Twitter/X Comment About Baltimore Mayor Shows How Racists Now Use 'DEI' Instead Of The N-Word
Instead of focusing on the bridge tragedy, racists couldn't wait to denigrate Mayor Brandon M. Scott.
“This is Baltimore’s DEI mayor commenting on the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge,” the user wrote alongside a clip of Scott speaking. “It’s going to get so, so much worse. Prepare accordingly.”
The post was immediately fact checked and even came with an advisory.
“Brandon Scott was elected as Mayor of Baltimore in 2020 with > 70% of the vote,” the advisory reads. “He did not come in to office through any DEI practices, appointments, etc.” This isn’t the first instance of a racist swapping out the N-word with “DEI”—but it certainly is one of the most brazen.
Diversity, Equality, and Inclusiveness is what I think DEI meant. Correct me if wrong, took me a minute to figure out what the tweet was actually implying.
You're correct. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The outrage is entirely manufactured just like with Critical Race Theory. Invented out of whole cloth almost entirely by the likes of Christopher Ruffo. It's straight up just DEI is when minorities... Anything.
Equity not equality
These fascists don't know the difference, though.
They think that equality of opportunity is the same thing as guaranteeing superiority of outcome by deliberately punishing people for being white. Or for being cishet. Or for being Christian. Or for being a man. Or for being rich.
Basically, the more privileged you are, the more persecuted the far right echo chamber pretends you are.
Hard to imagine a city that's nearly 2/3 black electing a black mayor /s
It blows my mind there are still such shitty people out there who think like that user.
You don't understand, it doesn't matter if it's 100% black community, the only qualified people to run anything are white cis men and everyone knows that. Strangely enough even black people understand that even with their learning disabilities and all. Just look at the kings of Europe, see any black people there? Checkmate wokeyMcwokewoke!
-Some racist moron probably.
Ah yes the Deep South’s governance
a city that's nearly 2/3 black
DEI moved fast - nearly an entire city! 😱
Kinda like the word thug. Most people who use that word as hyperbole, use it as a replacement for the N word
Dale Earnhardt, Incorporated?
Wait, you’re telling me that “banning” a word will not stop the behaviour it was caused by?
think you might have grabbed a slightly tilted takeaway from this…
