White males were racists. I am one of the white women who fought for equality in the law enforcement profession in the 1970s and there were others who fought their own battles for equality.
Well put! Trump is so stupid! It’s his new argument that unless you’re White you can’t be smart because he believes that he and all White men are geniuses as he basically said at that News conference.
DEI should have continued to be supported not because it is the solution but because it’s necessary. It is a policy inadequately attempting to address the consequences of white supremacy.
The solution to white supremacist beliefs involves completely dismantling imperialism and colonialism.
I tend to be uncomfortable with broad brush statements. Not all white people are like that. I spent a lifetime hiring and advocating for people of color. If they were qualified I hire them. I don't care what color your skin was.
I'm not racist and yet I know systemic racism exists and is a wonderful tool for the 1% because even right here right now, there's a crack in the unity.
That's why I strive to let people know that it's the fear that's gripping them that is making them become ostriches. Shoving their heads in the sand hoping everything will go away. Doesn't work that way.
That is correct. Though a lot of people are not racist and have done their part in ensuring fairness, DEI was, in fact, created to counter white privilege. Anyone who thinks white privilege is not a thing, then you are living in a fantasy.
Not were, ARE. None of this would be happening if it was in the past. And much like rape, it cannot be ended by its targets. It can only be ended by white people making it a badge of shame. By refusing to do business, hire, associate, etc etc. The 1% love the racism.

However, systemically they were, despite you being the exception to the rule.
We are both old enough to remember corporations were generally all white men from top to many layers below.
All women and minorities hit a ceiling then.
