Most Americans think of the Civil Rights Act as the piece of legislation that ended legal discrimination in the United States, but they don t understand how the relevant body of law has mutated over the years. The original language of the law was vague and allowed for radical interpretations that have led to the rise of a legal leviathan that reaches into every part of American life.

00:00:30.000 Federal officials have a level-day discrimination lawsuit at the Sheetz convenience store chain,
00:00:42.600 alleging that the company's use of criminal background checks as a screening mechanism for employees
00:00:47.660 falls afoul of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
00:00:52.980 While Joe Biden's Department of Justice says it doesn't believe that the company intended to
00:00:58.560 discriminate, the fact that minority applicants are more likely to have criminal records somehow
00:01:04.160 means that Sheetz is violating the law.
00:01:07.300 This action may seem absurd, but the lawsuit actually fits well within the logic of existing
00:01:13.060 civil rights law and its standard of disparate impact.
00:01:17.160 Sheetz employs a common screening method to protect its customers' and employees' safety,
00:01:22.820 yet the Biden administration has made it clear that criminals' rights hold more importance.
00:01:28.980 The civil rights regime that rules the United States has decided that skin color trumps all 0.98
00:01:34.640 other concerns and has made a safe, high-trust society functionally illegal,
00:01:40.700 punishing the average law-abiding citizen in the name of equality.
00:01:44.140 Most Americans think of the Civil Rights Act as the piece of legislation that ended legal
00:01:50.020 discrimination in the United States, but they don't understand how the relevant body of
00:01:54.560 law has mutated over the years.
00:01:57.620 The original language of the law was vague and allowed for radical interpretations that
00:02:02.460 have led to the rise of a legal leviathan that reaches into every part of American life.
00:02:08.380 The average person would assume civil rights law simply prevents a business from openly denying
00:02:14.120 an individual employment due to his race, but the truth is far more complicated.
00:02:20.020 The Supreme Court's decision in Griggs v. Duke Power Company introduced the language of
00:02:25.300 disparate impact, and that change has warped every institution in the United States.
00:02:32.180 Under disparate impact, the employer doesn't need to make any conscious decision to discriminate
00:02:36.900 in order to violate the law.
00:02:38.720 In the original case, the justices decided that if minority applicants reliably score
00:02:44.120 lower on aptitude or IQ tests, then use of those tests to screen potential employees broke
00:02:50.720 the law even if the employer had no intent to discriminate.
00:02:55.120 Removing intent as a factor for consideration made any difference in outcome for racial groups
00:03:01.680 count as evidence of discrimination.
00:03:04.180 The Civil Rights Act of 1991 made the change official, leading to college degrees becoming
00:03:11.720 the only acceptable way for businesses to screen would-be hires.
00:03:16.860 Hey guys, I need to talk to you about new founding.
00:03:19.780 Look, we all know that the job market is a disaster right now.
00:03:23.580 Based people can't find good companies to work for, and good companies can't find employees 1.00
00:03:29.360 to get the work done, and that's why you need access to the new founding network.
00:03:35.180 New founding has created a network of high-excellence professionals who are seeking to join grounded
00:03:40.680 American businesses.
00:03:42.140 They're individuals, often in elite organizations, who are ready for a team and mission that supports
00:03:48.220 their values instead of working against them.
00:03:51.720 Align companies are already using the network to hire high-trust, exceptional individuals who match
00:03:58.080 the culture and mission of their team.
00:04:01.380 You can apply for access to the New Founding Talent Network at newfounding.com slash talent.
00:04:08.540 You'll be connected with candidates who will build your business.
00:04:12.240 That's newfounding.com slash talent.
00:04:15.280 Go there now to find your next hire.
00:04:17.900 Most Americans would enthusiastically endorse the idea that we should evaluate every individual
00:04:24.560 on their merit, but the creation of a standard like Disparate Impact exposes the falsehood
00:04:31.040 that civil rights law merely aimed to give each person an equal shot.
