For decades the Left has used the insane theory of "Disparate impact" to cripple the U.S.

One of the Democrats' most successful tools for taking over all government power has been to claim any policy that has a "disparate racial impact" violates the Civil Rights Act, thus is illegal and must end.

For young Americans (and older who get their "newz" from the Lying Mainstream Media) who are seeing the term "disparate impact" for the first time, it means any policy that results in fewer racial minorities being hired, or more being convicted of crimes.

Let's say blacks are 13% of the U.S. population, but 30% of prison inmates.  Democrats scream that this absolutely PROVES the legal system is unfair to blacks, cuz in a fair system the percentage of inmates of each race would closely match that race's percentage of the total population, eh?

Even a moment's thought will show the utter illogic of this reasoning: that judge's RULING--never overturned by the Supreme Court--tacitly assumes all people study equally hard, make equally good decisions and commit crimes at the same rate.

All those assumptions are utter horseshit.  Many blacks openly sneer at studying in school, calling it "trynabee white."  Many black supremacists believe blacks have the right to steal, as long as it's from whites.  It jus' beez "reparashuns," eh?  

This is the same group that wailed "Maff beez raaaacis'!"  (Seriously: members of the Seattle school board claimed that as a reason why minority students shouldn't be required to be proficient in math.  You can't believe so-called "educators" would bleat that...but they did.)    

This insane illogic is also to blame for the tens of thousands of lawsuits brought by women claiming "sex discrimination" by companies for not hiring exactly equal numbers of female executives.  This kind of "reasoning" has spawned an entire industry of law firms specializing in "employment law," using the gruberment's EEOC [young Americans: look it up.  It's a thing, and you and your parents are paying for it] to sue companies for any claimed shortfall in the numbers of women or blacks or hispanics or "Pacific islanders" hired as vice-presidents or CEO.  

Any difference in outcomes hasl been ruled illegal by the leftist-dominated courts.  Of course the leftist judges have larded their opinions (DECREES) with putative loopholes: "Unless defendants can show a non-sex-based reason for requiring X."  But the same leftist judges never allow the reason to stand.

Example: 20 years ago attorneys for a female employee working on the production line of a tire maker asked the EEOC to sue her employer for not promoting her to a higher-paid position doing something special with tires.  The company defended its decision by citing a medical paper saying one of the chemicals used in that process was suspected of causing birth defects.

It was the perfect no-win situation for the company: If they'd given her the promotion to the higher-paid-but-dangerous-to-pregnancy job, and she'd gotten pregnant, the company would have been liable for tens of millions of dollars in damages to her child.  No way the company could win. 

So back to race: The overwhelming majority of illegal drug sellers in big Democrat-ruled cities are black.  So no one should be surprised that far more blacks than whites are charged with selling illegal drugs, eh?  Dem judges: "Dat beez 'disparate racial impact!' Yew cain't arrest mo' blacks den whites fo' sellin' illegal drugs!"

Ahh.  Despite the fact that illegal drug sales are 99% black, eh?

Result: Democrrat mayors and their totally Democrat-ruled city councils order the cops to stop arresting sellers of illegal drugs.  The dumbshits in Minneapolis ordered exactly this about a decade ago.  Seriously.  Other cities have adopted the same policy, *but quietly,* so as not to trigger any pushback by outraged whites--not that it would have deterred 'em in any case, eh? 

Now: under what *possible* theory does decriminalizing selling illegal, addictive and often deadly drugs make things better for ordinary citizens, eh?

Obviously it doesn't make things better for ordinary people.  It leads to more theft (as addicts steal to feed their habit) and kills more people thru overdose (adding 2 milligrams of fentanyl to any street drug will kill half the people who take it).

*The only people who benefit from decriminalizing sale of illegal drugs are: 1) people who sell illegal drugs; and 2) politicians who get re-elected by the votes of the first group.*  

So the policy of simply ignoring illegal drug sales is utterly stupid--moronic.  And yet Democrat-ruled cities have adopted that policy, cuz..."disparate impact."

