No DEI allowed for US mergers and acquisitions, says the new FCC chair

[Voice of Reason]

“Delineation” has so far achieved absolutely nothing. It’s useless symbolism.

You know what will work though? Unification.

immigrants and POC eating off our civil rights gains have done nothing for us either.


You get to send remittances back to your homeland so we see the benefit for you.

For generationally poor ADOS/FBA it has accomplished nothing.

ADOS people being generationally poor has literally zero to do with immigrants and everything to do with white racism & white supremacy being enshrined into law and society.

Then yall FBAs had the audacity to say that Trump would make it all better. Wtf?

1. I never said immigrants are to blame. I said Immigrants were benefitting off of remedies that should exclusively go to ADOS/FBA


2. I never said Trump would make anything better for FBA. Tariq is a republican shill so he tries to argue that not me.

Guess what? Whites don’t care who you think it should go to. They are in power and whatever they say goes in the US. In fact, now they are abolishing all of those programs.

See how that works? You attack and fight the people in power not the ones who benefit from it.

Black nationalism. Pretending this is the 70/80s coming off the heels of the civil rights movement isn’t the move. White people aren’t playing with y’all anymore.

We have to learn to be extremely self sufficient or we will perish. Simple.

I agree that unification is the way forward, but Black nationalism as a real solution? I think that's naive. No form of it can work while we're still living under a white supremacist system, because we're still subject to its laws, taxes, policies, and economic controls; and history shows that any attempt at building independent Black institutions gets crushed the moment it threatens the status quo. We saw it happen with Tulsa, Wilmington, MOVE, and more. You can't just opt out of the system when it decides what resources you have access to and how you're allowed to operate. That's why I personally believe the best way forward is with engaging with power directly, through politics, economically, and socially, and not by retreating into isolation and pretending we can function separately from the forces shaping the larger reality.

Interesting. So do you really think you can “engage” the Trump government and get anywhere with that? These are scared negro talking points sir.

Can you “engage” with extremist MAGA cacs who not only wan to deprive you of opportunities but want to see you gone?

All of those terrible things occurred to those black communities because they were not properly defended. You can’t run anything if you can’t protect it first.

Unification and defense. That is the way forward. Across the US and collaborating with other black nations.

In the meantime, learn to grow your own food, build your own stuff and minimize expenses. It’s going to be rough going for a while.

 

[Lexx Diamond]

"If they ain't white they ain't right" is in full steam ahead.

 

[jwinfield]

Dont say shyt, just do it

They can’t just do this.

It requires these companies having a plan and people to develop and execute the plan.

They have to go to minor job fairs, recruit at HBCUs and participating in programs in areas where those type of careers aren’t really represented. These are all things that will soon be under attack.

I recommend brehs read this if we're talking about black economics in this country and how incompatible it's been and will be with white capitalism.

Unsurprising. Some peeps love to claim that DEI puts poc in positions they aren’t qualified for, but studies prove it primarily benefits White women. And since poc face more racial bias & obstacles in their careers, the ones who do attain regarded jobs tend to be equally, if not a bit more qualified

It's resegregation. They're trying to do nation wide segregation by locking black people out of as many jobs as they can so that it goes back to how it was in the 1950s where the only jobs available to black women were as maids and nannies, and black men were day laborers, janitors, or would aspire to be garbage truck drivers (shout out to August Wilson for capturing that depressing reality).

They want to completely reverse the economic gains black people have made and this is essentially DEI or affirmative action for white males. They want to go back to the days where all they needed to do was show up in a clean outfit and say they're ready to learn and work hard and the job was theirs.

That's what they want but it won't succeed what these idiot Cacs don't understand is that the world is more globalize now. America is not the go to or top country anymore. The more they deter the development of the country the faster it will collapse.
