Team Biden is poised to hand out billions of dollars to what it misleadingly labels “socially disadvantaged” farmers, restaurateurs and other business owners hurt by the lockdowns. The money will start flowing to them in early June — provided they don’t have white skin.
Biden’s American Rescue Plan defines “socially disadvantaged” based on skin color and ancestry, not the hardships faced by an individual. Blacks, American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Hispanics and Pacific Islanders are included. One group is excluded: whites.
Fortunately, the new law’s anti-white provisions are facing a challenge in court, and the challengers are likely to win. The US Constitution forbids discrimination based on race — period.
One of the Midwestern farmers suing, Adam Faust, was born with spina bifida and has two prosthetic legs. He manages to milk 70 cows a day and grow 200 acres worth of feed crops. He’s in debt but he doesn’t qualify for forgiveness under the American Rescue Plan because of his skin color.
Last month, a Texas farmer who is the state’s agricultural commissioner also sued. Like Faust, he argued that the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause guarantees him equal treatment regardless of race.
That is a Texas café owner’s claim as well. Philip Greer’s café lost $100,000 during the shutdown. He applied to the Restaurant Revitalization Fund set up under the American Rescue Plan. The fund offers restaurateurs up to $5 million per location to cover losses. But Greer is white, and the law says for the first 21 days funds are disbursed, most white men have to go to the back of the line, behind women, veterans and “socially and economically disadvantaged” applicants.

Seems to me to be more attempts to divide our citizens and incite conflict. It is becoming clearer to me that the Commies want widespread violence so they can come to the “rescue” by locking everything down to suppress violence.
Seems highly conspiratorial in nature to me. Look for more of this kind of garbage from Slo Joe and his band of commie rats.
Relying on courts to rule on clearly written laws? The authors of this legislation knew it was unconstitutional as does any fool. They also knew they could get a favorable ruling in today’s judicial environment.
Walkin’ around money for votes
I knew sleepy joe would willingly sell out his race in order to get into power. His VP willingly put out in order to rise in political power.
