The War on DEI is Identity Politics

[Woodznutz]

Whites, specifically right wing white men, need to shut the fuck up.

You've got it backwards. All have the Constitutional right to speak their minds. You have the right not to listen. However, you choose to listen until you disagree, then you tell the speaker to shut up. Thank God you're not in any position of power.

Why Trump’s war on DEI is so diabolical​

The assault on DEI is based on a misleading caricature of these policies and their beneficiaries. It is an attack on well-established principles of equality, based on highly dubious interpretations of the law. And it is designed to bully employers and educators into dangerous and potentially unlawful overcompliance.

Opponents often characterize DEI as “preferences” or “special treatment.” But attacks on DEI threaten a wide range of policies that seek to realize the promise of civil rights law: to advance equal opportunity for all Americans. These benefit not only women, people of color and gay and transgender individuals, but also military veterans, people from impoverished or rural areas, religious minorities and first-generation professionals. DEI policies combat harassment and retaliation. They open the workplace to pregnant and caregiving employees and to persons with disabilities.

Critics define DEI as being in opposition to merit. But DEI’s purpose is exactly the opposite: to remove barriers and biases and ensure that employment opportunities are based on the ability to perform one’s job — not on arbitrary factors such as race, sex, religious beliefs, ancestry or country of origin. At its best, DEI benefits everyone by making workplaces fairer and more accessible. Many business and military leaders believe that diversity bolsters their organizations’ performance and profits.

The right made DEI about race then claimed the left uses identity politics because they are called out for doing so. This has been what Republicans have been doing for years. Maybe it's time REPUBLICANS stopped using identity politics to fearmonger and divide.

DEI is not based on equality. It's very foundation is inequality, favoring minorities, women, and LGBT.
Ketanji Brown Jackson is one of the most egregious example of DEI failure. Unqualified and unintelligent while sitting on the highest court.

Heritage President: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson Is Not Qualified for Supreme Court

WASHINGTON—President Joe Biden announced the appointment of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court today, appeasing left-wing special interest groups and fulfilling a campaign promise of using race and sex to determine his nominee. Heritage President Kevin Roberts made the...

The only barrier to black employment is the fact that by every objective, measurable criterion Negroes tend to be much less intelligent on the average than whites and East Asians.

That's untrue, you've been lied to but since you are convinced these liars are not liars you fall for their lies.

You alone are responsible for what you believe, for what you tell others is true, you are accountable for your actions in this life and that includes telling lies.

I think they are captives of their 'hidden' culture more than anything else.

I am actually disgusted, sickened to read this today

Arlington Cemetery strips content on black and female veterans from website

The Army-run cemetery said it is working to follow Trump's orders on ending diversity while restoring information.

www.bbc.com

Some here will insist this is not racism, and that any appearance it might have to that is purely coincidental, but we're all adults here, so when will trump devotees admit this? what will it take for them to be honest?

A black man who refused to fight is despised for it (Muhamad Ali) and yet at the same time a black man who did fight is now dismissed, airbrushed out as being nothing more than a fake.

Do not react by saying I'm a typical "leftie" or "commie" and so on, this is serious, this is the increasing acceptability of racism in this country and unless stopped will get worse.

Pathetic. The election of Trump is whites trying to return America to Jim Crow. They can lie nd try plausible deniability all they want, but it is apparent, and it looks like right-wing whites want to start a fight they really don't want. They are notthe majrtyof Amercns and f they think they can rey n race t get it done there re millions of whites who oppose this shit.

Oh for the love of gawd. Face reality you fraud.

DEI is nothing more than “affirmative action” repackaged.

It was marginally less absurd when it first got trotted out.

Now, after the passage of time, it’s ts gotten even dumber

It is the idiotic belief that not address the present day effects of past discrimination, we must now use racial preference as a tool to achieve “fairness”. So, to rectify past racism, we need to engage in modern racism.

It is antithetical to what we actually ought to be: a colorblind society.

Modern day black racism opposes color blindness because racists will be racist.

You are the racist. Thereis no modern-day black racism, and YOU are not colorblind. Whites have continued giving themselves racial preferences, you don't seem to get this fact. So you're just another dumb ass who is arguing based on how you feel when the reality says how you feel is not how things are.

The war is over. Trump and conservatives won. We are now at the stage of rounding up the surviving rebels so they can be hung in public. Theres a few left out there, but we are hunting them down quickly. The complete purge of DEI is almost done.

DEI is a way for less qualified applicants to get additional points on applications-based sex, skin color, and various other traits that have nothing to do with the job.

Less qualified whites have been hired for 249 years. That's why I say that right wing whites need to STFU.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

SCOTUS will rule on DEI much like it did on it's predecessor Affirmation Action

News flash. Most purged by DOGE are white workers.

Less qualified whites have been hired for 249 years.

so, your plan is to legally force the hiring of less qualified Blacks?

cutting or your nose to spite your face is NOT good business sense.

I know that trump devotees likely never watch foreign movies, it is likely a punishable offense in Maga world.

But I watched a movie yesterday entitled I'm still here - about the time in Brazil when fascism became fashionable and people were sometimes "arrested" and never seen again. The story is true and it sent shudders down my spine because today in the United States of America I am seeing the very real potential for the same to happen here.

It's a well acted movie, families are families and this family is like many American families, parents and kids loving each other and trying to get through their lives.

The United States has historically been somewhat shy when it comes to making politically honest movies, but the rest of the world is not, most people outside the USA know what dictators and despots are like, but here, the pacified masses are oblivious which is why watching a movie like this is so important.

 

[IM2]

SCOTUS will rule on DEI much like it did on it's predecessor Affirmation Action

And white women will lose more equality. You are rooting for your return to the kitchen.

YOur silly panic mongering is dumb.

Trump is a return to rule of law after the lawfare abuses of Biden.

Fuck DGE. Whites voted for this. So don't whine.

If what I said makes you panic then good, that's a start.

Trump is a return to rule of law after the lawfare abuses of Biden.

A time is coming when you will have to say these kinds of things, now, today it's optional, just a fun "debate" but as time is coming when you will have to speak this way and have no choice.

Fascism has never simply appeared overnight, it is slow, step by step, each step accompanied by some propaganda like "a return to the rule of law" and so on, then a year later it dawns on you you're living in a different world, a world that you actually don't like.

But we're talking about less qualified blacks, like you.

It would. If I hadn't noticed years ago that the shit you libs say, is nonsense.

A time is coming when you will have to say these kinds of things, now, today it's optional, just a fun "debate" but as time is coming when you will have to speak this way and have no choice.

That's dumb. It is your side that likes to demand people say what you want them to say. Our side is the one of freedom of speech. Your lies are made for the dumb.

Fascism has never simply appeared overnight, it is slow, step by step, each step accompanied by some propaganda like "a return to the rule of law" and so on.

Your side just ignored the statue of limitations so that you could charge Trump with 34 felonies.

Trump is the return of the rule of law from yours side's abuses.
