Lightweight enforcement of EEO laws shows alleged "flood of minorities taking white jobs" is bogus propaganda Nilevalleypeoples


In some quarters, the standard narrative alleges a veritable "flood" of blacks and other minorities supposedly "taking white jobs" under "affirmative action." But this "fact," so often repeated as "truth" by assorted right-wing types is bogus. It is not only that the "flood's" numbers are shaky but the record shows weak enforcement of laws or regulations already on the books, contradicting claims of reputed massive oppression on employers. Indeed scholars studying enforcement note that in some cases it would take "the bureaucrats" 38 years to make ONE cycle of investigation of the employer pool.

The commentary below does not at all rule out the possibility that somewhere, somehow, out of thousands of cases over 3 decades, EEOC involvement might have been unnecessary or negative, with possible disincentives to hire persons in a protected class, for fear of future complaints, or implementation of defensive, negative "CYA" personnel or supervisory practices when dealing with employees of a protected class. Such is possible. This post however focuses on the standard propaganda narrative of massive numbers of minorities "swamping" the workplace and displacing whites due to "quotas." In reality, the reputed "flood" of popular lore exists primarily in the imagination, and bogus broadsides of assorted propagandists.

QUOTE:
"virtually all affirmative action [in employment] is voluntary since the government resources to enforce requirements or monitor further compliance have always been limited and are shrinking further. She estimates that currently there are only enough resources for each employer to be investigated only every thirty-eighty years."
(Hartmann 1996 Who has benefited from Affirmative Action in Emloyment" in Curry ed 1996, The Affirmative Action Debate.)

"By 1968, its [the EEOC's] complaint backlog exceeded 30,000. A decade later that number had grown to 150,000. In recent years, the EEOC received about 63,000 complaints annually, and has been able to bring suit in no more than 500 a year. Moreover, when suit is brought, cases, as a rule, take the better part of a decade or more to reach a legal resolution."

"Nevertheless, visitors to government contractors in 1995-94 who inquired about their compliance with affirmative action requirements found that 75 percent were in substantial noncompliance. In fact, since 1972 only 41 contractors have been debarred from the list of approved federal contractors out of the thousands whose performance was judged satisfactory. In addition, only four of those who have been debarred were larger corporations, and in these four cases, the debarment lasted less than three months. One study found that most agencies responsible for non-contruction contractors reviewed less than 20 percent of all federal contracts. One local office had two people monitoring 29,000 contracts."

 --Cohen and Sterba (2003) Affirmative action and racial preference: a debate, pp190-207


EEOC enforcement long hampered by a massive backlog of cases and deliberate, systematic budget cuts designed to hamstring enforcement.


"Between 1981 and 1983, the budgets of the EEOC and the OFCCP (the Office of Federal Contract Compance Program) were respectively cut by 10 and 24 percent, their staffs by 12 and 34 percent, and travel funds for EEOC investigations were eliminated. During the Reagan era, affirmative action under the federal government's contract compliance program virtually ceased to exist."

--Cohen and Sterba (2003) Affirmative action and racial preference: a debate, pp190-207

"the EEOC’s backlog increased 35% from 54,970 in 2007 to 73,951 in 2008; the number of complaints increased nearly 20% from 79,896 in 2007 to 95,402 in 2008; nearly two-thirds of all complaints filed alleged gender or racial discrimination."
--National Law Journal, 12/14/2009, "EEOC will get $23 million to reduce 70,000-case backlog"

Quotas are nothing new- there being race quotas in favor of white males from the beginning of US history. In more specific 20th century workplace terms, quotas originated in the 1930s to help white union members discriminated against due to union membership,. Courts recognized that merely saying "please stop" would do nothing to redress the damage inflicted.  In like manner Cuurts have ordered "make whole" remedies using quotas to redress damage done to working people directly impacted by discrimination, as even conservatives note. QUOTE:

"Backward, redneck segregationists, hanging onto the last vestiges of institutionalized racism in Alabama, attracted the wrath of the Supreme Court in 1987. In United States v. Paradise, the Alabama State Department of Public Safety had thumbed its nose at a 1970 federal court ruling ordering an end to its systematic discrimination against black state troopers. At the time of that ruling, there was not a single black on the force. Twelve years after the federal court ruling, no black state trooper had been advanced beyond entry level. In response, the federal court ordered racial quotas to end the "pervasive, systematic and obstinate discriminatory exclusion of blacks."
--Phil Valentine. 2016. The Conservatives Handbook: Defining the Right Position on Issues from A to Z



"Hereditarian" or right-wing notions about how AA quotas "hurt" white "the white working man" are distorted and in many cases very dubious. For example firms covered by AA in employment showed unimpressive growth in black employment. And in NON covered firms, with no quotas, black gains STILL happened anyway, without needing any "quotas." And the blue collar "white working man" was in trouble decades before "Affirmative action" was anything significant- due to the shift to services from manufacturing and shift to cheaper manufacturing locales overseas. 

