      The moment he takes away protections for race is the moment I stop hiring white people.

      In my industry, black people typically have lower salary expectations and have worked harder to get where they are.

      This deals with equal opportunity for federal contractors. It’s not directly tied to labor in the private sector.

      But also, yes. I feel like maybe it’s better in the long run if the federal government isn’t looking out for people, and they get accustomed to organizing themselves enough to demand better treatment from their employers without anyone needing to hand it to them.

      Maybe.

      IDK, maybe I am just trying to rationalize what is guaranteed to happen regardless.
