DOJ Probes University Of California Over Alleged Race And Sex Hiring Quotas

The Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation into the University of California (UC) system to determine whether its efforts to boost faculty diversity run afoul of federal anti-discrimination laws.

In a June 26 announcement, the Department of Justice (DOJ) stated that it is probing whether the university’s “UC 2030 Capacity Plan” and related campus-level programs constitute a pattern or practice of unlawful employment discrimination based on race and sex, in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

“Public employers are bound by federal laws that prohibit racial and other employment discrimination,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon, who leads the department’s Civil Rights Division. “Institutional directives that use race- and sex-based hiring practices expose employers to legal risk under federal law.”

According to the Justice Department, the UC system’s strategic hiring plan explicitly encourages campuses to measure and increase the number of new hires by race and sex to meet internal diversity targets. Officials described the framework as potentially unlawful, citing provisions in the plan that direct campuses to recruit “diverse” faculty in line with demographic benchmarks.

The UC 2030 Capacity Plan outlines several such goals, including the recruitment of at least 40 percent of its graduate students from its own undergraduate programs and from other minority-serving institutions, including Hispanic-serving institutions, historically black colleges and universities, and tribal colleges and universities. The plan also outlines a goal to hire more than 1,100 new ladder-rank faculty members by 2030—an effort the university says will help diversify its academic workforce, noting that new hires tend to be more diverse than the existing faculty.

“Identity-based hiring is not only wrong—it is illegal,” Dhillon wrote in a post on social media. “Public employers ignore our civil rights laws at their peril.”

A request for comment sent to the University of California by The Epoch Times was not immediately returned.

A university spokesperson told The Hill that the university “is committed to fair and lawful processes in all of our programs and activities, consistent with federal and state anti-discrimination laws.”

“The University also aims to foster a campus environment where everyone is welcomed and supported. We will work in good faith with the Department of Justice as it conducts its investigation,” the spokesperson said.

REPORT: Travis County Prosecutors Allegedly Drop CAPITAL MURDER Charges Against Two of the Four Suspects in Brutal Killing of InfoWars Reporter Jamie White

Travis County prosecutors have allegedly dropped CAPITAL MURDER charges against two of the four suspects involved in the brutal, racially-motivated killing of InfoWars reporter Jamie White—a 36-year-old father and journalist murdered outside his Austin apartment earlier this year.

Jamie White, 36, was found fatally shot in the parking lot of his apartment complex in March.

According to police, the murder occurred during an attempted vehicle burglary by a group of four teenage suspects. White later died from his injuries at the hospital.

One of the suspects, Eloy Adrian Camarillo, 17, confessed to police that he and three of his friends were attempting to break into cars when they encountered White.

During the altercation, White was shot and killed.

Camarillo was originally charged with capital murder, and police made it clear that this was no random crime.

One of the suspects even bragged about the killing in a rap verse, calling the victim a “white boy,” strongly suggesting a racial motive behind the attack.

“White boy came outside / Hit his damn a– with a 9,” the disturbing lyrics from the phone of suspect Rodney Charles Hill reportedly stated.

Hill, 17, was the final suspect arrested, while two others—both under the age of 17—have not been publicly identified due to Texas law.

Former Rep. Jamaal Bowman Says N-Word Is to Blame for Blacks Suffering from Obesity, Cancer, and Heart Disease

Former Congressman Jamaal Bowman has claimed that black people are suffering from serious medical conditions because they are called the N-word so regularly.

Appearing on a CNN panel on Thursday, Bowman outlined his theory that rates of cancer, obesity, and heart disease are higher among black Americans because of people allegedly using the N-word.

“I’m a black man in America,” Bowman explained.

“The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the n-word directly or indirectly every day.”

Bowman’s rhetoric was so bizarre and extreme that even the Democratic Party ultimately rejected him.

In last year’s Congressional primary, Bowman lost to former New York State Assemblyman George Latimer by over 20 points.

In the wake of President Trump’s landslide election victory, Bowman openly attacked white people for not supporting his political ideas and claimed that some are simply “too far gone.”

