I worked at Boeing for several years. In my dept they were hiring and passed over a very qualified w guy with over a decade of experience, hired a b girl fresh out of college with zero experience. For years she was bounced from one dept to the next because she couldn't learn the trade. They didn't want to fire her but all she did was become a financial drain on any dept that accepted her. About a year later they eventually hired the w guy, and the girl left the company after about 4 years. Imagine all the money that was wasted. And this isn't to say that a b person isn't qualified for the job...the star of the dept was a b dude that was a stud at his job. Why did this all happen? Because HR had decided that a quota needed to be filled.

I am a teacher, and you are right on. Placing lesser qualified students in programs they are not ready for is bad for meritocracy, but more importantly, IT IS BAD FOR THE STUDENT. Failure might be a good lesson, but struggling where you are clearly not qualified, and getting âspecialâ treatment does nothing for the necessary strength and resilience good students need. There really IS a good fit for everyone wanting to go to college. Itâs up to these institutions to realize that instead of âhelpingâ students fail while making themselves âfeelâ better about âhelpingâ those they declare are disadvantaged.

This is all so true itâs terrifying. Iâve never cared about skin colour. Years ago if a black doctor was treating me I KNEW they were just as qualified as everyone else. Now I have to wonder if they actually are thanks to all this crap. And itâs not just race either. Did they get the job because they are a woman or because they are gay or because they have blue hair and no gender. We have no idea who is actually qualified and who is a diversity hire. For the black community itâs a major set back not a leap forward. I canât believe so many people donât realise that their entire race is being INSULTED by people saying they need to lower standards for them to be able to achieve. THAT is one of the most racist things ive ever heard. How do they not see it?

Iâm 48 yo. My entire young life the public school taught me to value a person based upon how they act as a person, not what they look like. Then I became an adult and watched dozens of my friends struggle to get into the careers they were passionate about because they had to be âperfectâ while others received preferential treatment because their melanin content was higher. Affirmative action is racism.

You are an amazing woman. I am glad you found the truth! You should think about Rumble if you are still demonetized on this platform. I am not a creator there or anywhere, but I do know they are not as dictatorial as this one.

This is so true. My husband is an intelligent geologist and was at the top of his class in college praised by many of his professors. Because he's a male and while only half white; he was still passed over another black woman for a career in a NASA program. This was the same woman he helped tutored because she couldn't handle the assignments (Geology is no joke). I felt bad for him, but as a great guy that he is; he still cheered her on. His phenotype can actually make him pass for a mixed Native and was once offered a scholarship to a Ph D. program reserved for any Native Americans because his professor really thought he was Native descent. But my husband turned it down as he couldn't find it in himself to lie and take that opportunity from someone else. While it was a bitter pill to swallow missing opportunities; we can actually joke about it now that he will not pull an Elizabeth Warren aka Pocahontas lol

When I was in a premier art school, I was concerned for a classmate whose art was so inferior to the rest that I thought someone should tell her that sheâs wasting her time. As nicely as possible. But the instructor and others told me they werenât going to say anything because she was the first person in her family to go to college. They may have pushed her through, but there was no way she was going to make a living doing art. Itâs hard enough for excellent artists.

Your assessment is spot on yet so many people are blind to the truth. Thank you for shining the light of truth in a world of deception.

Forty some years ago, I was applying for a job at a company my well-respected dad work for. I didn't mention his name during my interview. I was hired, and later found out the manager who interviewed me knew my dad. He asked me why I didn't tell him who my dad was. I told him I wanted to know I was hired on my merit, and that I earned the position, not because of who my dad was. It's the same principle.

Samuel was sent to select little David to be anointed King; a man with a heart of love. A heart to defend the defenseless. The people of Israel in the Old Testament had sought to have Saul and were warned he would be dastardly. They were told what type heart he had and demanded him anyway. So sometimes people receive what they ask for. That represents our past 4 years. A man with a heart for destruction. Those programs you mentioned were part of his tools. Tools that go back many decades. Marxist tools of division.

Rant about systemic racism đđ˝
I will never forget when I was in my Masters of Education program at UC Santa Cruz 16 years ago. I was talking with my classmates about our undergrad GPAs, and it turned out I had the lowest, 3.2. (I had actually dropped out of my undergrad university at one point and failed some courses, which brought my GPA down) But despite that, I was easily accepted into this highly competitive program.
Then my white male classmate immediately said, âOh, you must have been admitted because youâre a black woman.â
At the time, I was so insulted. (I was still left-leaning then and just starting to wake up, thanks common core and Obama!) But looking back now, my white classmate was probably right. I most likely took the spot of someone more qualified simply because of the color of my skin. That is systemic racism. And the reality is, when someone is admitted into a college based on race instead of merit, they often struggle because it isnât an academic match. Itâs why woke black women brag that âthey are the most educatedâ when in fact, they are the most ENROLLED. Their drop out rate is much higher than other races! Race based preferences hurt everyone.
By Godâs grace, I got through the program and earned my Masterâs with a 4.0, but it was torture. I would have been much happier in a program that was a better academic fit. That experience is one of the many reasons Iâm now vehemently against DEI policies. That young man had every right to feel somewhat resentful, he had to meet a higher standard because of his skin color. I would never want to be seen as someone who only got a seat at the table because Iâm black. I want to earn it through my own hard work and intelligence, not because of racial quotas.
Joe Biden made race the deciding factor in choosing a VP and a Supreme Court Justice, two of the most important positions in the U.S. government. Thatâs insane! And why did it HAVE to be a black woman? Why not Asian or Indian? There hasnât been a single one, male or female! I guess because picking a âblack womanâ gives you the most âwoke pointsâ This pandering, this black idolatryâitâs exhausting and only causing America to move backward, not forward.
Iâm glad President Trump is putting a stop to all this racial preference nonsense. Sure there are a few bigots out there who may avoid certain colors of skin but at least it isnât our tax payer funded public institutions!
