Summary

Federal health workers are alarmed after the “DEI Watch List” website published names, photos, and salaries of employees, mainly Black, labeling them “targets” for involvement in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

The conservative American Accountability Foundation runs the site, which has sparked fears of doxxing and intimidation.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently issued memos demanding an end to DEI-related work, escalating paranoia. Some staff have been placed on leave.

To be fair, non-white people will undoubtedly have it worse.

Perhaps. White women aren't going to be happy. Poor white men are getting and are going to get fucked. Racial purity has more to do with status and wealth this time.

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

White women will be in a utopia compared to black women, who are already at the bottom in American society.

As long as the neo-Nazis find you 'hot', you'll be as well off as the white women

[–] FlyingSquid 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sure, just as well off... like all the women in concentration camps the original lot took as "mistresses" before murdering them anyway.

White women will not have that level of worry until long after the black women are gone.

[–] FlyingSquid 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It means that white women have a lot less to worry about right now.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Right now? What do black women have to worry about that white women don't? I don't mean to pick sides on a race argument, but I really don't know where you're coming from.

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Easier to get a job if you're white whether male or female, easier to get a loan, a home, anything that requires someone to approve what you're doing. Also easier if you're a black man. If you're a black woman? Especially one with a "black" name? You're often fucked. Many studies have shown this.

And then there's the incarceration rate.

Yeah, but don't risk taking power from women with misleading facts. The black stats are largely to do with poverty, not with being black. Actually all of the 'oh-god-help-me' stats are to do with being poor. Yes, it's well known that black people are mistreated in society. That has nothing to do with imminent fascism, it's just how fucked up society was in the first place. The incarceration rate is entirely due to blacks being relegated to poverty and re-enslaved by the system we all apparently supported before Trump. We'll agree it's fucking disgusting.

Wait, so you understand that many black people are systemically relegated to poverty, but disagree that poor black people being incarcerated at higher rates is related to them being black? I can't quite follow your logic here.

If A (being black) leads to B (higher chance of poverty), and B leads to C (higher rates of incarceration), then A also leads to C.

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If it were largely to do with poverty, it would not be so radically higher for black women.

The incarceration rate? The thing you said had to do with poverty? Are you not reading your own posts?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, black people are going to experience a equivalent amount more pain compared to what they already did before Trump fascism.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The incarceration rate certainly doesn't show that black women are more incarcerated than black men

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Certainly more than white women, for the reasons I already vomited

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We were talking about black women vs. white women, you're changing the subject from your own posts, and I think you're just trolling at this point.

[–] rayyy -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Poor white men are getting and are going to get fucked.

They will love it because it's their people fucking them. Hold the lube? No problem.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

Naw, they'll complain that Republicans aren't hurting the right people
