"SEEMS RACIST"??? Nah, this article IS racist ... it whines that black women just do not have the personal wherewithal to successfully make it in this life without a patronizing leg up from pandering Democrats. Wow ... Democrats and their toadies in the lamestream media look down on blacks - black women, in particular - with contempt because they truly do not think they are capable of accomplishing anything on their own. Just like Democrats think requiring an ID to vote is somehow "racist" because they believe minorities don't have the common sense and initiative to obtain an ID (even though it is easy to do).

Could the Left be any more racist? They like to scream about how conservatives are bigoted, but then they post stuff like this -- with a straight face, mind you -- and act like they're morally superior.
The Associated Press (@AP) ~ Black women struggle to find their way in a job world where diversity is under attack
http://apnews.com/article/black-women-claudine-gay-702e7fb758565e400cc519ce9e75d989?taid=65e5ccf0372ad4000110c7de
The AP writes:
With attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives raging, Black women looking to climb the corporate ladder face a more hostile landscape than ever. Aside from having to constantly prove themselves and talk in a manner that can’t be labeled as angry or emotional, obtaining top managerial positions doesn’t stop the double dilemma of racial and gender pay gaps. All this adds up to disproportionate representation of Black female senior leadership.
Claudine Gay’s resignation in January as Harvard’s first Black president following accusations of antisemitism and plagiarism was just the latest in a revolving door of Black women who have been aggressively questioned or abandoned after achieving a career pinnacle.
First of all, 'diversity' is not under attack. DEI -- the codified racism the far-woke Left loves -- is. And rightly so. Discrimination and racism are bad, regardless of who the targets of it are.
The bit about Claudine Gay is especially galling. Is the AP saying we really need to overlook egregious antisemitism and blatant plagiarism because of her race?
Yes, they are.
And that's exactly the problem.
Not the Bee (@Not_the_Bee) ~ Forced diversity via racism is under attack. This should be celebrated. Instead you get hack job headlines like this.
It should be celebrated. The faster DEI dies, the better off we'll all be.
See, the Left thinks certain groups can't get ahead on merit and need DEI and government programs to help them. Meanwhile, the right thinks people -- regardless of race -- can be hired based on their skills and work ethic.
Guess which one is labeled 'racist'?
E T Browning (@ETBrowning01) ~ Diversity isn’t under attack. The discriminatory and divisive way “diversity” is being played for political gain will set the effort back.
Tracy McTyer (@artera_design) ~ I’m a black woman and never had this “issue”. Perhaps look for other reasons these woman are having trouble without making it about the color of their skin color. Good grief @AP. 🙄
The Movie Snob (@TheMovieSnob247) ~ Absolutely trash headline - can we stop this BS?! Black women were getting jobs before the DEI push and they will continue to do so after. This is essentially implying they won't get jobs without it and this is inaccurate. 🤬
TheMotorcycleMechanicFormerlyKnownAsSean (@t4v2a2) ~ Isn't institutionalized racism grand? Let's judge everyone by the colour of their skin.
xristosdomini (@xristosdomini) ~ This just in: @AP doesn't believe black women are capable of securing jobs on their own.
That's what they're saying.
Jamie (@LibertyJamison) ~ No matter how much you hate "journalists," you don't hate them nearly enough.
Never enough.
DEI harms everyone, and helps no one (except the DEI administrators who make huge salaries). It's institutionalized racism and codified discrimination -- things that we should not tolerate in 2024.
