I AM Racquel: Talkin’ Sh💩t Over the Beat | Vibe with Me & Join the Conversation! Segregation

Recorded March 21, 2025

This is episode 9.

In this episode of "I AM Racquel: Talkin’ Sh💩t Over the Beat", Racquel addresses the current looming conversation over this corporation we call a country, which is Segregation.

Background information:

​In recent months, President Donald Trump has implemented policies that have significant implications for segregation and civil rights in the United States. Notably, his administration has taken actions that have raised concerns among civil rights advocates.

**Removal of Ban on "Segregated Facilities" in Federal Contracts**

On March 19, 2025, the Trump administration lifted a longstanding prohibition on "segregated facilities" in federal contracts. This change allows contractors to maintain separate facilities—such as waiting rooms, restaurants, and drinking fountains—based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin. The administration argues that existing civil rights laws, like the Civil Rights Act of 1964, continue to prevent discrimination, rendering the previous ban redundant. citeturn0news14

**Rescission of Executive Order 11246**
Earlier this year, President Trump rescinded Executive Order 11246, originally signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. This order had prohibited federal contractors from engaging in employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin, and mandated affirmative action programs to promote equal employment opportunities. The Trump administration describes this rescission as a move to eliminate "radical and wasteful" diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, advocating for merit-based hiring practices. citeturn0search27

**Dismantling of the Department of Education**
In a broader effort to reshape federal involvement in education, President Trump has initiated steps to dismantle the Department of Education. This initiative aims to shift educational responsibilities back to individual states, aligning with the administration's stance on reducing federal oversight in favor of state control. citeturn0news9

**Criticism and Legal Challenges**
These policy changes have sparked criticism from various quarters. Civil rights organizations and legal experts express concern that removing explicit bans on segregated facilities and rescinding affirmative action requirements could lead to increased discrimination and a rollback of civil rights protections. Ongoing legal challenges are anticipated as stakeholders seek to address these policy shifts.
