The NAR is now pushing "Diversity, Equity & Inclusion" policy.
From the NAR's article, '
Lead the Way to a More Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive Future':
"Equity ensures everyone receives fair treatment and equal access to resources, opportunities, and success."
There is no such thing as "equal access to resources, opportunities, and success." People are born into different circumstances and more importantly, they make different life choices that influence their access to resources, opportunities, and potential for success.
If everyone was given $100,000, they would not all be in the same situation the next day.
"...learn ways to foster a sense of belonging and promote distributive justice as you assimilate DEI into your leadership style."
(example of Distributive Justice: "evaluates the impact of an auto-centric environment. We must ensure that transportation includes [space and safety] for bikes, people with disabilities, micro-mobility, and pedestrians.")
Sounds like it's time for a bicycle tax so bicyclists can pay for what they use.
What about people restricted to bed? Do we need to make gurney lanes and provide someone to push them?
"...'Walk the walk' at work by creating a diversity taskforce, developing DEI policies, ensuring fair hiring and promotion practices, implementing training and soliciting feedback."
By "fair", do they mean selecting people for the job based on their skill set or by their race, color, religion, sex, sexual proclivities, disability (handicap), familial status, or national origin?

From the NAR's article, '
Equity and Inclusion'
"
In a nation based on a constitution that guarantees equality for all, decades of planning and land-use policy has created inequity."
The author of the article doesn't appear to have a basic grasp of free market economics or the US Constitution. The constitution doesn't guarantee equality for all. The US Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law.
"...decisions tend to be based on creating individual wealth vs. a holistic gain for the community..."
Of course, in a free society, decisions tend to be based on creating individual wealth.
Either wealth creation happens through voluntary exchange between consenting adults or it's done through forced redistribution (ultimately, forced redistribution takes place at the end of a gun - government ultimately enforces its laws through violence).

The NAR is promoting a book titled "
White Fragility" by Robin DiAngelo
Can you imagine the backlash if the NAR prompted a book described as "reactions [ethnicity of choice] people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality."?

Isn't the NAR concerned about making white people feel accepted, valued, and supported by a foundation built on trust and mutual respect?
Why is the NAR treating people differently based on color?
Seems like the National Association of Realtors should go back to treating everyone EQUALLY, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin, since the NAR's new Diversity, Equity and Inclusion agenda seemS to be in direct conflict with the Civil Rights Act.
