"[A] state university can't use any state or federal funds to promote, support or maintain any programs or campus activities that "advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion" or "promote or engage in political or social activism."

"Florida is one of a dozen state legislatures that have introduced or passed bills to limit or eliminate DEI programs in state colleges or universities."

This is about as good an explanation of DEI as it gets.


You’re Fired, Marxist Clowns!

Thomas DiLorenzo

Quote:
The University of Florida has fired all of its “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (dei) bureaucrats.

So-called “DEI” is the latest in a long, long line of deceptive euphemisms for communism. (See the new book, Mao’s America, by Xi Van Fleet). After Marxian class conflict theory (capitalist vs. working class) failed to create communist revolutions in Europe and America, the international communist movement reinvented itself with a new class conflict theory. You may recall that it began with pervasive denunciations of “dead white European males,” i.e., the people who created the ideas of Western civilization, constitutionalism, the rule of law, Austrian economics, the protection of property rights, economic freedom, etc. That’s because the new theory of communism was that there was an “oppressor class” and an “oppressed class” in society, and only the oppressed class deserves freedom of speech in particular, and all other civil freedoms for that matter. The oppressors are defined as all white, heterosexual males; everyone else is “oppressed” by them. That’s why it’s called “identity politics” — everyone is identified as either an oppressor or the oppressed In reality it’s just old fashioned communism with a different form of Marxian class conflict. It is the result of sixty years of communist indoctrination in the colleges and universities, beginning with the “counter culture” of the 1960s, and then filtering down to all levels of schooling. Hence it is wonderful to hear that the University of Florida has fired dozens, maybe hundreds, of these evil communist clowns.

The communist movement also decided that Christianity and the traditional family were major roadblocks to communism and therefore must be destroyed as well. If the Lord is your savior, then Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Chuck Schumer cannot be. We cannot have this. Hence all the attacks on Christians, Christianity, churches, Catholic doctrine (the commie pope being the biggest perpetrator), etc. And then there is all the bizarre sex obsessions, worshipping of transvestites, transvestite reading hours in public schools, cancelling anyone who questions whether a man can become a woman and vice versa, a supreme court nominee refusing to answer the question, “what is a woman?, teaching elementary schoolers the ins and outs of all varieties of sexual behavior, and seemingly endless perverted nonsense.

All of this is sometimes called “cultural Marxism” but it is all about destroying civilized culture that has evolved over the centuries. As Ludwig von Mises wrote in Socialism, all socialists are first and foremost “destructionists” who want to destroy all of the institutions of society so that they can recreate it in their image. That of course is exactly what Soviet and Chinese communism tried to do with its utopian idiocy of improving on God’s work by creating a brand new “socialist man.” (Yes, they dared to use the word “man” and not a collection of stupid pronouns). May a thousand DEI firings bloom this spring.

Measles can count as diversity if enough money changes hands.

True, true, you and I are different DMV.

I get vaxxed for my safety and that of others - you won't cause it's all a trick.
I get my teeth cleaned - and you would never fall for that (say, face to the side when you talk - k?).
But you alone see the true truth of the truth.

You are a beacon to us all - a true road scholar....

No, you got vaxxed because you believe what the CDC tells you despite lying to your face about Covid! The shots NEVER worked! If theyhad worked so well then there was no need for everyone to get it and you of all people, Spreader of Pope Fauci Words of Wisdom should've been safe!!! You weren't. Wake up and try to use some critical thinking skills for once in your life. Espousing the Covid fantasies make you look more delusional that you normally are.


The rest of your post was just rubbish. Not worth my time to respond to.

Wall Street Scrambles To Abandon DEI As "Legal Assaults" Mount



We've been stating for months that both the DEI and ESG gravy trains on Wall Street are finally coming to an unceremonious end. Who would have guessed the profit motive would be incompatible with mindless, unproductive virtue signaling and reverse racism?

