President Trump has, in an executive cease and desist order, cut off taxpayer dollars to the funding of critical race theory and racist white fragility indoctrination of federal employees. The order quite aptly describes these training sessions as seeking "to undercut our core values as Americans and drive division within our workforce."
It’s a bold move, and one that all Americans who value fairness and equality should applaud. However, there is bound to be fierce resistance to this common sense decision. Granted, we live in the era of Trump Derangement Syndrome—the woke resistance would protest a cure for cancer if Trump endorsed it. But there is another reason why many will oppose the executive order.
Those engaged in the mass reeducation of Americans do not want racism to end. They need racism to be an issue so that they can continue to make money off of claiming they want to eradicate it. In fact, their jobs depend on it. Diversity and inclusion is not simply an altruistic undertaking; it is a way of life for many whose careers and livelihoods depend on it. It is fuelled by massive amounts of money.
The average salary for a diversity and inclusion officer in the US is above $90,000. A quick search of Glassdoor shows that nearly every major company in the US has a diversity and inclusion department, and that they're hiring more people. Executive pay goes up to $146,000, at least.
Cornell, Georgetown, Temple, Yale, USC, and Harvard are just a sampling of the American universities that offer certifications in diversity and inclusion, with Yale charging over $3,000 for an online three-week course.
Companies that engage in diversity and inclusion training for their employees, with lessons in unconscious bias, workshops on white privilege, and struggle sessions on systemic racism spend a combined $8 billion per year on these services, according to McKinsey. Human Resource Management Journal estimated that diversity and inclusion consultants bring in a collective $400-$600 million just in fees.
A conservative estimate of sales for the top eight selling books on anti-racism, Ibram X. Kendhi's How to Be an Antiracist and Stamped from the Beginning, Robin DeAngelo's White Fragility, Bryan Stevenson's Just Mercy, Ijeoma Oluo's So You Want to Talk About Race, Michelle Alexander's The New Jim Crow, Richard Rothstein's The Color of Law, and Layla Saad's Me and White Supremacy total nearly $17 million.
There are online diversity and inclusion workshops for parents, where pearl-clutching moms and dads—let's be honest, mostly moms—pay to hear how to make sure their little white boys, girls, and gender non-binaries grow up to be anti-racist. We've seen school districts across the US and Canada go all in on creating programs to instruct administrators and teachers in critical race theory so that they can enforce it in the classroom.
All told, that's a lot of money, time, and resources put into critical race theory indoctrination across all levels of society. It's no wonder that when Trump signed the much-needed executive order, the entire diversity and inclusion industry took a collective gasp.
In America, the activist class is the privileged class. In workplaces, schools and college campuses across the nation, woke scolds make bank by falsely claiming that there is an epidemic of racism. There isn’t. America is not a racist country. It’s the most inclusive and diverse society in the history of human civilization. These people can only thrive in their synthetic positions if people believe they are sick and need healing. The Orwellian doctrines of "diversity," "inclusion" and "equity" have convinced many that they are ill and are guilty of spreading the sickness. It's fake. It's a hoax.
Trump’s executive order is an essential first step in what must become a nationwide rebuke of critical race theory and social justice indoctrination. All Americans must reject the proposition that we are not equal under the law and in the eyes of God.
Time to post the Booker T Washington quote.
For the first time a POTUS fights back on this issue.
“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”― Booker T. Washington
It is absolutely necessary that he identifies and purges all the people responsible for implementing and approving these programs within the Federal goernment. Unless its done thoughorly these bad weeds will simlpy sprout again.
My husband and his friend, co-worker. (White guys)
On the one hand, our friend asked in a session, how they could stand there lecturing them about diversity when he sees 5 white women talking about it.
My husband, after seeing all the signs and promotions messages for LGBT garbage, wrote to whomever at the plant that he felt threatened and that they created a hostile work environment. The promotionals calmed down.
Great.
Too bad this didn’t happen 4 years ago though.
I work for a large subsidiary of a Fortune 500 company. As far as I know, we do not have a diversity officer. Never had to do any “diversity” training. Harassment training is a one hour online course every couple years. Basically treat others as you want to be treated.
Excuse me whole I throw up.
How can American companies compete when they keep throwing money away to to race hustlers and deranged activists?
Our diversity training was given by a woman with huge breasts. It was quite distracting. She gave a discussion on personal space and to demonstrate how uncomfortable it was, she totally got all up in my face, and asked what I would do if someone invaded my space like that. I responded that I would probably ask the perp out on a date. I got in a wee bit of trouble for that
The only thing outdated about Booker T. Washington’s quote is that it is mostly white people now who do the race hustling. For every Al Sharpton type, there are 10 Nancy Pelosi types.
Great first step against SYSTEMIC MARXISM!
Why doesn't this ban extend to the Dept. of Education?
Bump
“Companies that engage in diversity and inclusion training ...”
“Diversity” simply means “fewer white people.”
Now how about the university campus?
His action is what I hoped he would do, and thought he would never do. Affirmative action, diversity, quotes, racial-set-asides, are all illegal and unconstitutional.
One more thing. When colleges convene, they herd all the Whites into one hall and blacks into another. The Whites are told they are evil, racist, and will be expelled and arrested if a non-White accuses them of placing a banana peel near the Black Students’ Union, or a ham sandwich near the Islamic Students’ Association.
At the same time, the blacks are being told that they are the victims of those evil Whites, and that they can turn the Whites in and get them expelled and arrested for any reason whatsoever, even if they invent it.
Our President is on it, all the time. Great news.
Maybe it ought to be allowed...along WITH courses and ‘programs’ about the Poles, Jews, Irish, Germans, Spanish, Syrians... and all the OTHER minorities in the US! :)
You know...quid pro quo!
