Why are DEI departments not diverse? (regular, racism, Sanders, cost)

[JWRocks]

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed that the leaders of this department in schools, corporations, etc all seem to be black. Not sure about the office folks, but I believe it's nearly the same, or another. Doesn't seem diverse at all.

DEI is going to turn out to be one of the stupidest things we've ever embraced as a country.

DEI is a Klansman's wet dream.

Let's see....

Divide by race.
Put people into boxes.
Elevate some groups over another.

DEI when put into practices is akin to Jim Crow era policies with nice polite language.

OK, I'll bite.

What does DEI stand for?

No links, no references, no hints in any post to date.

When I google it I get mostly references to Deion Sanders.

What did he do?

Think of the added cost to corporations, government, etc. There already is affirmative action and hiring quotas. Looks more like virtue signaling

I work for a VERY large corporation and I see emails from the DEI office regularly. Like I posted, you read through this stuff, and it's always written in ways that sound nice, like I mentioned, it's just when you get down to brass tacks, white folks are put at the back of the line and the race being the first thing noticed about a person.

I mean, MLK and the civil right movement was all about judging the individual, now it's all about the check box.

It's like we've gone back 60 years in some ways.

This stuff when put into practices clearly violates the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

because they are of the Left.

and the goal of the left is to punish. No matter what, under all circumstances, find someone to punish for the perceived or real aggrievement. No need to solve problems. just find someone to blame and hurt.

this is the entire philosophy of the Progressive Left.

Why do they call themselves "progressives" when virtually everything they do and believe in is the exact opposite of progress?

If they didn't lie about that, they'd spoil their 0-for-everything record on every subject they ever talk about.

Everything about the whole woke agenda is nonsense and contradictory to everything obvious and common sensed based.

It can easily be dismantled, and they know it, it's why they brow beat anyone who challenges the narrative with slurs of racism, bigotry, xenophobia, and now "ableism" as we've seen with Fetterneck during the race.
