Seems President Biden is powerless to oppose the current wave of Left-Wing Klan.

It is coming from so many levels with a new vocabulary hither unknown to the average person. Reasonable when one wants to disguise Marxism.

Wall Street Journal Editorial

The Biden Administration’s effort to distribute federal benefits by race is already running into legal trouble. Two rulings last week sided with plaintiffs who sued the Small Business Administration for violating equal treatment under the law.

At issue is the SBA requirement that only applications for restaurant relief from women and racial minorities will be processed in the first 21 days, sending everyone else to the back of the line. As the courts recognized, the danger is that the SBA will run out of funds before these other applications can be considered.

A federal judge in Texas ruled that the SBA’s Restaurant Revitalization Fund was wrong to distribute $28.6 billion in Covid-19 relief on the basis of an owner’s sex and race. Plaintiffs Jason and Janice Smith’s restaurant Blessed Cajuns lost nearly $350,000 in gross revenue due to Covid-19. Eric Nyman’s restaurant lost $800,000 during the pandemic.

America First Legal, which represents them, notes they are eligible for the relief but not for the SBA’s priority-group status. Federal Judge Reed O’Connor granted a preliminary injunction on grounds the restaurateurs are “experiencing race and sex discrimination at the hand of government officials.”

The SBA justifies its bias as necessary to remedy past societal discrimination. But Judge Thapar notes that the Supreme Court has said such a remedy is only justified under narrow circumstances. It must address a specific episode of past discrimination, the past discrimination must have been intentional, and the government must have played a role in that discrimination. Judge Thapar writes that the SBA fails all three tests.

White American supremacists can get very tasteless sometimes tude. Posting this "question" on the 100th anniversary, to the day, of the Tulsa massacre, is a bit obvious.

You'll be trying to tell us there's no economic consequence to the earlier event, as far as race goes? Or that it's not representative of a century of Jim Crow? Or maybe the economic condition of today's American blacks has nothing to do with that history? Go on, write it into the thread so we can get it on record here.

The bottom third of American citizenry is "unmonied, unglamorous, its collective health and wellbeing eroded by poverty" and most American blacks live in that niche. The quote, not that it matters, is from ysterday's Guardian review of Mare of Easttown at https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radi ... ng-success . They live in a third-world country that has a huge imbalance of wealth toward rich white people.

If you, as you often say, don't recall or discuss history, your opening post reflects your inability. History has consequences.

This is a long article but there is no doubt that the democratic politics of allowing riots to go on for days, weeks, months at a time. Demonizing police, defunding police have a significant part of the violent/crime problem.

The US saw significant crime rise across major cities in 2020. And it's not letting up


(CNN)Major American cities saw a 33% increase in homicides last year as a pandemic swept across the country, millions of people joined protests against racial injustice and police brutality, and the economy collapsed under the weight of the pandemic — a crime surge that has continued into the first quarter of this year.

Sixty-three of the 66 largest police jurisdictions saw increases in at least one category of violent crimes in 2020, which include homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, according to a report produced by the Major Cities Chiefs Association. Baltimore City, Baltimore County and Raleigh, North Carolina, did not report increases in any of the violent crime categories.

It's nearly impossible to attribute any year-to-year change in violent crime statistics to any single factor, and homicides and shootings are an intensely local phenomenon that can spike for dozens of reasons. But the increase in homicide rates across the country is both historic and far-reaching, as were the pandemic and social movements that touched every part of society last year.
"The people in our communities are not desensitized to violence," said Ray Kelly, the lead community liaison for the Consent Decree Monitoring Team and the director of the Citizens Policing Project and lifelong resident of West Baltimore. "Every incidence of violence potentially destroys families, and we cannot confuse people's perseverance and willingness to survive as tolerance or complacency."

There's a 'perfect storm' of factors
