The infrastructure bill the Senate passed Tuesday discriminates against white people at every turn.
Americans are enthusiastic about spending money on physical infrastructure — bridges, roads, broadband. But this racist bill hands out jobs and contracts and locates projects based on race, not merit. Minority businesses and neighborhoods hold the inside track. If you’re white, you’re low-priority.
The bill includes grants to install solar or wind technologies and generate jobs in areas decimated by closing coal mines or coal-fired electric plants. Here’s the catch: When contractors bid, the bill says minority-owned businesses will get selected first. Bad news for small-time white contractors in depressed areas.
The same is true for the bill’s proposals to improve traffic patterns in cities. Contractors and subcontractors get priority only if they’re owned by minorities or women. White male business owners can take a hike.
Americans should be outraged — but not surprised. After all, President Biden’s American Rescue Plan Act, passed in March, also put into place an ugly system of discrimination against whites. It offered debt relief to black farmers, but not white farmers. Another provision offered billions in aid to minority-owned and women-owned restaurants, but told struggling restaurants owners who happened to be white men that they had to go to the back of the line.
The injustice was obvious. White male farmers and restaurant owners sued, claiming the anti-white provisions are unconstitutional. So far, these challengers are winning. In every case, federal judges have halted the race-based programs in the American Rescue Plan Act until the challengers have their day in court. Politico reported last week that Biden’s Justice Department may fold without a fight on the black-farmer debt relief cases, because the law isn’t on the administration’s side.

Title is not correct. Our betters told us it was a “bipartisan” infrastructure bill. The GOP owns it all, too. Period.
In his lucid moments, resident Bidet actually believes in this stuff.
Title is correct.
Obama is clearly the Shadow President.
Gosh, I know TONS of black-owned solar and wind companies! /s
It’ll be like in our state when they handed out medical MJ contracts - blacks were installed as front men for companies who wanted to get to the front of the line and hyped their “diversity.”

19 GOP voted for it including the minority leader. Bill is fully bipartisan in nature.
Maybe we need advocacy groups? You know like the Black or Hispanic Caucuses? or the literally hundreds of other non-white political or lobbying group that work specifically against whites?
By minorities, they mean Republican contractors, right?
We could form the National Association of White People!
They are sure trying to make it so. I don’t think they will ultimately succeed.
Well, more than likely we’ll squeeze around this. A buddy of mine already has me working on setting up a new business with a hispanic female as majority owner, but with us as the real people actually running and operating the thing.
I imagine a lot of people will be doing the same. At least, I HOPE so. Nothing spells disaster like having a bunch of underqualified diversity picks building your bridges and tunnels.
As a former Fed Gov contractor, this SYSTEMIC RACISM can (and will be) gamed soooo easily! Every bid to a “set aside” is like structuring a brand new company division and you legally create the necessary ownership structure within that LLC. I’ve never met a state or fed procurement officer who had any real world biz experience outside their little gov fiefdoms.
Whites, due to being intrinsically evil subhuman monsters, are prevented from forming White-specific advocacy groups.
