We're back in Jim Crow times except in reverse.
There shouldn't be any confusion about what big businesses everywhere mean when they tout "diversity and inclusion." But to clear up any potential misunderstanding that may exist, consider the following incident, recounted by Stephen R. Soukup in his new book, The Dictatorship of Woke Capital.
In 2019, as Rupert Darwell writes at The Epoch Times, the general counsel for the National Center for Public Policy Research, Justin Danhof, "tabled a shareholder proposal at Amazon's annual meeting." It read, "Diversity in board composition is best achieved through highly qualified candidates with a wide range of skills, experience, beliefs, and board independence from management." For his trouble, he was "booed and heckled throughout his presentation" and later accused by a representative for Arjuna Capital of "trying to protect white males."
That's what "diversity and inclusion" really means in the business world today. The phrase is little more than a euphemism to justify the exclusion of white men.
I don't know how we reached a point where this must be explained, but white men aren't a homogeneous category of inherently similar human beings with a racially determined set of traits, experiences, skills, beliefs, or financial status. The suggestion that they are is a blatantly racist proposition.
But somehow, we've also reached a point where it is thought to be morally righteous to take the openly racist position that making one's corporate board less composed of white guys is to fundamentally make it better. After all, as many employees of Coca-Cola learned recently, to be less white is to be less oppressive, arrogant, and ignorant while also being humbler and better listeners.
None of that's true. It's subjective and unequivocally racist nonsense. What this is truly about is empowering non-white people by denigrating white men

What is next, breathing while white? Whites are the new Jews. The scapegoats for all of society’s ills.
Correction: conservatives are the new Jews.
Well, yes. There is that.
If corporations truly perform better when they look like their customers , the NFL and NBA need to eliminate half of black players, and hire slow white guys like me who can’t jump.
Correction: patriots the new Jews.
The Looting and plunder of Jewish property for the SS, the German war effort and the German populace at large was central to the persecution of the Jews.
If anyone thinks this will end without major bloodshed, they had better think again. These people have cemented their hatred for the feared white boogie man. They aren’t likely to just change their minds. It’s happened before. This time it’s different. They have ramped up the hatred before disarming the objects of the hatred.
What this is truly about is empowering non-white people by denigrating white men
