DEI is the bogeyman for those who believe that if I’m gaining, they must be losing. The idea that everything would be fine if only white men ran the world is a weak argument—clung to by insecure men who can’t handle reality. DEI ensures women & BIPOC are looked at fairly IN ADDITION to white men.

Ignorant and vile seems to be their identity. If that is their logic should we assume Tesla, X, financial & healthcare institutions, etc are run by “privilege hires” considering how inept they all seem to be? Why isn’t race or gender EVER the issue when they fail?

Outside looking in. Sadly there's a deep seam of racism still in the American soul. Would that it wasn't so. Hopefully you'll get through the next four years strong enough and organised enough to turn back the tide before it totally swamps you

Repurposed speech from my favourite show Who am I? I'm the people.I am the right hand of vengeance and the boot that is going to kick your sorry ass all the way to hell, sweetheart! I am death incarnate and the last living thing that you are ever going to see. God sent me.

So vile. They are pretty much blaming the fires on minorities and I have yet to see them shamed into silence. Crockett got Jennings good, but he still had his racist smirk on his face. Newsom, same. Eff decorum and tell these people to shut up and help or STFU.

Diversity hiring refers to a recruitment and hiring process that is UNENCUMBERED by biases related to a candidate's age, race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and other characteristics that have no bearing on their talent or job performance. No one is being forced to hire unqualified people.

Other qualified candidates were considered. We had and exceptionally qualified black/Asian female up for the position. Unfortunately, there was significant bias on the part of the hiring team.

Rep Crockett called out @cnn.com racist bs correctly on this idea. “Why is it if a straight white male isn’t in charge it automatically = a dei hire?” They have decided that anytime something goes wrong and a white bro isn’t in charge, then race or gender are immediately the cause.

I mean yea. What is Skippy there even talking about? DEI? While peoples homes are going up in flames and may even die and he’s up there talking about DEI. Could it be hiring someone just because they look like me maybe a bad idea if they are say a rapist or a felon?

I'm positive that white people are scared of the competition. They don't want to work harder and secretly they know they will not make the cut. They are used to having an advantage.

I've been saying that White people think DEI is discrimination because marginalized people are used to working 10x harder for the same things. With DEI initiatives, the competition field has become a bit more fair, but White people don't want to put in that amount of work, so it's "discrimination".

It's racist. It's racism. It's about any racist sociopaths using a disaster to score their racist talking points. They're narcissistic bullies who don't care if someone's been hurt or killed. Just so long as they can do their chest thumping and get their digs in. They live for this.

They’re terrified that whites will be the minority (which will happen despite immigration of non-whites). It’s full panic, fed by media for easy ratings and Putin who knows it divides the country. He’s counting on it.

No one, from what I can tell, is complaining about the services they have received. The lack of rain, the extreme winds, that created the conditions can only be blamed on Mother Nature, who is a bitch. Climate change is real

The patriarchy reigned for millenia. They have the vote, they have their own bank accounts, they can work, get married or not, have all the advantages they had for ever, but now there is a competition, and the men are struggling. Well...... that is very sad.

He's one of the reasons I stopped watching CNN. 1. Because he's a POS straight up. 2. Because they give him a platform. I just can't anymore. I don't know how members of that panel don't come to blows with him. I'm assuming it's the paycheck. IDGAF about money over morals.

The one they're talking about is LITERALLY OVERQUALIFIED. Years of Experience. Experience in that area. Engineer. etc. Scored in the Top 50 of OVER 15k people. Like it's IMPOSSIBLE to say that she's NOT Overqualified. Meanwhile we got people who are UNDER Qualified, but it's okay because WHITE!!

I agree - this all stems from their fears/insecurities. I'm really concerned that not only are some dropping DEI, in response to this rhetoric, but others will avoid placing women & POC in leadership positions to avoid blowback & accusations. Corps. seem to be falling in line all too quickly.

