As a white dude from rural kentucky... who grew up poor... this is garbage. liberals act like this is reality but it's only reality for the rich. Rick black and brown people have it easier as well. Racism exists. Classism exists. Y'all divide people on the wrong boundaries and it needs to stop.
This cartoon assumes she even knew there was a race going on that day. A big part of DEI programs is simply broadening the candidate pool. Many positions in corporations are filled by crony networking where the job opening either never get posted or is not advertised outside narrow channels.
Is this a French bot?
It's not a judgement on intelligence. It's a illustration of the hurdles thrown in the way of perfectly qualified women and people of color.
Une personne de couleur qui est intelligente n'a aucun problème pour faire des études, passer de grands diplômes et réussir socialement, d'ailleurs il y a des exemples.
Mais statistiquement, avec 68 de QI, il est logique que beaucoup échouent par rapport à des 100-120 de QI tels les asiatiques.
ça ne suffit pas ton insulte, essaie au moins de faire l'effort d'essayer de nous démontrer que tout le monde a le même QI.
Mais tu ne pourras pas, tu préfères nier la réalité pour cultiver ton image de "bien-pensant".
My dad wax asshll angry alcoholic raging racist AF
My mom (spaniard) slapped him the only time he tried to say that racist word. I never heard it again.
Hes dead.
You cant change those grown up asshole racist dads
Divorced or not it still doesn’t absolve him of parenting responsibilities, and even if he nopes out of them he’s still partially responsible for how the kid turns out because he neglected his responsibilities
People will complain that other people are on long term benefits but then when we try to get them into work with reasonable adjustments they complain again.

Right!? Which is it!? You don’t want to pay us but you also don’t want us to work!? Do you just want us to wither and die or something? (Yes. Yes they do. Just look at the COVID response when it was disproportionately impacting minorities and disabled people and they were fine w/ it).
ok. I have to say, we are in a very dangerous place. Trumply got in on hate. How did that work? Why did that hate generate such heat? Was it always there and something reinvigorated it? How did Twitter and all the male energy sites gain such velocity? We cannot dismiss them as all dummies.
Exactly…the reason I started my own firm is because I got sick of being passed up for promotions after always being the top investment banker for 2 major banks every month of my tenure. However, it was due to these challenges that allowed me to have the life I have now. DEI strengthens not weakens
A Black coworker at Motorola said she can be smart, but not too smart.
Image having to gauge everything you say, so as to not offend anyone with your intelligence.
DEI was supposed to help this issue.
Now we have whiny white boys who criticize anyone who isn't white and male.
That actually happened at another company. A Black man used the word "sanguine" meaning optimistic. The white VP didn't know what the word meant and made fun of John for using it. At every meeting he would start with "Are you sanguine, John?" The white VP has a frat boy vibe and was an asshole.
There was a big layoff and frat boy VP was laid off. I was, too. John was laid off, but because he was brilliant and wrote winning proposals they brought him back. Later he was contractor for Microsoft, writing their proposals.
My former manager was a black woman and she told me horror stories. People calling her the N word to her face in the office. And she wouldn't report because she didn't want any backlash.
It's a fckin tragedy what these people deal with and white ppl just don't care, or worse, encourage it.
White redneck dickheads. Black folks always remember the bullshit. When minorities become the majority, they will know what vengeance really looks like. Black folks will definitely kick MAGA ass. And that damn MAGA Supreme Court is no exception. DEI SUPREME
They are trying to turn the clock back to 1888. That. Exact. Year.
So they must disassemble every innovation that the government has made to "float all boats". Any legislation to help black people. They will be going for women's votes soon enough.
Dude is literally gonna run around the hurdles anyways. @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social would of course let him continue as the pomp and circumstance that let's them imagine they're watching a fair race matters more than the actual circumstances of the race
And their afraid because with all that in the way...the marginalized people still did it. They are smarter and more agile. Their not sensitive little babies that need laws so they can get jobs they dont deserve.
DEI is a sticking plaster to a system with a broken foundation
The whole system needs rebuilding and everyone pretending having an extra black or gay person participating in the abusive system makes everything better 🧐
DEI isn’t really needed, the problem in American jobs isn’t anything diversity related, it’s nepotism. Nepotism is rife in the US. It is not a white man that is getting the job over a black woman. It is the nephew of a board member getting the job over anyone, regardless of race and gender. 1/2
In turn, due to these board members having generational wealth, the vast majority are white and traditional, meaning jobs are going to white men because that’s who is on the board. Ban nepotist hiring and you’ll see diversity naturally.
