Republicans have been saying DEI means hiring unqualified people of color over qualified white people.

This is an intentional misrepresentation of DEI and the only outcome of this will be to fire qualified people of color.

If you are spreading this misinformation, you are (or were) a racist.

My black friend is such a die hard Trump supporter. She thinks the world of him.

You never understand the mentality of black people. She doesn't think she is a minority because she is rich. She is so insulated.

But it's getting worse.

And that isn't news either.

But it still needs to be reported.