I see DEI as the modern day EEOC. In the 70’s EEOC allowed me & a handful of other women, mostly minorities, to apply & work for the phone company’s previously considered “male” jobs such as lineman, installer, mailroom (wasn’t traditional mail) where we did exact same job and earned “similar” pay🙀

DEI is not what they say/think it is. Forms of DEI have been around since the 70’s. I went through a version of it in Air Force Basic training in 1984. When I joined the private sector I went through diversity training on day one. That was in 2000. They can suck it. It’s just something else.

Jasmine Crockett cares about America. The America of immigrants. The America of diversity. She’s actually trying to do good things for our Country & fight for all . She’s one of few actually showing she cares about what she was elected to do .

If real science would tackle penis enlargement instead of the kooks selling gimmicks in the back of girly mags, maybe all of these tiny white men wouldn't have to go to such crazy extremes to prove their manhood? I'm so over these tiny dicked men.

Whenever Scott Jennings is on CNN, they also need to have ‪Catherine Rampell‬ ‪@crampell.bsky.social‬ on there too. He's afraid of her, and it's funny watching her wipe that fucking smirk off his slimy face.

It’s interesting, white males have been running the world going back as far in time as we can see through the lens of history, and with a few exceptions, they’ve done a pretty miserable job of it. Maybe it’s time to try something different.

If your children and grandchildren are being racially discriminated against it’s not because of DEI or AA. White people remain the gatekeepers and they are doing what they do best: gatekeeping. You haven’t figured out by now that they control and move the goalpost? They’re in favor of “meritocracy”

There’s never been a meritocracy. And the people to blame aren’t Black or Hispanic; white people control the access to those institutions. That’s what I’m saying. Admissions are arbitrary anyway, mostly designed to ensure access for the ruling class. Everyone else gets thrown scraps.

only when it benefits them. Colleges aren’t getting rid of things like SAT requirements, etc - for the benefit of nonwhites. And side note, because this cannot be said enough, no one is entitled to go to (insert school here) - I don’t care how good your grades are, how many extracurriculars

you’ve done and what your GPA is. It doesn’t entitle you to anything and colleges have always made their standards of admissions vague enough to allow in who they want to allow in. Also, people need to understand that when tens of thousands of students are applying for a limited number of spots

I adore Jasmine Crockett I know if I ever ran into somewhere I would faint. I think she is the woman I wish I could have been.

They can’t understand the concept of DEI and don’t know what critical race theory is. They are just afraid of losing what they consider to be their birthright: To be mediocre and still prosper.

Except there is rarely pure merit based hiring. The world is full of people who got jobs not because they were the most qualified but because of who they know or what school or schools they attended. Qualified people are routinely not hired for any number of reasons that range from trivial to

nefarious. That’s actually the point of DEI. It’s about ensuring that qualified candidates have a fair shot based on merit and aren’t overlooked because the default in most cases is male and usually white. It’s about making sure that the kid who went to a state college doesn’t get rejected by the

ATS because he didn’t go to an Ivy League school. It’s about making sure that a women who graduated at the top of her class isn’t passed over in favor of a guy who barely graduated because his father plays golf with the head of HR. It’s obvious that people are either dumb as a box of rocks

I often tell business owners that DEI is teaching you how not to be sued into bankruptcy over something stupid. It's not just about hiring and hiring practices, it's about the workplace environment as well. Choosing DEI is at the very least, more insurance to protect them.

We already have ample evidence that white men, at best, can’t run the world better than anyone else. I was hoping to give a woman the chance to show us what she could do, for once, since the white men in this country have done a pretty shitty job.

What no one seems to be calling out on these DEI objectors is that for hundreds of years, it DID matter what color the firefighter was, municipal or volunteer! When white men ruled the institutions & services they refused to hire blacks & others of color, because it DID matter to them!

Not only insecure, but mediocre as well. Anyone against DEI is scared they’ll have to step up their game to compete with educated & well-qualified BIPOC. They ARE losing…their white privilege & that is the whole problem.

