Brava!

Discrimination exclusion and Intimidation.
I hope these people, one day, while being prep for surgery, ask that the surgeon who will be cutting them open be one who was hired because of DEI.
Diversity OR inclusion? It can’t be both, so which is it? We all know the answer but I’m curious how many more 4 syllable words you can use to lie. Pathetic
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
I discriminate against the stupid.
I see diversity inclusion equality...DIE. Ask for diversity in your airline pilots? Not merit first?
Merit and accomplishment will always be the gold standard. If you want the job, earn it, put the work in. No one wants a diversity hire pilot at 36,000 feet in a thunderstorm.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 pathetic.

What an awesome program! Great video Terry!
This is awesome!!!
Is this still available?
Reject this bullshit. I will not comply. Go F yourself
Sure, send a drag queen into my kid's school to twerk his nasty ass in my kid's face. See what happens.
interesting ~ want more views?~ 😊
Which means, 'Straight White Male= Evil' , everyone else ok!!!!!!!!!
Great points! I love how you point out a way to look at this different from what we are taught to do by society!
Diversity equity and inclusion: Destroy all straight white men. That's the plan. No matter how much better qualified they may well be... cus cus privilege reasons and stuff....
Wise and practical words from a wise and practical man. As per usual!
You dumb idiots are in fact promoting racism. This social communist garbage goes against everything Dr Martin Luther King was for. So sickening.
Thanks for sharing to understand Fluxx. I am searching for my learning purposes. 👍🎉🤩

To All Black Community Leaders across America and future Community Leaders I just wanted to honor you this morning for all that you do and what you're planning to do for your Community..I know it takes alot of money and participation to get things going but there's also alot of things that don't require money that will get the people moving...Since everybody wants to be so Gangster you can have your Community break up in groups and choose a color and have them tackle the different problems in the Community..they can also have fun with growing their teams that way...And with their brother/sister hood getting tighter they will come together a figure out how to make some money so they start building the Commy back together in Jesus Mighty I wanna be in the Green team😁 God Bless you and your Community 🦅
I love this. It also applies to how we talk about ourselves. For example, instead of first seeing or talking about myself as a "marginalized person", I talk about the things I aspire to achieve, become, etc. in my life. Then I can talk about the challenges standing in my way. Does this apply to self as well?
thank you. Clarity .Just learned about Trabian Shorters listening to NPR. Exactly what I needed to hear to move forwrad.~ Jodi
