THE THREE GREAT MYTHS: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion

“The great enemy of truth is very often not the lie–deliberate, contrived and dishonest–but the myth—persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.” ― John F. Kennedy, Commencement Address at Yale University, June 11 1962.

“In order to oppress, a group must hold institutional power in society. In this way, the group is in the position to impose their worldview on others and control the ideas (ideologies), political rules (the technical mechanisms), and social rules for communication (discourses) that we are all taught (socialized) to see as normal, natural, and required for a functioning society. This domination is historical (long-term), automatic, and normalized.“ – Sensoy, Ozlem, and Robin DiAngelo, Is Everyone Really Equal?: An Introduction to Key Concepts in Social Justice Education.

We contest the uncontested absurdities of our time. JFK said, “We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.” Thought begins with the letter “T” as does the word Truth.

Truth is the enemy of the myth.

Nazi propagandist, Joseph Goebbels said:

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State.

Today, we are in an era of opinion and propaganda. Politicians, the legacy media, social media are now driven by opinion while pushing propaganda and not careful thought. Today Americans are subjected to myths rather than the truth. Today, telling the truth has become a revolutionary act.

On this day we have seen the Russian collusion myth exposed as a red flag operation conducted by the Hillary Clinton campaign against Donald J. Trump. We are seeing the American, and Canadian, people waking up to truth about Covid, and the getting jabbed or lose your job draconian government mandates put upon them. We are even seeing medical racism in the United States of America. We are also witnessing companies like IBM discriminating against older employees in favor of younger employees.

Where’s the diversity, equity and inclusion in any of these?

Sadly, we are witnesses to the Democrat Party going full Marxist with their efforts to save the planet via the Green New Deal, control the people using Covid/healthcare institutions as their willing allies and declaring those who speak out against those in charge at every level, from school board to Washington, D.C. enemies of the state. The Department of Homeland Security has now deemed those who spread “mis-, dis or mal-information are “domestic terrorists.”

As Goebbels said, “truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State.”

The Three Great Myths

On June 25, 2021, Biden signed an Executive Order on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce. According to a White House fact-sheet, the Executive Order, among other items:

• “Establishes a government-wide initiative to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in all parts of the Federal workforce. 
• charges all Federal agencies with reviewing within 100 days whether employees who are members of underserved communities face barriers to employment, promotion, or professional development within their workforce.
• Directs agencies to seek opportunities to establish or elevate Chief Diversity Officers within their organizations.
• Expands diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility training throughout the Federal workforce.
• Directs agencies to ensure that the Federal health benefits system equitably serves LGBTQ+ employees and their dependents by expanding access to comprehensive gender-affirming health care.”

This single action created a massive bureaucracy to push the three myths of diversity, equity and inclusion.

The Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, reads:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

What Jefferson, and the founding fathers, understood that while men are created equal by God, once born they, via nature and nurture, become different not equal. Some are stronger, have a higher IQ, are more prone to success, have families, have children and grandchildren and have hopes and dreams for the future.

It doesn’t matter what the color of ones skin is, what matters in the long run is the content of ones character.

However, Jefferson understood that the role of government was to protect and defend our individual rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If government fails to protect these rights then the Declaration of Independence demands:

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Perhaps the three greatest and most “persistent, persuasive and unrealistic” myths are diversity, equity and inclusion. These myths have taken the idea of “equal justice under the law” and turned it on its collectivist head. These myths threaten “abuses and usurpations” and are leading America toward “absolute despotism.”

These myths are race based and by definition racist policies.

Those who promote “diversity, equity and inclusion” want these myth for some but not for all Americans.

Please watch the below presentation by James Lindsay on Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and systemic power dynamics:

These three myths have become the rallying cry for the Biden administration, the Democrat Party, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, social media, the legacy media and Hollywood. Anyone who doesn’t support any or all of these myths is labeled a right wing radical, homophobic, Islamophobic, racist, white supremacist and domestic terrorist.

The Bottom Line

In an The National Interest article Adam Milstein, James Jay Carafano and Elan S. Carr wrote:

A recent Heritage Foundation study found strong anti-Israel bias in the social media posts of “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” (DEI) officials at colleges and universities throughout the United States. These officials criticize Israel far more frequently and far more severely than they do China. Their posts about Israel exceed those mentioning China by a factor of three, and almost all of their statements about Israel express condemnation, whereas nearly two-thirds of their comments on China convey praise.

These disturbing findings should surprise no one. U.S. campuses have become hotbeds of hostility toward the state of Israel as well as toward the idea of American exceptionalism, and in the radical religion of the campus, far-left professors are the priests and DEI officers are the choir.

America was founded as the new Israel. Our Founding Fathers believed in the power of the God of Abraham and said so in both the Declaration of Independence and in the U.S. Constitution and in the First Amendment there to.

On February 14th, 2022 The Daily Conservative reported:

A private school in Rhode Island has excluded white children from an event, allowing only those who “identify as a student of color or multiracial” to attend.

The Wheeler School in Providence, Rhode Island, excluded white students from attending the guest speaker event.

“In a February 7, 2022, email to sixth, seventh, and eighth graders, the school invited only non-white students to attend a ‘Students of Color affinity group’ speaking event with actress and author Karyn Parsons, who is best known for her role as Hilary Banks in NBC’s The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” reports Breitbart News.

Diversity, equity and inclusion are anti-American, un-America and anti-Semitic myths designed to separate us, make us unequal and shut some out of the political, cultural, legal and social systems.

Remember all men are created equal but after that it is up to them to do what is right, good and healthy.

During the National Prayer Breakfast of 1963, President John F. Kennedy said,

“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.”

Finally, George Washington University associate professor Elisabeth Anker in a CBC Radio interview said,

“Freedom is a slippery concept…On the far right, [individual freedom] is often translated into somebody who refuses to be bound by norms of equality, treating all people equally or norms to remedy inequality, whether that’s trying to remedy racial discrimination or gender discrimination…Freedom is often used almost as a national entitlement, as a claim for what people have…It’s been taking a lot of people by surprise to see people in Canada, who often seem so much more accepting of social interdependence, to start pushing back against it with the language of individual freedom.

Yes, Elisabeth freedom is a national entitlement, equity is a myth. For you see,

Free people are not equal and equal people are not free.

And so ends this lesson on political mythology 2022.
