Joe Biden allowed tens of thousands of hardened criminals to cross our border, unfettered, unchecked. He pushed DEI initiatives which watered down the talent level at so many of our federal agencies. Never before has there been a POTUS so hellbent on crippling and destroying America. Considering that there was no pressing need for either of these policies, it really puts into perspective what progressives want to do with this country. They want to destroy it. At the expense of children being trafficked, innocent Americans being murdered and robbed at gunpoint and our way of life being severely disrupted. Just ask yourself why. Why were these policies necessary? We saw private companies ending DEI on their own before President Trump was sworn in. It tells us these companies only implemented DEI under duress from the federal government. No reputable company wants to be told whom they can and cannot hire. All reputable companies want the best talent available in every single position, regardless of skin color or orientations. To have anything less would be to dilute the talent level at their firms and thus the free market would flush them accordingly. Why did Biden do this? He wanted to destroy America. If your position is that this post is hyperbolic, perhaps you can lay out a rational explanation as to why we needed to allow tens of thousands of hardened criminals into our country illegally or without proper vetting? Perhaps explain to us which companies needed DEI and how they will suffer without DEI regulations. I am a very open-minded man. Prove the majority wrong, who think that these policies were destructive and unnecessary.
So are you saying ICE and CBP were too "woke" ... ok lol. The cops werent racist enough, that's a first. I'm sure they were doing land acknowledgements or kneeling for George Floyd before they raided a meat packing plant. Now they can get back to the important stuff like rounding up brown people.
Well, I must say, this is a brilliant defense of these policies. Americans who see the failure of these policies and point them out are "snowflakes." You should have gone straight for the jugular and called me a Nazi. That's what you really want to say. Probably the only thing holding you back is the rule specifically banning posters such as yourself from calling others Nazis, lol.
People who are scared of DEI are in fact the softest most overly sensitive people in the world, even softer than cops
While you're at it, maybe you can explain how these tens of thousands of violent criminals also lead to a significant DECREASE in homicide rates under Biden?!?
Donald Trump and the right-wing media never let the actual facts get in the way of a good story. They prefer "alternative facts" with Trump's willfully ignorant supporters accepting every utterance from the Dear Leader as the absolute truth.
Ask yourself this - why do you assume a candidate from a diverse background is inferior to a white candidate? Here's an interesting one for you.... a study from the Univ of Michigan law school. They famously had a program that enabled minority candiates to get into the law school, despite lower LSAT scores and grades than the typical admission. The study evaluated the success of these diversity candidates 1970-1996. You know what they found? They were still good enough to be successful in school, in their careers, and financially... just like the "regular" students. They also found that they did more pro bono work, and represented under-served minority communities more. But don't take my word from it... here's the conclusion from the study: Michigan\u27s Minority Graduates in Practice: The River Runs through Law School
You seem to be confusing DEI with Affirmative Action. And you offer no factual basis for claiming failure of DEI programs. The concept of DEI was developed to encourage respect for all groups, and overcome inherent biases. Lord help us if American society is remade in YOUR image.
When you state "DEI initiatives which watered down the talent level" (your exact quote above), you are suggesting that a DEI hire has less talent than a non-DEI (white/male?) hire. Less talent implies less capable, which implies inferior. That's your personal subconscious bias. Look, we all have them. I'm not attacking you. I'm pointing this out in the hopes it raises awareness and spawns some self-reflection.
I don't think he's confused. Brainwashed is a more suitable term. Everything you hear and every dog whistle is controlled by a small group. They pick a strategy, meet with a few politicians and then the next thing you know it's all over right wing media and articles are posted on here.
There is no subconscious bias, but you already knew that. Typical "he's a racist!" counterargument by the ultra-progressive. Some advice: don't try to impute motive to people you don't know and pass it off as fact. If you hire based upon identity politics versus merit, you will inevitably push out more talented individuals. It doesn't have to be whites. Though it's telling you make that leap. In many fields, it could be Asians, African-Americans, heterosexuals or others. As we saw with the Harvard University lawsuit, it ill-effects of DEI are not confined in straight white men. In fact, I'd go so far as to say the majority of people negatively impacted by DEI are not straight white men.
Which policies? You couldn't make it past sentence one w/o writing something hyperbolic & inaccurate.
Literally all human beings have subconscious bias about almost everything. It’s how our brains operate. So denying you have ANY subconscious bias is already a problem. Admitting you have a bias is basically admitting your brain is working idk why people get so sensitive about it.
I love how our resident snowflake disagrees with my premise, which is not uniquely mine it’s psychological and neurological fact. most of the information we digest and then use to make decisions happens below the level of active consciousness. Even simple things like driving are mostly automatic.
If you think I'm an ultra-progressive, I don't think we're going to have an honest conversation on any topic. FWIW, I was a registered republican for nearly 3 decades, NPA since the events of Jan 6. But please, explain how denigration of anything "DEI" isn't rooted on the premise that those candidates are inherently inferior... I'm all ears.
