LEGAL OBSTACLES​

The Justice Department will face some obstacles in any effort to combat DEI policies. Its Civil Rights Division does not enforce federal laws banning racial discrimination in hiring and contracting against private employers, according to experts in discrimination law.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is the only federal entity empowered to sue companies over employment discrimination. The five-member EEOC is expected to have a Democratic majority until at least 2026, which could stymie some of Trump's plans

President Appoints Andrea R. Lucas EEOC Acting Chair​

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) today announced that President Donald J. Trump has named Commissioner Andrea R. Lucas Acting Chair of the EEOC. Lucas has served as an EEOC Commissioner since 2020, having been nominated by President Trump during his first term.


“I am honored to be chosen by President Trump to lead the EEOC, our nation’s premier civil rights agency enforcing federal employment antidiscrimination laws,” Lucas said. “I look forward to restoring evenhanded enforcement of employment civil rights laws for all Americans. In recent years, this agency has remained silent in the face of multiple forms of widespread, overt discrimination. Consistent with the President’s Executive Orders and priorities, my priorities will include rooting out unlawful DEI-motivated race and sex discrimination; protecting American workers from anti-American national origin discrimination; defending the biological and binary reality of sex and related rights, including women’s rights to single‑sex spaces at work; protecting workers from religious bias and harassment, including antisemitism; and remedying other areas of recent under-enforcement.”

“Our employment civil rights laws are a matter of individual rights. We must reject the twin lies of identity politics: that justice is measured by group outcomes and that civil rights exist solely to remedy harms against certain groups,” Lucas said. “I intend to dispel the notion that only the ‘right sort of’ charging party is welcome through our doors and to reinforce instead the fundamental belief enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and our civil rights laws—that all people are ‘created equal.’ I am committed to ensuring equal justice under the law and to focusing on equal opportunity, merit, and colorblind equality.”

weak ass white people. the weakest race group of people in all history. they have every fukking thing that they stole and handed down to them for centuries, and they still want to fukk up everything for us.

they know they can’t really see us on that playing field. they know they are very mediocre compared to us. so they keep changing the goalposts for their advantage to keep us at a disadvantage.
