Members of a majority group have the same Civil Rights Act protections as everyone else. That’s the ruling passed down by the US Supreme Court in a 9-0 unanimous decision delivered by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Being discriminated against in the workplace because you are heterosexual is illegal. Happy Pride Month.
“The Sixth Circuit has implemented a rule that requires certain Title VII plaintiffs—those who are members of majority groups—to satisfy a heightened evidentiary standard in order to carry their burden under the first step of [a legal framework],” Justice Jackson wrote. “We conclude that Title VII does not impose such a heightened standard on majority-group plaintiffs.”
“As a textual matter, Title VII’s disparate-treatment provision draws no distinctions between majority-group plaintiffs and minority-group plaintiffs,” she explained. “Rather, the provision makes it unlawful ‘to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual’s race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.”
“By establishing the same protections for every “individual”—without regard to that individual’s membership in a minority or majority group—Congress left no room for courts to impose special requirements on majority-group plaintiffs alone,” the justice added.
Long story short, a heterosexual woman acknowledged as capable of her job was denied a promotion by her gay boss and then demoted, after which both her old job and the new one were filled with gay employees.
“If Ames had been in a minority group, all she would have to show to get a trial is that someone with a different sexuality was treated better,” GianCarlo Canaparo, a legal fellow in the Edwin Meese III Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation, explained in The Daily Signal. “But because she is in a majority group, she must show ‘background circumstances to support the suspicion that the defendant is that unusual employer who discriminates against the majority.’”
Lower courts may no longer invent what Justice Thomas called “a product of improper judicial lawmaking.”
Much like the recent unanimous decision on the use of the government’s environmental review process to indefinitely roadblock energy infrastructure projects, this mostly procedural ruling strikes me as a watershed moment.
The Black Supremacy movement and Critical Race Theory have been insisting that reverse discrimination isn’t possible. The US Supreme COurt just carved out a piece of their ass and fed it to them. Yes, it is.
Whether that has downstream effects beyond telling lower courts to stop the dumbfuckery remains unclear but think about the electoral consequences. Critical Race Theory holds, as taught to children everywhere it is allowed, that if you are white, you suffer from the original sin of racism, for which there is no forgiveness. No white Jesus can die for your sin and minorities have the right to be racist toward you but that’s not racism.
Who thinks like that? Who defends that? What sort of world can you expect to live in, run by politicians, bureaucrats, educators, and those with access who think this way? That worldview can’t be limited to just race relations. It informs the fiber of their being. Everything that can be is filtered through the notion that some absolute class of individuals has the right to oppress you for crimes you didn’t commit and for which there can be no pardon.
CRT is bad for the absolutism it stands on, but the people who believe in it are far more dangerous. If that is politically acceptable, then there is nothing in the world that they cannot imagine in this context. Their truth is the only absolute (subject as we are well aware to change and whimsy at their pleasure), and discrimination and oppression are a necessary part of it.
That’s the leadership of the American Democratic Party. It is the power brokers of the globalism movement. It is the foundation of every form of tyranny known to mankind. They are oligarchic god kings. The progressive era Eugenicists. The race supermacists who inspired Adolf Hitler.
That’s who they are, despite the Highest Court in the land telling them that the Civil Rights Act does not give alleged minority groups or individuals the right to discriminate against anyone.
I’m sure they won’t take that well and as soon as they have the votes, they’ll want to change it.
We should not let them gain such an opportunity.
