why is the governent, by law, required to give preference to minority owned businesses for small business contracts?

I'll hang up and listen.

I think you probably don't really understand the meaning of "white privilege"....

Federal budget in 2016, 3.5 trillion... gdp 18.5. Your answer is somewhere in that 15 trillion, if it's there at all.

because "white people" privileged with superior intellect find some minority dupe to serve as the named owner while secretly owning the company and taking all the profit and when someone gets busted the poor stupid minority goes to jail.

You lost out on that governmental contract to a company owned by a black woman, huh?

Let me ask you this, when prohibition started, did white people give up all their alcohol?


So what makes you think they gave up on slavery after the proclamation?

Probably to give a historically underutilized business a shot.

You can get a DNA test and usually find some Native American heritage somewhere in there and get tax benefits... or so I've heard.

It isn't just contracts. It's employment as well. Minority applicants for federal jobs get "preference points" simply for being a minority, whether it be race or gender.

I don't give a shite what happened 40 or 50 years ago. Are we really that stupid that we can't, in the 21st century, hire people based on ability? I mean, frick, they do the interviews on the phone for Christ's sake. This is why the federal workforce isn't worth a shite now, not to mention the fact that you can't fire anyone, because they will find some card to play as to why you are firing them. Doesn't matter that you can prove they are a lazy frick.

About 17 percent of the U.S. population is Hispanic, and 13 percent is black.

In federal small-business contracting, award ratios for those groups are in the single digits.

They are attempting to close that gap. Not hard to figure out why they do it

It is much easier to succeed as a minority in this country.

Affirmative action
Minority Scholarships
Disadvantaged Business contracts

It is a shame that this country has made racism legal.

White privilege isn't real...now black privilege, on the other hand, is very real.
