Ford joins list of companies walking back DEI policies
The list is long … Lowe’s, Zoom, Snap, Tesla, Microsoft, Door Dash, Home Depot, Harley-Davidson, John Deere … and on it goes.
I don’t understand. Long and hard has been the fight for equality for women, minorities, and the LGBTQ community, but we made progress. Slowly but surely, equality in pay, employment opportunities, educational opportunities, housing and more became reality. But today, every damn day another company announces it is either rolling back or completely dissing its DEI initiatives. WHY???
DEI – Diversity, Equity, Inclusion. What’s wrong with that? Why do we insist on turning the clocks back? Is this nation really that bigoted that we cannot see our way clear to provide the same opportunities for everyone, regardless of the colour of their skin, their gender, or who they love?
I do not understand why we cannot simply LIVE AND LET LIVE. Colour me confused. And disgusted.
There is a person named Robert “Robby” Starbuck who has been actively targeting companies with DEI policies in place, many of which have since reversed their policies. Mr. Starbuck is obviously a racist, a misogynist, and a homophobe, but who the hell does he think he is, imposing his bigotries on the rest of us? What next, Mr. Starbuck? Will you restore old plantations and return Black people to slavery? Make it illegal for women to vote and allow companies to pay women less simply because they don’t have a penis? Thus far his efforts have been quite successful … Grrrrrrrrrrrr …
So yes, I’m confused … confused as to why so many companies seem to think it’s a good idea to return to the dark ages, why they even listen to fools and idiots like Mr. Starbuck, and why … why we have to keep fighting the same battles over and over and over just to live free, just to ensure that everyone has the same rights and opportunities. Yes, I am WOKE and damn proud of it. I am also confused as hell.
