DEI (&B)

Are black men losing their jobs to white players in the NBA & the NFL where 70% of the players are black? Why doesn’t DEI&B exist in sports that are predominantly held black players??
Maybe it because, the black players are superior than the white players~ plain & simple.
Blacks comprise 13% of the US population, yet in the area I am in, most DBM’s are black, they are over represented by 300%.
Simply put, there are more “whites” in the US population by a long shot. Yet their numbers in middle & upper management is decreasing exponentially.
Is it because ‘all of a sudden ‘ whites became stupid and no longer qualified for management positions or is it because corporate America is going out of their way to hire more blacks?
If this is the case; it’s a pretty dumb and nearsighted business strategy.

As I stated above, the NbA & NFL don’t go out of their way to hire “white” players at the expense of signing black players (in order to make the sport more equitable).
If DEI doesn’t work everywhere, then it shouldn’t be implemented anywhere.
 












Diverse candidates have hiring preference. If you’re not a diverse candidate-don’t even bother applying - at least in the suck up SEC region.

It’s disgusting how much people suck up to management.
 






OH BUT WHAT WILL THE EVER IMPORTANT “JHON HENRY VALASCO” DO ABOUT THIS?!

One of the most arrogant, rude, and egotistical people I’ve ever met. Worthless position!!!!

Why is anyone like him in any position to influence or direct culture in our company. This is a great example!

What do his goals look like ?

META just destroyed the DEI department, it’s gone. Another big-big company flushing these discriminatory practices.
This whole department needs to go!
 












Respectfully, putting a question/comment out there for serious thoughts please:

I’ve observed a significant dropoff in the number of postings on LinkedIn that speak to DEI topics or positions (new positions, promotions etc.).

The topic has virtually fallen off the major media outlets (NYT, CNN, WaPo, WJS for example), except for when a company announces their disbanding their department and associated policies.

Are you seeing the same things?
I agree with this. I was on a DEI committee and all the meetings have been canceled with the explanation of “rescheduling for another time” I also want to point out that opportunities for growth have also diminished as all positions are for the home office ( at least this is what I see for the CD side) as a result of this you see the same people who do nothing get promoted while others who are qualified and are remote just get past up. Just make sure it’s on your IDP they say! Why, I’m not planning to move and your not planning to hire remote.
 






The SEC hired numerous very diverse candidates, several of whom were fired for not working…. At all! Don’t hire dudes who wear dresses. Pretty much asking for internal and external drama as a result.

Yeh. Sure you were. Next, you will drop the CP famous "I am an Afro American man, and I despise DEI because..."
Give it a rest, we beg you. Responding to your own posts on this site (and probably others) is a joke.
 












DE&I has no ROI…. We’re hitting the wall with growth, cost tightening is coming, let’s see which go first. The DE or the DE &I team!!!???
Racial equity used to mean equal treatment regardless of race, but it’s become a progressive euphemism for group preferences. In practice, it means discriminating to achieve racial balance.

However, the same population that has seen the most significant benefits from this policy - white women - has emerged as one of its most vocal opponents.

Many white Americans, including those who have reaped the benefits of affirmative action, have shown strong opposition to such policies. This seems contradictory, given that white women have been among the primary beneficiaries of affirmative action policies. A 1995 report by the California Senate Government Organization Committee found that white women held a majority of managerial jobs compared with other racial and ethnic groups. A Department of Labor report from the same year found that 6 million women overall had job advances that would not have been possible without affirmative action.
