I imagine a USA where race no longer predicts outcomes.
🎯 Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott Nails IT! 🎯
The assault on DEI is really an assault on
➡ D Duly
➡ E Elected
➡ I Incumbents -
(Black people and "others" who exercise their rightful place in a democratic republic to represent the people)
and, by extension,
the right of any Black person to enjoy the rights and privileges of citizenship in an aspirational United States of America where race no longer predicts outcomes.
Blackness (which doesn't know its place) triggers whiteness since whiteness presumes a plantation white entitlement to control the location of its property.
This is the 🌟 Presumption of Whereabouts Authority 🌟 as I teach in #12swa Twelve Steps for White America.
PWA illustrates a commodification of Blackness as a means to sustain the profit of rigged advantage. (Think carceral state from fugitive slave patrols to for-profit prisons, Karens, and minority rule including electoral college, senate, SCOTUS).
To the colonized and conditioned white mind, when this happens, it triggers a threat to the existence of whiteness itself, since whiteness was and remains a colonial American construction (an inclusion-collusion-delusion) to sustain rigged advantage, which can only persist through white supremacy and anti-Blackness.
🙏🏼 Mayor Scott's teaching here can lead to truth reconciliation and renewal.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott hit back at the racist right wing attacks against him following the Key Bridge collapse for “having the nerve to be Black and also a mayor.”
“What they mean by DEI, in my opinion, is duly elected incumbent.” 🔥🔥🔥
Mayor Scott did not mince any words and I’m here for it ✊🏾

It appears that some DEI advocates may have become disheartened or disillusioned over the years, leading to a perceived lack of current effort and failure of current leadership in addressing this issue. However, it is important to note that DEI remains a crucial and ongoing cause. A recent appeal by the Black Business Fund is testing the application of post-Civil War laws in cases related to DEI, highlighting the continued relevance of the issue.
