Black conservatives are criticizing Democrat politicians for pushing reparations, arguing that it’s a political ploy rather than a genuine effort to address the needs of Black Americans. Vice President Kamala Harris, a Democrat running for president, has previously expressed support for reparations but hasn’t clarified her stance on a nationwide effort, prompting concerns from Black activists who see it as a political issue.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has filed a lawsuit against Sheetz convenience stores, alleging that they have violated federal law by denying employment to a class of job applicants based on their race. The lawsuit claims that Sheetz screens job applicants for criminal records, a practice that the EEOC says disproportionately affects Black applicants. Several prominent Black conservative figures have criticized the lawsuit, calling it baseless and discriminatory. They argue that businesses have the right to screen potential employees for criminal history, especially in light of rising crime rates.
