Zone1 One Perspective of the Concept of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)

Try the Bakke Decision on for size.

That's a classic case of what I stated. Bakke was turned down twice by Cal law, but whined about 16 seats when whites had 84. The court in that case did not rule against AA.

Practice was ruled unconstitutional.

No, AA was not ruled unconstitutional. They ruled that quotas could not be used. Again, Balle was an unqualified white male who was turned down on two prior occasions for entry into that law school but played the race card in order to get in. There is no situation where a black person could have whined to the Supreme Court about discrimination if there were 84 seats open for blacks and 16 for everyone else. Equal protection under the law has been violated consistently by whites whining about Affirmative Action.

Paying DEI "experts" $300K per year to hold meetings and give lectures on why minorities STILL require preferential treatment is absurd and DEMEANING to minorities.

They ruled quotas were unconstitutional.

I have previously posted a thread in which I ask the question "Did the Tuskegee Airmen Benefit From DEI" since they accomplished all that they did before their existed any formal legislation surrounding the advent of DEI programs or policies. Most of those who actually answered were adamant that they accomplished everything they did "on their own" with at least one person acknowledging that they had to be at least twice as good (presumably 'skilled') at flying as their white counterparts. To this segment of the population DEI is a dirty word.

Even when I pointed out to them that they were only allowed to participate in the Allied war effort after the NAACP prevailed in a lawsuit compelling the government & military to include them, they still don't seem to make the connection (or simply care that it exists) between needing to file and win a lawsuit before you're allowed to participate and the 2nd letter in the acronym of 'inclusion' being actually the foundation of the initiatives. I mean after, all you can't diversify nor obtain equity until you are first included.

I'm also interested in the thoughts regarding President Andrew Jackson's statement which I highlighted in yellow at the bottom of the image below.

My niece was the owner of a day care center for autistic children in Los Vegas, which received federal funding. Her funding was cut in the first round of DOGE cuts which ended funding to all "DEI" programs, because programs which only help disabled children are the very definition of "DEI".

Tuskegee Airmen was DEI
Racists complained they took jobs away from qualified white pilots

That was never the WWII argument as there was never a shortage of opportunities for trained pilots.

We were so short of pilots that establishing a women’s flying service (a very ethnically diverse service) was not controversial.

The argument made by bigoted, but influential, Southern Congressmen was that Blacks were mentally unable to fly combat aircraft. An argument that the Tuskegee Airmen proved very wrong.

What difference does it make how many whites had seats? It’s racist to have turned him down due to skin color in order to accept someone less qualified because they liked HIS skin color better.

Amazing how you scream “raaaaacist” at everyone when you support it. Against whites, that is.

Like the point excellence can arrive when opportunity is available
When black was allowed in they rose to excellence in sports.
music also,
those of all races held back by society negatives,
or own short coming's.
still build what they need to grow or just survive.
gangs,- manipulate the system-, law breakers.
some want a magic person to fix it for them.

That was an abortion of legality that's for sure. Alan Bakke did go on to be a respected and successful doctor. The man who was admitted instead of Bakke, was Patrick Chavis who although a terrible doctor was lionized by the local press as serving "the poor". That's because no reputable facility would hire him. After killing his patients, Dr. Chavis lost his license and was murdered while waiting in line at a Foster's Freeze.

When the unqualified are given that which they are not entitled to, it never works out.

Kinda like you screaming "anti-semitism" whenever anyone says anything about the murder of Palestinian women and children, you lying hypocritical racist.

Discrimination Separates the Wheat from the Chaff

Rights have nothing to do with "Civil Rights."

Actually, ‘civil rights’ refers specifically to the rights that guarantee equal treatment under the law, protecting individuals from discrimination. These rights are fundamental, not separate from legal rights

 

[MarathonMike]

So just like the Tulsa race massacre of 1921 in which the most affluent Black community in the United States was burned to the ground by a mob of 3,000 whites, the current administration has set out on a path to burn down the progress and gains made in civil rights as they apply to all areas of life but specifically in employment and education, both of which are needed to establish a firm foundation for one's life in the modern....

You love to bring up the Tulsa race massacre from a century ago and EQUATE IT to current events of today. I've seen you do it several times. It is fundamentally dishonest and reduces your credibility. You are a smart woman you know what you are doing and I'm calling you out for it. It has nothing whatsoever to do with your race or my race. It has everything to do with HONESTY.
