This snuck by me yesterday.
In case you have been living under a rock, disparate impact has long been a tool which the feds use to come in institutionalize rules that favor minorities over whites, and has been used to turn school districts into the worst sort of lord of the flies institutions you can imagine. How it worked was that the mere appearance of disparate impact on any minority by policy was de facto assumed to be racist, and draw federal investigations. I can think of two school districts that were utterly destroyed by this, Minneapolis and Orange County, FL. Blacks now run the halls in Minneapolis violently assaulting people at will, and they know they won't face any discipline because of the policies the school district had to institute at the point of Federal agent guns. Treyvon Martin was suspended from school after being caught with stolen jewelry, instead of expelled and referred to police for indictment.
It is my hope that this EO starts us on the long road to overturning Griggs vs Duke Power.
Judge will overturn.
But to someone who wants to know what disparate impact is, it’s any law or rule meant to apply to everyone, but if larger numbers of precious niggers are affected negatively, then the LAW OR RULE IS WRONG AND IS RACIST!
Hell, Trump sneezes and a judge orders it back into his nose. They are literally attempting to gain full control the executive branch now.
EZ way to put it:
Law: Don't steal from stores.
Law: Don't kill people intentionally (homicide, murder, etc)
In a sane society, people who point this out will just be shrugged; at least we're punishing the worst of them so that they dont hurt other races AND THEIR OWN.
But retard activists will cry MUH RACISM REEEEE.
I remember when the NFL was using this in those CTE/Brain damage cases. The NFL was arguing that the black players weren't as smart as the white claimants so they suffered less damage. Of course they dropped that after all the George Floyd stuff.
Man it's weird how much a guy OD'ing after committing a crime really fucked up everybody
I am positive that it's because everyone was out of work due to the COVID quarantine nonsense. You had a bunch of idle pissed off people who jumped on a "cause" to make themselves feel like they had power and control.
Eric Garner died in a similar manner in 2014 and was an infinitely more sympathetic victim (killed for selling loose cigarettes and not paying a tax on them, WTF?), yet there was nothing like the Fentanyl Floyd protests. I guess it was "right time, right place" for Floyd.
They didn't kick up a fuss in 2014 because Obama was in office and it wouldn't have helped him politically. The only reason the riots happened in 2020 was because the left was throwing everything they had at Trump.
Slate star codex/Scott alexander has a good essay on why. https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/12/17/the-toxoplasma-of-rage/
It's got nothing to do with timing, there was another death right around the same time as Garner (the Brown-Fergeson thing) which did get some protests and traction. Not quite as big as Floyd, but pretty big. But Eric didn't. Why then if not timing? It's precisely because Gardner was sympathetic and because and even those on the right would agree 'yeah that's a bit much' that his cause was mostly useless to the left. You can't signal to your insane commie ingroup how 'virtuous' you are for supporting Eric Garner, because everyone already agrees it was unfair and maybe worth protesting over, even fox news is muttering that it was too much, poor Eric. This makes it useless for its true purpose, sorting and signalling. It only gets tacked-on to the Brown case and Ferguson riots as 'another example' of police brutality to help lend it credibility, as a rhetorical attack. Same way that Breonna Taylor was used in the Floyd discussions (not that she was perfectly innocent, but that case is far muddier, more akin to Garner's)
And then along comes Floyd. Now here is a useful display of my leftist credentials. Only an true believer would look at this piece of shit and care. So he's perfect. That's why Floyd kicked off, precisely because he was scum.
Look at the incentives, and remember they are evil and seeking to signal to other sick degenerates how evil they are. That's why Brown and Floyd became big things while Garner didn't. Garner never could no matter when it happened. It had to be someone like Floyd. Yes timing will affect the magnitude of the rioting, but it can never be over a case like Garner's.
I might suggest there's a little more to that theory: The context within the local area. By the time St. Floyd ascended, there had been a few other recent and controversial deaths by police in or near Minneapolis. This coming on top of the big rise of 'black lives matter' nationally.
Jamar Clark, killed after going after ambulance workers and stealing an officer's gun when they attempted to detain him.
Philandro Castile, failed to listen to officer's instruction to stop while pulling out a gun (presumed to merely present to officer since admitting to owning with permit).
Justine Damond, tried to get attention of officers in vehicle and drew fire from Somali officer shooting past his partner to the opposite window.
This interview from Slate has an adequate overview of how things progressed.
I would add that the initial video of Floyd made it seem like Chauvin’s actions were totally egregious. People were incensed over how long he kneeled 'on' Floyd, how bystanders essentially pleaded for mercy to deaf ears. Other officers just standing by (more or less).
Against your point, there were a number of conservatives who initially sympathized with Floyd. People didn't know about the criminal history (or the fentanyl I think) until after the worst rioting. Only the fake $20 bill, which arguably shouldn't have been a death sentence
There was a string of such incidents going back decades, but the Left didn't want to hear it when a cop shot a White man in cold blood, because that didn't play into their "Cops Only Shoot N's" narrative.
They always do that. They're constantly measuring communications and responses to news events. They catalog them and reuse them later. Which is why so many elements of Floyd match Garner.
The petty crime possibly outside of local police jurisdiction. "I can't breath." The use of 'illegal holds' that turn out to be actually documented procedures.
The difference between the two was the immediate involvement of the FBI in the Floyd case, as opposed to 3 to 4 months after in the Garner case. Which was after the New York grand jury concluded that no charges should be brought against the officers. In Garner the local agents in NY wanted to empanel a federal Grand Jury but were overruled by DOJ and the case was halted.
Public school turns citizens into Manchurian Candidates. The news knows what to say to push people one direction or another. The fix for Floyd was in. Possibly before he even went to Cup Foods that day.
I guess I should thank my company who's run by a leftist forced most of our office to come in for work as "essential workers". I generally continued my normal life walking and driving around doing what I needed to do. People who couldn't think for themselves bent the knee and lost their fucking minds because of it.
Yep. I remember thinking how is one incident in Minnesota some national referendum on race. Dude could’ve easily just listened to the cops. Or not used counterfeit money
The fix was obvious when Minneapolis law enforcement completely stood down for no reason whatsoever.
Exactly. But J6 was the worst violence ever
A man can dream.
It’s good to have high hopes, but I think it’s probably a good idea to be cautiously optimistic at best these days, maybe even a little cynical just based on the patterns we’ve been seeing for the last several decades. Keep in mind, Whitey doesn’t control hardly anything in the U.S. anymore, not the schools, not the most powerful businesses or any of the major institutions; they’re all run by jews or an assortment of their muhnority pets who ALL hate Whites (especially White men). They may be looking to come at Whites with policy that only appears to be pro White, when in reality it’s opening the door to discriminate against Whites even more boldly than they ever did before. I’ll have to look into the EO you’re talking about a little deeper than what you said just to get a better idea of what it’s about. I’m just saying, a couple years ago California tried to overturn the civil rights act simply because they wanted to openly discriminate against Whites without fear of lawsuits, since they have been dealing with an influx of Whites using lawsuits and the court system to fight back against anti-White policy lately. Getting rid of things like the civil rights act isn’t about protecting Whitey’s right to choose who he wants to hire, it’s about the jews and muhnorities, who currently run most everything, legalizing anti-White policy. Maybe that’s not the goal in this particular case, but it’s not a bad idea to look a lot deeper than surface level with events like this.
I don't look at their desire to make anti-white policies concrete and overt as a bad thing. All that will do is drive people towards our side. White Identitarians are made, not taught, primarily by exposure to hostile nations.
Commie judge: "Not on my watch"
This explains why there are so many problems at some schools. A friend is a teacher in Orange County and has stories about our of control kids.
With Minneapolis School District the DoJ came down on them because black students were by far making up the vast majority of discipline cases. It never even crossed the minds of the race activists in the DoJ that the reason black students were so often in disciplinary trouble was because they earned it through their behavior.
Remember, to a progressive the root cause of every problem is systemic, not individual behavior. It is one of the ways they strip agency out of their world view. So, these wildly disparate numbers of black students being disciplined could only be because of something the school district was doing procedurally.
I guarantee that "disparate impact" laws will still exempt women from having to compete on equal footing with men due to "historical oppression".
It's still codified by the 1991 Civil Rights Act but this is a great first step.
He actually signed two EOs against disparate impact. The school one, and the second, against DI in the federal government.

