Nobody told me there'd be days like these.
Has it really come to this?
Yes, a quote from Lennon is absolutely in order at this point.

My biggest concern is the dismantling of equality for equity… That scares the ever loving crap out of me.

Right? Have fun flying Woke Airlines.

DEI Statements are becoming de rigueur for company websites. I honestly don’t believe that 70% of the people out there understand that there is a difference between equality and equity and what that difference truly means.

Are there really enough woke customers to make a significant, long lasting effect on the bottom line?
Yes. People are idiots.

A mediocre piece of pop cultural rabble never has as much power as they do when they, as an employee of a large company, email HR or management and inquire why the owner and presidents of the company haven’t made a public statement of solidarity after the George Floyd incident. That was the context in which the owner of the company I work for was coerced into a public display of wokedom. A Vice President of Inclusion and Diversity position soon followed. It became, to hear our owner speak of it, one of the highest company priorities going forward. So the black folk raised in decent neighborhoods by decent parents will get their upper middle class jobs handed to them, while low status blacks raised in broken cultures will continue to lead mattering-challenged lives as cannon fodder in the leftist culture wars.

@Horace This is truly awful.
I cleaned out my 'cache & cookies' last night and as usual met with a raft of snarls this morning, so I've had a very bad day so far. That may account for my response, here.
I wonder what would happen if a wokester wrote to HR about George Floyd and got back this answer: "We won't be issuing a statement of solidarity around George Floyd because we don't care about George Floyd. That is not why we're here. If you don't like it, leave."

Yes. They believe equity equals equality and if the results aren’t equitable, then the only explanation has to be systemic racism/trans-homophobia. After you accept that as a given, then the data can be manipulated however necessary to support this conclusion.

Allow me, then, one such quote appropriate for this thread:
“ It is, of course, much easier to shout, abuse, and howl than to attempt to relate, to explain.”
From the April Theses, 1917
Oh wait….never mind.

No problem, strange days indeed.

The fool on the hill also works, but might be pushing the Liverpudlian influence on Washington a bit.
