    DEI has become the socially-acceptable way to say the N-Word

    And claiming someone is a DEI-Hire or “Won because of DEI”, has become the polite way to say that a black person’s accomplishments are invalid due to them being black.

    Don’t forget, the phrase DEI ends in a HARD “r” for these people.

    It’s hard to imagine anyone more corporate than Beyonce: a soulless, money-driven try-hard record-company employee of the month.

    I’m not really a fan of hers, but I’m pretty certain she won a Grammy because she’s fucking Beyonce not because she’s black.

      These white supremacists are thrown into confusion whenever a white person isn’t chosen for anything at all. Which would just be pathetic, but they run the country so it’s a problem.

      To quote Sonny from In the Heights, “racism in this nation has gone from latent to blatant”. And that was in 2008. I wonder what he’d say now.

    DEI is the reason I have a pimple on my face. It’s the reason why it’s only a slightly nice day. It’s because of DEI that that I have an itch in a hard fo reach place on my back. It’s because of DEI I didn’t properly time that roll in Dark Souls. It’s because of DEI my wife is allergic to polen.

    And so on, and ao forth. What’s your X reason to blame DEI?

    The Grammys are awards for whoever spent the most money on recording and marketing anyway. They have little to do with any kind of artistic or technical merit or musicianship. Maybe never did.

      This is basically their “all fronts” approach to walk back perceptions. It’s about controlling the narrative so that it’s ingrained in the psyche that there’s an airs of illegitimacy around anything a minority does.

      It’s entirely rooted in their supremacist playbook.

      Gods, take the crypto/tech bro young adults that are being hired by Elon and used to destroy and infiltrate sensitive government systems right the fuck now. The extreme disconnect between what’s happening and what they’re fake angry about is fucking wild.

      ‘Hiring and promotion practices that help emulate or better represent the population as a whole, to better enable minorities to grow equally with the majority population’ is wrong!’

      But on the other end;

      ‘Let me hire my bro from college/from a wealthy donor family/from within my family/from a friend of the family, etc who is highly under qualified and has the sketchiest of loyalties but is loyal to me alone since I am making him from scratch and he owes me everything…’

      And not a single republiklan sees anything wrong with it. Fucking hell. Even these comments on this website are going to bite me in the ass in the next year or so. I could lose my employment by not showing enough loyalty to our ‘golden god’ and his ‘crypto Jesus’. This is bonkers.

      The Vice President of the United States said an openly racist, belligerently so with extremely racist online comments, shouldn’t have been canceled and should be able to keep his job at dismantling our US government systems. It blows my mind.

    Racist Congressman Burgess Owens (R-UT) has joined the disproportionately vocal minority of racists who were unimpressed by Beyoncé at the Grammy Awards last Sunday because she’s black.

    Write it like the truth, because anything else downplays how awful these people are.

    “America has a problem?” , Trump and his minions are feeding every Democratic institution into the woodchipper. American has cut off tens/hundreds of millions of real live Human beings, all across the world from foreign aid consisting of life sustaining food, clean water, and medications, the death toll will be astronomical.

    We’re posting “articles” about what one dipshit said about Beyonce?

      It’s because race and politics are historically intrinsically tied in America, and DEI is essentially the new n word as coopted by racist bigots.

      I have no problem with this being considered politics as it’s parallel dehumanization and delegitimization tactics to those used in Nazi Germany.

        It’s politics because it’s blatant racism from a public figure but all political events are not created equal. Engaging with toxic (but ultimately shallow) headlines like this is amplifying the Flood of Shit.

        Your outrage is a smoke screen keeping the actual dismantling of democracy out of the public eye.

        I’d even go so far as to say too much political gravity is conceded to tariffs and other international Trump panic. America loses credibility but tariffs can be rescinded and alliances slowly rebuilt. It’s not so easy to regain control of a government with no opposition after a political purge.

        Trump’s last term quietly expanded ICE resources in one forgettable 24 hour news cycle. Now we’re seeing how they use the GOP Gestapo as a federal police force against undesirables. People need to see that, but it won’t get through their (sometimes literal) Trump content filter.

      I believe ‘America Has a Problem’ is in the title because it’s the title of a song written by Beyonce. It’s just a reference that’s also relevant.
