These are all things meant to put Black people and other people of color back into a racial caste system where discrimination against them was legal," Dr. Alvin Tillery tells theGrio. Civil rights leaders and elected officials are seething after President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders to eliminate DEI federal programs and decades-old enforcement of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.


The article from MSN discusses the potential long-term negative impacts of former President Donald Trump's policies on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the enforcement of the Civil Rights Act, particularly concerning Black workers. It highlights how Trump's administration weakened the EEOC by appointing commissioners who were less focused on civil rights enforcement, leading to a significant reduction in the number of lawsuits filed against discriminatory practices. This rollback has resulted in a chilling effect on the rights of Black workers, as the EEOC's diminished capacity to enforce anti-discrimination laws means fewer protections against workplace discrimination. The article also notes that these changes could have lasting effects, making it harder for Black employees to seek redress for workplace injustices, thereby perpetuating systemic inequalities.
