It's not about politics, the political guy says during a very political press release.

Divided we fall, and these dumbasses along with the media cannot stop driving a stake in the divide.

This is an honest question: why does no other race say things like this? You never hear Hispanic or Asian folks talk about “progressing their culture”. What exactly needs to be progressed in Black culture? Again, honest question; I’m just looking to be educated.


Translation: we still haven't figured out how to exist in modern, polite society so you better give us special treatment or else you're racist

I have an honest question, do HBCUs such as Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman have a DEI staff? Or did they before Florida slashed the spots?

This is total bullshite.
They are telling “their people” that they aren’t smart enough to think for themselves.

No need to be mad at the athletes. The NAACP started this.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion

Has always been the issue IMO. It's not let's ensure everyone is given the same fair shake. It is move the goalposts until everyone has the same results. We should 100% ensure that everyone is afforded the same opportunities despite their race, gender, religion, sexual preference, etc. We should not be hamstrung by bureaucracy and forced to change requirements based off those same identifiers to achieve equal results.

yeah tell them to turn down a free athletic ride and possible NIL opportunities for a free education, that will show them while hurting your own community

Shouldn't the NAACP be recommending black people attend school and get an education?

Says a lot about the culture.

DEI is bad for black people. We need to give the immigrant approach a try; work hard, make sure our kids speak well and focus our education efforts on careers that pay well. It is what we did.

Equity is the horse shite, and siding with the idiots that don't think black people know how to get IDs is idiotic. I believe in equality of opportunity, it's what makes America such a beautiful place to live. Equality of outcomes is disgusting, and takes away the individualism that defines us as a people.

Did they put out something similar for Texas?

Texas’s elimination of DEI in state institutions started in Jan of this year.

Black student-athletes


Not pretending to know what others think but I have a high confidence interval that "black student-athletes" DGAF about that liberal DEI bullshite, it's all about swag, NIL, performing on the field/court, kicking arse, getting that money, and partying. Ain't nobody got time for that "woe is me, I'm so oppressed but not actually" mumbo jumbo snake oil.
