self Identifies as black. 14.4% of the general population identifies as black.
13.5% of state and local employees identify as black which is close to the % of the population.
DEI will slither into the ground and remain dormant until the communists cheat their way back into the WH...
Like exterminating termites, there has to be drilling, injection, and mass extinction...
When that happens, we can fully relax and celebrate...
Trump did not “crush it into dust.” BUT - Trump has radically shifted the “Overton Window.” Until now, spineless GOP goobers and America as a whole simply accepted the entire woke/marxist “DEI” and disparate impact narrative
“Disparate Impact” is a pillar of leftist political narrative control and government grift/skimming. They will fight it. A future Democrat President may reverse the E.O. A Democrat Congress may try to cement this “reverse racism” in some legal code, which means it will be fought in court.
But at least, Trump has enabled and organized national opposition to it, and legitimized criticism of it.
Except in sports.
I thought that had been “policy” for many, many decades.
Blacks are 11% not 17%.
That applies at pretty much every single state and federal office building.
BTTT
I see that the term “disparate impact” cannot be found in this history of DEI.

Blacks destroy themselves. They kill each other, they abort their children, and they stomp out any of their own who want to excel in whyte behaviors.
The most ‘equal’ society I can think of is the Japanese,
With the notable exception of ‘gender’ inequality.
They have a criminal class, a poor class, a worker class, a learned class, and a wealthy class.
SO, if a society of equals produces multilevel classes of people, then these race hustlers are barking up the wrong tree. There is no way the outcomes will ever be equal.
It’s a scam from the beginning.
We may all be born equal, but it goes downhill pretty quickly after that............
I see it every time I visit a VA hospital or clinic.
Yep, talk about reparations.
Trump should issue an EO mandating that all job applications, school applications, and pretty much every application stops asking applicants for their race, sex, age, or religion as well as anything that would divulge such information, such as a photo. Since these are not supposed to be to affect outcomes then they should not even be required.
a friend of mine retired from the bureau of prisons and needed help from OPM (office of personnel management) and he was put on hold or run around numerous times. he found while asking for help whenever he called them, he had to speak as a black woman and he was never again put on hold or told to call back.
OPM has very few men on staff
Trump has good advisers. They know where the problems are.
Alfred Blumrosen is the SOB who inserted Disparate Impact into the EEOC regulations back in the ‘60s. He did so knowing that it was blatantly against what Congress had voted for in the ‘64 Civil Rights act, and what Johnson had mandated in EO11286.
Trump has now repealed both. You can bet your butt that the organized Left is reeling from this: they will be in court within minutes. Maybe Chief Jester Jonny will issue another midnight emergency opinion. But it’s going to be hard to argue this one: issued by a President and baked into the CFR, it has no standing other then what a President gives it.
I don’t believe an executive order is enough to overturn Duke Power v. Griggs, but let all the countersuits start until the US Supreme Court gets it back, and cross your fingers.
