A federal judge in Texas has ruled that the U.S. Minority Business Development Agency, founded during the Nixon administration, must avail itself to disadvantaged entrepreneurs of all races and ethnicities, including whites.
The summary judgment rendered on Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman, appointed in 2019 by then-President Donald Trump, was the latest in a recent series of federal court decisions rolling back decades of affirmative action programs aimed at remedying racial discrimination.
Pittman, a judge in the Forth Worth branch of the Northern Texas District, sided with two white businessmen who sued the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), a branch of the Commerce Department, last year after being denied benefits on the basis of race.
The plaintiffs were told they were ineligible for agency assistance because they were not members of any of the races or ethnicities included on a list of qualified minorities presumed to be disadvantaged and thus entitled to services, according to the judge’s summary of the case.
White men whining.
Maybe “racism is bad” shouldn’t be a hot take.
Ok, what’s the next step?
Provide unprecedented aid and create social programs that aid the working class and that would create the strongest and most generous welfare state on earth, stronger than even that which exists in Scandinavia
Which is what we must demand the Democrats support

No you aren’t. You’re 56% of your age group.

Don’t whine about such things if you don’t check them first.

There is far less sex happening today compared to recent decades. Which is a symptom of the broader loneliness epidemic
Just because people aren’t having sex with you doesn’t mean they’re not having sex.

I reported you for personal attacks. But maybe next time you could at least ensure you weren’t completely wrong before you insult someone
It’s exactly this lack of humor that’s causing the no sex issue.
You not being funny has no bearing on society
People who are having sex don’t treat a stranger saying they aren’t having sex as a personal attack. Or well adjusted people who aren’t having sex and (correctly) don’t consider it a personal deficiency.
It was a joke, but by this reaction I’m getting a waft of incel bitterness, and surprise surprise, a long thread arguing about how it’s bigotry for women to be warry around men in a post about incels. So it’s not a surprise you’re here complaining about how non-white people could get benefits unavailable to white people. These grievances tend to show up together.
