I am a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) expert

what-the-hell

disclaimerI understand DEI is a reactionary canard, but if you are referring to yourself as a DEI expert, I expect your analysis to be better (or at least more convincing) than thinking Black folks are like Pig Pen from The Peanuts except instead of dust motes swirling around them there are bullets.

Ah yes, THE BLACKS, known for being shot at, haha! Such delightful people homie-what-set-you-from

literally the most racist take Forbes has ever run

[–] UserNameIsRequired@lemy.lol 26 points 4 months ago

Or the most hilariously aware.

Saving a google:

The author is a black guy. I don't know if that makes it any "better," but like, goddamn.

Also his Wikipedia literally describes him as a DEI expert. Which I found funny because it sounded totally made up as something to be an expert in. Like a self aware racist would call themselves that as a sort of joke.

Obviously he's a very public figure. Lots of info. But, saving the google.

I didn't pay thousands of dollars and spend years studying under both Professor Emeritus Vance Medley and Professor Valerie Variance to have my DEI double-doctorate slandered like this on the internet.

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 4 months ago

Lmao.

It's just the exact description sounded funny given the recent context of Republicans calling everything DEI this and that

His actual degrees in like racial equity are more along the lines of what I expected in a description, but that's probably just my own brainrot brought on by right wingers.

It's really just making it that much more obvious how "DEI hire" and such are only ever specifically meant to be slurs. You can't say "the racial hire? To fill the BLACK quota?" but you can plausibly ask about DEI hires... well you could. They've run that in the ground already.

now that i think about it, yeah, we could probably kill every journalist in this country and nothing of value would be lost.

[–] Hohsia@hexbear.net 27 points 4 months ago

The internet called journalism much like how video killed the radio star

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

More and more people are saying it

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 30 points 4 months ago

Are they talking about the TikToks where black people are walking into the room with a shit eating grin to the tune of Many Men? That's the most generous interpretation of the headline I could think of and it's still shit.

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 27 points 4 months ago

haha what the fuck man

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

I thought all the Biden talk had broken liberals' brains, but apparently there was still another level to unlock.

Today has been a fantastic day for laughing at brainworms, so much material.

This is an onion article right? No way this isn't an onion article, it's so ridiculously well crafted to be anything but fake; it can't be real, no way.
