/1🎥NEW — We just sued Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, the Association of Independent Commercial Producers, and entertainment industry companies for engaging in racial discrimination. Take a look at how Meta allegedly conspired with ad agencies to illegally discriminate based on race:
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/2 AFL’s client in this case is a behind-the-camera electrician who, according to the complaint, was discriminated against because of his race by Something Ideal, Inc., Meta Platforms, Inc., the Association of Independent Producers (AICP), and BBDO.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/3 Meta Platforms, Inc., known as Meta, is the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. Meta was producing a TV commercial with the ad agency BBDO and the production company Something Ideal, Inc.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/4 Each of these entities allegedly conspired and agreed to enter into agreements to hire only “BIPOC” individuals (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) solely based on race and sex for leadership positions on the film set through a program that AICP created called “Double the Line.”
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/5 AICP’s members are responsible for 80-85% of all motion picture ads in the United States. The AICP created the Double the Line program, which creates extra positions on set only for BIPOC individuals.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/6 The complaint alleges that these defendants conspired, agreed to, and put into practice this racially discriminatory “apprenticeship” program in clear violation of 42 U.S.C. 1981, 1985(3), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, and the New York Human Rights Law, which all guarantee race neutrality.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/7 AICP’s “#DoubletheLine” promotion led to agreements for the label of “DTL” to be added only to persons of color on call sheets and payroll, who then obtain positions only for BIPOC individuals, including leadership roles.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/8 In an FAQ online, the AICP describes how the DTL program works:
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/9 AFL’s client is a white man who worked as an electrician on major commercials, feature films, and television productions for over 27 years.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/10 Despite his extensive experience, he was required to report to a BIPOC employee who had no experience or qualifications as an electrician. Since this experience working on the Meta commercial, AFL’s client has been denied work opportunities in the commercial film industry.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/11 For years, the entertainment industry and its unions have violated federal and state anti-discrimination laws. The illegal, insidious, and immoral practice of hiring based on race is widespread, and anyone who objects is punished.

DEI, because it discriminates on the basis of race, gender and many other factors, is not merely immoral, it is also illegal
@TheRabbitHole84 - The Rabbit Hole
The false claim that @mcuban and other demographic engineers in the DEI cabal pedal is that there is "zero evidence" that DEI entails selecting "less qualified candidates." They say this despite the extensive evidence that exists from Affirmative Action cases that indicates that DEI does, in fact, mean less qualified candidates get a leg up on the basis of their group identity while others are effectively handicapped. The question that these people owe us an answer to is a simple one: Why should an individual have a better or worse chance of obtaining a position on the basis of their group identity? I suspect they will continue to dodge answering this question directly and instead continue to obfuscate the issue to their followers. That said, if Cuban and others are genuinely unaware and change their stance after seeing the data then they will have my respect. The ball is in your court @mcuban
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/1 @mcuban and others have suggested DEI policies in America do not constitute illegal race discrimination. Nothing could be more untrue. DEI employs illegal racial preferences, quotas, exclusions and glaring bigotry against whites, Asians and males. Want receipts? Read on:
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/2 We just filed a federal civil rights complaint against French pharma company, Sanofi. The evidence strongly suggests Sanofi’s management has created a culture of systemic racism. Sanofi’s “Diverse Slate Policy” requires the “Talent Acquisition team” for each role to present “a minimum of one person of color and one female in each slate presented to a hiring leader” to achieve “at least 50% diverse representation of 25% POC and 25% female representation.”
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/3 We filed another civil rights complaint against Macy’s. Macy’s has a plan that explicitly instructs management to “[a]chieve more ethnic diversity by 2025 at senior director level and above, with a goal of 30 percent,” as well as to initiate a “12-month program designed to strengthen leadership skills for a selected group of top-talent managers and directors of Black/African-American, Hispanic-Latinx, Native American and Asian descent.”
@America1stLegal - America First Legal
/4 We filed a lawsuit against Amazon for offering a $10,000 bonus to its delivery service partners- but only for those partners who are Black, Latino, or Native American. Whites and Asians are ineligible for this bonus. This is a clear violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1866.
@America1stLegal - America First Legal

Aviva CEO Amanda Blanc proudly admitted that senior white male hires require her personal approval as part of the company’s “diversity” push. “There is no non-diverse hire at Aviva that hasn’t been signed off by me,” Blanc stated. This policy is blatant discrimination against white men and a violation of UK equality laws, which ban race and gender-based hiring bias.