“Dear White People,” he wrote at the time. “I don’t know why I feel the need to keep talking to you. I don’t know why part of me still has hope for you and for us.

“Some of you are too far gone. But maybe enough of you aren’t and will join us in fighting to end white supremacy.”

“I just wanna call out the hypocrisy and evil of it all and just continue to hope.

”I won’t rely completely on you because I know what’s most important is to work with my community and other like minded allies in the fight for justice.”

Biden Panders to Blacks, Heavily Slurs, Has Insane Outburst of Anger During Visit to Black Church on Juneteenth 

Joe Biden, a lifelong racist, pandered to the black community this week to celebrate Juneteenth.

No one knew what Juneteenth was until recently.

Barack Obama never tweeted about Juneteenth and he never gave a speech about the event.

Biden signed a law making Juneteenth a federal holiday in 2021.

Just one year before making it a federal holiday, Joe Biden had no clue what Juneteenth was and he actually confused it with the Tulsa Massacre.

Joe Biden visited Reedy Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Galveston, Texas, on Thursday.

“This is the United States of America for God’s sakes!” Biden angrily shouted. “There’s nothing, nothing beyond our capacity when we act together.”

82-year-old Biden heavily slurred his way through remarks. He was nearly impossible to understand at times during his short speech to congregants.

Happy Holiday! Here Is What They Won’t Tell You About Democrats and Juneteenth…

Happy Juneteenth!

Today is the day the United States celebrates Juneteenth, a little-known date that was recently dug up to divert attention from the real civil rights achievements by brave Republicans who fought to free the slaves.

Here is more background.

When the Civil War ended, and after Republican President Abraham Lincoln liberated the slaves, Democrats initiated Jim Crow laws to punish blacks. Democrats discriminated against blacks. In fact, the KKK was founded as the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party.

The Ku Klux Klan assassinated many Republicans, including Republican Representative James M. Hinds (December 5, 1833—October 22, 1868) of Little Rock. Hinds represented Arkansas in the United States Congress from June 24, 1868, through October 22, 1868, before his violent death.

The Ku Klux Klan was founded as the activist wing of the Democratic Party.

On September 28, 1868, a mob of Democrats massacred nearly 300 African-American Republicans in Opelousas, Louisiana. The savagery began when racist Democrats attacked a newspaper editor, a white Republican and schoolteacher for ex-slaves. Several African-Americans rushed to the assistance of their friend, and in response, Democrats went on a “Negro hunt,” killing every African-American (all of whom were Republicans) in the area they could find. (Via Grand Old Partisan)

Democrats in hoods slaughtered hundreds of Republicans and blacks across the country.
They beat and threatened and murdered Republicans for standing with the black man.

On April 20, 1871 the Republicans passed the anti-Ku Klux Klan Act outlawing Democratic terrorist groups.

The last KKK official to serve in Washington, DC was former Senator Robert Byrd, a KKK kleagle. Byrd was a top Democrat and friend of Joe Biden.

In fact, throughout the Civil Rights era of the 19th and 20th centuries, Democrats fought against freedom and rights for the black man.

Whoopi Goldberg Suggests That Black People Living in the U.S. Are as Oppressed as the People of Iran

The ABC News show ‘The View’ is an abomination to American television.

During the broadcast today, co-host Whoopi Goldberg suggested that black people living in the United States are as oppressed as people living in Iran, where women have to submit to dress codes, and being gay is punishable by death.

Her comments came during a loud and incredibly stupid discussion about American foreign policy with regards to what’s currently unfolding in Iran.

It’s really amazing that this show is still on the air.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

FARAH GRIFFIN: It’s not even the same! I couldn’t step foot wearing this outfit in Iran right now.

GOLDBERG: Oh, no! That’s not what you mean to say. It is the same.

FARAH GRIFFIN: No, it’s not. The year 2025 in the United States is nothing like — if I stepped foot wearing this outfit in Tehran right now.

[Crosstalk, Haines trying to bring up Mahsa Amini]

FARAH GRIFFIN: I can’t have my hair showing. I can’t wear a skirt. I can’t have my arms out.

