Listen to this. “White people, we need to fix our problem”

"America is afraid of itself. It is totally afraid of its own history. It has never dealt with it successfully. It really thinks it's something that isn't." - Alice Walker in 1997 (Now replace America with a certain demographic)

Imagine calling yourself the winner of a game despite cheating at every stage. And you will begin to understand the arrogance of a racist.

Every single person who opposes DEI is racist. Either directly or of the colorblind variety. Either way, they endorse the lie that White men are the most qualified group of people. And thus, the inclusion of others sacrifices quality. Only a bigot thinks this way

Hhahahah!

The DOGE.gov is a smug, shameless listing of bigoted and racist acts committed by a rogue government that does not care about addressing the needs of a pluralistic society.

We are not going to get tax refunds this year, are we?

Trump and Elon are toying with the USA like it’s a Jenga game, and our enemies are enjoying the show.

Saying "40 Acres and a Mule" in front of a racist president is revolutionary. It's a reminder that Black Americans have never forgotten the promises made and broken by the federal government. This debt must be paid.

Dear maga, Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out: Diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Equity, which a just society should pursue. Inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

There are nine individuals in this restaurant. Two of us are silently eating alone. Among the remaining seven, three languages are being spoken. I love Houston’s diversity.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Our flood insurance premium has nearly doubled in four years even though we live in the 500-year flood plain. The insurance companies aren’t denying climate change.

Long before you die, we will be lamenting the trillionaire class.

Old Joe is seeming pretty good right about now.

We are living in a world frighteningly close to having trillionaires.

Elon is giving billionaires a bad name.

This is the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that Project 2025 will never allow in public schools. It flies in the face of the whitewashed lies they recite about Dr. King’s message. Also, this [economic] part of his message is why they killed him, in my humble opinion. Happy Black History Month ✊🏽✨

White mediocre men are granted more access to opportunities than any other group. This indicates our society places a higher value on race than on merit based qualifications. Ironically the bad faith argument they make against DEI is true of them. They’re the unqualified ones.

WATCH: Did you catch my 4 minute talk on last week’s plane crash and “the myth of Black incompetence”? Full 4 minutes at the link. vimeo.com/1053054843

Mexico and Canada will now view the USA as flyover country.

If you ever forget your SSN, you could always DM Elon.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.