This is a critical point that we must remember as we work to reverse America’s South Africanization: Framed as being for equality, civil rights, and such, there are many laws designed specifically to effect anti-white racism It’s those laws we must destroy🧵👇
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
First, as to South Africa, the main issue are the “Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment,” or BEE laws These are effectively affirmative action on steroids and compliance with them is required for any business that needs a license from or to work with the government must comply The state measures compliance via a scoring system that tracks compliance based on how companies use racial preferences to hire black workers, promote those black workers to management positions, and hand company ownership to blacks
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
This leads to obscene, country destroying distortions Not least of which, it effectively means that it is impossible to hire white workers, as at only ~7% of the population, quota-based hiring and promotion means only a few can ever be hired This can even lead to job cuts to meet quotas: electric utility Eskom, known mainly for constant rolling blackouts, was considering firing thousands of its experienced white engineers to meet racial quotas
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
Similarly, the quotas and similar “diversity” requirements of BEE-style laws make it near impossible for white South Africans to get into universities or other professional schools So, you get laws that, in the name of “equity,” screen out nearly all of the white population from most schools and jobs And that’s before considering state hostility to whites that leads to non-investigation of farm murders and similar atrocities
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
While we don’t like admitting it, America is in a similar position and is seeing similar results; @realJeremyCarl does a great job documenting this in his “The Unprotected Class” We, like South Africa, have a great many anti-white laws that are leading to similar outcomes
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
For one, America has outright racial discrimination in government contracting that has been explicitly allowed by the Supreme Court This leads to situations where minority-owned contractors (sometimes just expensive fronts for white businesses) get government work despite being more far more expensive and doing lower quality work than the non-minority contractors against which they were bidding, purely because of their race And this does happen. Atlanta made it a requirement during the construction of Hartsfield-Jackson that a quarter of the contractors had to be minorities. That went as one would expect
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
Then there are university admissions, and similar sorts of schools and programs, whether for professions or trades Though race quotas are technically banned and outright DEI admissions got limited by SCOTUS, now being only allowed for the military academies, there is still enough cover for administrators to be biased against whites in admissions, but not other ethnic groups. As the universities are full of Marxists, that’s what they generally do, as even merit based admissions get interpreted as “racism” due to disparate impact
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
And that leads into the biggest issue: disparate impact Created by SCOTUS in Griggs v Duke Power and later codified as law by HW Bush, it means that any test for employment is illegal under CRA rules if it results in disparate impact against “protected classes,” even if there was no discriminatory intent So, as this effectively bans any IQ tests due to racial IQ difference, and bans similar tests of basic reasoning, it makes it near impossible for companies impacted by the CRA (15 or more employees) to hire the best candidates Instead, unless they have employment tests that are very, very narrowly tailored to the job, they effectively have to hire based on racial quotas, but with a slight yo major tilt against whites, as doing so will be interpreted by courts as discrimination against protected classes
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
And this does happen A black woman won millions of dollars in a discrimination suit against Equinox gym because it fired her for not showing up on times…dozens of times. That was deemed discrimination Police departments, fire departments, and the like routinely lose disparate impact suits for tests requiring prospective hires to do basic tests of physical fitness and reasoning. Those are also deemed discrimination
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
Our government is just less honest than South Africa’s about its anti-white racism So, instead of requiring the hiring of racial quotas, requiring anti-white discrimination, etc., it says that companies, colleges, and so on are not allowed to “discriminate on the basis of personal characteristics like race, gender, etc,” which generally sounds fair to most, at least at first. But the devil is in the details and in this case that devil is how such discrimination is interpreted: anything other than results showing different groups are perfectly equal in every way, the egalitarian holy grail, is considered discrimination. This effectively requires anti-white discrimination, but without saying as much
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
The results of going to legal war with nature and the differences in human capabilities it created are predictably South African California is on fire because of incompetence and the lesbian DEI commissar is on tape describing how she won’t rescue men from burning buildings Young white guys have trouble getting into college, effectively a requirement for good work because it fills (in expensive fashion) the purpose of the IQ tests that used to be used, and thus unable to get good work. They’re then berated for not pulling themselves up by the bootstraps, despite being legally forbidden from doing so, as we saw during the discussion surrounding H1bs Speaking of, companies being over multitudes of H1bs to fill diversity quotas with those who are at least marginally competent, which depresses wages and exacerbates the work issue All that and much, much more has turned America into a low trust country in which the tap water is often dangerously filthy, crime is high and getting higher, and deaths of despair are ever more common amongst white men
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
And adding to this is how it plays out in the (in)justice system: Like farm murders in SA not being investigated out of spite and incompetence, men like Derek Chauvin who enforce the law are railroaded for doing so because enforcement of the law is effectively a disparate impact activity
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
All of that must be wiped away if America is going to get back on track Yes, culture and public opinion matter. But both are downstream of law And law should, if it is going to prohibit anything at all (preferably none of this would exist and all would just be preference, from home sales to corporate hiring), then it must prohibit discrimination of any sort, rather than all discrimination except anti-white discrimination The latter is what South Africa has done, and it’s a hellhole. It’s also what America is doing, and we’re turning into one
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
So, if the Trump administration really wants to Make America Great Again, it must rip away all the laws that are effecting America’s South Africanization If it doesn’t, and we continue on the same track as we’re on now and that Harris wanted to push us further along, nothing done will matter; all the tax cuts in the world matter little when the water and electricity run out…
@Will_Tanner_1 - Will Tanner
This is one positive To answer Bannon’s question, they’re here because South Africa is awful due to the very policies that they need to destroy in this Trump administration So, theoretically, they know what needs to be done It remains to be seen if they will, though

Here is a Senate hearing from 10 years ago with Obama’s DOT secretary where concerns were voiced about the change in the way that FAA controllers were hired. There is clearly a problem with the biographical questionnaire that is rejecting highly qualified candidates for positions that they desperately need to fill and nobody understands what is going on. I’m not a mind reader, but it’s safe to say that he didn’t want to stay the quiet part out loud. Which is that they are rejecting qualified people because they are not the right skin color or gender or sexual orientation. 10 years ago they knew FAA hiring procedures were changed from strictly based on qualifications to this new biometric questionnaire form and they knew then it was a recipe for disaster.

First up is a "race-targeted housing policy" The plan explicitly calls to “sustain and expand rates of Black homeownership” with “targeted funding” ONLY for the Black populations over three years. Literally a program that allocate benefits by race-ALONE! A clear violation of the 14th amendment, in writing. If you're a poor white, latino, asian... or any other race, but black... Tough luck. You don't get the money.
