For Trump, the protection of civil rights should help the white men

President Trump has expressed a detailed hostility to the protection of civil rights in his endeavor to store the diversity in the federal government and beyond.

He ordered the federal authorities to give up some of the core knowledge of the 1964 Civil Rights Act on the basis that they were a “harmful” attempt to make decisions based on diversity rather than merit.

But in the past few weeks, Mr. Trump has turned to the same measures – not to help groups that have been historically discriminated against, but to remedy what he sees as the negative men.

The pattern fits a wider trend in the administration, since Trump officers choose which civil rights protection they want to enforce and for whom. Throughout the government, agencies that have worked historically to combat the discrimination against black, women and other groups forced to examine the institutions that are accused.

“The simple message that you convey is: If you think about it, talk about it or claim to be accessible to diversity, justice, inclusion, accessibility, you will be targeted,” said Maya Wiley, the President and Managing Director of the Leadership Conference on Citizens' Rights.

“They convey that white men are the most discriminated people in American society,” she added, “and therefore authorized to act positive.”
