But it begs the question, why even do this if he knew it was still going to be illegal? Is it a "win" for his party to take steps backwards in segregation? Is it "owning the libs" if he then tried to install another "separate but equal" policy? Is segregation part of the "again" in maga? I'm genuinely curious what the explanation is from either him, you, or his cult followers
imagine your a gay black teenager in Alabama and every restaurant in your town refuses to serve you. is this what you would like the country to become? to have rights based on geography?
Discrimination based on race was illegal after the 14th amendment. Why did we need the civics rights and voting rights act almost a century later?
For some reason, many people are under the assumption that once something is codified into law, the related issues are solved. That’s literally the first and easiest step. Enforcement is always more difficult. Whittling away at the later safeguards for enforcement is how you weaken enforcement.
Like they give a fuck. The subsequent division is the aim. They want to run the country like inmates run themselves in Californian prison system. You sit with your own. You eat with your own. A little hit on the pocket to some independent businesses be damned.
They will spin it as a business being " non - woke" or anti "DEI restrooms" or being down with " protecting women" or something. Matt Walsh, Tim Pool and Dave Rubin will give it a shout out online. Alex Jones will defend it with a megaphone. Job done.
They are all for Gerrymandering, gated communities and all that anyway. You forget that one of their little golden boys was born in the country that gave us apartheid.
It's amazing to me how in denial these people are about the Irish racism that existed. They're so uneducated they don't even remember how racist their racist ancestors were
Yup. Even my Italian grandmother, a first generation immigrant who eventually ran an Italian deli where the whole family had to pitch in to make ends meet, doesn't remember any racism towards her. Maybe she got lucky with her experiences, but she also forgets how she and my grandfather used old-school discipline to raise the kids. She remembers it all through rose tinted glasses
Nice rage bait. They removed redundant language from contracts- this is still covered by law. No contractors not anybody else can have segregation in this country by law. Contracts cannot supersede law, so even if they specifically said that it was okay in contracts (they do not), it would still be banned.
Despite having worked on contracts professionally, I am not a government contract historian, so I don’t know precisely why. Possibilities include:
1) this could have been in contracts before everything was desegregated
2) this could have been there in case segregation became legal again- the contracts would still prevent it
3) it could just be a nod that somebody lobbied for inclusion.
Probably other possibilities as well, but my money is on #3
Not that i really care like that but the post is very misleading. Please re-read the article. So from my understanding this was done to combat DEI and ties into the separate facilities for the sectors of our community who may want them. i.e. transgender restrooms
Even the picture doesn’t really add up. Please correct me if i have missed anything.
So my assumption is that this administration has a focus for dismantling any DEI initiatives. They tend to roll up DEI and use it as a broad banner to remove any privileges for minorities. When you read the link provided you'll see the focus is on banning the process of providing facilities among other things to groups that may require it. Hence the link to transgender restrooms.
Why do I feel like there's information missing from this? They literally just came down on the universities for doing that. The universities were creating bullshit safe spaces which were just race segregation.
What you're missing is that nothing changes... the civil rights act is still in-place. The EO only removes the requirement for contractors to confirm they wont do something that is already illegal.
When it was first put in place, i believe it was technically legal to segregate but now that it isn't, the requirement was a useless additional bureaucratic step that has now been removed
we need to stop censoring the N word when a maga says it (or in historical images). Don't soften the choice they made. rub it in the face of anyone who thinks we aren't dealing with nazis.
This mentality never left. Black people have always known this.
People like to pretend this is ancient history. Both of my parents were adults in the 1950s. I'm 55 my older sister was born in 1965. My paternal grandparents both passed before the Civil Acts did.
Just like one of my parents is still alive, theres white people from these pictures still alive too. Changing the law didnt change their beliefs.
I had a friend growing up, his grandpa was a white person and his grandma was an African American. Their family heirloom was the whip that was used on his grandma's parents. Their grandpa was the one who ended the segregation in the family. Not far away there's people his age that believed it never should've ended.
Canadian here. What does this mean for the US? As per this Reuters article segregation remains illegal but this is seen as a very symbolic action according to civil rights attorney Ben Crump.
I think the reactions are mainly meant to stir up resentment and contempt towards the current administration.
I increasingly find that media and public personalities will take any advantage to do this, whether it is accurate or not, which i find very depressing and counterproductive.
you you want to properly foster these negative opinions, you should ignore stuff that is inaccurate and focus on the stuff that is, otherwise you just risk disengaging your audience or even having an opposite effect of driving people to support him like some kind of underdog/martyr.
I'm pretty sure I just watched a trans person kick someone out his bar for wearing a red hat, no other reason but the hat, and then Reddit backed him like it was okay. So it's not like the left hadn't already pushed for this. I mean, personally, I don't agree with this segregation bullshit, but you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Even if this is true, who cares? Why force people to interact, those who want segregation can enjoy it. And a good chance for black people show how good their culture is and make white people want to go to the all black establishments.
Quick question, do you guys feel like these laws are still needed? I think most people will agree if any business goes back to being a white only business, there will be hell to pay.
These laws are needed. Because there are people out there who are just like Trump. They may lie, cheat and string you along. They’ll find a way to turn the whole world upside down.
This was a directive that said "hey you can't segregate".
That directive and language in paperwork is gone... But the laws preventing segregation are still in effect.
It's not a good look by any stretch of the imagination.... But it's not as bad as the article title makes it
I guess it’s only ok when you have only black dorms, black graduations, black scholarships. Haven’t seen a single crybabies post when it was going on for a while
Suddenly the Y'all Qaeda jokes will ring more true as deep south towns will basically be 3rd century failed states ruled by theocratic hateful terror cells with big beards and AKs
This is just part of Republican agenda to ensure that Americans never have to look at any mention of class protection in documents—because all it does is foster division and hatred; as part of their r***rded vibes-based social theory.