In some cases, some non-elite white males have suffered from AA quotas but credible documentation shows minor impact. Indeed, the overall impact of AA quotas has been small. AA was pitched as a way also to help the poor blacks. But in fact it has done little for them and rather helped those already better off, or better positioned. But all credible data shows that AA quotas has had little to do with the decline of non-elite white males. They were ALREADY on the downslope with the decline of manufacturing and union jobs- ongoing since the 1970s. Non-elite white males have also lost out because the Civil Rights Act of 1964 opened up numerous “protected” or “reserved” jobs to open competition. White employers found they could get equal or better black labor, cheaper than the white union people they had to earlier employ. This opening up of previously “off-limits” jobs is not AA quotas, but standard equal opportunity door opening endorsed by both liberals and conservatives.

In SOME cases yes, AA did hurt non-elites, but the overall impact is small, compared to the much larger economic trends that have hurt non-elite white males. One study of govt contractors with AA between 1974 and 1980, for instance, Leonard (1984;1990) [Leonard, Jonathan, "Impact of Affirmative Action on Employment, Journal of Labor Economics, etc] finds that among contractors black male employment rose from 5.8% to 6.7, an unimpressive .9 percent, LESS than even 1%- rather trivial. In the same study whites fell from 58.3% to 53.3%, an equally unimpressive 5%. But in firms not covered by AA, white employment STILL dropped anyway from 44.8% to 41.3% and black employment still rose anyway from 5.3 to 5.9%. In short, the black gains under AA were a minimal 1%, and were unimpressive compared to blacks without AA who moved ahead anyway. Without AA there were still black gains.

The overall picture is of AA having a minimal or small impact. Without AA involved, the white guys were STILL on the downslope. AA made little difference to the white overall trend. Indeed credible studies of “reverse discrimination” show that it has had little effect on whites. (Blumrosen 1996). This is contrary to the standard HBD propaganda line of vast numbers of white jobs being lost to “quotas for blacks”. Such claims are fantasy.




Even with so-called "non-racial" social policies, white greed and manipulation ensured that blacks would be frozen out or hamstrung from sharing the benefits. The GI Bill's massive discrimination in implementation, and federal housing policies that enshrined redlining and subsidized loan discrimination against black families and veterans are cases in point.  Atlantic Columnist Taheshi Coates gives a fair summary of the terrain:

"The oft-celebrated G.I. Bill similarly failed black Americans, by mirroring the broader country’s insistence on a racist housing policy. Though ostensibly color-blind, Title III of the bill, which aimed to give veterans access to low-interest home loans, left black veterans to tangle with white officials at their local Veterans Administration as well as with the same banks that had, for years, refused to grant mortgages to blacks. The historian Kathleen J. Frydl observes in her 2009 book, The GI Bill, that so many blacks were disqualified from receiving Title III benefits “that it is more accurate simply to say that blacks could not use this particular title.”

In Cold War America, homeownership was seen as a means of instilling patriotism, and as a civilizing and anti-radical force. “No man who owns his own house and lot can be a Communist,” claimed William Levitt, who pioneered the modern suburb with the development of the various Levittowns, his famous planned communities. “He has too much to do.” But the Levittowns were, with Levitt’s willing acquiescence, segregated throughout their early years. Daisy and Bill Myers, the first black family to move into Levittown, Pennsylvania, were greeted with protests and a burning cross. A neighbor who opposed the family said that Bill Myers was “probably a nice guy, but every time I look at him I see $2,000 drop off the value of my house.”

The neighbor had good reason to be afraid. Bill and Daisy Myers were from the other side of John C. Calhoun’s dual society. If they moved next door, housing policy almost guaranteed that their neighbors’ property values would decline... Whereas shortly before the New Deal, a typical mortgage required a large down payment and full repayment within about 10 years, the creation of the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation in 1933 and then the Federal Housing Administration the following year allowed banks to offer loans requiring no more than 10 percent down, amortized over 20 to 30 years. “Without federal intervention in the housing market, massive suburbanization would have been impossible,” writes Thomas J. Sugrue, a historian at the University of Pennsylvania. “In 1930, only 30 percent of Americans owned their own homes; by 1960, more than 60 percent were home owners. Home ownership became an emblem of American citizenship.”

That emblem was not to be awarded to blacks. The American real-estate industry believed segregation to be a moral principle. As late as 1950, the National Association of Real Estate Boards’ code of ethics warned that “a Realtor should never be instrumental in introducing into a neighborhood … any race or nationality, or any individuals whose presence will clearly be detrimental to property values.” A 1943 brochure specified that such potential undesirables might include madams, bootleggers, gangsters—and “a colored man of means who was giving his children a college education and thought they were entitled to live among whites.”