I'm so tired of them using DEI for everything. Some yt ppl have to stop seeing themselves as the saviors n heroes in this world. Other ppl exist and do just fine without white intervention and guidance. We need to work together and stop behaving like the pigment of our skin gives us extra worth.

Trump & co. are supremacists. They believe women only exist for male pleasure and reproduction.They fear non-standard forms of gender identity and sexual orientation. They blame immigrants, POC, trans, gays & all minorities for every problem. NAZIs thought this way too.

Per "Caste" by Isabel Wilkinson, when the NAZIs wanted to LEGALLY oppress and kill minorities & Jews, they instituted Jim Crow laws. Yes, they learned legal oppression & murder from the US South! NAZIs=White Supremacists=US South Jim Crow! The seeds of Hitler's genocide germinated in the USA.

I’m honestly terrified. They just genuinely don’t want to accept WHY those programs had to be put in place. We have DEI because they weren’t hiring us. We have specific scholarships because schools weren’t letting us in. We have housing protections because people wouldn’t house us. All for our COLOR

It exists to bridge the gaps between law, even with those laws in place landlords found loopholes (still do). Employers found loopholes. Schools found loopholes. Because we have blatant evidence in many cases before DEI that people with every reason to be accepted were still denied because of color.

Right. I think the reason they won’t accept why is because they don’t they don’t ever have to think about the part race plays in everything, esp everything you said. ⚪️ ppl can live their entire lives without ever considering race at all. I think that’s why so many ⚪️ ppl get mad abt these programs.

Atlanta hasn't had a white mayor since 1974 and is an insanely successful, beautiful and vibrant city that shows what black leadership is capable of here in the US. I assert if black and brown hadn't been so heavily marginalized in the US, America would be significantly more successful.

The fact is this country desperately needs to leave the idea of old white men running everything behind and put more black and brown people in positions of leadership, especially black and brown women. AOC and Jasmine Crockett are proof that black and brown women can lead with power and excellence.

Thays BECAUSE white mediocrity is the threshold. When it's challenged, then there comes the pushback. It's because they KNOW that if the playing field is even black and brown have the ability to surpass. Kamalas track record is a prime example of this no matter how they slice it. Data doesn't lie.

Not to be derogatory, but literally everything culturally comes from black and brown people. Cowboy culture is Mexican, black people built the foundation of this country and even its freakin capital. And we still don't get a fair seat at the table. Instead we get reminders we hardly belong.

I don’t know the exact quote from LBJ..poor white trash will vote against any benefits to lift up black & brown citizens even though it would help them as well.

Here is the quote: President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Using that term hobbled a lot of women too. You were always aware that this is what they were thinking whether your accomplishment was DEI or not. They never had any problem bragging about their though, even taking credit for someone's work.

Jennings is a DEI hire by CNN. There are intelligent conservatives like Luz Cheney, Bill Kristol, Adam Kinzinger, etc. that they could hire. Instead, CNN hires this ignorant buffoon. I could have said baboon, but they are more intelligent than Jennings.

Hear, hear-- isn't it odd, that every time these good Republicans see a non-white face, they screech DEI!!! and just know that the person of color is unqualified for whatever job.... but oh, no, they don't 'see' race.... It's ridiculous.

Watching President Carter’s today through tears. We didn't appreciate the goodness of the man. A pure soul. And Trump had his eyes closed 95% of the time. It wasn't about him🙄

Scott Jennings is such a racist POC. I won't be watching @cnn.com until he is removed. That has been the case since prior to the election. Disgraceful they continue to put racist bigots on their network and normalize this garbage.

Poor little woobies, those mediocre white men. They've never come to terms with the idea that their skin color does not make them smarter or more worthy. They're doomed to mediocrity and somebody smarter will fill that job they're over-reaching for. *playing world's smallest violin for them.*
