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

I don't think you understand. This is about being given land, houses, and injections of trillions of dollars into black communities over a 249-year time frame. This is what whites have been given.

I know of no white people who have been given land or houses. Now there may have been more opportunity for whites to BUY those things in the past.

So, then you appear to be of the mindset that black people should be MADE wealthy. Ok, so, how and who?

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.”

Inclusion just means excluding everyone you want so that those who haven't been excluded are the only ones left who are included.

Exclusive: GM, Pepsi, Disney, others scrub some DEI references from investor reports, NPR​

February 7, 2025

Some big companies have been announcing the end of their diversity programs – but many others are quiet quitting.

At least a dozen of the largest U.S. companies have deleted some, or all, references to "diversity, equity, and inclusion" and "DEI" from their most recent annual reports to investors, an NPR analysis of regulatory filings has found.

A year ago, all of these companies made references to diversity and inclusion in their disclosures — but in their new reports, all of these companies have rewritten at least some of this language. In some cases, they no longer mention "diversity" at all.

Most of these companies have filed these annual reports in the past two weeks. That's usually when their reports – which are meant to provide a comprehensive financial review of the past year and update investors on the current business environment – are filed. But these updates are also coming at a time when President Trump has ordered an end to DEI in the federal government — and for its contractors, which includes many private companies.

Companies are also under pressure from conservative critics who say DEI programs are themselves discriminatory against non-minorities.

The companies that have recently deleted or softened their DEI language include Disney, Google, GM, GE, Pepsi, Intel, PayPal, Chipotle, Comcast, 3M, Regeneron, and Philip Morris, according to the NPR analysis. Most companies have not disclosed the reasons for the changes, although some told NPR that they are re-evaluating some of their DEI programs as well as examining Trump's executive orders.

Silently deleting DEI references

These changes come after Walmart, Target, Amazon, Meta, Ford, and other big companies have made headlines for ending or changing some diversity programs. Now NPR's analysis finds that many more companies are quietly changing how they talk about DEI to investors.

Have no fear ... Arrangements are being made for a candlelight vigil ...
Where you can share your obvious sorrow and regrets with your friends and neighbors ...
So we can all embrace our feelings while we stare at the twisted burnt carcass of DEI.

Take a moment to reflect on those who supported such policies ...
And be thankful sanity has prevailed as those DEI supporters slink into the darkness ...
Aware that their intentions to circumvent reason with race are doomed.

No, I'm talking about the bigotry that makes white trash post comments about black families back in the day. 84 percent poverty in the 1930 -1940's was not a good thing. Nor was the 55 percent poverty blacks were made to live in just before the Civil Rights Act.

The white man who is president is a baby daddy, and so is Elon Musk. Perhaps you should think before you post son.

I don't think the person you were responding to wasn't suggesting ... That having a few baby daddy's ...
Won't lower the percentage considered as being in poverty ... Although I don't think is really accurate.

I also don't think that would be a very good plan ... But you can put it with all the other shitty plans the government comes up with.
I mean, hell ... Look at what they have done for black folks already ... Systemic racism, and a whole lot of failure.

It's amazing a genius like you is still looking towards the government as a solution ... :thup:
When are you ever going to learn?

The white poverty rate in the depression was probably about the same.
