3 thoughts on “SBA program upended in wake of Supreme Court affirmative action ruling

  1. You tell a POC of color, your now free to compete in the race, when everyone else is 150 laps ahead. That’s just making things equal and not creating equality.

    To me it looks like we’re stepping back 50 years.

    1. How about a “disadvantaged business” that’s been running the race for 35 years, but yet still qualify as disadvantaged? While undoubtedly good-intentioned, this program has turned into a farce, just how affirmative action had. Glad to see it starting to get looked at differently.

    2. Why do you call them POCs? How is that different from what the bigots of yesteryear called “colored”?

      Furthermore, why do you assume these people are no better than disabled puppies? Have you always had such a low opinion of minorities?
