The Neo-Whitehoods are exploiting Reconstruction-era laws originally enacted to protect Black Americans in order to dismantle those very protections. For instance, a federal appeals court panel recently ruled that The Fearless Fund, an Atlanta-based venture capital firm focused on Black women, must suspend its grant program for Black women business owners while the lawsuit against it is litigated, because it is likely to lose the suit brought by the far-right American Alliance for Equal Rights. The conservative group is led by Neo-Whitehood Ed Blum and his cohorts. He claims the grant program targeting Black women violates a section of the 1866 Civil Rights Act that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race when enforcing contracts.

I guess it’s only right if friends of politicians or the Jewish lobby get all the contracts. This new version of the KKK, The Neo-Whitehoods; Ed Blum, Chris Rufo, Kris Kobach, and Steven Miller are a bunch of racist slimeballs and the corporations that fund them should be ashamed, those organizations don’t deserve any minority monetary support. 

Blum is using a law put into place 158 years ago to protect formerly enslaved people from economic exclusion to challenge a program set up to provide opportunities for Black women and their firms that historically have faced discrimination in business and in the workplace. 

This use of a law meant to protect formerly enslaved people is an alarming assault on progress and racial equity. Blum is the same greedy racist and ultra-right activist behind the U.S. Supreme Court case last year that ended affirmative action in college admissions. The unemployment rate for Black workers is persistently higher than for white workers.

Moreover, poverty among Black children remains three times higher than among white children. Black wealth also remains a concern, with disparities in net worth and retirement savings. Homeownership rates are also lower for Black Americans.

These insights emphasize the need to continue addressing systemic inequalities and promoting economic harmony. ~Balance Due
