The left’s secret weapon is called ‘disparate impact.’ Trump just crushed it into dust…
Revolver News ^ | April 24, 2025 | Staff

Posted on 04/24/2025 9:37:19 AM PDT by Red Badger

President Trump just made one of the biggest moves yet to destroy the left’s most powerful weapon—and hardly anyone is talking about it. It didn’t even make a blip on the media’s radar.

With one blistering executive order, Trump took a sledgehammer to the very foundation of the DEI movement. That’s right—47 just gutted the so-called “legal theory” that’s been used for decades to punish businesses, control hiring, and force unfair racial quotas under the phony guise of “civil rights.” This was the left’s top-secret weapon—and it was called “disparate impact”—and until now, it’s been holding America back from greatness.

But let’s back up for a minute.

As Revolver has been pointing out for years—through every lens imaginable—DEI isn’t about fairness or progress. It’s a political weapon. Beneath its feel-good label, it’s anti-American and anti-white racism. DEI doesn’t reward excellence; it penalizes it. It doesn’t elevate people; it lowers standards. And rather than uniting the country, it fractures us—by race, gender, and identity—reducing every American to a checkbox.

We recently covered a disturbing story about an FAA supervisor who gave DEI candidates the answers to an air traffic control test. They couldn’t pass on merit, so he helped them cheat. If you’re looking for the perfect definition of DEI in action—this is it: lowering the bar and calling it “progress.”

Revolver:

DEI is slowly but surely destroying this country. It’s gotten so bad—so deeply entrenched in every system—that President Trump has made eradicating it a cornerstone of his administration. And not a moment too soon.

Just look at this latest bombshell, courtesy of a Daily Mail exclusive. They got their hands on a voicemail from a DEI activist and FAA supervisor who, according to their report, handed out critical answers to an air traffic control exam—to a select group of minority candidates.

No wonder the once “friendly skies” have turned so deadly…

Unlimited L’s:

DEI activist allegedly caught sharing air traffic controller exam answers with minority candidates in leaked audio obtained by the Daily Mail

Shelton Snow, a prominent figure in the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE), was caught in a shocking audio clip promising advance access to test answers

‘There are some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of and I am going to send that to you via email,’ says Snow

‘I am about 99.99 percent sure that it is exactly how you need to answer each question.’

The inside information was offered in 2014 to African Americans, females, and other minority candidates, while Whites were excluded to “minimize competition.”

It remains unknown how many candidates benefited from Snow’s offer to secure coveted air traffic controller jobs

Snow stated, “We can give you advance access to test answers,” as reported by DailyMail

But one former NBCFAE member, Matthew Douglas, told DailyMail: ‘I know several people who cheated and I know several people who are controlling planes as we speak.’

As you can see, DEI has turned hiring into a massive charity scheme. It’s put merit behind skin color. It’s made corporate America obsessed with optics, not output. But it’s not just companies getting hosed. It’s poisoned our military, our schools, our government, and every major institution with race-obsessed politics. And at the core of this entire plot is a legal theory many people don’t know about: disparate impact.

So what exactly is disparate impact?

Disparate impact basically says this: if you have a hiring policy, school policy, or business practice that treats everyone the same, you’re guilty of “discrimination.” Even if there was no intent to discriminate and everyone had equal opportunity, the government could come in and accuse you of bias. That’s how the left pushed DEI so deep into our systems. They didn’t have to prove racism. They just had to show some uneven results. It gave them complete control over hiring, and companies and institutions bent the knee.

And now? Trump just shut it all down.

President Trump signed an executive order that removed disparate impact from the federal government. He pulled the plug on agencies enforcing it and even asked the DOJ and other departments to root it out—everywhere it exists.

Now, employers can go back to hiring based on excellence, skill, and merit again. You don’t have to tiptoe around these dangerous and anti-American DEI quotas just to avoid getting sued. Trump’s big, bold move is the government officially stepping out of the race micromanagement business.

What’s really strange is how the propaganda media is barely even touching the story. This was a massive blow to the heart of DEI—and they just can’t bring themselves to take the “L.”

Look:

Here’s a close-up of the images:

This is a massive, game-changing move. Quiet. Strategic. But totally devastating to the DEI empire. It’s the kind of action that shows how deeply President Trump understands what’s been done to this country. He’s not just talking about draining the swamp—he’s going after the hidden pipelines that feed it.

President Trump knows the truth: America has been deliberately weakened from the inside out. We’ve been flooded with Marxist ideology disguised as equity, and our greatness has been replaced with charity and mediocrity—all to satisfy the left’s obsession with race and identity. But thankfully, that era is ending. This executive order is the beginning of a serious rollback of the very policies that made DEI possible. Trump is cutting off the supply chain, and the media is too shellshocked to cover it—they know just how powerful this move really is.

