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.
Yes. But you know how I never tell my coworkers how I doggy style my wife? The most professional way to say that is that I love my wife very much. Maybe I could say to my wife…do you want to make love tonight…at the arts section in Walmart. The thing has a name but it’s not appropriate. Race is not a scientific term. It means to describe how some people are brown or white or black and everything in between but it’s wrong in all ways and means nothing since the things it refers to are simply not speciation features. So yeah, let’s shout about doggy style in the middle of Walmart vs screaming “I love you”…see what reactions you get.
