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.
