When you look at it from that perspective generational wealth in the African American community is far less than what it should be due to our history. In the Latin community it's the same issue plus anyone who's recently emigrated to this country starting off with less than people who accrued generational wealth.

Remember all we're talking about is giving more people access to work. That's a good thing. But some political leaders bought by wealthy people are spreading this stupid idea that it's some big plot to replace white people. They are playing on fear to control the working class.

Jesus Christ. You almost, ALMOST, make a good point (poor people have a disadvantage), but then immediately come back with "So yeah, black people, Latin people, and recent immigrants are all poor so they need more help!"

You do realize even most white families don't have "generational wealth" and their families are either poor or barely middle class right? Of course you do, you are just once again showcasing your racism and for some reason being proud of it.

Even those who are less qualified for the job?

This type of racism is a very common trait with liberal white women.

Don't think I in any way endorse exclusion of white people from opportunities. That's not what DEI is about. That's what I've been trying to explain to you. The story you are getting from Republican leadership and the capitalist owners is that it is somehow meant to replace white people. Thats not true.

Just the ones who are straight and male right?

Sorry if I don't get to every comment and every point made in every post.

Thanks for proving you guys can actually discuss things without too much hostility. Haha

And yet you can't answer these questions. I'll ask again, you know, just in case you somehow missed them:

Take a look at this picture, Back. Do you think this represents a lack of diversity that needs to be rectified? Why or why not?

What about this picture? Same questions.

Oh right, sure sure. The ONLY post you didn't reply to is the one I posted with the pictures. You're just too busy to get around to that one!
