How DEI cleaves American politics
The New Statesman ^ | 2/1/25 | Freddie Hayward

Posted on 02/01/2025 1:38:05 PM PST by DallasBiff

The message Democratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries’ chose to convey in his press conference on 22 January, two days into Donald Trump’s second administration, was that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) were “American values”. When I asked him how that could be true when half the country had voted against the party touting DEI programmes, his answer epitomised the Democrats’ post-election confusion.

“It’s not my understanding, based on anything that I’ve seen, that support for diversity, equity and inclusion had anything to do with the results in November,” he began, blaming the “high cost of living” and the “[failure] of working together to secure the border”. “Diversity, equity and inclusion are American values,” he reiterated. “Perhaps I can explain. The motto of the United States of America is E pluribus unum – out of many, one. That’s diversity. The 14th amendment to the United States constitution, one of the most important amendments in our country, provides equal protection under the law. That’s equity. In this country, we pledge allegiance to the flag… in that pledge, we promise one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all – A-L-L – that’s inclusion. Not complicated.” And with that, he ended the press conference.

“Equity” means stealing stuff from white people—and then killing them.

Morons. DEI causes an increased cost of living. Hiring dead wood and inefficient workers increases costs.

DEI cleaves....

It was not the kind of cleavage male FReepers hoped to see.

Title is misleading;
Democrats aren’t Americans They are Democrats occupying our country. The rest of us are Americans being VERY tolerant
of that invasion.

Agreed. The "equity" blacks need is for the same portion of black kids as white kids to live with two parents. According to https://www.aecf.org/blog/child-well-being-in-single-parent-families, 63% of black kids live in single-parent homes, compared to 24% of white kids.

Until that changes, forget average equal outcomes for blacks.

They are not morons.

Perhaps with time, you will see that the results you posit are their exact goals. They believe it has to be torn down by workers before as Obama argues, it can be rebuilt

They don't mind it's being evil or satanic. They sell it to their minions for its effectiveness.

It's been working so well in Zimbabwe and South Africa, after all!

Does DEI cleave together or cleave apart?

Rush Limbaugh use to call what the Alt Left does as “get even with’emism”

DIE isn’t about justice or fairness or leveling the playing field. It about the Alt Left getting “even” with the US based on their perceptions of historic grievances.

So, did Skyhook change where he was going to fight it out with us from the streets, to the local Walmarts? That way the bass turds can kill two birds with one stone. Loot, shoot and scoot.
