Exactly.

I find it quite telling that no response ever says something to the effect of, "I'm not afraid of losing my supremacy." Or, "I don't have issues with Black women becoming Supreme Court Justices or press secretaries and I further know that they put in the work and effort to get to where they are." No, posters like this one just say, "Stop talking about it. Leave us alone." As if the problems will resolve if we just ignore them or only talk about how no Black woman is capable of any position of authority.
I've noticed that as well. The other popular responses include changing the subject and finger pointing.

The hypocrisy in this post is stunning, and not in a good way.

Why do you assume that only "minorities" are on the receiving end of equity discussions? Or that equity is some kind of "reward" that only certain people are deserving of?

You're neglecting everything else he's said beyond the product his company produces.

You want to bring back "Free Speech" but you are complaining about hearing specific words?! You are contradicting yourself.
That is the MO for many folks around here. Good luck figuring it out.

It's quite simple to make accusations with no detail or actual specific charge. It's almost as easy as hollering "racist" whenever someone says something you don't like, isn't it?

Or, "I don't have issues with Black women becoming Supreme Court Justices or press secretaries and I further know that they put in the work and effort to get to where they are." No, posters like this one just say, "Stop talking about it. Leave us alone." As if the problems will resolve if we just ignore them or only talk about how no Black woman is capable of any position of authority. Like I said, the demographics are changing rapidly. You will not be left behind bc of your race, you will be left behind because of your attitude to race and justice. We all want to live in peace and the Republican make that hard so we have to fight against this growing threat.
I don't have a problem with the current nominee because she's black. I have a big, fat, massive problem with her because she wants to keep sentences light for child abusers.

While Marxists focus on race, other people focus on much more important issues.

Virtue signaling about how 'not racist' you are, to the point that you carry on and on about how the person is black, or...what do the Marxists call everyone who isn't European? OH, that's right, 'black and brown people', as if anyone who isn't European has no identity beyond their skin color. When all a Marxist can do is send up the Virtue Signal in the sky to show everyone how 'open and accepting they are', it only reveals how very racist they are.

Blabbering on about someone's race, as if that was the only thing you need to know about a person to put them in a specific position, reveals far more than some of you think. May as well just don the hoods and stand around a roaring bonfire, because it reeks of extreme racism - just like the left has been all along.

Whenever I'm watching TV and I hear words like "Diversity" and "Inclusion" I immediately change the channel because I know I'm in for some woke liberal BS. As a matter of fact, I change the channel at any sign of the slightest wokeness. I've just had it. I am completely and utterly fed up with this crap.

Yep. Well, I don't really watch TV. But I do listen to radio... and anytime mention of diversity, inclusion, racist, gender, etc, by left-wing media is made, immediate change of channel or turn-off. Oh, and the covid shot commercials... immediate change of channel.

So you don’t listen to NPR much I assume?

It's completely off putting and it's EVERYWHERE. Commercials, TV shows, movies, on the radio.

I'm just tired of being lectured to on this stuff.

This gave me a belly laugh I hadn't had in days.

I raised three white males, married to one and every time one of you claims they are being 'excluded' or treated badly they also have a good belly laugh.

It's just too funny.

I do the same. I also turn the channel when they go to the southern border and show the massive amount of illegals flooding in. I just can't take it. My blood pressure goes up.