City Journal gave a good explanation of the problem in schools (thanks obama): https://www.city-journal.org/article/undisciplined
This is great. But it has to be made into something stronger and long lasting, before some fuckwad future president cancels these EOs.
I have that city-journal article bookmarked in a "disparate impact" folder.
My saved bookmarks are....extensive.
Could you recommend any reading on the effects of disparate impact theory (and related ideas) on education in particular? This is one of a few topics I'm attempting to wrap my head around lately. For example, I swear I can recall one of the pedagogical architects of No Child Left Behind stating at a conference (years after the fact) that one of their goals was reducing the achievement gap between whites and minorities, even at the cost of overall lower outcomes. But can't find that one anymore.
I will check my bookmarks, but a quick search did find this:

The Obama era Dear Colleague letter that made disparate impact official policy is here:

Trump rescinded it in his first term, and I don't know what Biden did after he took over.
Damn, you weren't kidding. Thanks, I'll work though everything you have the time to post.

Note the particular school involved, and the date...
Yes, you are reading that right, the shit head that did the Parkland school shooting was on a diversionary discipline program thanks to disparate impact based school discipline policies adopted in that school district.
Read this CTH article about Broward County schools:

You know, I love the English language because it it both subject to and surprisingly resistant to Newspeak. This is also why I hate Ebonics; its purpose was subjugation rather than liberation. I knew a guy that worked at a Fortune 100 in the late 80s when HR speak was first popular (listen kids, woke ain't new); his English coworker complained "English is a perfectly fine language, why are you trying to change it?"
I like this but I can see a judge throwing this out. I like this EO and it’s much needed
YEA BABY LETS FUCKING GO!
I don't care if 'waah they gonna stop it' no fuck you this is fantastic. One less cudgel for the fucks to use.
We need to stop calling non-whites "minorities." There are twice as many blacks as whites in the world, and five times as many asians.
White people are only 7% to 12% of the population. About 90% of the world isn't white. This accounts for all whites, from Nords to Slavs to Anglos and Saxons, and all the other races. We are the minorities.
"referred to police."
lol.. in my day.. they'd lock you in a room and make the police come get you.
fuck referral they arranged the introduction.
"Black students do worse under Trump" will be the headline once the number of discipline cases go back up.
What about affirmative action?
Is racist, and should not be a thing under any circumstances.
