Both. I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship
White women do have a greater reason to speak up in favor of DEI. Because they are white, and most often aligned with white males, the benefit of privilege comes to them despite the fact that they are women. And women in our society are victims of the lack of DEI."systemic racism" "white voice" the usual racialist claptrap... the buzzwords are plentiful here
Target diversity chief demands 'White women' get to work against America's systemic racism

She proceeded to say that it was the role of "White women" to call out "transgressions."
"I think the number one thing that I would encourage White women to do is take the [DEI] learnings… and use your voice… so the woman of color in the room doesn't always have to."
She then singled out a White person present in the panel discussion and said her voice, on the basis of her race, would be given more weight in the workplace.
"Because whether it's right or not… there are places that you and I will go where your voice will be heard differently than mine. And that is why we're doing this work. That's why it's so important to have this conversation. But we also can't ignore the systemic history that got us here and then the things that we have to do differently to remove those barriers," she said.
It was talking about culture like that's so deeply woven in your strategy. It has to be," she said. "So it is daunting. It's not for the faint-hearted… But it gets easier every day."
"Given the calls for racial equity over the past year, we know that many companies are standing up or deepening their investments in their diversity and inclusion work… DE&I is not meant to rest on one individual’s shoulders," she added. "This work requires shared accountability and responsibility, which is why it’s so critical to create an infrastructure – a system with tools that allow you to integrate DE&I into your ecosystem in a way that truly drives your business."
If you want people from the other side to take your threads seriously, don't post FOX links. FOX has shown a clear pattern of bias, lies of omission, hyperbole, and outright lying. Most of their stories are easily found on less problematic sites and reported in a less sensationalistic manner."systemic racism" "white voice" the usual racialist claptrap... the buzzwords are plentiful here

so dont. im not here to cater to your wishes
You start threads often so IMO, clearly you want some support for your viewpoints. Why use a stupid source when there are so many others out there? Seems like common sense to me.
1964 Civil Rights legislation. Once it became federal law in housing, emplotment etc "system" racism was impossible to continue.
I dont NEED any support. DP is much more progressive then other boards ive been on. I am not looking for accolades or support here.You start threads often so IMO, clearly you want some support for your viewpoints. Why use a stupid source when there are so many others out there? Seems like common sense to me.
Why do you self-sabotage your attempts for insightful discussion by using poor sources? Do you really not realize that the reputations of FOX, Breitbart, Washington Examiner, etc. basically torpedo the initial impression of your thread topic?
I dont disagree because whites werent redlined or blacks wernt subjected to blockbusting
Im not a teenage girl with "hurt feelings" .I am voraciously opposed to DEI - equity is the mandated opposite of equal opportunity
damn straight. there are just laws on anti-discrimination. there is nothing justice about destroying womens sports
using race based equalization for outcomes ( not race based equal opportunity) is anathema to a just/merit based society
Yes, it is. Overt displays of racism were no longer accepted, which is why it went underground.
I'm sorry, but that is utterly ridiculous.
And there it is.
im not even wasting my time with progressive noise mixed with crappy cherry picked statistics

Lee Atwater knew this, and leveraged it for the Republican "Southern Strategy:"
You start out in 1954 by saying, “N*****, n*****, n*****.” By 1968 you can’t say “n*****”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N*****, n*****.”
I'm sorry, but that is utterly ridiculous.
• Racial segregation in housing is better than in the early 60s, but has increased since 1990
• Not only did the legacy of racial redlining not disappear in a puff of smoke in 1968, it still happens today
• There's racial bias in getting mortgages
• There's racial bias in assessing homes
• Schools are still heavily segregated
• Classrooms are rife with implicit bias
• Policies like Stop-And-Frisk were rather obviously racist
• Blacks are still arrested at higher rates for crimes committed equally by whites (e.g. Blacks and whites consume cannabis at the same rates, yet Blacks are 4 times more likely to be arrested than whites for possession -- even after decriminalization/legalization in states)
• Racial bias still exists in traffic stops
• Blacks get longer prison sentences for the exact same crimes, and yes that's corrected for past convictions
• Blacks get paid less for the same jobs
• Blacks have significantly less assets than whites (see above link)
• Even Black immigrants get paid less than other immigrants, even when comparing the same education levels
• There's still racial bias in healthcare
The idea that racism magically vanished in 1968 is self-serving nonsense. Systemic racism is still alive and well, and you can't wash your hands of it just by wishing it out of existence.
drop the equity and im find with inclusiveness .it has nothing to do with "old habits" -it's a bastardization of equal opportunity
When the thread topic is about a systemic issue, personal anecdotes are not a compelling rebuttal.
You aren't demonstrating a firm grasp of the words "equality" and "equity" in your posts.
You aren't demonstrating that you understand "equity" or "equality" in how and what you are posting.
equity is forced equal outcomes - despite merit -based on other factors such as skin color
You’d be using them wrong then
not by itself as it can be a myopic POV -agreed. However what Im describing is pretty much universal in the USA