00:04:36.780 Whether we like it or not, differences between groups reliably emerge across different domains,
00:04:44.020 and using objective standards will naturally reflect those differences.
00:04:49.840 Progressives didn't want a world that removed racial preference.
00:04:53.900 They wanted a world that actively used racial preference to reshape American institutions 0.97
00:05:00.300 in their own image.
00:05:02.720 A standard like Disparate Impact doesn't reduce racial preference, but instead increases the
00:05:08.840 salience of race to the point that companies must hire less qualified or even dangerous employees
00:05:15.740 to fill a de facto racial quota system.
00:05:19.480 Warping reality to meet an artificial ideological goal is always dangerous and often leads to
00:05:27.980 disastrous results.
00:05:30.300 When does fast grocery delivery through Instacart matter most?
00:05:34.120 When your famous grainy mustard potato salad isn't so famous without the grainy mustard.
00:05:38.980 When the barbecue's lit, but there's nothing to grill.
00:05:41.640 When the in-laws decide that, actually, they will stay for dinner.
00:05:44.920 The justification for banning basic aptitude and IQ tests was based on utopian thinking at best
00:06:08.480 and cynical political calculation at worst.
00:06:11.880 It has resulted in the explosion of extreme college debt and a leftist monopoly on employment
00:06:19.160 credentials in the United States.
00:06:21.940 The relentless expansion of the ideology at the heart of civil rights law always meant that
00:06:28.820 it would eventually need to be applied to criminal records.
00:06:32.300 Some minority groups commit crimes at a significantly higher rate and therefore have a much higher
00:06:39.260 likelihood of being excluded from employment by a background check.
00:06:44.320 Those on the left attribute this fact to racism, but they find it hard to disagree with the data
00:06:50.380 itself.
00:06:51.680 People can and will argue endlessly over the causal factors, but just as with aptitude tests, the
00:06:58.400 intention of the employer doesn't matter.
00:07:00.820 If any difference in results occurs, even with the use of objective measures, it's a violation
00:07:08.000 of the law.
00:07:09.540 This is how our current ruling class use a civil rights law to implement a system of anarcho-tyranny. 1.00
00:07:16.420 A government under anarcho-tyranny ignores serious violations of law like theft and violent
00:07:22.080 assault and instead seeks to criminalize the behavior of normal, law-abiding citizens whom it
00:07:27.160 views as the greatest threat to its power.
00:07:29.200 This tactic is designed to remove the organic mechanisms most communities use to create
00:07:35.720 safety and order and keep the population in a constant state of fear.
00:07:40.220 With the most basic tools of order stripped away, citizens are compelled to grant the government
00:07:45.340 increased levels of power in the hope that it will be used to reinstate a safe and healthy
00:07:50.200 status quo.
00:07:51.120 Instead, the regime uses that power to reward its client classes.
00:07:56.640 This tactic is particularly effective at keeping the middle class from organizing and opposing 0.69
00:08:01.140 a regime that deploys the classic strategy of high and low versus middle to eliminate competition
00:08:06.920 and expand its own power.
00:08:09.180 I've explained that strategy in detail in another video, and I'll have a link for it on screen
00:08:13.920 right now.
00:08:14.420 Any civilization without a death wish would understand that businesses keeping their customers
00:08:20.940 and employees safe by screening applicants for criminal records is a pretty common sense
00:08:25.580 move.
00:08:27.080 Society is just better when our public spaces are run by trustworthy individuals who have, at
00:08:33.180 the very least, demonstrated an ability to refrain from violating the law.
00:08:37.860 But the Biden administration wants to send a chilling message to any corporation that would value
00:08:44.540 safety and order above the perverse, race-obsessed ideology of the civil rights regime.
00:08:52.020 Our malicious Justice Department is unfairly targeting responsible employers with harsh laws while
00:08:58.860 letting violent criminals off easily, which threatens public safety.
00:09:02.960 To end the madness and restore order, this country must take back the excessive control
00:09:09.920 that the civil rights authorities have over all American institutions.
