On Wednesday’s CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish and her panel managed to recast enforcement of federal civil rights law under Donald Trump as “enforcing ideology,” while a Democratic consultant insisted that DEI “was never a problem” until Trump took office.
[snip]
Host Audie Cornish framed the issue this way:
“What it means is the actual government now is involved in enforcing a different ideology, so to speak.”
No. It means the federal government is enforcing the law. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
They only want Congress to pass laws they can campaign on, but no really enforce?
So when someone takes an oath to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed," that's just "ideology" and not a constitutional obligation of the office?

AA’s are ~ 13% or less of the population.
In a panel of 4, that means that statistically, there should be ZERO of them for “proportionate representation”.
But this panel makes it look like they’re half the population.
No wonder they don’t think DEI was a problem!
Liberty requires equality, but equity is an anathema to Liberty.
Law and Order — only one of our political parties believes in it.
They had it reversed, it was Obama and Biden imposing an ideology (DEI) in more or less of an extra-legal framework.
The constitution has as one of its major pillars the statement that all are created equal. Granted, at the time this was written, blacks and women (and native Americans) were not considered equal. But at no time would the constitution ever have stated, some are more equal than others. That was the foundation of DEI, not only are various groups equal, but they were to be treated as superior to equal. One could argue this to be the mirror image of the original constitution which did not extend equality to all Americans at that time. But it is a perverted intent to create justice with injustice. Justice was served when various groups caught up to the full equality of white men granted in the original document. It can be noted that the process was largely complete by 1920. There has been some further refinement but for all intents and purposes, all citizens and legal residents of the U.S. have been equal for all of their present natural lives. What they make of that equality is their personal choice.
Loved DC Grandma! At the WH with Trump. Passionate lady.
Forget it, Jake. It’s CNN.
"...intersections with race, ethnicity, coloniality, class and ability, the sex/gender system of oppression has long served as a taxonomizing apparatus. And yet, the literary, in league with anticolonial, civil rights and LGBTQ social movements,...animates the liberatory potential of imagining embodied relations otherwise... representations of gender and sexuality can leverage critiques against normativity...
Taking our transnational cue from subjugated knowledges and intersectional epistemologies, we’ll constellate the diverging genealogies and methodologies...
Against the traffic of binary opposition, we’ll index the possibilities of intimacy and performativity... As a class collective, our aim is to read and reread as well as write and rewrite texts that interrogate and complicate how gender and sexuality, as contested sites of pleasure and pain, are embodied and experienced."

Yes: she was awesome: told it like it is. Imagine the libs out there freaking out to hear the truth plainly spoken!
Am I getting the Chinatown reference? :-)
DEI is a big reason he got elected in 2024.
