Getting rid of DEI is not really to target our people

ELEVATING to HIGHER LEVELS with POSITIVE VIBES ✨
Attacking DEI is very much about Black people and other minority groups the same way attacking Affirmative Action was attacked.
The problem with this notion that it's being attacked and dismantled to handicap White women is that White women will hardly struggle to get a job, with or without DEI, Affirmative Action, or whatever other policies that fit these bills.
Unless you're one of these “white women are minorities too” fools, the truth is that they'll get jobs because they are White; first and foremost, being women is a nonfactor compared to the obstacles that Black women, Latino women, etc, would face from bigotry and discriminative practices.
White people, in general, have a much easier chance of finding jobs and being employed with or without any programs (AA, DEI, etc) in place. These types of programs and policies were created for the disadvantaged, such as minorities, disabled individuals, the elderly, etc.
White women are not and never have been at a disadvantage when it comes to employment. Sure, they may have benefited from these services simply being available, but when it's gone, it won't hurt them the same way it'll impact some average inner-city Black, Latino, etc man or woman looking for and maintaining a job.

You always gonna need allies.
Just don’t overdue it and keep it real/fair. Black folks were being shown as representing causes that we did not even benefit fairly from… in example DEI

How when we never benefit from it in the first place? I’m not saying we won’t be a casualty of loss in the workforce. Those initiatives that were put in place from DEI in large numbers don’t benefit our people whether black or Latino.

I see what you’re trying to say, but in my opinion, attacking DEI is covertly attacking black government employees from a policy standpoint, and directly attacking black government employees from a political and social standpoint.
FOH with this BS. "DEI hire" is thrown almost exclusively at Black folk, and anti DEI policy has resulted in the firing of many high profile Black folk and the diminishing of Black historical figures.

Right so moving forward we should only stand for causes that benefit us. I think the allies and outsiders are the problem. We let other groups of people tell us what and how we should do. The so called allies come in with their own goals get there’s and leave black people with the same problems we had. Case in point BLM.

By doing what you’re doing right now and bringing awareness to it.
People with platforms big or small bringing awareness to it.
Politicians speaking out about it.
I don’t want to get rid of DEI but they need to be honest and fair about it if it ever comes back. But honestly, idgaf if it goes because they never used it for us except in theory.
But it is definitely an attack on black people… most importantly. Like someone said, this whole MAGA bullshyt started because there was a black man as president.
Ain't no way. No wonder black Trump supporters are typically the least educated. In what way do programs that eliminating DEI initiatives that are only in place because of inequality in terms of opportunity helping?
I really really hate c00ns that hate liberal ideas around DEI and have no solutions to address the former.
No one calls Tulsi Gabbard a DEI hire

As a black government employee myself. I’ll be the first to say the quickest way to black middle class has been military and government roles. That being said we are not a big beneficiary of DEI. The numbers don’t lie. I think people see the diversity and connect that with black people.

I’m not a Trump supporter. Feelings aside cause I don’t deal with that look at the numbers. Who are the biggest beneficiaries of DEI? You automatically that word diversity means black and it doesn’t because the numbers says otherwise. Have it helped other groups of people sure? But they not the face of it. It’s somehow connected to blacks and we not a big recipient.
So who do you think gets targeted the most when DEI got rolled back, what is the race of the woman who brought the issue of affirmative active to the SC?
