WASHINGTON, May 4 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's pledge to fight what he calls "anti-white feeling" in the U.S. will likely embolden allies who seek to dismantle government and corporate programs created to battle racism and boost diversity in American life.

Some high-profile supporters of the former president, now the 2024 Republican presidential candidate, say policies for safeguarding people of color in classrooms, workplaces and charities should be repurposed to protect the rights of white people as well.

"I think there is a definite anti-white feeling in this country," Trump told Time in an interview published on Tuesday. "I don't think it would be a very tough thing to address, frankly. But I think the laws are very unfair right now."

Trump did not specify examples of anti-white bias nor policy prescriptions in the interview.

But Trump's campaign website, opens new tab lays out several plans, and some of his allies are making detailed recommendations should Trump win back the White House from Democrat Joe Biden in a Nov. 5 election.

One Trump proposal would reverse Biden's executive order requiring federal agencies to assess whether underserved communities - including people of color, LGBTQ Americans and rural Americans - can adequately access their programs.

At campaign rallies, Trump pledges to strip funds from schools teaching critical race theory, an academic concept - rarely taught in public schools - that rests on the premise that racial bias is baked into U.S. institutions.

One campaign adviser, Lynne Patton, told conservative activist and journalist Laura Loomer in an interview posted on Friday that she expected a second Trump White House would refuse federal money to any schools, companies or charities that enacted hiring practices under Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs, widely known as DEI.

Rights advocates assail what they view as any efforts to deny communities of color equal footing. They say the programs Trump wants to dismantle exist to reverse centuries of documented inequities.

"There's always been an ability to foment this kind of anxiety and frustration among many whites whenever an effort to level the playing field for non-whites has been successful in any way," said Tricia Rose, director of the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America at Brown University.

One Trump ally, Gene Hamilton, told Reuters the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division must ensure that corporate programs meant to boost diversity in the workplace are not themselves discriminatory.

The department could derive its authority, he said, in part from Section VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Passed during a time when Black Americans campaigned aggressively for civil rights, the act prohibits hiring or compensation decisions based on "race, color, religion, sex, or national origin."

Hamilton, who served in the Justice Department under Trump, says the act should protect white people as well. For instance, a hiring program meant to boost the number of people of color in the workplace should not exclude other applicants.

Still, a majority of self-identified Trump voters believe that white Americans face discrimination. Some 53% of self-identified Trump voters responding to a March Reuters/Ipsos poll said they believed that white people in the U.S. are discriminated against because of the color of their skin, compared with 14% of self-identified Biden voters.

One Project 2025 chapter, co-written by conservative economist and Trump adviser Stephen Moore, argues the Treasury Department should seek to fire employees who willingly take part in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs.

Asked about the Time magazine comments and the measures Trump would take to address anti-white bias, his campaign said in a statement that Black and Hispanic Americans were more interested in immigration, crime and pocketbook issues than matters of race.

I remember like 25 years ago when Chris Rock had a special and he talked about these angry white people.

"We're losing the country!! We're losing everything!!"
"If yall losing, who's winning? It aint us. I drove around this motherfukker. It aint us."

White resentment. Trump rode that into the White House. Still using the same plays.

All you have to do is listen to one wyte persons rant about DEI and know they're bitter. Because of things like DEI qualified blacks are taking the jobs they used to just give to average wyte people just off principle. Now they actually have to start competing and don't wanna grind so they want the old playbook back. The sad part is most DEI hires are typically overqualified for the position in the first place because we were always taught you have to be twice as better to even get in the door and they try to ignore that there's a reason that DEI was instituted in the first place

 

[Neo TheInsurrectionistONE]

Gon be enough of that "cac" this and "cac" that talk come November


Certain "brehs" (they know who they are) should be looking forward to this.

The bootlickers want proximity to whiteness and status. When them tables turn they'll be back out in the cold facing reality - the yts don't love them like that

White people aren’t the only ones against DEI
Affirmative action didn’t get repealed just because of white people
Muthafukkas so worried about white folks

white victim complex is a form of mental illness

Its mindblowing that Trump could be in prison and end up becoming the president of a country that's damn near a prison in itself, giving policies and speeches via live feed from a cozy white collar prison in Iowa awaiting to get pissed on by smutty tings.

Meanwhile, MAGAts will bow to the screen like ole dude is Joel Orsteen and feel fulfilled that their president is back,

But hmmmmm
