Exceptional breakdown! Thank you!!! Your DEI explanation will help me to create healthy dialogues about the differences, be encouraging/motivating through the chaotic noise of the upcoming presidency, communicate with companies about their approaches to fairness if they dish the DEI initiatives, and filing EEOC complaints when/if necessary. 😃
When I was hiring, I practiced the only affirmative action that matters: I hired based on character and competence. Anything else is wrong and ultimately destructive. DEI = Didn't Earn It.
@@drewphil242 I dont think she would be the best person for that position, she would be too biased towards the already not racially balanced sports that the NBA and NFL have become. If we really want true diversity in this society, it goes for everything. One group doesn't get to pick what is diverse and what is not. True diversity should touch everything or nothing, there is no in between. You either have it or your dont. The problem with most american people that clammer for diversity is that they usually become color biased and end up doing what they are rallying against in the first place. Unfortunately, I believe, this is what is happening now.
@@dbdb703 That's exactly what's happening now. Pretty much woke bullshit that'll eventually fall by the wayside. I don't care what color someone is or isn't, I care about ability. Always hire the most qualified regardless of race or gender.
As someone of colour in one of the biggest corporate companies in my country you have raised some really great points. I attended a company seminar last week that highlighted the need for people of colour to be in the top positions. I kid you not my eyes glazed over and immediately I switched off. I’ve sat in many meetings where diversification sounds great in theory but never quite eventuates into anything.
Someone of colour, that identifies as a group can bring nothing of value to a company that must service individuals. That you gave up your personal identity only makes me angrier at progressives that continue to enslave my people.
Amazing video. Thank you for this simple, but effective explanation of this topic. “Diversity is being invited to the party, Inclusion is being invited to dance, and Equity is being able to pick out the music and help plan the event in the first place” 🫶
That’s what it’s based on. Where do people get the idea that Equality and diversity is about giving unqualified people the job, it’s not. For a long time qualified minorities were not getting the job, but unqualified people whose faces fit got the job and climbed up the ladder quickly.
@@kimberlylucas2453it is needed in the workplace, to make it a fairer playing field. If there wasn’t an issue it would not be put into place. The people fighting against it are upset because they have to work harder for that position and now they’re playing victim.
So colleges shouldn’t accept diverse students ?So only white students should attain the knowledge to obtain a higher salary job…. Hmmm.. seems like you wanna keep the racial hierarchy prevalent.
Equity means communism or socialism, diversity and inclusion are the means to achieve that. We know. Now we can smash DEI. How it is to be political commissar like in Soviet Union?
Yes and also Marxist, racist, misandrist, feminist, insulting, unharmonious, disruptive, condescending, divisive, and lowers the standard of every performance metric of the company eventually causing its downfall.

