DEI Must Go

In 1968, author Shelby Steele was working in East St. Louis, as a “proud warrior” in President Johnson’s War on Poverty. The 1964 Civil Rights Act and Johnson’s Great Society unleashed a wave of optimism for black Americans that justice was coming. “The government that oppressed us only yesterday would now engineer our uplift” Steele said, but it didn’t take him long to discover the hard truth. “Black development was not the focus of justice. Taking advantage of White Guilt was the focus.”

Steele, who had studied race his entire life, would write about “White Guilt” over the next five decades, because Democrats have been cultivating it ever since. If you’re scoring at home, the White Guilt scorecard includes, among other things, the devastating effects of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), responsible for robbing generations of children the love and stability fathers deliver in the home—incentivizing the “baby mama” culture of government dependency ensnared millions of blacks into lives of chaos, violence, and generational poverty—as well as the shift toward union-run public schools that favor the demands of teachers’ unions over the education of children...

...

Steele concludes, “One overriding truth: We never use race, except as a means to power. Race is never an end. It is always a means. It has no role in human affairs, except as a corruption.”

The latest “corruption” is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. DEI is an incarnation of Critical Race Theory, the controversial 1970’s theory from legal scholars Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Richard Delgado, and others. What is that? CRT critic James Lindsay informs us that CRT is cultural Marxism that subjugates whites as oppressors and blacks as perpetual victims. The goal? Find racism in literally everything. And so it does.

Remember well that LBJ INTENDED welfare to trap blacks on the leftist plantation:

“I’ll have those n**gers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”

Here's one more tiny tidbit (still not violating the Fair Use law):

[DEI] is the complete opposite of what all coaches of sports, business, and life have taught for centuries: To overcome adversity and persevere against the odds. To fight through pain, to come back stronger after disappointment and loss. To rise up after rejection, objection, failure, job loss, bankruptcy, divorce, and death of loved ones.

It’s not how many times you get knocked down. It’s how many times you get back up.

—Rocky Balboa

DEI teaches you to stay there. Defeated. Curled up in a ball like a victim in search of microaggressions. Weak. It’s a Trojan Horse of destructive lies, devoid of objective and Biblical truth, robbing parents of their agency over their children.

If Trump wins today in a landslide, DEI can join the media’s funeral procession.

DEI is small change compared to the cost and mayhem that would happen if the left ever got reparations going.

I recommend Didn't Earn It (DEI) remain in perpetuity. Don't bury the crime.

List it proudly after any employee's and politician's name, like "Esq" or "PhD" as in:

Sonia Maria Sotomayor, DEI
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States

Inequality trumps DEI

[BigFreakinToad]

it’ll be the law of the land after today.

Good decent people in this country (the majority) have learned well and made every attempt to repair the damage done by the democrat party. There is NO “inequality”.
The left’s DEI nonsense will, likewise, be rejected and its divisions will heal.

[CodeToad]

Love the suggestion!

DEI is on its way out. It will take 24 months to gain momentum.

I would like to see Boeing ditch it, but I’m not optimistic. They dumped their DEI hires into QA (and guess what suffered as a result?) The DEI hires aren’t engineers so they can’t do the engineering work, and they can’t be managers because they don’t know the aircrafts inside and out. So that leaves two places to dump them: HR and QA, and HR is full.
