Whoa: President Trump Signs Executive Order Ending the "Disparate Impact" Doctrine

This is huge.

The left is always attempting to "prove" racial discrimination without actually having to prove any racial discrimination. You will have of course noticed leftists side-stepping questions about proof of actual "white supremacy" in America, insisting that it is structurally white supremacist.

Where is the actual white supremacy they always claim lurks around every corner? They don't have to prove it. It's just "in the air we breathe."

There's so much white supremacy in America that it's impossible actually point to any white supremacy.

Where's the white supremacy? You're soaking in it, Bigots!

A very similar legal doctrine has claimed that you don't have to prove a law or company's policy was enacted to racially discriminate against anyone. All you have to do is prove that the measure has "disparate impact" on a "historically marginalized community."

So, for example, if blacks have lower high school graduation rates than whites, you're not allowed to require a high school diploma in hiring. You just say "this has a disparate impact on black applicants." You don't have to prove the company intended any discrimination. Intent is not an element of the crime, as they say. If it has "disparate impact" on a minority, you're guilty, period.

But now Trump signed an executive order forbidding the government from "disparate impact" analysis. Meaning the government can only attack policies as racist if there is an actual, provable racist intent.

Wokal Distance
@wokal_distance

This is the most important executive order Trump has signed thus far.
Ending "disparate impact liability" is the first step to destroying the DEI ideology that the left installed in Government.

Disparate impact in the United States refers to practices refer to rules that adversely affect one group of people more than another, even if the rules applied are neutral.
This means disparities in outcome at the group level can be taken as evidence of discrimination...
This means even if the rules are neutral and applied fairly to everyone, if a group is underrepresented that group can potentially sue for discrimination.
This is the anchor at the core of civil rights law that allows woke activists to engage in legal warfare.

Because disparities are taken as evidence of discrimination, it opens up companies to discrimination if any rule they have is thought to have a "disparate impact."
For example, if the rule is overtime is done on sundays, Christians can sue because they don't work sundays...
And can't get overtime, and will earn less than their counterparts.
To avoid disparate impact liability, companies do DEI training and hire DEI officers so they can deminstrate a commitment to non-discrimination, and thus sheild themselves from accusations of discrimination.
The result of this is that inorder to avoid getting sued for civil right violations you have to either:
1. Hand out opportunities to such that each group gets opportunities in exact proportion to their numbers in society.
2. Do constant DEI training/cunsulting.
Regardless if which you do, you end up feeding the beast of DEI.
If you do option 1 you are in effect doing affirmative action, if you do option 2 you end up handing large sums of money to DEI grifters and activists...
The case that enshrined disparate impact into law was Griggs v. Duke Power Co.
The court said a neutral employment policy that disproportionately impacts a particular group may be unlawful even if the employer did not intend to discriminate against that particular group...
Disparate-impact is not actually enshrined in the civil rights act, it's a product of a court ruling, and this executive order shows the Trump administration is seeking to have the doctrine of disparate-impact liability overturned.
If that happened it would be a HUGE victory.
The entire industry of DEI exists because companies use DEI as a way to shield themselves from disparate-impact liability. By doing DEI they hope to show they are actively not discriminating.
That's why DEI training is now corporate best practice.
If disparate-impact is overturned the corporate and business justification for DEI trainjng and DEI officers evaporates.
This is a VERY big deal.
Now, it isn't the end of the road yet. Griggs v. Duke Power Co. still needs to be overturned at the Supreme Court. But...
This executive order shows where the Trump administration is headed on this issue, and if they challenege doctrine in court and win then it would be a knife through the heart of the DEI industry, and a huge blow to the woke-industrial-complex.

126 ...the Judicial Branch is about to make itself irrelevant.

To my way of thinking they did that years ago.
We are all supposed to be equal under the law.
Instead we have this very wrong idea that whitey should suffer unfair discrimination because. No reason, just because. I thought equal meant the same. Not the same with exceptions. All this shows how stupid the government thinks white people are. Well we are not stupid, we see what's going on. And by the way, f"ck them.

127 It was determined that "don't drive while black" (or whatever the meme was) was applied when they found blacks got more speeding tickets.

Video Evidence showed blacks did more speeding, hence, more tickets. But the meme continued.

Blacks also murder more, but disparate impact demands "either let black murderers go free, or convict more innocent whites". And the leftist AGs (Holder) praised and enforced this outcome.

No, but the only two Justices worth a damn are men, and there's never been a good female Justice.

Look, I don't consider myself sexist, but it's a pretty simple heuristic that a woman in a position of authority is going to be overly-swayed by emotion. Women are more empathetic. That's not a bad thing, it's an essential thing for a society.

Can some women be hard-nosed and say "Tough Shit" to a sob-story? Sure. But it's less likely.

Further, a truly conservative SCOTUS Justice has to be a brawler. They're going to be attacked. They have to enjoy the fight, and draw confidence from the insults thrown at them. Clarence Thomas is that kind of person, but few men and fewer women are.

143 Today alone, federal judges shut down Trump’s EO on DEI, said another illegal immigrant must be returned and a few moments ago halted his EO on election integrity.

These are judges who are not elected and have zero power according to our constitution. They are a fifth column within our own government.

I have zero doubt they will shut this down too. Because nobody is stopping them. They are only being encouraged by the lack of action and by SCOTUS lack of sagacity and outright lawlessness.

DOW (or other parallel indexes) may still be way inflated. What if the "Correct P/E" is 6, instead of 25? The masses are trained to put a percent of their paycheck into The Magic Market, and they will forever get 15% instead of 7% in safer investments.

That "passive investment" has propped up the Magnificent Seven which keep going up ... Because They Are Going Up. Google Archipelago explains part of it, and maybe in the end, Taco Bell wins the corporate wars (some old Sylvester movie reference).

But market games may face a real life correction soon, hopefully. Not sure how that all shakes out, as our government is very concerned about "Markets" saving the day for their debts.

Posted by: illiniwek at April 24, 2025 06:19 PM (Cus5s)

The problem is, if the markets "correct", things really go sideways.

Equities make me nervous. Obviously there's no connection to underlying business reality. It's nuts.

OTOH, I often think that it's not so much that equities are overvalued, as USDs are just rapidly depreciating. A high forward P/E might make sense if you consider that a dollar will be worth 40% less in three years.

In some ways, I think the out-of-control Mag7 have become the #1 inflation hedge. Because that's where a lot of excess cash is dumped, because it provides the highest return.

'About all Trump can do is ignore the judges.'

He can go on all media outlets, read the relevant sections of the constitution. And then say that he's ignoring the judges, not because he doesn't like their rulings but because they have no authority to rule at all.

You know. Explain what he's doing and why he's doing it.

Well, then they disguised their true judicial leanings .I expect some of the men do the same things- disguise their true views The Supreme Court would certainly not be better they all had the judicial leanings of Roberts However if people want to say that NO women ever belong on the Supreme Court that's fine, but maybe some folks could stop calling them vaginas since -as you know- they don't sign legal briefs with their vaginas.

Now, I intend to end this point and go do something else.

Some. But not even that can justify it. We have companies with retail grocery profit margins trading at 100+ multiples and, worse, companies with no profits at all and no path to get there.

Equities are completely disconnected from reality. It's a bubble.

I thought corporations that had real stuff and made real things might be the safe hedge ... but I was not smart enough to "risk it" on CAT or others that skyrocketed, back in the day.

I don't see why the Mag7 would be a hedge though ... the riches made there might seek safety, like US treasuries, or gold (or blah, Bitcoin).

I'm OK or better, but playing it safe I still dream of what might have been if I just "went with the flow". heh.