DEI hates straight white men with an unbridled passion akin to no other....there you go, looks like you didn't need to attend all those "training" (read - brainwashing) sessions.
I love this video and the final part on EQUITY is what I am facing right now. It’s not the POC it’s the reduction in BLACK peoples ACCESS TO EQUITY. In our social landscape, anti blackness prevails, it is a problem that the BIPOC initiative did not answer unfortunately. It’s another failed, shortsighted attempt at addressing the intentional attacks on the upward momentum of the descendants of stolen AFRIKANS. DEI isn’t actively addressing that beyond creating another career path similar to social workers & teachers that black women jumped on swiftly & leveraged themselves. To see an organization that has its black people in the “help”, section & its black men in the “brawn”, section but none in leadership or the expert scholarship areas this is a direct result of implicitly bias ruling decision making. The POC conversation is where the DIVERSITY piece comes in allowing yt passing “Hispanics”, Latinos to gain leadership positions because of their proximity privilege & their hunger to gain access to this inequitable system that historically is based on the oppression of black people. It’s a serious pickle to get the right balance when DEI still does not recognize the HUMANITY in Black people. It is entirely, a subterfuge in my opinion. My DEI ambassador on the job sent be back to the place/person that has done the harm. Because of course it’s my job to mammie the growth of this ignorant person further perpetuates harm on me. I’m leaving the job further encroaching on my quality of life because this level of ignorance is “systemic “, within the organization. DEI is a safe haven for Yt people to be comforted but for no tangible out to be had by black peoples. POC & LGBTQI++ is getting plenty of support on the blacks of the anti-blackness situation of America but offer no alliance to black peoples because they are actually competing (self interest) in the same slots black peoples are/had been vying for.
I appreciate this comment. I've been seeing this, too, but am only able to come at it from a white woman lens, as in, some people think I'm "speaking for" or "virtue signaling" whenever I try to point out the specific distinction of anti-Blackness within certain orgs I've been involved in. I don't think I'm off base, your comment reminds me that this is a nationwide issue directly impacting people. It's true for the area I live (Pacific Northwest) because I also see it happen to friends and acquaintances through various jobs, schools, organizations, etc. Meanwhile, the palatable groups that, as you mention, can still be put into white or white-adjacent categories tend to gain better and more upward mobility. I also appreciate that you made a point of the "help" and "brawn" categories, because ironically, I've been part of a school board "investigation" into the irrational firing of a Black man who worked in the alternative education department as, quite literally, the brawn among more disturbed, disruptive, and behavioral students... And yes, Black women are hired as the "shoulder" for my fellow white people to cry on about their disingenuous disinterest in learning to do better. I'd say, I'm sorry for my race because it no longer feels like "they didn't know any better" and has turned more into willful ignorance. I also suppose it doesn't help if one of the most touted books about white privilege was written by a white woman who essentially writes in her book that if us white people mess up, not to worry, our caring BIPoC community will definitely forgive us...which is yet again a reminder from a white person to white people that we shouldn't be held accountable for causing harm to someone else, especially Black and Indigenous people who our race has collectively been harming for centuries. I'm glad that deeper conversations are being had and that more people are understanding that this is a marathon and not a sprint, but some people are forgetting that even with a marathon, shoving people out of the way is still poor sportsmanship.
@@SuperAH1985I super appreciate your comment. If possible, I’d love to speak further with you about this (interview style) and you can be anonymous if desired.
I greatly appreciate you sharing this well thought out perspective and choosing your quality of life vs ongoing dissension. Tough decision but ALWAYS choose self preservation if your life depends on it.
Yt I'm sure. No hate . Black folk should have choose to build communities, wait we did and yt folk with the government destroyed all independent black communities. 😅 Putting them under lakes and highways. Not Tulsa?
Contrary to “popular” belief, racism is good, let people be themselves,do your own thing, let them learn their own lesson, stop trying to stop it, you will not succeed, you will create more division and hate.
Are you implying that all the Corp execs, board members, and managers hired over the years who were not part of a historically unrepresented class all earned their positions? DEI is about selecting the top candidate regardless of their perceived differences. In some cases, their differences may be the trait that makes them more effective in many workplaces. I don't care to change your opinion. I believe that diversity and differences of opinion makes the world and organizations better.
@@jeffwashington429 The entire executive class is a nepotistic group of 1% parasites, and that group will never have to worry about DEI. They'll just hire a token minority, maybe a friends relative, and be done. It is solely applied to the workers, and it only gives protections or supports people who are not straight white males, to please people like you that think that all white people are a monolith, and thus harming any of them harms that 1%.

HI! I have some questions regarding a DEI Statement I would like to make. Could you evaluate if the following is a sensible direction to go in? 'As a inhabitant of Earth I would like to express incredible gratitude to be able to have this experience as a conscious being. We all get to experience this amazing thing we call life on this fantastic spaceship we call earth, where we can interact with al sorts of other beings and humans, who while having different experiences through differernt viepoints, are all connected as human beings having a human experience. In all humans I see the same life and the same consciousness. We're all on the same ride, and while we ocasionally forget that that's what it is, luckily there are experiences which make us remember, such as an awesome sunset, the singing of birds, the smile of a random person on the bus, you know what I'm talking about :). In any given moment we can make a choice: do we choose fear or do we choose love? Fear sees differences, Love sees none. Hate drives people apart, Love brings them together. My activities in DEI are to remind people of how strong love is, and how it overcomes all perceived differences. We all share the same world, and life is like magic. This very moment is full in it's being; it contains all that there is. If you look for something beyond what is Here and Now, you will seek forever, because THIS IS IT. NOW is all there is, and it's awesome!.' So what do you say? Is it any good?
This is all illegal, and against God, this is your religion, keep it in your company, but you cannot force this on other people. You want equality, read the Bible.

I learned a great deal from this short video. It was professionally done and very informative.
This explains why most HR departments are a barrier to anyone getting hired. Sad.
Great explanation. Unfortunately, most companies just focus on race, gender, and sexual orientation and ignore all the other types of diversities.
When I was hiring, I practiced the only affirmative action that matters: I hired based on character and competence. Anything else is wrong and ultimately destructive. DEI = Didn't Earn It.
I like this!
this was really good. Thanks for explaining this thoroughly.
It’s sound DEI makes the world goes round instead of being at a stand still.
I just found this video and I highly recommend it. She is very knowledgeable about the subject matter and presents it in a very outstanding format.
The NFL and NBA workplaces need to be more diverse. Can you give us some advice on how that can be attained?
The NFL and NBA can start by inviting @PositivelyNekah to educate them.

Based on the color of their skin? What ever happened to merit?
Great!
Equity is pushing the less qualified up over the qualified.
*Unity is strengh and diverity is weakness.
That's a lie. Do you know how many qualified black people that were denied jobs solely because of their race?
Wow great video ever 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
This is an incredible video. Thank you for explaining the differences in these topics.
Government is not your friend, it is your worst nightmare, can you say masta!

It should be the most qualified person for the job not about skin color. DEI seems like another version of affirmative action.
That is the issue she was passed over a position she was qualified for. This is why DE&I is needed in the workplace.
