"Chicago Sued by White Men Barred From Bally’s Casino Investment
Bally’s Corp. and the City of Chicago were accused of discriminating against White men in a lawsuit by a conservative legal group challenging a $1.7 billion casino project that offered a 25% ownership stake only to women and people of color.
The city violated the civil rights of Richard Fisher and Phillip Aronoff, who said they were unable to invest in the project because they’re White men, according to the suit filed Wednesday in federal court by the American Alliance for Equal Rights.

“We’re not trying to stop the casino, we’re trying to stop the race discrimination,” Dan Lennington, a lawyer for the plaintiffs. “The minute they insert race-based qualifications into an investment, that’s when it becomes illegal and invalid under federal law.”

Bally’s devised the share-purchase program to make good on a pledge made in its casino bid to bring under-represented groups into the project and help build wealth in the local community. But such diversity, equity and inclusion practices have come under fire in the private sector and are getting rolled back by the federal government under the new Trump administration."

If they denied the civil rights of these white men because of their skin color, then they should face civil and criminal consequences.
We should be the color blind society that MLK envisioned.

We should be the color blind society that MLK envisioned.

The liberals have disowned MLK. They don’t agree with him, they reject his vison. Now they preach that you are supposed to see color and that “colorblindness” is complicit in racism.

Liberals now claim you are supposed to judge someone by the color of their skin -

“Colorblindness is the racial ideology that posits the best way to end discrimination is by treating individuals as equally as possible, without regard to race, culture, or ethnicity (Williams, 2011).

• At face value, this belief appears to not only amounts to a dismissal of the lived experiences of people of color, but also suggests that racism does not exist so long as one ignores it.
• However, within the context of enduring structural and systematic racism, racial colorblindness serves as a device to disengage from conversations of race and racism entirely. (Asare, 2017)

Why Colorblindness Acts to Perpetuates Racism (Camp Kupugani, 2020)

• The word "blind" means not being able to see. This means that in terms of racial colorblindness, a person is also choosing to not just see race or skin color, but also the racial disparities, inequities, history of violence and current trauma perpetuated within a racist society
• BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) will explain that race and ethnicity does matter, as it affects opportunities, perceptions, income, and so much more. Race is not something that BIOPOC person can not remove their skin color and racial identity. It is something the see and live with every day.
• When race-related problems arise, colorblindness tends to individualize conflicts and shortcomings, rather than examining the larger picture with cultural differences, stereotypes, and values placed into context.
• A colorblind approach allows us to deny uncomfortable cultural differences.
• In a colorblind society, White people, who are unlikely to experience disadvantages due to race, can effectively ignore racism in American life, justify the current social order, and feel more comfortable with their relatively privileged standing in society.”