The federal government concurred. It was the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, not a private trade association, that pioneered the practice of redlining, selectively granting loans and insisting that any property it insured be covered by a restrictive covenant—a clause in the deed forbidding the sale of the property to anyone other than whites. Millions of dollars flowed from tax coffers into segregated white neighborhoods. “For perhaps the first time, the federal government embraced the discriminatory attitudes of the marketplace,” the historian Kenneth T. Jackson wrote in his 1985 book, Crabgrass Frontier, a history of suburbanization. “Previously, prejudices were personalized and individualized; FHA exhorted segregation and enshrined it as public policy. Whole areas of cities were declared ineligible for loan guarantees.” Redlining was not officially outlawed until 1968, by the Fair Housing Act. By then the damage was done—and reports of redlining by banks have continued."


"[In Chicago] Like the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, the Federal Housing Administration initially insisted on restrictive covenants, which helped bar blacks and other ethnic undesirables from receiving federally backed home loans. By the 1940s, Chicago led the nation in the use of these restrictive covenants, and about half of all residential neighborhoods in the city were effectively off-limits to blacks.

It is common today to become misty-eyed about the old black ghetto, where doctors and lawyers lived next door to meatpackers and steelworkers, who themselves lived next door to prostitutes and the unemployed. This segregationist nostalgia ignores the actual conditions endured by the people living there—vermin and arson, for instance—and ignores the fact that the old ghetto was premised on denying black people privileges enjoyed by white Americans.

In 1948, when the Supreme Court ruled that restrictive covenants, while permissible, were not enforceable by judicial action, Chicago had other weapons at the ready. The Illinois state legislature had already given Chicago’s city council the right to approve—and thus to veto—any public housing in the city’s wards. This came in handy in 1949, when a new federal housing act sent millions of tax dollars into Chicago and other cities around the country. Beginning in 1950, site selection for public housing proceeded entirely on the grounds of segregation. By the 1960s, the city had created with its vast housing projects what the historian Arnold R. Hirsch calls a “second ghetto,” one larger than the old Black Belt but just as impermeable. More than 98 percent of all the family public-housing units built in Chicago between 1950 and the mid?1960s were built in all-black neighborhoods.

Governmental embrace of segregation was driven by the virulent racism of Chicago’s white citizens. White neighborhoods vulnerable to black encroachment formed block associations for the sole purpose of enforcing segregation. They lobbied fellow whites not to sell. They lobbied those blacks who did manage to buy to sell back. In 1949, a group of Englewood Catholics formed block associations intended to “keep up the neighborhood.” Translation: keep black people out. And when civic engagement was not enough, when government failed, when private banks could no longer hold the line, Chicago turned to an old tool in the American repertoire—racial violence. “The pattern of terrorism is easily discernible,” concluded a Chicago civic group in the 1940s. “It is at the seams of the black ghetto in all directions.” On July 1 and 2 of 1946, a mob of thousands assembled in Chicago’s Park Manor neighborhood, hoping to eject a black doctor who’d recently moved in. The mob pelted the house with rocks and set the garage on fire. The doctor moved away.

In 1947, after a few black veterans moved into the Fernwood section of Chicago, three nights of rioting broke out; gangs of whites yanked blacks off streetcars and beat them. Two years later, when a union meeting attended by blacks in Englewood triggered rumors that a home was being “sold to niggers,” blacks (and whites thought to be sympathetic to them) were beaten in the streets. In 1951, thousands of whites in Cicero, 20 minutes or so west of downtown Chicago, attacked an apartment building that housed a single black family, throwing bricks and firebombs through the windows and setting the apartment on fire. A Cook County grand jury declined to charge the rioters—and instead indicted the family’s NAACP attorney, the apartment’s white owner, and the owner’s attorney and rental agent, charging them with conspiring to lower property values. Two years after that, whites picketed and planted explosives in South Deering, about 30 minutes from downtown Chicago, to force blacks out.

When terrorism ultimately failed, white homeowners simply fled the neighborhood. The traditional terminology, white flight, implies a kind of natural expression of preference. In fact, white flight was a triumph of social engineering, orchestrated by the shared racist presumptions of America’s public and private sectors. For should any nonracist white families decide that integration might not be so bad as a matter of principle or practicality, they still had to contend with the hard facts of American housing policy: When the mid-20th-century white homeowner claimed that the presence of a Bill and Daisy Myers decreased his property value, he was not merely engaging in racist dogma—he was accurately observing the impact of federal policy on market prices. Redlining destroyed the possibility of investment wherever black people lived."


The devastating effects are cogently outlined by Melvin L. Oliver and Thomas M. Shapiro in their 1995 book, Black Wealth/White Wealth:

  Locked out of the greatest mass-based opportunity for wealth accumulation in American history, African Americans who desired and were able to afford home ownership found themselves consigned to central-city communities where their investments were affected by the “self-fulfilling prophecies” of the FHA appraisers: cut off from sources of new investment[,] their homes and communities deteriorated and lost value in comparison to those homes and communities that FHA appraisers deemed desirable."
