Pop legend Alicia Keys claimed that DEI policies are a “gift” to America as she received the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at Sunday’s Grammy Awards.
After winning the award recognizing her decades in the music industry, Keys called for more “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) in America, not less.
“This is not the time to shut down the diversity of voices,” said Keys on sage. “We’ve seen on this stage talented, hardworking people from different backgrounds with different points of view, and it changes the game. DEI is not a threat, it’s a gift.

Yadda yadda yadda, making the political statement.
She needs to recuse herself. We don’t have a DEI program for honkies.
Liberals are not interested in diversity of opinion, only of skin color and sex
She nailed it! “DEI is a gift”
Seeing that we say DEI stands for “Didn’t Earn It,” any benefit from it IS a gift.
She has unicorn skittles for brains.
What’s scary is that the show business people seriously think they are not only somehow special people, but that their ideations and judgments are genuinely superior to those of the rest of us.
A gift? Did it come with a receipt? And a money-back guarantee?
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.
Really?
I have a 3 and 1/2 octave voice.
How come I don’t have your fame and fortune?
Because you go to any church within a mile of me and there other singers just as good or better.
I’m a white guy and will sing Luther Vandross, James Ingram or John Secada songs if it pleases the DEI gawds...
Is she on the board of Costco?
Does it come with a bow?
"The Dr. Goebbels Impact Award"!
It is a gift - to Trump.
DEI is a gift to Trump and the Republicans
A gift to the unqualified, maybe; but a hinderance to those who Did Earn It. They’ll always be suspect.
Well, her daddy buys her everything.
Yep. DEI: Discrimination, Exclusion and Intolerance. It's all the Left really knows.
Put up or shut up.
“DEI is not a threat, it’s a gift.”
She’s right....to minorities that would, otherwise, not be considered for a job based purely on merit.
It’s DEFINITELY a threat to straight white men with merit, they will be unjustly passed over for DEI hires.
She’s basically saying it’s not a threat TO HER and people LIKE HER.
The ironic part, call ANY OF THEM A DEI HIRE AND THEY’LL EXPLODE. Either DEI is a good thing, or a bad thing, it can’t be both to the same people.
So, our challenge to such statements should be to ask, “So you say DEI is a good thing, can you give a name of somebody you believe it helped?”. GIVE US NAMES!! I BET THEY WON’T...because they know what it means to label somebody a DEI hire!!! It’s all you need to know!
