Minority Business Development Agency Gets A Thumbs Down By Federal Judge

Federal court delivers major blow to Biden’s radical equity agenda​

Here's the goal of the equity agenda: racial preferences for preferred races​

By Daniel Lennington | Fox News

The Biden administration’s so-called "equity agenda" suffered a major defeat in federal court recently. In a lawsuit challenging the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) – a new federal agency dedicated to helping only certain preferred racial groups – a federal judge ruled that the Biden administration cannot discriminate based on race.

In court, the Biden administration attorneys vigorously defended this race-based agency, claiming that this type of race discrimination was justified because it was remedying "the effects of past inequities stemming from racial prejudice." According to this narrative, Biden’s attorneys said that redlining, Jim Crow, and a "denial of benefits from the G.I. Bill," give modern-day policymakers a blank check to discriminate against Whites and other nonpreferred racial groups.

Judge Pittman was not persuaded. In ruling against the Biden administration, he explained that the Constitution forbids race discrimination, and that the government cannot justify a racial preference merely by pointing to statistical disparities. Allowing this type of justification for a race-based program would give "governments license to create a patchwork of racial preferences based on statistical generalizations about any particular field of endeavor."

I ndo agree with Chief Justice John Roberts that "divvying us up by race" is a "sordid business," but in this case an illegal one as well.

Judge Pittman is a Trump appointee, so yet another fine American.
