Trump may a blessing in disguise, time will tell whether black people get on code or stay on the same destructive path
I'm not going to lie. I didn't see the curveball with this DEI initiative. I don't agree but understand the notion of not placing emphasis on race, sex, etc. However, cases like the Tuskegee Airman is American History, not DEI. Just like the lipstick line Target dropped that was black owned. They could have kept the product on the shelves and removed the black owned signs. Trump and his conservative machine pulled a pretty slick chess move.
If something can be easily put in place by a President's executive orders, it can be easily removed by another ones. That is why if we want things to stick, we should be pushing them to be laws, not depend on the mercy of one President's proclimation to the next.
If people do their jobs, he will have 4 years to cause havoc as the President. While that is happing, the Democrats need to be campaigning on issues the people need and working to put more of themselves in the House and Senate, preparing for the next Presidential election. Grooming up a candidates that will have a good chance of defeating the Republican canidate. If they can get the numbers in both the House and Senate, they can then craft into Laws old executive orders they want to protect.
The above would require them to also cease the focus on having wedge issues, but instead focus more on creating and enacting solutions. They do that, then the may just be able to draw more people back into the fold and off the coaches next Presidential election.
DEI was simply an anti-black term for them. No matter how much they wanted to talk about having things based on meritocracy or including other "minorities" in this, it was always used as a codeword for them to minimize black achievement.I'm not going to lie.

Idk man people are still pretty stupidThis is a 20th century tactic. It won't work in the 21st century. The train has already left the station.
People can learn history through the internet. Too many people already know about the airmen. There are movies about them, documentaries, books, and thousands of video essays and blog posts. They cannot suppress this information when the sheer volume of it exists digitally and physically.
It's not like in the 20th century where you burn books and tell the news broadcasters what to say. If people want to know something, they'll be able to access that information. If a teacher says "and if you're curious about the contributions of others, talk to me after class" all they need to do is tell their students to look up certain words and they'll fall into the rabbit hole of information.
This is the kind of action I expect out of someone who doesn't understand the fact that information is now more easily accessible than it's ever been and there is always a hidden alternative. The way that tyranny fell in the past involved people creating shadow networks of power and exchange.
I disagree, Gen-Z doesn't know basic recent history lol. They don't give a damn about history at that age.This is a 20th century tactic. It won't work in the 21st century. The train has already left the station.

It wasn’t slick tho.I'm not going to lie. I didn't see the curveball with this DEI initiative.