The pushback on DEI has been immense, with entire universities and corporations slashing their DEI departments. Subha Barry, former head of diversity at Merrill Lynch, told Bloomberg this weekend: “We’re past the peak.”

The report highlighted yet another shift on Wall Street, wherein programs open to people of color and women are "now open to all". Imagine that...

For example, Goldman Sachs has adjusted its “Possibilities Summit,” previously exclusive to Black college students, to now welcome White students as well. Bank of America Corp. has expanded its internal programs, initially aimed at women and minorities, to include all employees. Furthermore, Bank of New York Mellon Corp. has been advised by legal counsel to reevaluate and potentially eliminate strict diversity metrics from its workforce evaluations, according to a new report from Bloomberg.

Executives at major banks, including Goldman Sachs, publicly affirm their commitment to diversity, despite acknowledging privately the challenges posed by a growing campaign against DEI initiatives led by figures like Elon Musk and Bill Ackman, the report says.

Efforts to recruit diverse talent through programs for women and minorities are being reassessed, along with other diversity measures within corporations. Bloomberg says the shift is notable compared to the ambitious diversity pledges made by CEOs following George Floyd's murder in 2020. Almost as if it was just mindless lip service to silence the 'woke mob'...

The recent Supreme Court decision against affirmative action in colleges has intensified legal challenges to corporate diversity efforts, with banks wary of becoming lawsuit targets over claims of reverse discrimination, the report says.

"The legal assault on corporate diversity initiatives is gathering steam" after the Supreme Court's rejection of affirmative action at colleges, the report says.

While black people make up about 14% of the total population, their representation in the senior roles at banks like Citi, JP Morgan and Goldman remains 8.7%, 5% and 3.7%, respectively, the note says. However, these figures have grown significantly since 2019:

Several other financial institutions, including the Bank of New York and Bank of America are subtly altering their approaches to diversity and inclusion initiatives.

These changes range from modifying executive compensation linked to diversity progress, adjusting the language around D&I goals, reconsidering certain mentorship programs, and adapting recruitment strategies to avoid explicit references to race and gender.

Despite these adjustments, spokespeople for these banks assert their continued commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace. And, nonetheless, industry consultants (whose meaningless careers and paychecks rely solely on racial division and DEI initiatives to begin with) and some financial executives still emphasize the importance of persevering with D&I efforts, despite these internal and external pressures.

Industry consultant Duarte McCarthy told Bloomberg: “We’re not suggesting that things stop because there’s this fear factor. But rather, take a look.”

Ana Duarte McCarthy, former chief diversity officer at Citigroup concluded: “We’re at an interesting inflection point.”

Yeah, the kind of inflection point that is going to see a lot of former "Chief Diversity Officers" scrambling through LinkedIn and updating their resumes...

If we're really gonna go full on DEI... I would expect the NBA to start kicking out black players for white players... I mean, the numbers just don't match up.They should be equivalent to the country's demographics to be equitable, right? Same with football. And then the straight players have to go... need a few LGBTQ guys in there...

But that's wrong. It should be merit based (best qualified get the job!) and that should apply everywhere.

Marxists don't care for that merit stuff. They are destructionists.
That merit based talk gets in the way of remolding the world nearer to their heart's desire.

Well, they're "road scholars"(sic) so, you really have to know the emotional quotient you're dealing with.

I have mixed feelings.C ertainly, merit should rule. But, there was also a time in this country when Jews could not get admitted to many universities and colleges. If they were, their grades were sometimes deflated. It got so bad in Detroit that the doctors in Detroit at the time started Sinai Hospital so that Jewish doctors could get credentialed and be on-staff at alocal hospital.

I have mixed feelings. Certainly, merit should rule. Who the hell wants an incompetent physician, for example?

But, there was also a time in this country when Jews could not get admitted to many universities and colleges through the late 60's. If they were, their grades were often deflated.

It got so bad in Detroit that Jewish doctors in Detroit at the time started Sinai Hospital so that Jewish doctors (along with non-Jews) could get credentialed for hospital privileges...