I was in HR when that term came out. I hated it, and practically ignored it best I could.

Federal hiring has been a jobs program for blacks, women and other minorities for decades. The more prestigious the agency and the higher paid and more secure the job, the more effort was made to hire DEI candidates over more qualified and capable white men. It was an article of faith that by doing so, performance would be improved,and the mantra that “Diverse teams perform better!” was cited and revered as holy writ. The exact opposite was and is true. Federal bureaucratic dysfunction and organizational ineptitude are endemic and DEI is why. But the main reason for the DEI push was to open well paid federal jobs to minority workers who otherwise could not competitively earn them.

The passage actually says, '"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.'

This refers to God-given rights with which all of us are endowed. All men being created equal in this regard does not mean that they are all equal in every way.

Amen!!!

“Disparate impact” is just a code phrase that really means “quotas for this week’s favored minority over evil whites (and especially white males).”

The simple fact is that an objective standard, applied equally to every single applicant for a job or admission to a school, is just that: objective. The entire reason for standards is that not everybody can be accepted for the position in question, and the employer or school has to find a way to determine the best qualified candidate(s) for that position. People fail to meet standards all the time, and that should be a clarion call to them to try harder the next time around. Get in better shape or get smarter or both, as the case may be. In other words, work hard harder so that you actually deserve the position for which you are applying. It should not be the subject of a lawsuit or to get some kind of special treatment codified, both of which are simply a means of discriminating in favor of particular minorities that are favored at that moment in time, and against everyone else. The entire basis of the civil rights movement was that every single person should be treated equally in the eyes of the law to every other person, not that there should be special carve outs for minorities who suffered in the past.

Some radical Obama or Biden judge to place a restraining order on Trump for this action in 3…2…1….

“Now we need to work on the other side of the problem: northern big city school systems soaking up seemingly limitless amounts of money while producing illiterates.”

I agree with you that big city school systems are soaking up seemingly limitless amounts of money while producing illiterates.

But it’s not just a Yankee problem. Houston and Dallas schools are completely worthless and suck up all the money in the state thanks to Robin Hood.

With the amount of money that is sucked from Midland County alone and shipped to these cesspools, we could hire every single student in Midland County their own teacher.

We had to go to an IRS field office once and there was not a white person anywhere in the building...............

Of course not. The strategy is simple: first you convince all of the non-white people to hate white people and blame them for everything, then you fill all of the institutions with these same non-white people using affirmative action and other DEI policies. The natural result will be oppression of the white population, or at least the willingness to engage in oppressive policies against the majority white population if requested.

If you want to foment a hostile takeover of a country, this is a great tool.

DEI hiring in the IRS is probably a great thing for this country. If only we could every lazy, incompetent loser there.

I'm not sure you've thought this through. Remember those masses of weapons and ammo that the IRS bought during the Obama regime? The byzantine IRS code already gives these guys an excuse to make everyone in the country a criminal. When the agents come to "enforce" this code, imagine trying to explain to some lazy, hostile, low-IQ person why his/her/its calculations are incorrect.

The founders forgot to add that small print.

It’s a feel good lie that is only enabling and giving cover to the “social justice” looters to plunder and dumb down our society.

It would have been much better to leave it off, but then it wouldn’t have sounded so grandious.

I think the people of the time understood fully, and the founders didn’t imagine that many of us would become so relatively illiterate in the 20th century.

If you're claiming "disparate impact", it's probably because you are measuring the wrong metric to explain the disparity. A simple example would be the percentage of medical doctors in the population. If you insist that the percentage should be equal to the percentage of a specific racial group, you will find a disparity. If you measure by the IQ necessary to complete all the training, the numbers match much better. A similar disparity appears in successful full marathon runners. The Kenyans routinely outperform everyone else.

Removing the disingenuous use of "disparate impact" is an important step toward restoring merit over the stupidity that has reigned for many years.

“”We had to go to an IRS field office once and there was not a white person anywhere in the building...............””

It’s nothing new. Back in 1995, a Hispanic friend of mine went to the SBA to get a loan to start a new business. When I asked him how it went he said it didn’t. When I asked him why, he pointed to his arm and said “not quite dark enough”. The office was run by all blacks. And they didn’t like Hispanics. This racist bias by gov goons has been ongoing for decades.

We could not get our problem taken care of at that office so we had to drive a hundred+ miles to another IRS office and it was exactly the same..................

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.

How does that help Daquan?
