Comments for Trump closes all federal DEI offices for good at 5PM today; returns to merit system | Eastern North Carolina Now

Leave it to the far left to blame people who were not even alive at the time for something their ancestors did. Should we hold modern Italians responsible for some of the genocidal acts of ancient Rome? Should modern French people hang their heads in shame over the Reign of Terror? "Inherited guilt" is total bullsh!t. The actual Nazis were punished at the Nuremburg trials, as they should have been for what they did. It is insane to punish people who were not even born at the time.

I think "white powder" may be the best explanation of Bozo Bob I have seen.

white powder, Bobbie? Maybe that explains the gibberish you post here.

The type of water Little Bobbie would lead you to is a malaria infested swamp. Good think you don't drink.

Steve: DEI is a "feel good" set of convoluted principles that provide a sense of well being for people of soft intellectual horizons.

Names don't tell you a whole lot. A good example is the current GOP National Committeewoman from NC whose first name is Keshia, and she is a white woman. We had a former GOP state chairman whose first name was Hassan but he was a black Christian. On the other hand, I remember in the same week of district court with Mitchell Norton prosecuting, there was a black gentleman in Martin County whose given names were Stonewall Jackson and another in Beaufort County whose given names were Robert E. Lee. Mitchall also prosecuted a white guy that week whose last name was Superman, so he joked that in one week, he had prosecuted Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, and Super Man. Seeing those names on applications, other than Superman of course, would give someone the wrong impression about race.

DEI is systemic discrimination. What you refer to may happen occaisionally but is not systemic.

There you go again, Bigot Bob, playing the race card. Why do you hate white people so much? Most of us want a color blind society based on metit.

Unnecessary, Little Bobbie, because that only happens in your little mind. The denial of jobs, college admissions, etc. based on racial preferences due to DEI is real as established by evidence in court cases.

For the stupid one here, I will vote for Bobbie. He displays that almost daily.

The Los Angeles Fire Department is an example of how DEI works. Last year they hire their first lesbian fire chief. Now the top five people in the fire department - funny thing - are all lesbians. Were they the most qualified people for those jobs? Of course, not.

I suspect DEI will be ended for good for two reasons. One is the Democrats got clobbered this election over their woke agenda. If they keep playing the woke card, they will keep losing. The other is the Constitution. Racial preferences go down the drain when challenged in court as recently happened to UNC and Harvard. The Trump administration's DOJ will permanently destroy DEI in the courts.

Bobbie, I don't know if your stupid or if you think readers here are stupid, but your comment is nonsense. DEI does a lot more than just assure someone an interview. Lets look at actual facts on how DEI impacted college admissions from supreme court cases on the subject, and lets even leave out your bugaboo about white people. The facts showed that under DEI admissions procedures, Asian-American students with much higher scores were being denied college adminission, while black students with lower scores were admitted. Racial preferences like that are totally un-American and un-Constitutional, and the supreme court disallowed them.

Wait until you see the Trump DOJ start going after corporations that play those racial preferences games. Why do you think so many of them are suddenly dumping DEI and ESG?

Racial preferences are simply wrong, no matter what race is on the receiving end.

Nothing wrong with merit. However when JaQuill can’t get an interview but James barely has to show up to get the job, please explain the merit in that?
Make it make sense.
