DEI = Racism

[just bob]

WOW ....there'll be less firefighters in NYC if they have to put up w/this BS decision.
Democrats instill the most unpopular asinine ridiculous policies for workers that everyone hates them & when they get feedback or called out on their asinine policies they punish their workers so bad for speaking up that they end up having a shortage of employees to fill the jobs needed. Leave blue cities that are run by the Democratic idiot officials.

Surprised there are any firefighters or decent police officers left.

In other words...give us our pure racism advantage or else we walk...

Uhhh what?

DEI is about awareness and change to not continue to put discriminated demographics at a disadvantage, not about giving anyone an advantage. Maybe I interpreted that comment wrong, but it seems insensitive at best and incredibly discriminatory and racist if I’m being quite honest.

Hahah

DEI is about advancing the critical social justice movement. It's activism. It's premise is that we live under a systemically white supremacist western world that must be dismantled. It is their ideological nonsense purogative and it doesn't have to be forced on anyone and denying it has nothing to do with accepting a diverse group of people. Just denying their ACTIVISM. Getting rid of that gets us back on track to accept people SOLEY on the content of their character not the color of their skin.

Besides? Oh is Florida gonna sign more white players now? They have a secret white supremacist agenda to sign more white players because they hate blacks? They're gonna say no to all the incredible black talent in that state because they don't have a bs DEI program?

I think you need to read up on what DEI is and what it is trying to manufacture.

DEI is the mechanism by which we get University Administrators stating before Congress that “calls for Jewish genocide might be bad - depending on the context”

You sound like a conspiracy theorist.

Btw I’m not in favor of dismantling anything. I’m in favor of encouraging being open to and attempt to hear voices others than our own to promote conversation that can lead to recognizing truths and implementing incremental changes for the betterment of society for all peoples.

I’m not even going to address the last paragraph. That’s a bunch of nonsense.

Please explain and cite references for the 2nd paragraph. I’m Jewish and that has never been the opinion I’ve held of DEI efforts.

Genocide is bad in every case, regardless of context.

I’m open to hearing the criticism for DEI, but the premise is to me is not about tearing down white supremacy but rather building up underrepresented and discriminated peoples. The two are not mutually exclusive.

And far lefts supporting the cleverly disguised Jewish hate of hamas (under the guise of Palestinian liberation) just shows their misunderstanding of the circumstances and inability to take all facts into consideration while hearing and following a narrative that gets repeated from certain news outlets. Hamas rules over Palestinians but does not actually speak for them. It’s a fallacy in the premise that leads to anti-Jewish “pro Palestinian” rhetoric. Theres no israel-Palestine conflict. There’s Jews and there’s every demographic and country around them that wants to erase them and thus Israel from the planet “in the name of god”.

Well let me start here.

Are you familiar with the Congressional hearings where the Presidents of Harvard, Penn, & MIT testified on rising Antisemitism on US campuses?

All 3 were asked if calling for Jewish genocide would be a violation of their respective Codes of Conduct.

All 3 replied that it would “depend on the context”.

Um no I'm not a conspiracy theorist. Literally just read where that stuff comes from dude.

I know you're not for dismantling "the system" you are an old school liberal, but this stuff does not come from that school of thought.

Yeah and the far lefties that are pro palestines are the same people putting in DEI legislation.

Eh I don’t consider myself anything really. I hate identity politics. I fall most closely in the moderate/libertarian camp, fiscally conservative and socially liberal space, or not at all (jaded and disencouraged voter). I’ve never voted for a democrat since I’ve been able to vote. I voted for a republican twice, then a libertarian, then nobody. This year, I don’t want to “waste” my voting privilege and right, so I’ll probably vote libertarian as an f you to the system.

I knew of the rise of antisemitism in recent years, especially on social elite and “prestigious” campuses. I was unaware of this hearing. Guess I’ve been living under a rock focusing on my own sh!t.

Thanks for this. Faith in the world knocked down a notch, shocker.

That’s horrifying

 

[ButchPlz]

I love the dude dropping in telling us what DEI is "supposed to be" without actually having experienced it's implementation or seen anything about how it actually functions.