It's called the "second to last passion." Essentially, people are fine being treated like garbage, as long as they aren't at the bottom of the pecking order. They're also bitter their kids aren't giving them grandchildren, so now they're forcing women to birth them- "if I had to, you have to"
I always say, people love inequality, so long as it's not them getting the short end of the stick. That last sentence is truer than most people want to admit. Lots of parents have children with the expectation that their children will continue spreading their genes. It's all very primitive.
Because of two things: internalized misogyny (from religion) and pure, unadulterated racism. And I'm a white woman. Who did Voted for Harris! Because I broke free from the internalized misogyny (and a cult) and I try to not be racist. We all have internalized things we learned and now have to unlear
True. Red states are last in education, health, and opportunity. Highest in crime. Most reliant on federal dollars. Our gun laws arming Mexican cartels. Fentanyl is being trafficked by US citizens.
Obama & Biden deportation rates than Trump.
Going back to the 90s, Dems should've been pushing back.
I had a friend for 34 years. This Boston college professor was liberal until she met her husband and married at 37. It's the racism & misery that unites them too. A white upper middle-class utopia that never existed except in 1950s television.
Elon claimed to be the best online gamers in the world and got caught frauding. He also claimed to be a guy named Dittmann trolling for Elon and got caught.
Kind of like a guy who names himself winner of a golf tournament he wasn't in, or put himself on covers he wasn't on? something about thin-skinned, narcissistic sociopaths.😁
The interesting fact is: that girl can still beat him to the finish line. Which is the real case with most of what they call DEI hires. They get there dispute all that!
That doesn't describe anything actual existing DEI did though. DEI was what white liberals in positions of power did to avoid doing anything about the racism in their companies.
I think some white guys are pissed because they see that more women are going to & finishing college and black women have the largest % of college graduates of any group. Perhaps instead they could teach their sons discipline in behaviors & ambition as many are aimless & ruderless
I bet the next thing that cones us no women in men’s sports. This goes beyond Trans folk in athletics. Just my two cents. Not being dismissive of the issue at hand.
They know. What they desire is to have all the advantages back without saying the racist, sexist and homophobic parts out loud.
They use classic 1984 doublespeak - making it out as if DEI gives unfair advantages to LGBTQ2S, women and POC.
Republicans always make sure to artificially tilt the scale to white, rich and male. Scales tilted for hillbilly slave states made the electoral college. Tax breaks for billionaires are DEI.
The system is screwed. You need a charter of rights and freedoms like Canada has.
For sure!! And the ableist parts too; not only did they try to be sexist when blaming the plane crash on DEI, they went straight to disabled employees as if it’s unreasonable and dangerous for us, the 25 percent of the population w/ disabilities to have jobs, too.
Diaper Don hates the disabled. I'm sure his daddy Drumpf drove it into him that you can pretend to be disabled to get out of your civic duty - just don't actually be disabled.
Have the man on the left standing on a chariot being pulled by people of color, and THEN it will be truly accurate. Oh, and also tie a lead from his chariot to her waist. These men do nothing but ride on others' efforts and talent.
Just watching a snippet of news with the bird flu and it's pretty scary but they just dropped dead. It's also normal for birds to actually do that with the bird flu.So if you take that to a human level that could be as scary hell (something never seen before) some a**** saids all the time SCARY!
During WW2 american’s segregated their black armed forces to fight for freedoms! After the war, blacks contined to be segregated on public schools, transport, eat houses etc. Just let that sink in! We in europe are educated about the good, bad and ugly of our allies!
Our system is FUCKED&TOTAL BS!PoC/women/ppl w/ disabilities/etc. have historically been treated terribly&held to very different standards.VP Dan Quayle COULDN’T spell potato, but Kamala was BLAMED for CA’s homeless situation&MFs were asking DAILY why she didn’t override Biden&fix everything.WTF?!🖕🤬🖕
For every so called "DEI" hire people complain about, there is about 3-4x discriminatory hires that we have to experience and endur (and ignored). The narrative around this is ridiculous and racist bc anytime bad happens, its bc DEI. Notion that "white" people are better than everyone else for jobs
First professional job - male with no experience is brought in making much more than me and I had years of experience. I asked why. He has a family. I left and he was a complete dud.
Explains why DEI was/is a thing. Imagine those huge obstacles cleared for the Black woman. They should have the same level of clearance not with her being burdened with more obstacles because of her skin color..
The number of obstacles I encountered was cray cray! I overcame most of them by simply doing what I love and focusing on the science. Stress was through the roof however…… eventually was diagnosed with cancer, likely caused by sustained stress and trauma.
Honest question: if DEI is the right thing to do..why isn't it just an automatic thing done by companies etc who should reap the rewards of a more productive workforce? What are employers views on DEI? Is it already embedded in hiring culture because it has demonstrated positive outcomes? I hope so.
