Trump vows to fight 'anti-white feeling' in the United States. His allies have a plan reuters
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, opens new tab 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.
Such a focus would depart dramatically from the Civil Rights Division's historic role of protecting marginalized groups.
In recent years, it has led investigations into police departments for alleged racism against Black Americans and sued companies for discriminating against immigrants.

Not sure - there are going to be some problems today. Trump violated the gag order again by posting on twitter and quickly deleting it. It's like a child testing his parents. What a baby.
I don't know if the judge has any other recourse other than to put him in jail. This isn't something that anyone should be excited about. It's SO frustrating for Trump to repeatedly violate the judges orders. No other person in the country is allowed to speak of the judge, jurors, or witnesses during a criminal trial without punishment. None.
But here we are.
I am sick of Trump being given every courtesy, chance , and allowance . Reminds me of the OJ trial. Two judicial systems: One for the rich and powerful, and one for the peons. If you can’t shut him up, lock him up! Please allow us commoners to have some glimmer of hope that no one is truly or singularly above the law.
Documents Case on hold indefinitely
This is such crap. Anyone else found to be knowingly taking and hiding highly classified documents would be waiting in jail for trial. He sits free and the case is being postponed AGAIN. Send him to trial and get this over with.

Reporting by National Public Radio shows that Cannon traveled twice recently to a luxury resort in Pray, Montana, to attend a conservative legal conference, but failed to disclose the trips, which some estimate cost in the tens of thousands of dollars apiece.
Federal guidelines do not prohibit a sitting federal judge from taking luxury vacation, even paid for by another person or group, so long as they are disclosed and documented.
Since NPR first reported the story, Cannon has amended a required filing, documenting the trip, but who paid for the travel remains unclear. The conferences, which she attended at Sage Lodge, were sponsored by the George Mason School of Law, a conservative leaning law school with deep ties to Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society.
