DEI is a disaster. It is making white people whiter. Not because white people want to become whiter but because the DEI shock troops are painting us whiter and whiter. How white will we become - is there a limit to DEI craziness?
Yes, there is a limit to the DEI craziness! It is found in its unintended consequences. It makes those who subscribe to its victim based ideology weaker. And it can also kill innocent people by painting them so white that they die- forever cancelled. This happened to Richard Bilkszto for simply voicing his opinion . . .
Jonathan Kay reports:
Ojo-Thompson didn’t confine herself to rebuking Bilkszto in that moment. She also allegedly attacked Bilkszto in a subsequent lecture as exemplifying the forces of white supremacist “resistance.” In Ojo-Thompson’s view, her original treatment of Bilkszto had presented everyone with a valuable template for how they should respond when “accosted by white supremacy.” . . .
Yet nothing in my own experience allowed me to fully comprehend the pain that Bilkszto was experiencing. A political progressive who’d devoted more than two decades of his life to the TDSB, Bilkszto never fully recovered from being falsely smeared as a supporter of white supremacy in front of his peers.
This month, Bilkszto, aged 60, committed suicide. I don’t know if he left a note. But according to his family, his suicide related to the false accusations of racism he’d endured in April 2021.
RIP, Richard Bilkszto, a Toronto Educator Who Stood up to Woke Bullying—and Paid the Price, Jonathan Kay, 21 Jul 2023
John McWhorter says portraying people who are ‘not-white’ as perpetual victims makes them weaker not better:
I believe John McWorther is right. DEI as the militant arm of Wokist supremacy is hurting lots of people and it’s time to say so!
I’m saying so before I get painted so white that I disappear as just another cancellation.
I guess I am white by DEI characterization...but not by pigment...especially in the summer.,,does that count? Hmmmmmm
