Same thing I said when President Trump allowed that skank, Stoney Daniel, to extort money from him to shut her big third sexual orifice up and still she didn’t shut up. The Porn Skank is the one Speedy Gonzalez should be sending to jail.

Discriminatory, illegal, wrong and unconstitutional. In addition, there have been special privileges for “minority-owned” businesses. They get priority when the government is looking to do business with a contractor. These privileges have existed for years, and are totally wrong and unfair.

"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?"
Good question! All choices are a form of discrimination.

Imagine a venture fund earmarked for White Males only.

The outcry and screams of “racist” would go all the way up and include the White House.

Discrimination is discrimination and the best way to end it is to end it.

The ruling is based on Section 1981 of the 1866 Civil Rights Act. The section was originally intended to prevent former slaves from being excluded in the making and enforcing of contracts. It is now being used to challenge programs intended to benefit minorities.

“if it’s a private company and it’s their money, why can’t they do what they want with it?”

I expect for the same reason that restaurants can’t have a sign, “Whites only”, and businesses can advertise a job that says, “Blacks need not apply”. Federal Civil Rights, I think.

The only “systemic racism” that has existed in the US for decades is against whites.

These “black business” grants are such scams. Just like Pigford.

When I lived in Texas post Katrina there were billions handed out for “black owned” businesses. The relocated Africans in America would collect massive grants and just rent some crappy empty storefront, throw a few dirty cloths on some racks, and claim it as a “NEW” businesses. They would fail in a few months when they stopped paying rent and the next would move in and repeat the scam. There was never a requirement to start a legit business or even stay in business. They just had to “start” a business and the money would flow.
