Discrimination is either illegal or it is not; you cannot pick and choose.

Special treatment based on skin color and sex is actually discriminatory.

I’m a bit confused, if it’s a private company and it’s their money, why can’t they do what they want with it?

“These judges bought what a small group of white men were selling.”


Well, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed by a Congress primarily composed of white men and signed into law by a white man...

Disagree.

Discrimination via GOVT == no no
By the Individual == perfectly acceptable/legal (where {X} wishes to eat/shop+, for reason {Y}).

“Diversity” is nothing more than discrimination against whites and men -as this case shows.

Next up - Federal hiring preferences. +5 for minority and +5 for female is effectively -10 for white males.

A venture capital fund dare not discriminate. That’s the realm of government to do that.

Perhaps at issue is that the Fearless Fund is a tax-deductible 501(c)3 and doing discrimination? I dunno if that's part of the legality on their discrimination being ruled illegal.
