    Script:
    Twenty or fifty or even a hundred years ago, if you asked someone which of the world’s countries was the most diverse, most equitable, and most inclusive, they would have almost certainly answered “the United States.”
    Not anymore.
    What changed?
    Well, nothing… and everything.
    Nothing in the sense that America is still the opportunity-rich place it’s always been.
    And everything because the progressive left has hijacked those three words-diversity, equity, and inclusion-and turned them into weapons of mass destruction. This DEI trio makes up the neutron bomb that has laid waste to a good part of our educational and corporate institutions.
    Given the damage that has been done, it might be a good idea to see what these words used to mean and what they mean now.
    Diversity used to mean that people of different backgrounds were free to join a group or association.
    Equity used to mean enforcing equal standards for all individuals and groups.
    Inclusion used to mean allowing people of every background and identity to participate in a group or association.
    Now, in their DEI context, these words all mean one thing: applying unequal standards to ensure preferential outcomes for individuals and groups based on race, sex, and gender identity.
    The DEI movement is not about a sincere desire to make educational or corporate institutions more diverse, more equitable, or more inclusive.
    If you don’t believe me, try having an open discussion on your company message board or at your next DEI seminar about why the same standards should apply to everyone, everywhere, regardless of race, sex, or gender identity.
    Try that and you know what will happen: You’ll be shouted down, shunned, reprimanded, and maybe fired.
    DEI is ultimately about only one thing: advancing those who are not white, heterosexual, and male at the expense of white, heterosexual men, regardless of their respective qualifications.
    If you say, well, that’s fine because white, heterosexual men had too many advantages for too long, then I would ask: What about all the women, gays, blacks, and Latinos who were born into privilege? Should they be recipients of special DEI preferences?
    And when do we know we’ve reached a DEI endpoint? When do we know that everything is finally diverse, equitable and inclusive?
    There are no good answers to any of these questions. That’s a feature, not a bug of the DEI racket. America will never be able to DEI its way out of its DEI “problem.” It’s the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You never reach your goal because it doesn’t exist. You’ll never quite be diverse enough, equitable enough or inclusive enough.
    The DEI obsession has been great for one group of people and one group only: The lavishly paid DEI administrators at every Fortune 100 company, college, and university; and all those who work under them.
    Corporations now pay millions upon millions of dollars to so-called DEI experts to spread division and distrust among their own employees. It may be the single most non-productive, self-destructive thing a business can do to itself. But businesses, to their everlasting shame, are doing it anyway.
    They think they’re trapped. If they don’t set up a DEI office, that proves their company is racist, sexist and homophobic. But if they do set up a DEI office, that proves their company is racist, sexist and homophobic. Or why else did they set up a DEI office in the first place?
    Heads DEI wins, tails you lose.

    Rural Community Assistance Corporation based in CA is one of these organizations. I worked for them and they hired a "DEI" consulting firm (lol I know) to go through all of our departments to assess and see if we were "diverse" enough as an organization. I asked how they were making these determinations, and it was by names... My father was adopted and I am half Arabic but my name is as white as they come, and I was labeled a "white guy..." so many flaws in this logic it is insane. They then forced us to attend DEI meetings where they crammed socialist and LGBT rhetoric down our throat. They are given almost unlimited State and Federal funding which is used for this propaganda... its abhorrent.

    Don't get me started. After I graduated college, I went to work for a well known company who had instituted "Affirmative Action" in a major way. Most of my coworkers were 10 to 15 yrs older than me, and most had no post secondary education. There was a wide range of abilities - some were great at what they did, some were average, and some made me wonder how they ever got the job. The 3rd group was a real drag on the productivity of the organization at every level because they were either apathetic, chronically lazy and/or missing whenever you needed them, or just difficult to deal with. I was one of the youngest in the department and I tried to learn as much as I could. I kept to myself and tried to avoid having to deal with Group #3. Fast forward to 2022 (my 35th yr in the corporate world. I've been working at a different (major) company for just over 20 yrs. Approximately 5 yrs ago this new wave of "Diversity hires" started trickling into my workplace. It's like deja vu all over again but this time around it's much worse because of the ATTITUDE that these people exhibit. Even more frustrating is that the hands of management are tied because these people are "fire proof" and they will complain and litigate in a NY minute if they dislike their job or perceive they are being forced to do any more than they feel like doing. Meanwhile, those who are capable are being pressured to do more and it's often to clean up what was not done correctly (or at all) by those who were hired just because...

I asked him if he ever experienced discrimination and he told me the only people who ever discouraged him were members of his own race who felt his hard work was making them look bad.

      Agreed, and there is no way to convince them. We are "damned if we do" and "damned if we don't", even according to this video. It is all about the argument itself for these narcissists. In my opinion, the better solution is to not engage, and separate into like minded people as much as possible. I'm not sure how this will play out in real life though.

      @WillKarst ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, this entire charade starts with a word, racism, redefined to allow them to claim they cannot be racist, because they are not a member of a majority group with power. They are so deluded to believe that they are incapable of being guilty of practicing racism while they do it in real time against you. The purpose of their tactic, is to put a white person who doesn't realize they are a benefactor of a racist system on defense, go ahead and try to prove a negative is what they want you to do. Proving that you're NOT a bigot, white supremacist, racist, misogynist, is basically impossible for anyone, and they know that. They want you to reply "But I have black friends or I dated a minority person" Now you're expressing white fragility, and they can use that hammer on you too.

Because I don’t have to walk on eggshells, I can be myself. I don’t have to worry about conforming to things that make no sense like a click. I am values by my work, not my church attendance or the color of my skin. I think it’s not made for us, it surely wasn’t made by us. It’s a front, a facade. Like BLM. Or the Nation of Islam for example, even Malcom saw it. In word, on paper, it works. but in practice it is a scam to screen the actual issue from coming to light. It’s like solving the homeless crisis by giving them more money from my taxes, cuz that’s what they need….right?

    I applied for Police Officer in my city back in the 1990s. First, I had to contact the Minority Recruiting Unit...yes that is what all applicants had to do, regardless of skin color. I am white. So I thought, "ok, no biggie". Then when I got to the testing station, there was a huge sign that read, "Minorities and women encouraged to apply". I knew right then that I stood no chance. But I took the test anyway...big surprise I failed, right? The very first question was "Please check your race/for research purposes only". How easy it would be to flip through the tests and discard the ones that had the "wrong" answer to that question. It was a total joke; I shouldn't have wasted my time.

He and his brother went to good schools, played NCAA football and had lucrative NFL careers. He's not a child of slavery, and he appears to be far more privileged than the average American. Acho has a sideline guilt-tripping people about privilege, which seems ironic given his background and his relative level of success compared to most Americans.
