Every White man in Virginia needs to know that this government hates you.

Democrats in Richmond just passed a bill to explicitly discriminate against White men in government contracting.

For discretionary contracts under $200K, state agencies are allowed to bar White men from even being considered at all.

And in all other <$200K contracts where White men aren't barred from competing, agencies are still allowed to award them to women or minority-owned businesses that are 5% more expensive than a bid from a business owned by a White man.

The original version of the bill set the threshold at under $100K and included a clause allowing White men to compete if there was no competition or if only one firm submitted a bid. Democrats eliminated this language from the final bill.

If this goes anything like Federal contracting ... some white guys will front a 'minority' as an owner or partner, for window dressing, to get those contracts.

Most certainly.

Are they trying to give more money to the civil rights lawyers?  That’s an easy peasy slam dunk suit.

Nothing but the best for Virginia. Every one knows that white men run the worst and shoddiest companies and only women and minorities [ like Somali muslims ] run the best ones and do the best work. Right?
