Federal judge orders minority-business agency opened to all races
The ruling sides with White plaintiffs in finding the Minority Business Development Agency’s presumption of disadvantage is unconstitutional

A federal judge in Texas has ordered a 55-year-old federal agency created to help minority-owned businesses to open its doors to all races, a ruling that potentially imperils dozens of government programs that also presume racial minorities are inherently disadvantaged.

In a 93-page opinion rendered Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Mark T. Pittman ruled that the Minority Business Development Agency’s presumption that businesses owned by Blacks, Latinos and other minorities are disadvantaged violated the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection. He permanently enjoined the agency’s business centers, which have assisted minority-owned businesses in accessing capital and government contracts, from extending services based on an applicant’s race.

“If courts mean what they say when they ascribe supreme importance to constitutional rights, the federal government may not flagrantly violate such rights with impunity. The MBDA has done so for years. Time’s up,” wrote Pittman, who was appointed to the bench by President Donald Trump in 2019.


The decision marks the latest blow to government affirmative action programs in the wake of the Supreme Court’s landmark rulings against Harvard and the University of North Carolina last June. The high court’s finding upended race-conscious college admissions and sparked a broad legal offensive against affirmative action and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in the private and public sectors. Within weeks, a federal judge in Tennessee struck down a provision of the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development program that equated race with social disadvantage as unconstitutional, forcing the agency to overhaul it


Legal experts said Tuesday’s ruling could have even more profound implications for how the government provides aid to historically disadvantaged groups

On To Positive Energy!

Halito Sixers,

It's been a minute since I have been on here but I truly missed you all. Just wanted to check to see if there is a one foot off-grid community? I am doing the minimum to maintain a presence in both worlds as I transition to off-grid living in the suburbs. I know it sound off, but I think I can mix solar and other alternative energy with less natural gas and other dependency based lifestyle choices. I was looking for more companies that are building an off-grid presence and not just selling products from overseas or non-indigenous companies. After all we(Negro) are the indigenous people of America.

Economic Unity Rant 2

To me, it seemed that Nike stepped up their marketing to black consumers right after the #boycottnike issue with Kyrie .. but I came to a revelation that I wanted to share ...

They know something. They know that, speaking of recent history, we have no economic unity, sense of obligation, or responsibility... They know that after the protests , hashtags, chatter dies down , the majority will go back to "the pimp" in 2 weeks, or less !

Sad commentary ....


From a business point of view, all businesses need to have a market ... Asians have their market .. guess who? The Jewish have their market , guess who ... Unfortunately, I think the banks realize our lack of in-house market , and that's one reason why they don't fund ...

My challenge this month, and every month ... Find your top discretionary spends (maybe, eating out, clothes, etc) , find a black owned alternative..

webuyblack.com, buyblackmainstreet.com, https://shopwithleslie.blog/ , obws.com .... EatOkra app ... Lots of alternatives out there ..
