Fred Flintstone really turned into an asshole

On a serious note this is just sad.

“The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

The funny thing is that the DEI committee that ruined my career over the fact I was intersex had zero black people on it, in a department with zero black employees.

I don’t think of race issues when I think of DEI, because we didn’t have an iota racial diversity at that job.

I think of the gender war when I think of DEI, and how I got caught in the crossfire.

Maybe if DEI actually existed to hire diverse pools of employees instead of persecuting sexual minorities for wrongthink and nonconformity, more people would have supported it. I know I would have been all for an anti-racist DEI program.

What’s DEI?

Why isn’t higher taxes on wealthy on the list? Wasn’t that also true in the 50s?
