Affirmative action is evil except when it got Clarance Thomas into Yale.
Immigration is evil except when it got Vivek Ramaswamy $50K for kids of immigrants.
Diversity is evil except when it got Nicky Haley’s father an HBCU job.
Conservatives personify “I got mine, screw you.”
Being from a marginalize or oppressed group doesn’t automatically make you an ally for inclusion/equity. Misogyny is rampant in male LGBTQ circles. Homophobia is a flagrant hate in many communities of color. Fighting only for your inclusion is not equity. https://t.co/81HrPXrf9A
You're not really diverse if all your underrepresented ppl sit at the bottom of the org. All you've done is hire to a quota. In all the organizations where I've led DEI, we tracked both representation overall and also in middle mgmt and exec leadership.

Americans are so desensitized to death that people watched a mentally ill homeless man being murdered and did nothing. No one should die because they are hungry and desperate. https://t.co/Mt7w2dFdWC
When American conservatives talk about “religious freedom” they are really talking abt Christian indoctrination. They’re not interested in more public integration of Islam, Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Wiccan, Shintoism, or Korean Shamanism in American life.
WP missed an important aspect of Mr. B’s life: he loved, mentored and believed in young people. He freely shared his memories and experiences. His advice was invaluable. I will never forget his recollections of Paul Robeson, MLK. He was like no other. https://t.co/BM1gi6UraD
POC view white allyship with skepticism because too often we have seen that allyship is really a white savior mindset. And if POC do not demonstrate sufficient gratitude to their savior, the savior weaponizes their whiteness to oppress viciously. https://t.co/1dfVLT5OgT
When people say we must give more time for progress and justice in policing—I think of this wisdom from James Baldwin.
“How much time do you want, for your progress?”
Justice Can’t Wait. #TyreNichols
My kids and I made two kinds of 🥟 만두 for Lunar New Year. My 11 yo and I discussed the shooting in Monterey Park and ongoing violence against the AAPI community. We decided making dumplings and preserving our culture is an act of rebellion and a fight against white supremacy

By voting #YESon4, we can provide a route for safer roads for all drivers.
You truly don’t have the range for this. The REASON we don’t have to say white lives matter is because white lives have never NOT mattered. The default position in this country is white = worthiness. The same has never been true for Black people. You’re welcome.
