This is going to be another good-news DivThu. As we toiled for two decades in despair on this topic, we should do this more while we have the wind at our backs.
We have to celebrate the last few years’ worth of steady victories. We’ve earned a little happiness.
The real turn took place with the solid-if-not-complete victory at the Supreme Court a couple of years ago.
We got another push when people with significant heft and backing like Chris Rufo started their no-holds-barred attacks on the bad faith actors of division.
As reported last month in the WaPo, more and more cases are going to court. The evil spawn of Cultural Marxism that the Diversity Industry forces on the nation no longer holds others fear as they once did. They are still a danger to reputation and career, but they are weaker. The more fresh air and light it gets, the weaker they become … and the more vicious its true believers will be…or perhaps they will simply fade away - but there is too much money and ego involved. I wouldn’t count on it.
Keep up the pressure.
As you read the rest of the post, remember what our Navy has done and supported for decades - especially but not exclusively under the previous CNO - to support the whole cadre of discredited hucksters sowing strife;
Joshua Young, a corrections officer in the Colorado prison system, was shocked by the lessons of the anti-bias training session he was required to attend in March 2021. With its references to “white supremacy,” “white exceptionalism” and “white fragility,” the training sent a clear and disturbing message to his mind: All White people are racist.
“I thought the training was potentially harmful to our staff relationships, relationships between staff and offenders, and undermined us in so many ways,” Young, 47, said in an interview. “It told us basically that … we were unable to treat people fairly just because of the way they look.”
So Young sued, becoming one of more than a half dozen White plaintiffs alleging that workplace bias trainings tread on their civil rights. The cases are part of a broader legal and political backlash that has targeted an array of DEI programs, from corporate fellowships to state and federal programs aimed at ensuring that women and racial minorities have access to jobs, government contracts and other benefits.
The wave has only just begun on the legal front, but there is even more good news in both culture and industry.
For those who like podcasts, I’d like to offer up a great telling of victory from the man who over the summer single-handedly took on major corporations’ DEI programs and stacked up victory over victory.
Take time to listen to Robby Starbuck on Michael Malice’s podcast, “Your Welcome.”
And from the school that one thing the Diversity Industry’s bad faith actors cannot stand it humor and mocking - a movie length joy by Matt Walsh, “Am I a Racist?”
When you start to feel the tide turn in your favor, that isn’t when you take the pack off. No, that is when you call in the reserves to exploit an advantage.
Push back where you can. Support where you are able. Obstruct or slow roll if you have no other option. The game is afoot.
I applied to an investment role with a multinational recently. There was a battery of bullshit neopronouns. I look forward to that being gone.
DEI and CRT are not going away. They will be renamed
