DEI Part 2
Of late in America there is a campaign to get rid of DEI in all of its iterations in our educational institutions and in the marketplace both the public and private sectors.
Ignore this siren call, In fact one should challenge and construct a detailed series of facts and documents that establish the utility of DEI while also addressing in detail the arguments against DEI.
Rather than summarily dismiss those who articulate the sometimes hateful rhetoric that DEI is not necessary and in some twisted narrative is anti White and UnAmerican and not needed in a post racial America. One constructive approach would be to enlist those who oppose DEI in articulating what they believe is conducive for a united DEI reality and implementation in our nation, this strategy can mitigate friction with colaboration.
One of the hidden obstacles to DEI is often the inability of its proponents to make get pass the proponents of the end of DEI in America as just a racial barrier they are not just conservatives but also progressives and religious types.
Those who occupy the C suites in America know that diversity and inclusion are productive and has profitable utility but that alone is not sufficient. Yes coordination of political cheerleading is necessary in the still fading Trump Era of America.
In this strategy there opportunities for on line dialogues, meet and greet DEI centered topics and collective intercultural, interracial and class and religious exchanges that highlight DEI.
The end objective is the continuation of the evolution of America with the realization there simply cannot be America without DEI.

The War against Academic Freedom
The critics of Academic Freedom forced the resignation of its historic Black Woman President simply because she declared genocide was wrong for all people instead of expressly stated Jewish people!!!
MAGA platforms in America contributed to the false and destructive narrative that antisemitism was everywhere in America and that Black Americans were inherently antisemitic despite millions of Black Americans around the world R Jewish!!The campaign to conflate Palestinians as Hamas is just as wrong as the campaign to conflate criticism of Israel as antisemitism and end Academic Freedom in our Colleges and Universities in America

Not Equivalent
This equation will never be equal nor equivalent
1700 Israeli deaths = 30,000+ Palestinians deaths
The endless excuses, deflections, ridiculous rationality, narratives, conflation of Hamas with Palestinians will never make this equation true or equal nor Right
When I add the destruction, displacement and violence associated to this equation it only gets more unequal
Biden, Trump , MAGA, Apologists for Israel can’t make this equation equal
4 too long Palestinians lives have not been equal to Israelis
The same truth existed in America for centuries and to some degree it still does … Black Lives don’t Equal White Lives
Black Americans stand with Palestinians

Words are not enough
Words are not Enough (c)
When I don’t have the words to compose my love 4 U.. I still love U
When I can’t remember a poem or a sonnett to whisper all the wonderful ways U make me feel … I still love U….
When I forget a memory or a moment in time when love occupied the distance between and @us.. I still love U….
When hardships and difficult words are shared between U and I … I still love U….
When I believe I can’t do anything Right and all that I do is wrong… I grab U and wrap my self around U … I know then that U still love me R…
Leadership
Many of my Jewish friends and family are ashamed of the politics of the lobbyists 4 Israel from their attacks on Black Elected Officials who condemn the inhumane war in Gaza by Israel to the curated and vile campaign that conflates Black Americans as Anti- Semitic
It is extremely disturbing on so many levels and layers of the relations between Black Americans and Jewish Americans in our country
Black Americans created the Civil Rights Movement in America where Jewish-Americans and others have benefited from … Black Americans have contributed to the wealth of many Jewish Americans in a variety of enterprises and relationships in America which has not come close to being reciprocal
To observe MAGA/ Conservatives influence over prominent Jewish Americans is quite disturbing
Thankfully the most powerful Jewish American in our Congress finally stepped up and condemned the war monger leader of Israel while also advocating for elections is Israel was truly transformative and long overdue

‘State Rights’ Redux
Only in America is there celebrations over the end of programs that seek to promote, improve and affirm diversity, equity and inclusion in our country
Once again the racist governance policy of ‘State Rights’ is now the law in Florida a state with a inhumane legacy towards minorities especially Black Americans that hung from the trees in Florida under the ‘color of law’ in Florida
The government of Florida is in violation of not only numerous federal civil rights regulations but also the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution
This pass week the SCOTUS ruled that a state in America cannot overturn a Constitutional Amendment
The implementation of ‘State Rights’ that denies the constitutional protections of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness includes the the governance objectives of DEI ‘s programs, protocols and policies is a violation of our US Constitution
I expect the US Constitution will reject the State of Florida’s unlawful termination of its DEI program, protocols and governance objectives
P I looks forward to supporting Black plaintiffs in Florida and their lawsuits against Florida arising out of this blanket violation of their 14th Amendment rights.
