Race
"I have a dream that my four little children will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."~ MLK Jr. This famous quote is as powerful now as it was when it was issued. This is where Americans of the left & right believe we are now or should be, where character counts -- and is expected. “There is a class of race problem solvers whom make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public….some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances because they do not want to lose their jobs…they don’t want the patient to get well.” Booker T. Washington. Unfortunately, BTW was right then and it continues. Race in this country has now become an industry unto itself, even though the American people think it is about time that we are a post-racial society. Furthering racism however is necessary for the race industry (Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev Jeremiah Wright, Rev Al Sharpton, the National of Islam, the New Black Panther Party, etc) to survive. Which means if racism were ever to be eliminated, the industry and the people whose livelihood depends on it, would no longer be needed. And so it is kept alive, long after it's purpose has faded into history. Therefore, the racism industry is now a bigger problem than the racism issue itself. People on both sides, left and right, agree that racism and discrimination are unacceptable in America. To say or think that only one political group (the right) is to blame is inaccurate, irresponsible and/or ignorant. To say so purposely and knowingly is reprehensible. Unfortunately, political ideologies have also attached themselves to this industry in an attempt to secure votes. The Left ( Marxist, radical and lunatic liberals who control the President and the Democrat party) today, and their media counterparts, lead this reprehensible effort with their daily barrage of viscous and inaccurate racist attacks on the right. The Left has been brilliantly successful with this strategy. This success is extremely ironic when you realize that the legacy of racism in this country belongs to the Democrat party. • Democrats legacy of Racism. • How Republicans Thwarted Democrat racism. • Why only Democrats and liberals should feel white guilt? Below you will see both sides clearly. Let's begin right now to talk honestly about race, about character and about racial progress in this country for a change. Opportunity exists for everyone, equally, and has for the last 60 years. That is at least two generations. In that context, read the debate below on, what should no longer be, the issue of race.

Control the language, control the issue

Political & media narratives are so sophisticated now, it is hard to separate fact from fiction. Here is one example that displays a false narrative in a contradictory and misleading representation. These are the opening statements in a Washington Post article about a controversial Air Force colonel who is aggressively pushing DEI in the military: Once upon a time in another America, many considered diversity, equity and inclusion fundamental national values, at least nominally. Now those notions are so reviled in much of America that one senator is threatening the promotion of a highly qualified and praised Air Force officer. WaPo states that DEI is a long time national value. That is not true. The truth is that 'diversity' is a long time national value, not 'DEI'. DEI IS a fundamental value among the media and the Democrat party. It is not a fundamental value across the country. As a matter of fact, WaPo makes that statement about DEI 'being reviled in much of America', which is true. How can DEI be a 'fundamental national value' and 'reviled' at the same time? Let me explain the media slight of hand here.
  • First, WaPo redefines 'diversity' as DEI. Stating one thing, diversity, yet defining it as another, DEI. What does that mean? Diversity, has been a value throughout the country for years. Aggressively trying to add diverse populations to under-served industries, companies and jobs has been true for a long time involving both race and women.
  • Then, they place DEI as the long time 'fundamental national value', which is false. What WaPo is doing here is trying to equate ‘diversity’ with DEI, ‘diversity, equity & inclusion’. DEI is a completely different concept. It is about creating outcomes (equity), abolishing merit (equity), establishing systemic racism (inclusion) as an accepted problem and 'fundamental value' in America.
  • At the same time, they include a true statement about DEI being 'reviled'.  Diversity is not 'reviled'.
  • Simultaneously, the colonel in question is described as 'courageous', 'highly qualified and praised'.  That is because he supports the DEI political narrative.  Thus, the media and political left want to provide support for him in extended support for the broader DEI narrative.  They take a shot at anyone, in this case Senator, who disagrees with the colonel about the DEI narrative and his actions within the Air Force.  In this makeover, they subconsciously insert the concept of 'merit' ('highly qualified'), without using the term.
This contradiction, redefinition, mixing of true and false statements and media makeover is done on purpose in an attempt to make the reader believe that something foundational exists and is being attacked by a 'republican' senator. This is a complicated political narrative slight of hand about DEI. DEI is NOT the same as our value for diversity. If you control the language, you control the issue.
