Trump removes ban on racially segregated facilities for Federal contacts

Anonymous
Integrated facilities are DEI. What did you think the "I" stood for?

Really? Just like the Voting Rights Act? Oh, wait….!

Diversity is ALL of us. We’re ALL something.
So this ‘diversity is bad’ And, by definition it refers to people not Caucasian or male (so it seems), is really misguided and of course a lot more than that.

No white kid is blocked from going to college. No college other than a HBCU is not majority white. Very few people of color are at the top of any organization that wasn't founded and funded by people of color.

You are being lied to (or you are the liar spreading disinformation). Affirmative action isn't what you thought it was.

There are no longer any parties.

Trump/Musk are kings with their sycophant court and it is over in terms of elections they are here to stay.

Why though? What's the point? Answer: much weaker enforcement.

Ask the dcurbanmoms. How easy is it for your well-rounded smart white Christian kid to get into an Ivy these days? Pretty easy, is it? No change from when your generation applied?

How has corporate America been for white men over the past four years? Pretty fun? Easy to get hired? Lots of merit-based promotions?

Please say more about that! “Block” in what way? Are you assuming that the man who didn’t get promoted or the kid who didn’t get into college some how earned or deserved it more than those who did? Let’s hear about the data and actual documented practices— instead of vague grievances and resentments.



Um, yes. Affirmative action gives less qualified candidates a leg up if they are members of favored ethnic groups. Which means that more qualified candidates can be blocked if they are members of a disfavored ethnic group. That’s what it is and how it works. But I see that YOU are a member of the most special group of all-the wokerati. The latest version is that we have to do the affirmative action AND pretend that we didn’t actually do it!

Oh so pretty much the same as is it for everyone else, moron.

I just feel SO bad for people of color right now. I’m an ally, I support BLM, and I don’t want them to hate me because I’m the same color as Trump (white, not orange). I don’t understand why he can be so cruel. Or why so many voters are motivated by racism and hate for skin color.

I'm sure you mean well with this. But if you care to understand why Trump actually did better with ethnic and racial minorities in 2024 than he has in the past, it might be worth reading on.

I'm extremely liberal, so I'm not saying this as a Trump voter. But I do understand why non-white people overlooked Trump's racism to vote for him. You are white, I presume, and you are talking about how bad you feel for people of color. How bad do you feel for yourself or your kids that you might have to live in a society that segregates on something arbitrary? In a society that would deprive you of getting to know people like me?

Many non-whites vote for Trump not becuase they don't see his racism. They vote for him because they see that everyone is racist, and so they are trying to maximize their opportunity in that context.

Sure it does. Go look at the screening questionnaire for the air traffic controllers. You got more points if you played multiple high school sports. WTF?

And yet, in spte of yoru garbage source (Seriously..the DM? They actually used the phrase "race reformers." puke), air travel has been incredibly safe in the US for decades. So take a seat with your "they are not qualified."

No, it doesn’t do that at all — which is why you provided verbal diarrhea instead of data.