And we're just getting started.

Police departments, fire departments, companies, the military...all want skilled, high-quality members, eh?  Would anyone like to stand up and argue that they *don't* want the best-qualified people to staff those positions?  Anyone?  Hakeem Jeffries?  Chuckie Schumer?  Katanji Brown-Jackson?  (Oh wait...)

And yet *hundreds of times* when a Democrat is president, the DOJ has sued all of the above employers *specifically on the grounds of "disparate impact."  And in virtually every case the defendant--companies, police and fire departments, even the military--realizing they can't beat the Democrat courts--agree to settle the case by...wait for it...eliminating all tests and minimum standards for hiring!

Wokie generals in the U.S. armed forces ORDERED that recruits didn't have to pass even minimal fitness standards.  Grossly overweight?  No problem, sweetheart.  

So what do ya think that accomplishes, eh?

Sure: Democrats get re-elected, the nation goes to shit.

Example (out of millions): Under the totally insane "disparate impact" policy, the Democrat-ruled EEOC pressured companies that flew big jets to hire obviously unqualified applicants as pilots.  One such applicant, who had received repeated unqualified evaluations during checkflights, flew a brand-new 767 into the ocean off New Orleans.  Fortunately it was a cargo company so it only killed the pilots.

We've got the video and the cockpit voice recorder.  I flew heavy jets and know exactly what every bit of both show. Total incompetent fuckup, killed two and trashed a perfectly-working new 767.  Democrats: "Accidents happen to anyone!  Yew cain't blame ouah policies fo' dat!"  Really?

Example of a NON-racial "disparate impact:" Kara Hultgren.  Google that name.  An admiral's daughter who wanted to be a Navy pilot.  But not just the pilot of a gentle, forgiving plane, but of what at the time was the Navy's hottest fighter: the F-14.  

Because the Navy didn't have any women flying the F-14, the woke Navy brass felt pressure to change dat.  See, "disparate impact" again! 

During her training there were *lots* of red flags that would have caused a male to be ruled out as an F-14 pilot.  But because the Navy brass was *totally* woke (thanks, Obozo!), the admiral's daughter somehow managed to get one of the coveted F-14 slots.

Because I don't wanna ruin your day let's just say it didn't work out well.

Now, did some city tests for hiring have questions unrelated to required skills?  Yes, and the lawsuits resulted in those being removed.  Fine.  But as could have easily been predicted, the Dem-ruled DOJ and the courts went way overboard, and demanded that *even if no questions on hiring tests were found to be objectionable,* the mere fact of "disparate results" ALONE would cause the DOJ to demand that ALL tests for hiring be thrown out--*even if the DOJ found no questions unrelated to job requirements.*  

So the racial makeup of all companies, police, fire and the military--HAD to exactly match the racial makeup of the entire country--even in states where blacks were rare!

Can anyone predict the result?  Sure ya can.

Now: as should be totally, screamingly obvious, it's virtually impossible to fire unqualified people once they've been hired--IF they're members of a Democrat-protected group.  

The result?  Bribem choosing Cackles Harris as VP.  Bribem appointing (and the corrupt dem-ruled senate confirming) a Supreme Court "justice" who can't define "woman."  The military saddled with men pretending to be female and wearing dresses as their uniform.  

It's insane, and most normal Americans instantly know it.  But left/liberal Dem judges keep demanding it, and those sons of bitches have LIFETIME jobs.

But finally, some sanity is slowly returning: Trump has said "That's enough."  Just two problems: 1) the Deep State refuses to go along with Trump policies; and 2) lawless leftist judges block EVERY Trump policy with bullshit reasoning. 

I'm old so I no longer have a dog in this hunt.  You stupid bastards have allowed the Left to take over the U.S, and I doubt you'll ever recover.

If you doubt that, consider that the shithead leftis Jimmy Kimmel claimed--on his nationally-televised shitshow--that the man who assassinated Charlie Kirk was a MAGA supporter--and he still has a nightly show.  Wow.  Insane country.
