A company I do contract work for has what I call a DEI High Priest. I was recently told by my contact at the company that the High Priest was supposed to produce some kind of report or something (don't recall details) for a client, and basically just never did it. He waffled and delayed and pretended he was doing the work for quite some time and just didn't deliver. It's always surprising to me (though it shouldn't be I guess) that the people who present themselves as the most righteous have the lowest standards of personal moral conduct.

So, in reality, this person was the “low” priest, eh?

I had the exact DEI problem with an engineering firm I was forced to hire for a half million. I eventually had to extirpate the contractual relationship and eat the losses, but took hell from the political domos for doing it. Was called a liar for claiming I was somehow to blame for the firm’s subpar (read “No”) work product. We lost $million+ with all the various DEI contracts. Oh well….it’s only money.

Wow. Very revealing. As Jesus said, by their fruits you will know them....bad results (fruit) shows bad ideology (tree).

tbf, a lot of patronage position holders aren't really expected to do anything. It's like those mob jobs where no one has to show up as long as they get paid. That DEI grifter probably assumes it's more like that. I mean no one believes they produce anything valuable anyway, right.

🤷 he apparently does have some other functions, but it doesn't seem he faces any consequences for not performing them.

Consequences are one of the pillars of White Supremacy. It's right there between spelling and punctuality.

it seems like lack of accountability is one of the cornerstones of our new epoch

I’ve seen the same kind of behavior which is only fitting when someone is hired because of how under-qualified they are and like a predictable pendulum, returns to prove what was already known…..

Justice Clarence Thomas was a DEI hire to replace Thurgood Marshall. Thomas, a shape-shifting black conservative grifter, has accumulated over four 4 million dollars in gifts since his appointment to SCOTUS. Thomas is bought and paid for by white ultra-right-wing conservative billionaire Harlan Crow.

Clarence Thomas was definitely NOT a DEI hire. In fact, Biden fought his appointment. You have an exact accounting of his supposed gifts? How about Sotomayer's gifts and bogus book sales? Just more liberal mindless blathering of talking points here

The cost of white inclusion

•Repudiation of blackness

•Repudiation of self

•Repudiation of culture

•Promote white supremacy

•Marry a white spouse

Rewards of white inclusion

•White privilege

•Personal financial rewards

•Family financial rewards for children and •grandchildren.

•Lucrative opportunities

•Fast track careers (i.e., Clarence Thomas)

The Black illusion

•White society views black members as a repudiated race. Blacks who, therefore, seek white inclusion are suffering from an illusion.

•Hence, white society will never fully accept Black people. At best, white society will bestow honorary Whiteness.

•Black people must, at a minimum, thoroughly repudiate their Blackness, undermine efforts to gain equality, and passionately promote White supremacy.
