The talent agencies, studios and networks in Hollywood have been able to maintain an illegal race-based monopoly because they are intentionally violating the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with “malice and/or reckless indifference” to the federally protected rights of African Americans, in order to ‘freeze’ their racially homogeneous workplaces and perpetuate the MYTH that whites and/or European descendants who consider themselves to be “Jewish” are the only ones qualified enough to be successful Agents and/or executives.
“An anti-trust case is made out by proof of the fact of conspiracy, although overt acts need not be proved. Nor is actual success in impeding competition a necessary condition. If the necessary consequence of a conspiracy is to produce a result which the anti-trust laws are designed to prevent, the conspirators are “in legal contemplation chargeable with intending that result.” What one may legally do alone may be illegal if done in concert with another; a series of contracts may have illegal consequences which would not exist were there only a single contract. An unlawful agreement or conspiracy may be implied from a concert of action, which, in turn, may be inferred from similarity of action. Acts innocent by themselves may properly be enjoined if they appear to be steps in a conspiracy, and agreements which might be legal standing alone may be stricken to enforce Sherman Act standards.”

“The primary concern of the anti-trust laws is, of course, the protection of economic rights. But these ‘economic rights’ are themselves generally ‘civil rights.’ The anti-trust laws do not cease to apply when the immediate effect of their application is more apparent in fields other than that of anti-trust, in fields other than economic. In the world in which we live social discrimination is intimately connected with economic discrimination and a repression of ‘social’ liberties is likely to have important economic consequences. Gunnar Myrdal has pointed out that ‘[t]here is a fundamental flaw in that distinction between what is purely social and all the rest of discrimination against Negroes. Social discrimination is powerful as a means of keeping the Negroes down in all other respects….The interrelations between social status and economic activity are particularly important.’ Social and economic liberties are part of our best known single definitions of liberty.”