[Crosstalk]

HOSTIN: And it’s for us to judge?

FARAH GRIFFIN: I literally said it’s up to the Iranian people.

HAINES: Yes, it is up to them.

GOLDBERG: And that’s why I’m saying it is the same! Murdering someone for their difference is not good whoever does it! It’s not good!

[Applause]

So, that’s why I said you weren’t saying what you — what I heard was not what you meant.

FARAH GRIFFIN: Okay. I think it’s very different to live in the United States in 2025 than it is in Iran.

GOLDBERG: Not if you’re black!

HOSTIN: Not for everybody!

GOLDBERG: Not if you’re black!

FARAH GRIFFIN: Guys, don’t compare us to Tehran. No one at this table should go to Tehran.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to Roll Out Race-Based Grants as Reparations: “Investing in Black is Not a Criminal Act”

Ahead of Juneteenth, far-left Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has signed Executive Order 2024-1 to create a “Black Reparations Agenda”—a government-sanctioned program that will funnel taxpayer dollars into grants and programs exclusively for Black residents, under the guise of “reparative justice.”

The new executive order calls for a sweeping “Reparations Task Force” to develop a plan focused on redressing historical wrongs allegedly tied to slavery and Jim Crow laws—neither of which existed in the state of Illinois. The end goal? Handouts based entirely on race.

“Today’s Executive Order is not just a public declaration; it is a pledge to shape the future of our city by confronting the legacy of inequity that has plagued Chicago for far too long,” said far-left Mayor Brandon Johnson.

“In partnership with the Chicago City Council Black Caucus and our dedicated allies, we are continuing to build on the bedrock of my administration to move forward in reconciliation through targeted investments aimed at rectifying decades of deliberate disinvestment in Black neighborhoods and communities.

“These decisive actions move us beyond words and are a testament to my administration taking on the responsibility of this work. Thank you to all for your unwavering dedication that has brought us to this pivotal moment toward a more just and equitable Chicago for all.”

During the signing ceremony, Johnson made it crystal clear this isn’t about unity—it’s about prioritizing one racial group above all others.

“Our way will bring to Black residents in reclaiming ownership of our own communities. That is the spirit of Juneteenth, you all. It is about reflecting on our past. Other cultures are taught to never forget.

“We need to be reminded as Blacks here in Chicago and America, remembering our past and working towards a more just future. Investing in Black is not a criminal act. Says she need a witness, so I’m going to say it again. Investing in Black is not a criminal act.”

Whistleblower claims Lockheed Martin eliminated whites from bonuses – ‘and they wrote it all down’

A whistleblower has come forward claiming America’s largest defense contractor has been awarding bonuses based on skin color rather than merit.

The whistleblower told right-wing DEI expert Christopher Rufo that they were preparing year-end bonus recommendations for Lockheed Martin’s aeronautics division in 2022 when they were told their “comp adder” list contained too many white people.

“I got a call from [human resources director] La Wanda [Moorer] last night regarding diversity stats on comp adder,” top Lockheed Martin official Santiago Bulnes wrote to the whistleblower in an email, according to a report published by Rufo at City Journal.

“They took a run at getting your few approved and we’re told that we need to fit in the box. I asked her to send you the list of diversity names to simplify the task of finding the best in the group,” he added.

Afterward, other officials in Lockheed’s human resources department reportedly told the whistleblower to add over a dozen minorities to the “comp adder” list and remove an equal number of white people, never mind whether or not the people deserved to be on the list or not.

The whistleblower was reportedly outraged that Lockheed was requiring managers like them to reward bonuses “on the basis of their [employees’] skin color alone and contrary to documented performance.”

Fatal Austin Metcalf stabbing caught on surveillance tape — but Texas school district won’t publicly release video

Amid an ongoing investigation over the fatal stabbing of high school student Austin Metcalf at a Frisco, Texas, track meet, the school district announced it has surveillance footage of the stabbing.

The Frisco Independent School District confirmed to Fox News Digital that it possesses surveillance footage of the April 2 incident at Kuykendall Stadium but will not be publicly releasing the video.

