When we live in a diverse country (at least 85% of Americans are in the DEI tent: individuals of different races, ethnicities, ages, genders, sexual orientations, abilities, disabilities, religions, and cultures) and have an administration that is anti-diversity, Houston, we have a problem. The latest MAGA slur "DEI hire" is both absurd, and ironic. Who might these 15% percent of the "non DEI" hires be? Smh.
I heard this a lot as an office rumor back in the 1980s. "Oh, she just got that position as the token black." Cruel, .disgusting, and absolutely not true. Is this like an inherent fear of anything different that goes back to caveman days? If so, let's get over it. "DEI hire" is a racist slur.
They are disgusting. I had black female bosses for many decades. They were all strong, funny, supportive, smart and extremely competent. When Harris came along, I prayed people wouldn't go there with the misogynoir, but it started on day one, amping up to a level that was goddamned frightening. It makes me sick that all the slime that was circulating on the right was never fully acknowledged here, or on 99.9% of media sites. It is essential to admit racism is happening. It is mandatory to fucking confront it, or else it becomes tacit consent. We will never get over what we do not confront.
So agreed. I had one super bad boss who was an outside hire, and can I say it without slurring others, a Mormon. First he laid off a man we all respected who was Polish but had obtained citizenship decades before. Then he went after a Hispanic woman who may not have been brilliant but certainly competent and well-liked. Two Black employees saw the writing on the wall and bailed with severance packages. Then he tried for another Hispanic--my BFF office friend--who had been targeted before and had an attorney. OopsIe, big mistake. She fought it in court and won, position restored and the company had to pay her court costs for letting it happen. Still not fired, Bill was bored now and got it on with a woman on his office couch. The janitor caught him. All's well that ends well haha. I'm all for outing these dudes just like Anita Hill. We have to bring injustice to light otherwise they just don't stop. lol
Sounds like a very satisfying conclusion! That's why I wanted Harris to win so badly...to have somebody to represent the women of our nation and world. We're so much better than men, and yet here they are, trying to pervert the narrative of strong women....AGAIN.
Would you vote for Liz Cheney? I'm just trying to think of people to encourage as candidates for next time. I'd vote for our Adam K. in a flash. I can think of at least three other men as well,. Strong women in Congress like Warren and Collins probably need to stay there to get things done. Any thoughts? Michigan has some strong ones.

Well I wrote a reply but it disappeared. Very strange site, hard to navigate. Thx. for chatting.

OK I can't handle this anymore. Tried to edit six times and it won't take the changes. See ya!
That has happened to me as well.
