Why do we tolerate this?

Question

This is one of the most classically Orwellian things I have seen this year. Why is this person allowed in government office? We might as well hire Ku Klux Klan members at this point!

This is frankly scary. Let’s break down what she said piece by piece not only to debunk it, but also demonstrate her mentality.

“I’m so exhausted at these white folks” - this implies all the white folks in the PD sessions have something wrong with their opinions or behavior in her eyes. She is exhausted with them. Not any other race. Although I am not privy to the details of those sessions it definitely points towards her being a racist.

Based on her statement it is clear she doesn’t think blacks can be racist. ANYONE can be racist. This is not limited to a particular race. That is extremely flawed logic.

“We are not the majority” - and? What does that have to do with anything? What does not being the majority have to do with blacks not being able to be racist?

“We don’t have power” - so am I supposed to believe blacks don’t have the same rights as whites or other races under the law? What does not having power have to do with blacks having the ability to be racist? Because she believes blacks don’t have power does this mean they can’t be racist? Am I supposed to believe any race has power more than another in America? Having power would also not be keeping in line with equity. If someone has more power than someone else, they can’t be equal. She is the head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, if she had any real interest in equity she wouldn’t be concerned with blacks having power, she’d be concerned with having equality, but to her equality is blacks having more power when they already have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. That’s what this is really about. Black power and gaining it through divisiveness and manipulation as well as bullying.

I saved the best for last.

Back to “we don’t have power” Really? In her own words she “ had to stop the session and give Karen the business.” For a race that supposedly has no power we can clearly see where the power dynamic lies in these sessions. She was powerful enough to 1. Stop the session and 2. Refute what “Karen” said and give her the business. Clearly she has more power than she thinks. Those sessions are a microcosm. If a black woman has that kind of power in those sessions, the power to 1. Stop the session, and 2. To refute a statement that is 100% correct, then certainly they are not lesser in power elsewhere as an entire race. If she as a black woman in America had no power she wouldn’t be able to stop the session, and certainly not “give anyone the business” without censure and without consequence.

This woman’s logic is completely diluted and she is a racist not interested in equality but gaining black power.

Her response to the accusations are here. "DoD schools diversity chief responds to ‘racism’ claims" https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military/2023/02/10/dod-schools-diversity-chief-responds-to-racism-claims/

"The lawmakers also cited press reports stating that Wing tweeted she was “exhausted by 99% of the white men in education and 95% of the white women.”

Those reports are wrong, Wing said. Fox News correctly reported in September that the tweet was made by another Twitter user"

(She's right, the original article https://www.foxnews.com/media/woke-department-defense-equity-chief-writes-anti-white-posts-exhausted-white-folx says "Wing responded to a user who said, "I am exhausted...".)

It's tolerated because people have been conditioned to believe that 'racist" is the worst thing one can be called. A lot of people are terrified that if they speak up, they will be seen as racist.

Borrowed from Theodore Dalrymple:

I came to the conclusion that the purpose of leftist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is... in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A variety of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

This is a perfect example of why I don't pay attention to politics anymore. Have fun arguing about things that largely don't exist anymore while our leader who's literally responsible for maintaining world peace falls asleep at the wheel every day.

If only you all knew how many innocent people are going to die in foreign lands because you care more about whether people agree with you about social dilemmas than having a military strong enough to put dictatorships hell bent on taking over the world on notice.

The thing that sucks about humanity is that it's so obvious what we need to do. World peace (relatively speaking) and freedom has probably never been more attainable in human history, but people aren't willing to do what is necessary.

Because the alternative was to have a President who made impolite Twitter posts and said stupid  self-aggrandizing  things to the press; one who makes grossly unConstitutional policies and says stupid  bigoted  things to the press is, apparently, more acceptable.

Why do people always point out undesirerable individuals getting chosen, instead of pointing out the fact that we should be choosing bills instead of people? Or the fact that voting is rigged? This is just another distraction.

Black people can definitely be racist, and I honestly think politics went to shxt when trump was elected. He said whatever he wanted to and his supporters consistently looked to other way when he said things that were just as out of line as this. This is politics now. It is what it is.

The oligarchy wants certain groups to be client classes for the sake of popular support and also to cow the middle class, which is the natural enemy of the oligarchs. This is how they maintain the loyalty of a client group.
