I like the idea of fighting back against DEI and ESG. But how would (or could) it be done? A flurry of executive orders? Those have been overdone to the point of being meaningless and quickly ignored and reversed, as we have seen in the past two administrations. 

Gotta be a pretty big scumbag to fight against DEI

Quite the blanket statement. Gotta be a terrorist to be against the Patriot Act.

Saying that your all for fighting against DEI is quite the blanket statement as well

I think he’s obviously referring to the part of DEI that is completely out of control - shutting out free speech, ostracizing people who do not support certain beliefs or lifestyles, etc.  In many institutions, these things are happening with frequent regularity.  If you attend an elite Ivy League graduate school today, it is a fascist like environment if you don’t support what a DEI office espouses.

I think the fighting back is against this.

Does this quote fight against DEI?

1. “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

No

No further discourse is warranted

If  you're looking for more than "LOL", "IDK", or other txt nonsense with no meaningful discussion, you've gone to the right guy.

if you think it fights against Diverity, Equity and Inclusion, please explain why.  Not sure what you want me to say.  I answered your exact question.  I do not think MLK would be fighting against DEI.  We have come a long way in this country but no we are no where near what he is talking about in this speech.  I do believe we will get there someday.

gtfo of here i have had many discussions on this board

My personal belief as far as DEI ( I had to look it up) is that just like CRT, most people have no clue what it is or how to define it but look at some extreme examples and say omg white people are now being discriminated against and start losing their shit. 

 Black people have been asking for people to ignore race for over 200 years and its crazy how fast people can get there when they start perceiving that they are losing their advantage because of their race, even tho I dont believe they are.  

I've never seen laws passed so quickly, it's hilarious.  Yes discrimination sucks, but to pretend that not getting into your first choice of college and blaming it on the 10 black people that go there is not discrimination.  Talking about slavery in school isnt discrimination.  It's weird to me that people cant see the irony in people who check all the boxes for the most included group are telling other people that they aren't being discriminated against, that they dont need to be included, and to just wait because someday it will happen for you just be patient.

I mean am i the only one who sees the irony/optics in a person who checks all the boxes to be included into the best group, getting on a message board with others who also check all the same boxes and asking for strategies to fight against Diversity, Equity  and Inclusion into that group?

LOL  u r czy n hav 2 mch nnsns.

Wait, when did we stop teaching about slavery in school?

I get confused when people who tell me I don't understand what CRT is, are always claiming CRT is about stuff that I remember being taught in school.  I don't know, maybe I'm not the one who doesn't understand what CRT is....

cool story bro

We're in trouble as DEI replaces what should be our proper priorities. 

From what I understand, equity is not equality, it appears it is conflated as such

You apparently know A LOT more MAGA idiots than most white people.

The stuff I see in the news - actual materials being taught - has nothing to do with Jackie Robinson.  But please continue to gaslight us with your expert, undoubtedly first-hand knowledge, of right wing idiots.
