Federal judge in Texas says agency created to help minority-owned businesses must provide assistance to all races

"The judge permanently barred the agency from “considering or using an applicant’s race or ethnicity in determining whether they can receive” assistance from one of the agency’s dozens of business centers, which help businesses with things like securing funding and competing for contracts.
“Plaintiffs all encountered the same obstacle when they sought MBDA programming. Because they aren’t on the Agency’s magic list, the Agency presumes they aren’t disadvantaged,” Pittman wrote.
“If courts mean what they say when they ascribe supreme importance to constitutional rights, the federal government may not flagrantly violate such rights with impunity,” the judge wrote. “The MBDA has done so for years. Time’s up.”

Thats not “speaking for” anyone, that’s a suggestion of what the legalities behind American law is ready for.
So I say again…
