Yes, Systemic Racism Exists; Biden Is Implementing It

More proof has emerged that President Joe Biden and the Democrats’ “anti-racist” agenda is, in fact, actual racism is being practiced right out in the open.

The latest example comes from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

At sba.gov, the agency spells out how restaurant owners can claim relief funding through the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, part of the recently enacted $2 trillion American Rescue Plan Act.

The SBA says the fund was “established to provide funding to help restaurants and other eligible businesses keep their doors open.”

“This program will provide restaurants with funding equal to their pandemic-related revenue loss up to $10 million per business and no more than $5 million per physical location,” it adds. “Recipients are not required to repay the funding as long as funds are used for eligible uses no later than March 11, 2023.”

The website then notes that the money is available to owners of restaurants, bars, breweries, wineries, food trucks, and other eateries.

After providing additional details on how and when to apply and other questions, the SBA identifies the “priority groups.”

First in line is any “small business concern that is at least 51 percent owned by one or more individuals” who are women, followed by veterans, and then the “socially and economically disadvantaged.”

“Socially disadvantaged individuals are those who have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias because of their identity as a member of a group without regard to their individual qualities,” the SBA notes.

When you get to page 14 of the actual program application, you learn that category is defined as follows: “Individuals who are members of the following groups are presumed to be socially disadvantaged: Black Americans; Hispanic Americans; Native Americans (including Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiians); Asian Pacific Americans; or Subcontinent Asian Americans.”

The ”economically disadvantaged” are more or less the same group. The application defines them as “socially disadvantaged individuals whose ability to compete in the free enterprise system has been impaired due to diminished capital and credit opportunities as compared to others in the same business area who are not socially disadvantaged.”

Interestingly, for those in this group, the SBA will analyze the applicant’s income and total assets to determine eligibility. Not their credit history or whether someone has actually faced “diminished capital or credit opportunities.”

Another beauty of all this is that the applicants self-certify, which raises the question of how closely the SBA will look.

The bottom line is that a white man who is not a veteran who had a fairly thriving business, until it was devastated by COIVD or COVID-related policies, goes to the back of the line.

The issue is that this is at least the third time that liberals in the government have played this race card.

At the end of December, the CDC created a matrix for distributing COVID vaccinees, and until the outrage erupted, the plan was to prioritize essential workers, who are “disproportionately black and Hispanic,” over elderly Americans because senior citizens “skew white,” the Washington Free Beacon reported at the time.

Last week the Associated Press reported that a group of white farmers from Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Ohio had sued the Department of Agriculture because Biden’s massive stimulus plan set up $4 billion to forgive loans for “socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers,” defined as those who are black, American Indian, Hispanic, Alaskan native, Asian American or Pacific Islander.