Yall haven't seen the left asking for segregation the last 10 years? This also just takes dumb shit away. Yall really are fucked in the head to fall for anything.
I don't get the problem. Didn't a lot of left wing people try calling for segregation multiple times the last few years? Sounds like he didn't go far enough in that case for them. 🤷🏻
segregation might be a better idea than force feeding people to try to mesh when there’s no middle ground anymore since BLM. This movement caused more destruction than good and makes everyone apathetic and combative alone everyone ends up segregated anyway
All good for them until women only and gay only places start THRIVING lmaooo I’m aware this isn’t actually the law but just funny to think how much it’ll backfire on them if it ever made it through
And this is exactly why he’s the president this shit is fucking retarded there’s plenty of stuff to go after him for that’s not a pathetic twisted attempt to make him look like the devil the small amount of dumb people who these work on isn’t a fan of him anyway
Didn't the Dems basically worship a dude that said the only way to fight past racism is with racism today? Don't the Dems support "POC centered areas"? Black only college dorms? Racism seminars at major conglomerates that separate the employees into groups based on skin color? Didn't you guys want to make an unlikable shrew president just because she was a black woman because you didn't think there would ever be a black female candidate without skipping the primary and just installing her as the candidate? Aren't the Dems the ones that want us to bring foreign Hispanic people to do menial, low status jobs because no one else will do them? Don't the Dems believe that black and brown people need an extra push in order to succeed in school and in the job market because without them being the white knights, there would be a disparity in success and achievement?
Pretty sure we don't have to go back in time. The Dems have always been the party of racial intolerance and perceived moral superiority despite complete ethical bankruptcy, and they continue to be. It's a timeless tradition.
To be fair, a lot of people practice self segregation. Back in 2007, going through BCT we had soldiers that would set away from the white ones. A drill took note of it and called them out on it and started separating everyone by race, sex, eye color, etc to point out the hypocrisy. The drill wasn't white, either.
Let's see. Inflation through the roof, high prices for everything, we were basically the laughing stock of every nation because of his weakness with foreign policy. The war in Ukraine was "mishandled" by him because of his business dealings in United (Burisma). His staff was the worst. From his cabinet, his Whitehouse press secretary, all of them, celebrating all these trannies in school, the pronoun mafia, I mean, I can go on and on about the Biden disastrous presidency.
But the Trump, that was when America was great! You know when it was basically white people in power.
We’re in so much trouble. Everybody, if we don’t get together this summer and crash the gates with millions of people in protest I’m not sure we’re gonna get the country back, I’ll say this to you, this country will never ever be the same again, a huge shift has happened, and even though I think eventually it’ll get better, this country will never ever be the same again.
What do you mean “TRYING”?? We’re 8 years into this already. Its about time the 2nd amendment people step in. Stop staying so quiet and timid! Say what is true! These fascist thugs are terrorists and enemies of the american people and need to be put down.
The south still segregated. It’s only certain cities where you see integration. And the integrated cities is only cause of finances after work everybody still goes to there side of town.
It's likely been removed because it is only an administrative overhead for a contractor to prove. It is not a current practice in US, so not productive to prove compliance. There is also redundancy with other statues.
This is blatantly untrue. This isnt even planted with a seed of truth, this is just a flat out fucking lie. I'm not some super MAGA kinda guy, but this is just a completely fabricated headline. It doesn't even come close to resembling the truth.
You people. If anyone ever has to wonder why Democrats lost in 2024 and will definitely lose again in 2028. Just go to any political post on reditt. Yall make up some of the most astounding bullshit I've ever seen. Funny thing is, you mental cases believe it too. Just keep doind DEM things, 2028 will be easier than 2024.
At the end of the day, all presidents are puppets. Who would benefit financially from this? Who are his donors? The paper trails are like strings to the puppet. Trump won't make a huge impact domestically because he's to busy whoring for israel. Inflation will still be raised as plans for war with Iran move forward.
Honestly, I don't think it should be against the law for for a business to segregate. Think about it this way.It should be that it is a self correcting problem. A business starts to segregate, a lot of people stop going to that business. At least in theory, that's how it should work. Because if you think about it, do you really want to give your money to a business, that's secretly to is willing to be super Racist and segregate people? I would rather businesses out to themselves and then fall due to their own stupidity.
Got a link to the actual executive order so that people can read it for themselves, or are we just regurgitating political talking points and grossly exaggerated claims?
MAGA is a white supremacist movement, the reason why people still refuse to call it that is because most Americans know a family member who is a trump voter. They might call them stupid, but they hate to call their family member a bigot. A racist. A white supremacist.
The reality is that is EXACTLY what a trump voter is and now everyone is starting to realize that for real!
More rage bait on Reddit what a surprise. I’m deleting this godsforasken app, you all don’t do any research yourselves, take titles like this and run with it to fit your narrative. Grow up, Trumps not a Nazi and Biden wasn’t senile.
I think its just the removal of a law that doesn’t apply anymore. Like how it’s illegal for Horses to eat fire hydrants in Wisconsin or something like that, or how it’s illegal for people to carry pliers in your back pocket in Texas. These are just laws that had a purpose at once, but now they are just wasting time.
This is not the 60's so I doubt if shit like this follows through. If the shadow people can divide the people they can control the people. As long as everyone is mingling together, they can't control them. Divided we fall... This is a new era and all this trying to start race wars is pretty much old. You may see a few among a few idiots arguing with each other and come to blows or whatnot. It's all about control, just don't fall for it. Americans are fighting each other while the super wealthy sit back and laugh at us. It's not worth it.