Without DEI my adult daughter would most likely not have become a federal employee and would be forced to stay home or live in a home for disabled people because there would be nowhere for her to go! She lives in an electric chair, which are her legs to get around! This is so sad and ignorant😔😫😞
What’s sad is that some only think others can achieve based on something other than their abilities. If your answer to why you achieved is something other than “I earned it”, yikes!
The only thing is that she should be a white woman as they benefited more than any other group under DEI. You know racist Trump supporters will think good we don’t want a black woman no matter what.
It’s silly really, the least disadvantaged group among those considered disadvantaged benefits the most from DEI. The progressive stack was always ideologically poisoned.
Totally agree, but for the Republican morons they need to be shown that DEI yes helped people of color but it helped rural individuals- see JD Vance, veterans, and white women. It will not make them less racist but maybe they can at least learn how it benefits people.
If the lady picked up the ball she would still beat the old man.
Is this saying its unfair to penalize someone for being old
or is it saying stupid/lazy people lose because they cant be bothered to pick the ball up?
there you go with the pretend Black women image of dei. this isn't dei. this is America's treatment of the Black communityas a whole, way before dei became the in word...... now, try using a white women in your oh no moment. stop using Black women as your excuse for dei surrender.
I'm wholly for those. My concerns revolve around affirmative action and people getting critical jobs like firefighters if they do not have all the necessary physical and mental skills. I'm very willing to listen to those who feel every aspect of DEI is correct
I like the comedian who says we should make all cops black to avoid racial problems and all firefighters white because, as we all know, they are more outdoorsy.
DEI was never meant to put incompetent black people in jobs. It was meant so that various races were not necessarily excluded. I worked for a govt agency that had an incompetent accountant. He got a new manager and was promptly fired. Was the problem DEI or management?
With affirmative action, I fear that that can cause unrest the likes of which seem to have resulted in a convicted Felon destroying what was a fully functioning country
I always try to look at matters as objectively as I can. I am unable to check the evidence, but it is when I read about firefighters being employed who are unable to lift an average weight male adult. It could be either women or men but they must be able to do that
I did say I hadn't seen the evidence but affirmative action is of a nature that can cause unrest in a majority population and in USA 'apparently' there were firefighters who did not have the body strength to lift full grown men or overweight females
So, that didn't actually happen. There were no firefighters that couldn't pull their weight. That's a lie made up by the right wing to try and get rid of DEI.
It should cause more unrest that this racism/sexism exists in the first place, but it doesn't so DEI it is.
It does cause me unrest that racism and sexism exists but it doesn't mean that everything that may have been tried in the USA to counter it has been perfect.
Just remember "they" are a very, very small group amongst the white males. Those white males wouldn't (sorry, I hate this gross analogy) wouldn't bother to pee on us to if we were on fire. They'd just wait and go through our wallets afterward.
I’ve never met a man who was told he can’t get into a trade because of his gender. So, no, it’s not just rich white boys having an advantage of at least not having to fight to be allowed to learn something
I love this. I work in accessibility - one of the areas that this admin is trying to erase and dismantle. All we’re trying to do is to remove any disability-related barriers from the path to make the race as fair as it can be. Success is still up to the student. It blows my mind that anyone would

More than half of households are run by women.
Women don't have equal rights. ERA was never ratified.
Paid maternity leave is not mandated by federal law.
Goods, services, taxes, rents, mortgages, utilities are not pro-rated for gender or even race.
Even though white middle-age men still run the show let's pretend DEI is effecting them.
Under GOP policies, who thinks women should get massive increases in child support garnished from men's paychecks?
Any man who commits rape or pedophilia is castrated?
ED drugs prescribed to married men only with permission from wife?
Obama & Biden deportation rates than Trump.
Going back to the 90s, Dems should've been pushing back.
I'm 100% blaming the bible and christianity for that.
But student loan forgiveness, basic health care, & raising min wage, they hate bcuz someone is getting something they're not.
Yet 2 biggest reasons for debt are the Trump & Dubya tax cuts for richest & war.

Its not really very obvious.
Many of us have always started from behind the eight ball.
In order to even get an interview you will have had the minimum the job requires.
This idea that non-qualified people off the street are just randomly getting jobs.
It's a very ignorant way to look at it and ignores the reality of the situation.

Instead, Trump has created an atmosphere of nastiness, negativity, corruption, stupidity, and chaos.
That is exactly what MAGA wants and deserves.
And you are all in it for the ride!
Those who do not see systematic racism/sexism are not willing to see it.
