Unless you’re a person of color or a favored minority, brace yourself to be treated unfairly by the Biden administration.
President Joe Biden is pushing racial equity. That’s very different from equal treatment regardless of race. Racial equity means government can treat people unequally, discriminating against white people, to equalize outcomes. For the Biden administration, it means closing the wealth gap between the white and Black populations — by whatever means.
You may think it’s “unfair” to be forced to pay off other people’s student loans after you’ve already paid back your own. But Biden’s White House actually defends debt cancellation as a way to close the “wealth gap” between races, citing data showing that 20 years after starting college, the average Black borrower still owes 95% of the loan, while the average white borrower has paid off all but 6%.
At the other end of life’s spectrum, older people who are white will find it harder to get an appointment with a doctor who takes Medicare. The Biden administration is forcing physicians to categorize their patients by race and demonstrate they have an “anti-racism” plan to combat health disparities. (Federal Register, Nov. 19, 2021, page 65969). To meet that test, Black patients will be in demand — white patients, not so much.
Doctors who insist on treating patients as individuals rather than by race will be punished with lower payments. Most doctors are expected to give in to avoid the penalty.
If you’re white, good luck dealing with the costs of buying a home. Fannie Mae’s new Equitable Housing Finance Plan will help with appraisals and closing costs, but only if you’re Black.
If you’re a white business owner who sells to the federal government, get ready to lose business to a competitor who identifies as “underserved,” “marginalized” or “disadvantaged.” All euphemisms for identity groups. The Biden bureaucracy gives preference to minorities in federal procurement. Straight white men can take a hike.
Stunningly, the 2021 Medicare payment rules for physicians printed in the Federal Register parrot the language used by inflammatory college professor Ibram X. Kendi in his 2019 book “How to Be an Antiracist.” Physicians must show a “commitment to anti-racism” to qualify for merit pay from Medicare. They’re told it will require “considerable time and resources” to “prioritize” certain “populations.”
That’s instead of treating all patients the same. Kendi argues that colorblindness sustains racial inequality. “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.”
Many physicians are horrified, predicting the rule will undermine trust between doctor and patient. It suggests Black patients will get more time with the physician and more diagnostic tests. White patients will worry they aren’t getting an antibiotic or a referral to a specialist because of their race.
Eight states and Do No Harm, a physicians organization, are suing to overturn the rule. Stanley Goldfarb, chairman of Do No Harm, blasts it for pushing doctors to “prioritize some patients over others.” Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Ala.) has introduced a bill in Congress banning the rule’s “reverse discrimination.”
“Critical race theory has no place in the healthcare profession,” says Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, one of the litigants. He says he will not allow doctors in his state “to be penalized for refusing to bend to extremism.”
Extremism it is. It’s being forced on Americans by what Biden calls a “whole-of-government” approach. We were warned, even before election night 2020, that a Biden administration would trample America’s commitment to fairness and equal treatment under the law.
On Nov. 1, 2020, Kamala Harris tweeted, “There’s a big difference between equality and equity.”
Fair warning: Equity is what we’re reeling under now.
Federal courts have struck down several of Biden’s anti-white programs as unconstitutional. More will likely fall. But in the meantime, Biden’s push for equity will foment racial hostility not seen in half a century.
Don’t be fooled by the president’s rhetoric on Sunday, when he commemorated civil rights leaders who marched on Washington, D.C., 59 years ago. They were fighting racial injustice. Biden is not. He’s imposing anti-white discrimination on everything, from housing to health care. It’s racism by another name.

For a guy who can force treat THE PEOPLE unequally, discriminating against white people, to equalize outcomes, to the benefit of democrat voting people unequal in the desire or ability to self-govern themselves, he sure can create unequal outcomes to enrich himself, his son and the entire Crime family headed by this small man who insists on being called the Big Guy who only gets the biggest shares in laundered money and dirtied government.
Traitor to his race, traitor to his church, traitor to his gender, traitor to his once great party that he has helped to criminalize and traitor to country. All subjects he has now weaponized to create more American social damage and division than any January 6th of misuse of guns could create. Joe has no concept of equity in treating any of these categories of Biden created UNEQUAL outcomes. Given the choice, he sides with the corrupted outcomes of inequality every chance he can, even stolen election outcomes he knows he never earned which make him as illegal as those he attempts in futility to equalize with American people of sanity, integrity, productivity and earned success. He who would UNEQUALLY steal TRILLIONs in executive orders from honest Americans would not bat an eye to steal more elections.
This Treasonous, dishonest, destructive, Socialist Democrat Party’s objective is to deliberately lie, cheat and manipulate elections, the U.S. Constitution and the law, in order to take total control of the American people, by their restricting U.S. oil production, increase Taxes and the cost of everything and bring American commerce and economy to its knees and to promote Socialism, enforced by their political police gestapo (FBI and IRS),
Then access power and retain it by any means available –
No matter the costs to the people, the government or the nation.
This treasonous, hateful, destructive, immoral, socialist Democrat Party and their corrupt, demented puppet president has become our country’s most destructive and deadliest ENEMY!
YET its whites who the left STILL CLAIMS Have the best of it in society..
Go pull the other leg.
He’s trying to institute affirmarive action all over again, doesn’t he remember his farm subsidy (affirmative action) was struck down for the reason it was discrimination in reverse. The woke mob has come to believe that reverse discrimination is somehow justified no matter who gets hurt, I think they enjoy inflicting pain wherever they go. There are specific laws to deal with situations that arise, most of which Democrats opposed at the time, that can be used in these cases.
Equity: Biden’s Racism
Unless you’re a person of color or a favored minority (LGBTQ+ or illegal immigrant),
brace yourself to be treated unfairly by the treasonous Biden administration.
THIS IS systemic institutionalized racism. TOWARDS WHITES.
Hmmm…..At least since the Middle Ages, Jews have been “marginalized”, “underserved”, persecuted, discriminated against, forced to live in segregated “ghettoes” (the very source of the term) and ..KILLED…..and yet they punch way above their weight in the sciences and arts, and when was the last time you heard on the local TV news, “”Morris Goldberg, 23, is being held as a suspect in the murder Wednesday night of a 7-11 clerk”? The “victimization” excuse doesn’t work with this Gentile.
