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.

So, Alicia... are you saying that your talents wouldn't be known without DEI programs? Are you saying that non-minority talents should continue to be hidden in favor of minority talents? Are you saying that those other points of view and background don't have the talent required to get attention? Please clarify for us.

“Pop legend Alicia Keys”

No idea who that is.

[Qwapisking]

could SOMEBODY possibly gift her a brain?

‘Pop legend Alicia Keys claimed that DEI policies are a “gift” to America’

Especially to a DEI hire.

[Red Badger]

Yeah, ‘gift’, like a fruitcake...............

She had an entire video category on a recent jeopardy. Nobody wanted to choose her

I couldn’t look at her.

She wore a tight leather shirt with big puffed sleeves. It squeezed her to where she looked like some kind of a mutilated American girl doll.

Asking a question she went in and on and on.

Holy crap. What is wrong with her?

When I’m with family and they whine about not wanting to go to church with me I stare in disbelief. They sit for this crap then complain that church is a waste of time

[rktman]

Special treatment is NOT equal treatment!

[Fai Mao]

Who is Alicia Keys, seriously, is she an entertainer of some kind?

[Orosius]

My life’s ambition is now to be a humble recipient of a Dr. Dre Global Impact Award. So much better than the Nobel.

[jonrick46]

These Marxists are doubling down and with it will wreck the music industry.

[1Old Pro]

So obsessed with race and skin color

You bet, and when the one clown on stage told Black girls to be Black girls I could see the Black racists in the audience cheer, like Gayle King, host of CBS Mornings for Blacks.

[jonrick46]

Judging from the response of praise by those at the Grammys, Keys comments are well accepted. Morons.

[Sicon]

"DEI is not a threat"

Hmmm, I think a lot of straight white men might disagree.

[Daveinyork]

Legend?

[wildcard_redneck]

Sticking it to whitey is fun! What a racist bitch.

[No name given]

Like a good little commie.

[No name given]

Which proves that they’re actually Marxists.

[No name given]

That wouldn’t be a surprise at all.

[cgbg]

She is celebrating stolen goods...

[No name given]

Which shows where their hearts and priorities are.
