Jackie Robinson is not DEI

[Mack The Finger]

In the quest to establish the new "woke culture" the Defense Department actually removed the history of Jaackie Robinson from its website. After much clamor, they decided to restore it. Jackie Robinson is not DEI. What some claim DEI is isn't DEI. It's time this overt nonsense ended.

White washed away to the PC of America:

JR was a terrible troop and was to be drop from the rolls.

Joe Lewis called the president (a personal friend) and asked him to give JR another chance.

Go to a big city library and you ight be able to find that.

I read it in a Joe Louis BIO written by his son.

Oh my gosh, you just said what white racists think and do, out loud.

The intention is absolutely not valid but you've nailed it - you equate DEI with being Black and/or gay.

It's not just me, most people look at DEI as being related to people of color, or at least specifically excluding white people. Unless you can show me a company who's policy it is to hire white folk as a part of their DEI program?

I understand that on paper, DEI has a broader definition, but in today's context, it is being used pretty specifically.

The Military relies on Diversity more today than at any time.
Blacks, Hispanics, Women, Gays all play a bigger role.

Under Trumps attack on any DEI, the military is forbidden from acknowledging the contributions of those groups

Why can't you just recognize the contributions of all vets? Why do you have to divide them up into groups? Frankly that's not how the military works, they are one unit.

Because women need to see where other women have succeeded. Same for blacks, Hispanics and gays
That person came from the same situation I did

Provides motivation to join and stay in the military

Defense Department Webpage on Jackie Robinson Goes Down, Then Returns amid Diversity Purge​

A Department of Defense webpage describing baseball and civil rights icon Jackie Robinson's military service was restored Wednesday after it was missing earlier in the day.

That development came after pages honoring a Black Medal of Honor winner and Japanese American service members were taken down — the Pentagon said that was a mistake — amid the department's campaign to strip out content singling out the contributions by women and minority groups, which the Trump administration considers “DEI.”

The page on Robinson includes biographical information about his Army service during World War II, which occurred prior to his famously breaking baseball's color barrier in 1947 with the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Why don’t they just go outside or turn TV? I see women and minorities succeeding every day, everywhere…if people aren’t capable of doing that then they certainly aren’t going on the DoD website to see it

Simple minded people believe what they want or only what they can see. You BELIEVE Jackie Robinson was hired for his talent ONLY BECAUSE you can see the evidence of his talent.

In absence of anything tangible, white racists default to
IF Black THEN Automatically not qualified for the position(s) obtained --> BECAUSE of DEI

If there were no such thing as DEI you would still default to this ignorant position because if you don't see the evidence of talent, skill or accomplishments, then this is the erroneous conclusion most often drawn

IF Black THEN Automatically not qualified for the position(s)

If it's not something tangible, that you can see, small minds can't help but default to this same erroneous conclusion, right?

So how do you think Jackie Robinson's webpage, allegedly "by mistake", get deleted in the first place?
While I will readily admit, I don't know why, I would bet my decades of experience in IT on the fact that they're hunting down and removing anything that applies to Black people and it matters not to them whether their accomplishments were achieved prior to the executive order that essentially allowed the creation of DEI initiatives or if they were accomplished afterwards.

Enough about IM2

IF Black THEN Automatically not qualified for the position(s) obtained --> BECAUSE of DEI

Kamala--->not qualified, even though DEI

IF Black THEN Automatically not qualified for the position(s)

Because we've seen too many unqualified blacks because of affirmative action.

If it's not something tangible, that you can see, small minds can't help but default to this same erroneous conclusion, right?

Minds that have seen too many cases where it was the correct conclusion, right?

Why are you so threatened by underrepresented minorities seeing stories of people of similar backgrounds being successful?

That's awesome! Recruitment numbers must have been at record levels, right?

I’m.not, I’m not the one that thinks they need to be reminded that they can be successful

Why do you feel that way? Why do you think the DoD website needs to show them?

 

[LordBrownTrout]

You don't know what DEI is. All of you right-wingers repeat the race-baited garbage you get told. Kamala Harris is a law school graduate, She was a DA, she was the AG of the largest state in the country, a senator elected by that state and a Vice President. She was there precisely because she was that good.

Whits such as yourself need to shut up about peoples skills. Far too many whites have been put in places not because they were good, but because they were white.

She was hired to fill a quota. She's dumber than a pile of nails.

Yes

The DoD needs to sell its product and show there are opportunities for all.

With Trump attacks on DEI, he is making it clear that if you are discriminated against because of your sex, race, religion or sexual orientation

There will be nobody to help you

Sure, I have no problem with Ads on TV, there were plenty of them before Xiden's DEI program.

Really? You think minorities think they can't get in the military? hahahaha...you really are clueless...but then again, you didn't think blacks thought they could be successful without a Jackie Robinson page on the DOD website....I don't know if that's racism, or stupidity you are showing, maybe both

Agreed, and we saw the DOD miss recruitment targets year after year under Xiden.

U.S. military sees record breaking low recruitment numbers​

https://www.wavy.com/news/military/u-s-military-sees-record-breaking-low-recruitment-numbers/

Military officials say recruiting off to strong start in 2025, building on recent trends​

Early year gains reflect a confluence of factors as Trump claims a turnaround.

Military officials say recruiting off to strong start in 2025, building on recent trends

The U.S. military is tracking strong early year recruiting figures across the services, a signal it will meet or exceed 2024 performances, military officials said.

abcnews.go.com

"We've seen momentum unlike anything we've [had] in a decade," said Gen. James Mingus, the Army's vice chief of staff, at a congressional hearing on Wednesday, March 12 -- when he disclosed that five months into its recruiting year the Army had already signed up close to 73% of the year's annual goal of 61,000 recruits.

That's clearly not true. And it is stupid.

This nation has had a bi-partisan consensus on equality for racial minorities since the mid 60s.

It is insanely stupid to deny that.

the term DEI is racist. PERIOD demofk!!! live with it, it's yours

The term, the policy, the implementation, the arguments for it, everything about it.

ANd the people that suport it, are racist and dumb.

What that stupid fk doesn't understand is they used the DEI rather than the talent. They say with that acronym that merit doesn't matter, color does. That is the factual definition of the racist objective.
