Trump’s Attack on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Provokes a Grassroots Backlash​

This year, the presidential inauguration took place on the federal holiday honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. President Trump fully exploited the opportunity, hijacking King’s memory to advance his agenda. In his inaugural address, Trump took immediate aim at diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI. The bigotry embedded in Trump’s plans to “Make America Great Again” is stark–purging people of color and LGBTQIA people, not only from employment in the federal government, but from public life. But people have fought for too long, and too many have died, in the fight for equality.

“Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” refers to a system of policies and practices that promote fair treatment, full participation, and full access to employment and opportunities for all, especially for people from historically marginalized communities. Trump is, in effect, attempting with the stroke of a pen to undo over 60 years of hard-won progress in overcoming racism, sexism and other forms of bigotry.

“Today is Martin Luther King Day,” Trump said in his inaugural speech in the Capitol Rotunda, one of the only factually accurate statements he made. He went on, “In his honor, we will strive together to make his dream a reality. We will make his dream come true.”

Moments later, though, he pledged,

“This week, I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life. We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based.”

(What the right doesn't get is that America was already socially engineered to give whites the best outcomes.)
While Trump spoke at his inauguration, a different gathering was taking place just a few blocks from the White House. Hundreds packed into the historic Metropolitan AME Church, the storied Black church that abolitionist Frederick Douglass attended, and where his funeral took place. In 2005, after Rosa Parks lay in state in the Capitol, her casket was moved to Metropolitan AME, for a memorial service.

Civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton was speaking at the same moment as Trump. Hearing that Trump had invoked King’s name in his speech, Sharpton responded:

“Donald Trump just said that he is going to end DEI this week, he’s gonna put out his executive orders. You have all these corporations that are saying they’re gonna back off DEI. Why do we have DEI? We have DEI because you denied us diversity, you denied us equity, you denied us inclusion. DEI was a remedy to the racial institutional bigotry practiced in academia and in these corporations. Now you want to put us back in the back of the bus? We’re going to do the Dr. King/Rosa Parks on you. We will call you out one by one, and we will shut you down.”

You guys started this fight, and you're going to lose. You are going to learn the hard way that your race hustle had you believing a bunch of lies.

Grassroots nitwits, you meant to say.

Keep grasping at straws bro!

You say you want equality, but you never say HOW that will be achieved. Nobody can get a straight answer. Do you think the government should give every black man, woman, and child 10 million? Should they be given free houses, free education? If it's just opportunity you are talking about, it's going to take a LOOONG time before "equality" is achieved, so this MUST mean you want the government to speed it up in some way

What way is that exactly?

Why do you hate MLK Jr?

You have been explained how. Whites have been talking that gradualism mess since the end of slavery. The government created the problem, so the government has to fix it.

Whites haven't had a problem with getting government help.



And these things were either paid for due to our labor or our tax money.

So why does it become a problem when we ask?

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: A Marxist Framework for Division and Antisemitism

In sum, thanks to woke DEI policy makers, enforcers, and activists, and supremacist, pro-terrorist Muslims, Jews in North America are being crushed

23 Jan 2025 ~~ By Phillip Carl Salzman

Frontier Centre for Public Policy
The foundational idea of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is the Marxist theory that all humanity is divided between oppressors and victims. This class conflict can be seen in its economic dimension (bourgeois vs. proletarians), its political dimension (oligarchy vs democracy, or fascist vs. woke), its sexual dimension (men vs. women), its racial dimension (whites vs. BIPOC [blacks, indigenous, people of color]), its health dimension (the fully abled vs. the disabled or “otherwise abled”), its sexuality dimension (heterosexuals vs. LGBTQ2S++ [lesbians, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, two-spirit, plus many other varieties]), or its ethnic and religious dimension (Christians and Jews vs. seculars and Muslims)

The DEI understanding of the Marxist class conflict is bolstered by intersectionality, under which multiple victim statuses can be observed. The result is a hierarchy of victimhood, with people classed according to how many victim statuses they occupy. The greatest prestige, in the eyes of DEI advocates, is accorded to the multiply victimized, e.g. disabled black lesbians, Muslim working-class females, et al.
Accorded least prestige, and maximum scorn, are the designated oppressors: whites, men, Christians, Jews, the wealthy, the able, and straights (heterosexuals). The last decade in North America has seen the culmination of decades-long campaigns to vilify these “oppressors.” At long last, the vilification of members of these categories has resulted in their marginalization in the major institutions in Canada and the United States (and also in Europe and Australasia).
However, whites make up the majority of the population in the U.S. (about 60%) and Canada (about 70%). So they are, collectively, too large and too strong to attack frontally and violently. Men too are too many and too able to protect themselves to attack frontally and violently. Whites and men are undermined in more subtle, if explicit, ways, such as in discrimination in admission, hiring, promotion, funding, and awards in universities. In contrast, Jews are a small and relatively weak population, outstripped in North America and Europe, for example, by the voting power of larger Muslim populations.
~Snip~
To the students, it was never a matter of what the truth was. What mattered was that I was throwing shade on the region with which the students identified, rather than painting it as the home of beauty and virtue.
How can we explain the fanaticism of activist Muslim students? It is in no way a matter of human rights, civil liberties, democracy, and indigenous rights, as they claim for Western audiences. In Arabic and Persian, Urdu, and Javanese, Muslim authorities demand that Islam be supreme, and those of other religions be subservient, dhimma, or else enslaved or killed. The independent and self-governing Israelis are immorally disobedient to Islamic supremacism.
As well, the land of the Ancient Hebrews, which was conquered by Muslim Bedouin armies in the seventh century, must, like all land once controlled by Muslims (think also of Spain and Sicily), remain under the control of Muslims. The Israelis disobey Islam on this ground as well. This too is why Muslims are angry at Israel. And to make matters worse, the Jews, the most despised of all when under Muslim control, have had the audacity to beat Arab Muslim warriors in a series of wars, the embarrassment and shame of which must be cancelled by a conquest of Israel.
In sum, thanks to woke DEI policy makers, enforcers, and activists, and supremacist, pro-terrorist Muslims, Jews in North America are being crushed.


Commentary:
It appears that the tide has changed, Well, at least for the time being in favor of the conservative right.
That said, this excellent thesis by Salzman blows holes in you ideological statement(s)...

Salzman doesn't know squat about DEI. Everything is Marxist to you retards.
 
“Today is Martin Luther King Day,” Trump said in his inaugural speech in the Capitol Rotunda, one of the only factually accurate statements he made. He went on, “In his honor, we will strive together to make his dream a reality. We will make his dream come true.”
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. – Martin Luther King, Jr.

~S~
 
If you call it an "attack" you tip your hand about your political bias. I bet the majority of parents in the United States are breathing a sigh of relief that their young public school girls might no longer have to endure the sexual abuse of having confused boys in their showers and locker rooms. USA USA
 
Al knows plenty about King. You, on the other hand, know nothing. And don't repeat that one sentence
Why? Because it shows how far you've drifted away from Dr. King's dream?

You want everybody judged by the color of their skin. That's an undeniable fact.
