Comments for Under Biden, federal DEI spending exploded, Trump will remedy that | Eastern North Carolina Now

The far left narrative is very rarely the truth, but lemmings like Bolshevik Bob think it is. They are delusional.

Bigot Bob also seems to hate white people for existing.

Hating people for existing puts you in another class. Not even animals do that.

The “I’m rubber, you’re glue” won’t either.

The human race called. They’re inviting you to join.

Cheap insults, blame, cowardice… none make your case.

The big difference is that the far left takes a collectivist approach of dealing with people only as members of arbitrary groups, while conservatives believe that people should be dealt with as individuals. As Dr. Martin Luther King famously stated, people should be "juddged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin." Or as his neice has said "the only race that matters is the human race."

The "E" in DEI stands for "equity" which is given a Marxist definition of equality of result, which is the opposite of the traditional American support of equality of opportunity.

DEI covers a lot more than race. For example the Biden FAA used DEI to call for hiring of more blind, deaf, and pshchologically disturbed people as air traffic constrollers, and since that has been going on, we have had a lot more near misses between aircraft at airports. The criteria should be who is most capable of doing the job to keep the public safe, and northing else.

When you have a major operation, do you use DEI to choose your doctor? No, I didn't think so.

Does the inclusion of people of color really bother you that much? I don't think you guys hate DEI, I think you hate the idea of including others. Why? It's not pie. Making sure others are included does not in any way exclude you.

White supremacy was the political campaign doctrine of the Democrat Party at the turn of the 20th century. It was opposed by the Republican Party and the Populist Party, both of which contained white members. The Republican Party was the primary party of southern blacks at the time, so they had both whites and blacks, and opposed white supremacy. The Populist Party was mostly or entirely white and they also opposed white supremacy. White supremacy was introduced by the Dmeocrat Party as a partisan political ploy.

You might check with your fellow leftists on that statement, Bigot Bob. Some of them routinely now call black conservatives "white supremists".

Those 800 words blew Little Bobbie's silly far left talkiing point completely out of the water. Real history beats far left agitprop.

Displaying your historical ignorance again, there, Bigot Bob? Jim Crow was very much a partisan political ploy by the Democrats. Democrats own it.

The Democrats turning to white supremacy and Jim Crow in the late 1890s and just after the turn of the century was a partisan political ploy against the "Fusion" alliance of the Republicans and the Populists. The Republicans at the time were a combination of blacks and former Union sympathizers from the War Between the States. The Populists represented small farmers, mostly white who had a bellyfull of the Democrats kowtowing to the special interests (sounds a lot like today, doen'st it?). The Republicans and Populists all across the South formed alliances against the Democrats. They ran as the "fusion" ticket. In some states like North Carolina, the fusion ticket ousted the Democrats from power and in others, they presented a very serious challenge to the Democrats.

White supremacy was a calculated Democrat ploy to try to bring the voters for the Populist Party back to the Democrats and to suppress the Republican votes from blacks. Its motivation was entirely political rather than racial, although its impact was very racial. The Democrats used tactics must worse than just the oppressive Jim Crow laws. Part of their political campaign was goon squad tactics, the sorst example of that being the Wilmington Massacre there they killed a number of black Republicans.

Unfortunately, the white supremacy ploy of the Democrats worked. It crushed the Populist Party and suppressed some of the Republican vote, leaving Democrats in unchecked power throughout the South. The laws implementing the Dmeocrats white supremacy ploy were the Jim Crow laws. In North Carolina the first Jim Crow laws were passed in the 1899 legislative session after the Democrats first wrested control of the General Assembly back from the fusion alliance, with another raft of them following in the 1901 session. All Democrats voted for the Jim Crow laws and all Republicans and Populists voted against them.

Jim Crow was a purely political ploy and by the Democrats. Read your history, Bigot Bob, and you might learn something, instead of just throwing out questionable far left talking points.
