What do the first four on the left say?

I think the rightmost of them says welfare queens, but luckily for my mental health I’m not knowledgeable enough about right wing fear-mongering to guess the others

Fuck. I see it now. I think the 3rd says “colored.” I’m genuinely afraid of the remaining two.

It’s not worth knowing. It’s all ugly and gets uglier as it goes back. Nostalgia holds no sway here.

The blatant racism around DEI fearmongering is really something terrible to behold. Funnily enough, the argument seems to be “racism/sexism isn’t a thing anymore so clearly these are just less competent people getting jobs cause woke.”

The Francis Scott Key bridge was blamed on DEI. Even though the ship wasn’t even owned or crewed by Americans.

It’s much of the MAGA Republican’s internal platform right now.

They believe DEI policies are a George Soros funded Global Progressive Communist plot to destroy society by destroying meritocracy for white men, and nuclear families.

So basically they think anyone who isn’t a white man is obviously bad at their job, and only got it because of being a minority. They believe this issue to be about racism (against whites).

They believe in equality of opportunity, but see ideological attempts aimed at hiring minorities as being about “equality of outcome” - and hence a kind of Communism.

They also don’t like Inclusion, because they think it’s aimed at making children gay and trans, and destroying “white culture/Christianity/marriage/family”.

Its so surreal seeing like DEI being blamed for company failures. I’ve been to DEI trainings. It’s like 3 or 4 meetings in an entire year lmao. Many people have like 6 meetings in a day. It didn’t make upper management stop being assholes either. Like how big of a baby do you have to be to think that the DEI trainings made a difference, let alone actually affect company operations?

They can and were used as IEDs when buried shallow and face-up with sharp rocks pressed against the screens.

They hold a lot of internal pressure, and a car driving over it would puncture the screen, causing the TV body to rapidly depressurize and explode upwards in a hail of glass shards.

This was how right-wing hero Pat Robertson was famously killed last year on his way to the annual youth slaughtering convention

I don’t miss the noise. Still haven’t found a smallish (by today’s standards – 17-21") flat panel that has the same picture quality as the best CRTs, though.

The unsarcastic response is that “Critical Race Theory” is the concepts taught in educational institution which highlight how Racism has and continues to shape our society, and sometimes talks about the outcomes of various attempts to combat and repair these systemic failures.

I just don’t want them in our schools. Pointing particle accelerators at my kids makes me nervous.
