The point I'm making is that the political left can no longer be the honest broker for racism because they have weaponized it. The left has now defined racism as anything a conservative says that they don't like or advances their agenda.

Crickets from @iamdarlenemcd on this msn.com/en-us/news/opi… So when you publicly call out racism across the board then come see me.

Okay. Thanks for providing the Jan 2024 article. So you are saying if someone uses words you disagree with then they are not committed to Equal Opportunity? Don't you see how your approach of trying to control speech has led to the DEI backlash?

I reread your op-ed and don't see your evidence of 'some consevatives' being against Equal Opportunity. Interesting that you would proffer that I may not be as committed to Equal Opportunity. Comments like that expose your two dimensional thinking on this issue.

I read your op-ed and appreciate your perspective. To answer your question about why didn't Republicans just pick up the phone - it's been tried for several years only to be met with - 'you just don't understand' - 'you're not informed' - and 'you're racist'.

First - it was not a joint press conference. Second, I have spent decades convincing racial minorities to join the Republican Party and gradually transitioning them to the conservative philosophy. You appear to be reactionary and afraid of having non whites join the GOP - SAD!

Darlene - your response has an air of superiority to it. Exactly what are you saying people are ignorant of that requires education. Please be careful because I fear your approach is turning 'D' into "Division" instead of "Diversity".

I love this @iamdarlenemcd because @luv2db8 is going to bring that smoke. HB261 will help facilitate true equality of opportunity for all by not pitting different groups against each other.

No - I see you. You come from an accomplished family and you trying to act like Harriet Tubman had to give you a hookup.

Darlene - your conclusion about my relationship to blackness is so ridiculous I will conclude it was a typo. With your bougie self.

Okay Darlene we'll go with your privilege statement. 😀 I'm at the NAACP Tri-state conference and told them that there will probably be some changes to DEI next year and encouraged everyone to come to the table.

I am focused on promoting #Conservative solutions to many of these issues. No longer is it acceptable to only allow progressive solutions, because they have not always worked and it has been the least among us who have paid the price.

In 2023 in the USA most adversity can be overcome through individual effort. It's a mistake to convince people otherwise. Conservatives want to engage in the space where obstacles can't be overcome due to external factors.

It starts with an honest assessment of what the individual can control vs what communities control. Solutions must be provided based on specific circumstances and not based on a group.

Conservatives believe in removing external barriers to success in disadvantage communities. Unfortunately, many of these barriers are protected by progressives.

The author says progressives view equity as a zero sum gain and that is a mistake. I'm starting to think you are purposefully misrepresting the author's position.

Progressives say Equity means Equality of Opportunity and you know that's their position. So yes, let's be honest. #utpol The author of the article is also a progressive.
