My advice to democrats

No, the world classifies and treats people by race (amongst other things). At no point in the history of this country have people not treated people differently due to race.

CRT is a theory that describes it, and DEI is a program that attempts to address it.

That is not what either CRT nor DEI says. In fact, just the opposite. CRT states that race is tied into social hierarchies and results in people treating people of certain races as inferior even when they aren't. DEI is designed around the notion that people feel either superior or inferior due to cultural differences and attempts to alleviate the issue.

 

No. Its just hilarious that Republicans try to hold Democrats to some higher standard than they hold themselves to.

 

I thought I was pretty clear that if someone is complaining that Democrats were mean to MAGA voters that's really really really funny.

 

"The world" is people. People treat people differently because of race. Recognizing it is not the same as doing it.

Not because of their inferiority. Because of the fact that the social and economic system was set up under the assumption of their inferiority and with the goal of maintaining itself with that assumption.

What you want is that system that assumes racial inferiority to exist and pretend that you know nothing about it while not losing that social structure and the resulting, often indirect, benefits.

 

I’ve said before why I voted for Trump, because no clue what Harris policies were and Trump has some positions that I liked. And given I’m in a dark blue state, my vote wouldn’t count so voting for Trump would perhaps give local politicians and idea that they need to change unless they want the district I’m in to eventually turn republican

 

Couldn't disagree more.

Yall keep doing what you're doing!

It'll work out for you eventually...

Stick with it..

 

You can keep repeating the false thing over and over, but it is still false. Again, the underlying theory of most DEI is the lack of a difference between people by race and that the differences that we see in outcomes are due to direct or indirect discrimination. You assume that the difference is due to "merit," i.e., that some racial, gender, or other social groups are actually inferior.

One of the better illustrations that I can imagine is the Rooney Rule in football. A clear "DEI" initiative before the term was even come up with. The rule is that you need to interview black head coaching candidates. The underlying theory is that black coaches were being held back by discrimination rather than a lack of ability.

The rule resulted in a massive increase in the hiring of black coaches. But is that because inferior coaches were being hired via "DEI" or because coaches with the same ability were not previously being hired and now were?

So how would we test such a question? Well, in a zero-sum game, you can look at winning percentage. If black coaches have a higher winning percentage, it is strong evidence of discrimination, as a racial discrimination-free selection process would not produce differences in winning percentage by race. Prior to the Rooney Rule's adoption in 2002, the average wins per year for a black coach was 9.1 wins per year, compared to 8.0 for wins per year for white coaches. That difference was significant. After the rule was instituted, the gap became 8.1 for Black coaches and 8.2 for White coaches, a difference that was not statistically different.

So it appears that the NFL was correct in the implementation of the Rooney Rule. The reason black coaches weren't being hired despite their overperformance was not because of their "inferiority" as coaches but likely due to some form of either direct or indirect discrimination.

 

Seniors shifted away from Trump especially in swing states. Latino and black males turned to Trump. Democrats lost ground with voters under 30 in nearly every swing state.

“Trump made huge gains with young voters and Latinos, who shifted by double-digits in Trump's direction, and he cut into Harris' margins with Black voters, too. Trump also drove up his margins with men and won by a big margin with white voters, both of which turned out at higher shares of the electorate than four years ago.”

Not the point. You brought up that Biden called Trump supporters garbage. Yet Trump has spent 9 years calling Democrats every name under the sun. But Trump supporters made shirts, signs and stickers because Biden and the audacity to call them garbage. And are still bringing it up.

Like I said. MAGA voters hold Democrats to some mythical higher standard that if they dare slip up from it is unforgivable. But they don't care about their own house.

 

All sides use the other sides negative comments to rile up their base. Gotta keep the anger flowing if you want to win more votes. Been that way for ages and will continue.

It’s almost like saying water is wet.

 

The comment was clearly sarcastic given that hilarious garbage truck stunt but you be you

 

To my point. You are desperately trying to turn everything around because you don't like how it feels to take your position that racial gaps are due to a racial group being inferior and not issues with the culture or process holding back people that weren't inferior. You aren't even trying to engage on substance any longer, just trying to argue from emotion. And hoping that I will return in kind to give you a face saving out.

Again, the point of DEI is that there already were different sets of rules (such as nepotism or favoritism based on social networks). They were just not always written down.

 

And what was it?

 

Poster has poor comprehension of this issue. Perhaps try to focus on the the explanation given in post #32