The fatal altercation between 17-year-old Metcalf of Memorial High School and allegedly 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, a student at Frisco Centennial High School, unfolded during a rain delay on April 2 at the district track and field championship.

Anthony is facing first-degree murder charges.

Authorities say that Anthony fatally stabbed Metcalf in the chest. Though the two students reportedly had no prior relationship, a brief altercation escalated quickly. 

An arrest report obtained by Fox News sheds new light on the pre-stabbing clash after Metcalf reportedly told Anthony that he needed to move out of the Memorial team’s tent, a witness told Frisco police.

The report noted that Anthony “grabbed his bag, opened it and reached inside it” and said, “Touch me and see what happens.”

“Austin stood up and pushed the male to get him out of the tent,” the arrest report said.

The witness told police that Anthony then “reached into his bag and the male took a knife out of the bag and stabbed Austin,” per the report.

Is Nikole Hannah-Jones’s 1619 Project Grift Drying Up?

Nikole Hannah-Jones, who stated that it would be an “honor” to have the riots in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death named after her 1619 Project, and who has earned millions of dollars from taxpayers since then, seems to be angry that the cash cow is giving less and less milk.

Hannah-Jones, who is easily triggered by any challenge to her fabulist narrative about the “slavocracy” that she claims is this country, was further angered after states began passing legislation forbidding the use of curriculum materials based on the 1619 Project (and the Critical Race Theory which “informs” it). Charging Republicans with “whitewashing history,” she tried to get the left “mad enough” to organize by warning them about the “dark and scary times.”

Her rage has only grown since the 2024 election. Hannah-Jones has been accusing President Trump of “erasing black history” — a laughable charge, given that Hannah-Jones knowingly distorts history in The 1619 Project and spin-off products, such as her picture book, where she asserts that “mommies” and “daddies” were “kidnapped” from Africa by white men.

Plus, President Trump has not been good for her (designer) pocketbook. The gigs that funded a lavish lifestyle seem to be fewer in number and flatlining at the fee she was earning back in 2020, the year after The 1619 Project first came out as a special issue of the New York Times Magazine. As I recounted in my book, Debunking The 1619 Project, given that Hannah-Jones was speaking an average of once every two weeks at public universities and earning $25,000 per appearance (often remotely due to Covid), her earnings from taxpayers amounted to about $650,000 in 2020.

Additionally, the Pulitzer Prize-winner was speaking at public libraries, events funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, educational organizations, and commemorations like Juneteenth, Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday, and the 1921 Tulsa “massacre.” In January 2022, she made $55,000 at the Martin Luther King Jr. Symposium at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This is not to mention her salary at The New York Times (a largely no-show job) then also as professor (Knight Chair of Race and Journalism) at Howard University beginning in 2021, and royalties and fees from the 1619 Project hardcover books, films, and other spin-off products.

Her gig as commencement speaker was interrupted this year, however, by “new federal pressures” that prompted Harvard University, and other institutions, to stop funding and providing facilities for “affinity” graduations for groups based on such aspects as race, ethnicity, and disability.

Hannah-Jones was a commencement speaker, but not at her usual center-stage space. She addressed black graduates in a conference room of the Marriot Hotel in Cambridge (the location apparently not revealed publicly until after the May 27 ceremony, which was organized by black Harvard undergraduates and alumni).

According to Harvard Magazine, Hannah-Jones noted that the graduating class had “entered college in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder by a police officer, during a ‘so-called racial reckoning.’” They had witnessed the reversal of promises to confront “legacies of racism,” including the laying off of “the team behind the Harvard Slavery Remembrance program” (the work outsourced to an outside company) and the renaming of the diversity office to the Office for Community and Campus Life. (We should take note of such strategies.)

Hannah-Jones inspired graduates with the accusation, “The same administration that has been cast as heroic for standing up to Trump over academic freedom caved almost immediately on issues of diversity and inclusion, and in doing so — in not standing up for y’all — it didn’t do one thing to stop Trump’s attacks on this university.”

“They gave you up for cheap,” she charged. “And I hope one day you will make them pay for that.”
