As a Black person Im speechless. It feels like the start to turning back the clock to the Jim Crow era.

No. Anti affirmative action people thank the Asian voters who fell for it after Black people warned them what would happen.

Guys, I'm not finding this story on any actual news sites. It's only on social media.

Edit: Found the actual speech posted from a twitter link on DU. He doesn't say anything about the race of the alleged victims. I'll post the transcript in a moment.

Again people, stop using Twitter for news. This is what they're actually talking about, and he doesn't say anything about reparations for white people. Hell, what he is talking about isn't even reparations as we typically define it in that respect. I'm not saying that this isn't incredibly, disastrously bad, but classifying it as "white reparations" is absurd. What he is describing is restitution, not reparations. Also, white people aren't exclusively going to benefit. You should expect to see males, Christians, and cis straight guys benefit as well, and a few of them might even be men of color. Esp. if they come from families with class and/or status privilege.

Furthermore I will direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination. And schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity
will not only have their endowments taxed, but through budget reconciliation I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment. A portion of the seized funds will then be used as restitution for victims of these illegal and unjust policies. Policies that hurt our country so badly. Colleges have gotten hundreds of billions of dollars from hardworking taxpayers and now we are going to get this antiAmerican insanity out of our institutions once and for all. We are going to have real education in America.

*Sigh* This is going to have a horrifically chilling effect on schools and colleges.

Looks like the colleges are going to do some of Trump's dirty work for him. They'll be so afraid of losing public funding that anyone who even utters words like "Palestine" "resistance" and "occupation" outside of a classroom educational context is going to get penalized. On the upside (if you can call it that) Arab Americans will have fewer opportunities to get themselves "deported" for supporting Palestine. I'm honestly not sure which is worse, and I suppose it depends on your personal opinion/viewpoints. I mean, if protesting against Israel's genocide could result in Trump deporting your entire family, then it's probably the better outcome of a heinously unconstitutional order. OTOH, if no one related to you is in the United States, and you are a Palestinian or Lebanese student who left their family behind in their home country, then obviously the opposite is true. Yet on the other hand, your family back home might be happier if they thought that you might be far safer in the United States, even under someone like Trump (let's face it, they would be correct. Trump would have to go full-blown Hitler for Palestinian/Lebanese Americans to be in more danger in the US than they would be in their own country where every day is "Slightly hazy with a chance of missiles.")

Why do I get the sneaking feeling that this is going to be used much less against "reverse racism" and instead used primarily against "anti-Christian bigotry?" Okay, okay, maybe it will be used more against race equity on the federal and state level, but I predict that the special interest groups will primarily make complaints about supposed anti-Christian bias (not that there won't be overlap)

I'm sure special interest groups like Liberty Lobby will try their darndest to squeeze some sort of transphobia into this as well. Anti-Christian bigotry to expect students to have the basic courtesy to use preferred pronouns? Oh, yes, of course! I can definitely see that.
I don't see it going any further than "you can't penalize students or teachers for bullying non-binary people by intentionally and repeatedly misgendering them" and "you can't penalize students or teachers for deadnaming someone if that's still the name on their birth certificate" as well. I trust that I don't need to explain the disgusting intricacies behind that second one. Do I?

Yeah, this. Trump made this speed like a month ago didnt he? Its terrible and full of insane ideas but you know what? A lot has happened since now and then.

To everyone panicking in this thread I want to say this: worry about his more recent actions or youll drive yourself crazy. For now hes just preparing his cabinet, and recent stories suggest an early focus on immigration.

Whatever harms to whites have come from diversity initatives are minimal and vastly dwarfed by current harms done by racist policy...let alone when you factor in all of American history and its quadrillions of times more harm

Go ahead and do it but only if you then followup with vastly larger reperations to black/native american/asian/etc people.
