Americans established Martin Luther King, Jr. Day to celebrate the man and his righteous quest for all Americans to have equal justice under the law. MLK Day reminds us that anyone can succeed in America if they have hope and resolve. The day also commemorates the beauty of King's vision of Americans living together in harmony.
But the woke activists now pushing "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI) initiatives across the country effectively reach the opposite of every positive belief King held. From encouraging riots to abandoning the vision of a color-blind America, today's woke activists have no legitimate right to act as champions of King's legacy.
Diversity activists today do not want a color-blind America. In fact, they want to stoke racial divisions by embracing the Jim Crow tradition of race-based discrimination.
As King wisely noted, "That old law about 'an eye for an eye' leaves everybody blind. The time is always right to do the right thing."
But DEI proponents claim the route to "equity"—a term they have used to supplant genuine equality—requires affirmative racial discrimination in reverse. It is not enough to provide equal opportunity for all Americans; corporations, universities, and other organizations must prioritize race, even if they do so to the detriment of everything else.
At its foundation, DEI does not support the notion that all men are created equal.

Now I do not know if Jim Crow is good or bad.
Color me cornfused
“A surprising article for Newsweek!”
yes, they’ve run some good pieces lately. Maybe they are trying to actually be “balanced”.
Or maybe they got tired of hemorrhaging readers....”Go woke, go broke” may finally be having the desired effect.
Reverse racism is old. It started officially decades ago with Affirmative Action, which is blatant racism against whites.
“Opinion”
What?
A truly accurate opinion from Newsweek?
Newsweak?
