So you do call yourself a MAGA?

DEI is not about requiring a company to hire black people either. I would argue the Rooney rule is DEI because it's giving more opportunity to black coaches where they have historically had very little. The downside is that if a team has a coach all set to hire, they still have to hire 2 black coaches which is degrading for them. It could use some tweaking.

In my opinion it does. I look forward to you making this a semantics argument instead of actually have a real discussion. It's what you've devolved into.

You clearly didn't read anything else in my post, or you just didn't understand it. I can dumb it down if you need.

Tardcore throws his suits in his washer and dryer Oh wait bro has never owned a suit in his life

exactly, and where DEI took things a step further is ensuring that equal opportunity. In the past a job opening could be posted online for everyone to see and apply to, and you could get 98 white men. Where DEI initiatives have taken it a step further is to say how can we get more diversity in our candidates. Sure it was open to everyone online but if only white men apply is it really fair? Maybe do some outreach in HBCUs or communities, maybe some networking, in order to get more minorities and women that you can evaluate. The NFL, there is no rule against having a black coach right? Any black person can apply to be a coach right? Well why didn't we have more black coaches? So the NFL put in the Rooney rule to give more black coaches opportunities. Does that mean a black coach can't get a job? Is it racist? Possibly especially when you have the same Deny Greens and Todd Bowles brought in for every opening knowing they wouldn't get jobs, but it also got Mike Tomlin his job and probably others. Guys that might have never even got an opportunity were passed by. So yeah there is value.

I'm a middle aged white male, the target audience of people that are told to hate DEI because it supposedly threatens me.

No, not in other words You're making up those words dummy.

It's not useless. Diversity and Inclusion is fairness, call it whatever you want. Your last comment shows me your ignorance.

My bad, you said "going away". But it's still not going away. Again, you're wrong.

Completely useless employment is not a good thing. We can all agree on that. What we disagree on is whether DEI work is completely useless, and the role of the government to push this opinion onto corporations who disagree. I say this my acknowledging that in most large corporations there is probably 10% of the staff across all functions that are completely useless. My employer had a DEI function created during covid that was in fact completely useless and they were ultimately eliminated as they should have been, was 3 people. We still have DEI goals and the function is housed in HR where it should be. We took it a little too far and corrected. Others have as well. But our CEO is still committed to DEI as a practice just doing it in a matter that is beneficial and not completely useless.

HUNTER BIDEN!@#$ Can't talk about Trump's corruption without a Hunter Biden reference.

Your own post of the story even though you didn't link it disproves that theory. There were 12k "DEI" jobs before anyone ever heard of George Floyd and the prior year gains were in the 20% range prior to Floyd, and then maxed at 25% year after. So there was a slight increase but since leveled off and now even lost jobs. After the days of free money and hiring people just to hire them, there were cuts as expected. The vast vast majority of fortune 500 companies still maintain DEI programs or goals even though they may call them something else these days as DEI has such a negative tone thanks to the maga idiots.

As A adult? Yeah I'm not some weird insecure man who think using an umbrella makes him a sissy, but I do prefer a raincoat/poncho/hat over an umbrella for most scenarios. Umbrellas are awkward if you're an a sporting event it's rude to other people by either blocking view or redirecting water onto them. Also wind makes the umbrella a PITA. Umbrella works if you're dressed up and can't avoid the rain and don't want to show up at work looking homeless.

So your theory is that these people all got together and said we're going to sell ourselves to corp America that they need to hire us, then they'll do nothing and collect bogus salaries? That's the grift?

Trump now halting ALL student visa interviews. At least he's not just Targeting Harvard anymore. Stop sending us your best and brightest. We're pivoting to producing an army of factory workers to screw together iPhones. So stupid.

Not paying taxes is one thing. Taking tax money from your employees and then spending the money yourself is another. Bro pleaded guilty and was set to pay fines but Trump stepped in and pardoned. Terrible.

You also need to donate a million bucks. Trump has perfected pay to play. The corruption is shocking

Explain. Who is the grifter? How is the grift accomplished? These "DEI people" are tricking corp America to hire them so they can do nothing and steal? Makes no sense.

Wilmerhale wins. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/27/trump-leon-wilmerhale-mueller.html Calls Trump's EO absurd. So many L's for Trump's dictatorial ambitions. Democracy is still alive.

Trump firing off again saying that if it wasn't for him things would be REALLY BAD for Russia, Russia firing back accusing trump of threatening WW3. This psychotic idiot is the one playing with fire here.

There’s a new trade on Wall Street: the TACO trade, standing for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5320263-trump-tariff-trades-markets-rise/ I haven't been trading this market but I do like tacos so I may jump on this.

You are so focking dumb.

Wrong, equity has nothing about being owed you dummy, it's about outcomes and recognizing that people are different and need different support to achieve equal outcomes. But RT is not going to explain this to you.
