YouTube Description
as posted by the channel#MinorityOwnedBuisness #RachelDolezal #RacialIdentity #BlackHistoryMonth
Well, this will in no way be controversial. But this legal issue was bound to come up someday. It is black history month though ...
Under both federal law and Washington state law, minority owned businesses can receive preference for certain government contracts.
Enter Ralph Taylor, a Washington State resident, who owns Orion Insurance Company. Mr. Taylor grew up identifying as Caucasian, and according to the court at least, visually would appear to be Caucasian (take note, a court is literally judging someone based, in part, on the color of their skin. Super.)
After a DNA test from ancestry.com however, Mr. Taylor found out that he was 10% Native American / black. Mr. Taylor decided to subscribe to ebony magazine, join the NAACP, and most notably for our story, decided to apply for government grants for minority owned businesses.
In today's legal analysis, a court has to decide when someone is black enough to call themselves black.
RIP my comment section ....
