Summary
The Trump administration removed a federal contract clause banning segregated facilities, part of an executive order repealing a 1965 nondiscrimination rule.
The change, implemented without public notice, affects agencies like Defense and Homeland Security. While segregation remains illegal under the Civil Rights Act, legal experts warn the move is symbolically significant and undermines civil rights protections.
Some speculate the provision was targeted due to Obama-era gender identity protections.
Critics say the rushed process bypassed democratic procedures, raising concerns about broader federal policy shifts.
Talk about going backwards…
The American right’s only consistent long-term goal is re-segregation.
It’s the dixiecrats, they took over the right and their only absolute demand is Jim crow back.
That’s why his first move was dissolving the dept of education, it was founded to desegregate the south after brown VS board because otherwise the doj had to sue each school and congress was protecting the schools funding.
You can’t just do shit by executive order. What is Congress just jerkin off to all the free time they have?
they’re too busy being lazy sacks of shits to care about the direction this country is going.
Soon they will be mandatory.
What better way to make America great than to force a bunch of new construction?..… /s
So… what happens now that there are more multiracial children and couples more than ever? More non-white individuals than before? The shift in acceptance has changed so much, even from the 90s.
Ugh, I am having flashbacks of when my grandma talked about the one drop rule… She told us stories of what it was like being black in the 1950s. I just can’t imagine the public letting things go back to that point, but with the insanity I’ve been seeing…
Trump looks like the orange-ish color right below the red line. That must mean he’s not okay. I agree.
It’s called an Apartheid State, and it’s been done many times to various degrees of success.
