“The Obama administration is suing Dollar General and a BMW facility in South Carolina for the alleged unfair use of criminal background checks for job applicants, months after warning companies about how such screenings can discriminate against African Americas.”

In other words, it’s assumed most black applicants have felony convictions so there’s no reason to check.

What a low opinion this “Just Us” department has of the people they claim to be helping.

But if a company does that, and rejects all black applicants, then DOJ will be on 'em like a duck on a June bug. Even if they just reject more of them, without cause, than of other applicants, the EEOC will know, because they collect stats on that stuff.
