Hey Erica, Nobody Cares! NYT Journo Cries ‘Racist’ at Trump Dismantling Woke DEI
NewsBusters ^ | 2/4/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

The sad sacks at The New York Times are once again whipping out the “race” card to wokescold readers into condemning President Donald Trump’s unraveling of leftist diversity, equity and inclusion policies within the federal government.

Do they still believe anybody takes them seriously at this point?

“As Trump Attacks Diversity, a Racist Undercurrent Surfaces,” read the race-baiting Feb. 3 headline from Times White House correspondent Erica Green that was framed as a news item.

Green seethed at Trump for connecting the previous administration’s obsession with putting wokeism ahead of competence in hiring to the horrific plane crash near Reagan National Airport. Green then twisted Trump’s words to screech “That’s racist!” at a strawman, following a typical media pattern. “The meaning behind his words was clear, that diversity equals incompetence. And for many historians, civil rights leaders, scholars and citizens, it was an unmistakable message of racism in plain sight at the highest levels of American government,” according to Green’s triggered screed.

only in liberals demented minds is hiring someone without regard to race and based solely on merit racism.

Unless Democrats believe that blacks cant compete on merit alone, in which case the only thing racist is their beliefs.

DIE is by definition racists and sexist. It demand special treatment for people based on gender, race and sexual orientation.

it is in direct violation of Federal Law

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as amended, protects employees and job applicants from employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin.

No one, no organization, no politician, no media- who doesn't work as hard as Trump and Musk etc should be listened to.

They should be ignored completely to die on the withering crispy brown vine. Cease watering and fertilizing them. Let them go.

The content of leftist character is zero.

No wonder they think math is racist.

Did the hippies from the ‘60s think they would live to see the day when crying “That’s racist!” has about the same effect as George Wallace yelling “You need a haircut!”?

The DEI movement was created somewhere in a faculty lounge for a professor retiring from basket weaving.It is so young it can be killed.

“Armies prepare to fight their last war, rather than their next war.”

That is the Democrats. The Republicans, under Trump, are defining the new rules.

DEI has nothing to do with race or diversity. That’s the masquerade to install radical leftist Marxists, i.e., people with the “correct” ideology and politics into positions so that that institution, whatever it may be, is dominated by Marxists in the end. Using minorities keeps critics at bay who are afraid of being called racists.

“diversity equals incompetence”

Unfortunately for Green, high profile black women in the news come across as low IQ morons which reinforces the stereotype.

If you’re not racist in favor of the preferred groups (Blacks, Hispanics, LGBTQ+, etc.) then you’re a racist.

“maybe she never heard of Martin Luther King Jr.? just guessing.”

He came up with that bothersome “content of character“ thing. It sometimes seems that too few have taken that to heart.
