#SCOTUS #SetsBarforRacistClaims Horace Cooper Co Chair of the Project 21 Black Leadership Network of National Center which applauds the Justices for voting to cause claims of racism to actually have to prove racism and not just use it as a hammer. A plaintiff must prove that a denial of a contract was based solely on racism and not on any other mitigating factors. Performance and quality should be the deciding factors and race should not play a role. This decision makes it easier to pursue real racism and to make it easier for companies to simply choose the very best candidate for the contract.
