One of the biggest problems with the left’s argument regarding systemic racism is that it doesn’t exist. This is why they have to manufacture it themselves.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that the state will block businesses owned by white men from $2.3 billion in contracts to renovate JFK International Airport, as the bidding process is reserved exclusively for non-White or women-owned businesses.
“New York remains committed to providing travelers with a premier experience that includes world-class amenities and record involvement by local minority- and women-owned businesses will ensure just that,” Governor Hochul said in a press release.

Question: How is this legal?
A record $2.3 billion in contracts have been awarded to Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE). This is the largest participation of MWBE firms on any public-private partnership project in New York State history. With construction of new airport facilities fully underway, MWBE participation at JFK will continue to break records until the redevelopment is substantially complete expected in 2028. JFK redevelopment also demonstrates a significant focus on working with local contractors, awarding more than $950 million in contracts to Queens-based businesses to date.
JFK has been named one of the worst airports in the WORLD. Do you think this will help it in any way? Since this is funded by taxes, do white taxpayers have to help fund this if they cannot benefit from it?
There are many reasons as to why none of this makes sense.
Firstly, businesses that are owned by white men and employ women and/or minorities are left out of this. A minority and/or women-owned business may also employ white men.

Thirdly, since when should skin color dictate who qualifies for grants?
Fourthly, why does the project cost over $2 billion?
While the left pretends it’s on the progressive pursuit to abolish systemic racism and the patriarchy, they are actually expanding it to baffling levels.
Even if there was some systemic issue, which there’s not, but even if there was, you don’t fix racism with more racism (obviously).
Just watch the clown show:
What does that even mean? “For us, by us.” That makes no sense. Who is “us” and why are they othering a large chunk of the population?
There is a simple way to determine if this is wrong. And that’s analyzing the situation with the roles being reversed. Just imagine if a white man got up there and claimed this was solely for “us.” And by “us” he meant white men.

Can the left get any more retarded? They can and they will, as no one should ever underestimate the painful stupidity of these people.
The left reaches unfathomable levels of racism by the minute. And while they claim to be the compassionate ones fighting to end all of that, they are actually the creators of it. But what else is new?
