Black ppl are 7th (last) when it comes to receiving DEI benefits

I must say Tariq usually has foresight on matters such as this but the ending of this program will harm black people too.So the Honorable Tariq Nasheed was right.
I do appreciate his zeal for lineage based legislation because it is very much needed
Can you name one white woman who has been helped through DEI and Affirmative Action? No you can't, but you believe the data that they were helped more than blacks.
You probably don't know any white women or black people affected negatively from the removal of DEI or Affirmative actions, but I'd rather believe the data and facts over who you personally know in real life. In California, the number showed that black enrollment in colleges immediately decreased after Affirmative Action was banned in the state in 1996.
After the national Affirmative Action ban in 2023, MIT saw black enrollment drop from 15% to 5%.
MIT: US university says diversity slumps after affirmative action ban
MIT says intake of some minority groups has fallen from 25% to 16% in one year after a Supreme Court decision.www.bbc.com
With the Affirmative Action ban, Duke University ended its full ride scholarship program for black students.
Duke recently ended its scholarship program for Black students. What have other universities done?
Duke recently ended the Reginaldo Howard Memorial Scholarship Program for “top applicants of African descent,” in response to “changes to the legal landscape related to race-based considerations in higher education.”www.dukechronicle.com
Plus what I mention with the George Floyd scholarship, and the grant fund for black women businesses in Atlanta being eliminated, these are real people being affected.
It's shame that you would dismiss their setback because you don't know them personally in real life. I don't know anyone personally in real life who is dealing with the California fires, but I still feel bad for those who lost everything.

A culture that supports diversity and inclusion has a flow on effect increasing a diversity and inclusiveness within society.
A culture that is opposed to diversity and inclusion creates a flow on effect of a less diverse and inclusive society.
And yes diversity and inclusivenes was never solely for Black people, but even if we aren't the biggest beneficiaries of DEI, that doesn't mean we eliminating it will have no impact on us.

These are facts. We only get crumbs most times. Black businesses were awarded 1.6% of gov contracts…
My "dumb ass question" was in response to your dumb ass statement that you "don't know one black person in real life" that benefitted from Affirmative Action or DEI, as if that is some bold declaration. There is a lot of shyt you don't know in real life.

I like how you ignore all the facts I posted just to focus in on that irrelevant statement about knowing any white women. It just demonstrates that you don't know what the fukk you're talking about and trying to red herring out of the discussion. Go ahead, do what you do best.

No shocker. Cacs are the worst thing to happen to this planet. You got the ignorant poor/middle class cacs looking at black folk who are making it like we just got sht handed to us. When in reality a lot of us got it out the mud and are still busting our ass to thrive in this country after years of simply surviving.
Ain't no govt program that's gonna just solely help blk folk primary. That probably ain't never gon happen until we make moves collectively to force the issue. Instantly got of these neanderthals game plan when they went all out to #stopasianhate meanwhile folk being getting targeted foor 400 years and little legislations to stop it.
Its been known the founders/ colonizers of this land specifically made blk folk the subjugated underclass so of course we gonna be last in DEI/Affirmative action hirings/enrollments. These HR crakkas probably be like
"ok no yt women, no Hispanic, no Asians, no disabled, native American and no Arabs applying for the job...FINE! we'll hire this N word.. shyt we have no other choice, we've already reached our cave man quota, dammit"...
That's how it be, these programs were never intended to primarily help folk, given the data its pretty obvious or folk would at least be number 3-4. Without even researching we just know brehs finna be last and I can bet you there's even a decent gap between sistas hired in these programs vs brehs.
They don't want blk folk period but they scared shytless of ever allowing qualified brehs to be on these comfy, high paying govt jobs and other lucrative roles. Then when you get in these roles they target the hell outta ya.
I remember when I was still in Corp and we exclusively worked from home during covid. These motherfukkers were so anal about me having my camera on in particular and steady tryna enforce little petty just to have control or frustrate a brotha
That was the final straw before I pivoted to working for myself and it was the best decision i made in my life.
The facts are they'll begrudgingly hire a very qualified brehs in these higher up positions and if you do get the role then best believe you still gonna have to deal with microaggressions and passive aggressiveness.
Blk folk in general. That's we especially gotta strive for entrepreneurial opportunities after working for a while. Easier said than done and unfortunately blk be too content simply getting that well paying salary even if they getting mistreated since we be going through bull sht in America job or no job.
Prolific posting.
I dap both posts.
You earned it.

Actually white people. Meaning white men and white women resent us.
For creating civil rights.
For giving their women civil rights in legislature.
White people are mad. They had to legally recognize their women as people. Where white women voted to go back to a time.
where they were not represented. I guess white women want to go back to owning pappy plantation. Not realizing white women and white men made it so. Their own women can not have any power moving forward.
Yet those birth of a nation white Karen's are all gung ho.
To have no rights.
Plus so busy trying to create a power structure. That puts them in a position of having no power at all whatsoever. As well as not voting in a woman president. To drive home white women want no rights and to be under a white man.

We are about to see Black infrastructure collapse from federal, state, to local contracts. HBCUs, who are the engine that create the Black middle class, face closures, and other calamities due to these trojan horse DEI attacks whose intention is to crater Black infrastructure.
We will be digging out of hole as deep as what we faced in 1865.
We made it before massa gave us a hand out we will make it after too
So you sayin this is the time to go back to Africa ?
