Federal court delivers major blow to Biden’s radical equity agenda
The
Biden administration’s so-called "equity agenda" suffered a major defeat in federal court recently. In a lawsuit challenging the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) – a new federal agency dedicated to helping only certain preferred racial groups – a federal judge ruled that the Biden administration cannot discriminate based on race.
Judge Mark Pittman, a Trump-appointee based in Fort Worth, Texas, delivered a remedial lesson in civics to the administration: "
The Constitution demands equal treatment under law."
While such a statement should be obvious to any American, this was quite a painful blow to the administration. On his first day in office, President Biden declared a "whole of government" approach to racial equity, requiring all his agencies to "affirmatively advance[e] equity." In practice, the equity agenda resulted in a bevy of programs open to some races, but not others. Farmers, restaurant owners, homeowners, small business owners and federal contractors all got billions in federal tax dollars, so long as they belonged to certain racial groups.
The MBDA is the cornerstone of this equity agenda. Created as a permanent federal agency as part of the Infrastructure Act in November 2021, the MBDA is designed to help certain minority business owners with grants, training, consulting, government contracts, and other benefits to juice up their bottom lines. As Under Secretary of Commerce Donald Cravins said, "If you are a minority entrepreneur, MBDA is your agency."
But that’s not exactly true. As Judge Pittman noted, MBDA won’t help business owners "who trace their ancestry" to the Middle East, North Africa or North Asia. What’s more, all minority business owners who own "less than 51% of their business" are excluded from getting MBDA help. So when President Biden announced that his equity agenda would "build community wealth" for "underserved communities," he meant only preferred racial groups – Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans and some Southeast Asians.