 

[Adam Sandler]

So where does DEI actually stem from?

Because I think there are many demographics that would say they face different challenges that the concept of DEI could help by raising awareness and changing the rhetoric or lackthereof. A black person does not face the same challenges as a Jew. Blacks are suppressed by monetary and geographical systems of inequality with communities, and the wrongful use of natural prejudice in the workplace. Jews are suppressed by religious fear mongering and outright propaganda aimed with the intent to cause mass inclinination towards physical and social harm or worse.

It feels to me that DEI should aid both these demographics. But apparently it’s not. So is it a case of DEI being born out of wrongful intent or those with wrongful intent have adopted and bastardized the movement to appeal to their own agendas? Someone more knowledge please give me your best cliff notes.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Good point.

"Burn it down" is a VN classic. Your magnum opus.

This is a pretty epic rant .
Marcus was on a roll

Charlotte NC...a city that I live 5 miles outside of...passed a local ordinance yesterday saying that LGBT weirdos can use public restrooms of the sex that they choose to identify as at that particular moment. It is discrimination to prevent them from doing so, and now against the law..

So now if we go into the city and my wife or daughter needs to use the bathroom, some cross dressing weirdo with a penis can legally be in the bathroom with my girls potentially exposing them to a member of the opposite sex. Of course, if this were ever to happen there would be serious consequences and repercussions that I will dole out as I see fit. Screw that law when it comes to my girls. Or a bull dyke. Making my son uncomfortable as he attempts to use a public restroom for that matter.

This liberal sespool, long known to be gau friendly like Atlanta, has finally jumped the shark. I hope that God burns it to the ground like Sodom and Gomorrah. Today. I am in the city for work, but my wife and kids are in the neighboring county where we live. So please God, light it up. Hellfire.Brimstone. let's see the real definition of fireworks and set an example for the nation.

I am a tolerant person. Live and let live. 2hat people choose to do in their bedrooms is their business, not mine. Honestly don't care if they can legally get "married". God knows what marriage is..he invented it ..and that account will be settled later on just like my own sinful account. This is different. This is not a private personal matter. This is letting the wolves into the pasture with my sheep, and other sheep just like mine. It is ridiculous...and a slap to God's face from local leaders. I hope that the judgment is swift and unmistakably His doing so that there is no question as to what happened and why. Make me SICK.

Eh go f yourself. My posts got redirected here, not by choice.

And I’ve seen it in my workplace and in the community and seen nothing but good conversations born from it. Now I’m being made aware that it’s being used for more evil agendas and yeah, I focus on my own circles where I have influence so I haven’t seen that stuff in practice except on the news, which I try to avoid at all costs generally.

I'm friends with a Harvard grad and she is super ashamed of her school now. It's sad.

my thinking is its like most things in government. by the time it gets enough support to matter its been corrupted. the road to hell is paved with good intentions and all of that. as people see a movement rise up, they will want to attach as many special interest groups, personal biases as they can, and really just look for ways to empower themselves and take advantage of the movement instead of being devoted to the movement itself. even actual practitioners aren't going to be immune to their own biases and experiences.

inflated bureaucracies and no term limits are a large part of the problem imo. no term limits ensure that the elected politicians don't have to actually stay loyal to the mission, and with that much concentrated power they are able influence most things to make themselves more powerful. term limits would decrease the amount of power, and thus influence to corrupt a single person would have. unfortunately the bureaucracies are still there, no elections, no accountability, no limits, no real oversite. these days the bureaucracies have the ability to make changes to policy without public input, regardless of what the laws actually say because we have put them in charge of the laws. for them DEI is just another layer of red tape they can use to stop things from working the way they should, and push them the way they want. which typically isn't in the direction of the original movement, the way the public support, or even what the politicians want.

More than you think. Teenagers get a lot of their info from places like tiktok and it's a very popular topic on the platform.

My kids certainly do...but they are my kids and nobody ever accused me of being "normal" so I dont really have a frame of reference...
