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.
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.
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.
