I can tell you what the white boy's real problem is, but it would not be in good taste; particularly in this venue.

When you state "Blacks and women were less likely to own businesses or be in management positions to hire staff," I humbly submit that you can change the fourth word in that sentence to "are." Hell, you could really stretch out and add: "and for the foreseeable future will be, as they have been in the past."

When you state "Thus, white men doing hiring had a built-in bias (sometimes unconscious) to hire other white men," I humbly submit that you change the sixth word of that sentence to "have." And, ad nauseam, you could really stretch out and add: "and for the foreseeable future will be, as they have been in the past."

I am already seeing, hearing and experiencing the green lighting that Drumpf represents to white supremacy and it is vehemently and specifically Anti-Black more than it is the other things. The cops are vibing on it. The courts are vibing on it. The banks are vibing on it. The M.F.'ing grocery stores are vibing on it. Notice I stated "white supremacy" which is beyond "white people."

Vibe on it, brother.

Nice work, as usual, Mr. Hartmann.

It might boomerang.

When a plaintiff/complainant wins a discrimination case, a legal remedy is supposed to make them "whole." Like I proably said elsewhyere, people still keep their Consitutional rights, and an unconstitutioal exexutive order doesn't immunize the perpetrator.

I think that where a pattern of discrimination is established, remedies like affirmative action will remain available.
