DEI killed the CHIPS Act
The CHIPS Act’s current identity as a jobs program for favored minorities means companies are forced to recruit heavily from every population except white and Asian men already trained in the field…
No surprise. If you do business with the federal government or receive grants you will be subject to this. Why nobody connected those dots I don’t know. (I posted about this awful EO when it was issued). Same goes for the infrastructure funds.Thanks for ruining economic progress Libs

Executive Order on Further Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through The Federal Government | The White House
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby orderedwww.whitehouse.gov
Definitions are in this EO
This post shows why DEI is futile. I posted two prolix EO’s about DEI. Not one mention of the two large elephants in the room
A point by point response for me (assuming that this is not a troll account, maybe against my better judgment):
I do not like it as it is instantiated now.
I'm taking your "we" as black people in general. Black people can and do apply for and receive jobs and admissions to colleges. I think the use of "we" and "you" here, to cover all people of a particular skin color over all time is wrongheaded and part of the problem.
Equal "chance" is different than what "equity," as defined by the current instantiation, calls for.
I am not black. I'm not sure if you're correct that black people don't currently have the same chance to get a job or college admit. Here are some statistics that show a higher percentage of black students accepted at prestigious universities than the black population at large. How do you square that with this statement?

Some people are. I am not. I welcome it, if by that you mean the intermarriage of different people with different skin colors.
I am not MAGA, but I think this is ridiculous hyperbole.
I've done a lot in my own life to help disadvantaged people of all sorts, especially black people. I am not wealthy. I don't have much, if any power, to be taken away. I want to see all people everywhere treated equally under the law and with respect in all social situations.
Yes.
Who is the "they" here? If it is today's white people or today's MAGA, I disagree.
I have not done any "shit." Nor is any person on this board responsible for what people who look like us did 25, 50, 100, 200, or 500 years ago. No books are being banned, and history regarding black people is told and retold. Voting rights for black people aren't being "killed," nor is lending.
Inner-city schools are funded quite well in Chicago. Red-lining is illegal and has been for a long time. Money does not equal educational outcomes, though. In general, though, what you are complaining about are the results of poverty. Poverty has many, many different causes, and simplifying them all down to "white supremacy" is lazy thinking.
No, advancement of black people was due to lots of very strong willed, smart, hard-working, black people in the past who spent vastly more of their time focused on achievement than victimhood. You belittle their achievements, at a time when terrible discrimination existed, when you say "all" advancement came from the federal government. And due to their efforts, under the law, you are as equal as I am.
I didn't do that. The Supreme Court (including a black man) and some activist litigants did. AA has always been in tension with the 14th Amendment. Do you believe it was fair for Harvard to discriminate against Asian applicants so that more black applicants could be admitted?
DEI is much different than AA. You are conflating the two.
I'm really sorry you feel that way. I disagree.
Even a random paragraph break in the middle third of that would have been appreciated.
You are entitled to your opinion and yes you are not black. Your schools are not poorly funded. You are not red-lined, We get all the low-wage non-paying jobs. Why are you taking away the right to the polls? DEI is needed because the field is not equal. You are not black. How do you know? The black man on the Supreme Court might as well be black. Someone had to write into law to go to schools, restaurants, vote, jobs-housingA point by point response for me (assuming that this is not a troll account, maybe against my better judgment):

African Americans Accepted Into the Class of 2023 at High-Ranking Colleges and Universities | The Journal of Blacks in Higher Education
Recently, most of the nation’s highest-ranked colleges and universities informed applicants if they had been accepted for admission into the Class of 2023. Some revealed the racial/ethnic breakdown of their admitted students.

ALL those young men's lives our wasted through gang violence and drugs. Have you checked out South Carolina employment . Black people are the first to let go. Who's state is that? Haley and Scott are one of the poorest states number 7 in the nation. You may not personally but there are laws on the books taking away voter rights.How do you know a white man's life? How do you know what kind of school system I went through and how well it was funded?
For the record, I've lived in Chicago and it's near inner-ring suburbs for 24 years.
Why do you keep using the word "you?" I am not taking away the right to the polls--all white people are not some uniform blob of moral responsibility--anymore than you are out participating in gang violence.
Black people do not get "all the low-wage non-paying jobs."
Pandemic Shifts in Black Employment and Wages | CEA | The White House
The early months of the pandemic hit every American hard, but particularly Black Americans, as noted in a recent CEA issue brief. For example, the unemployment rate for Black workers peaked at 16.8 percent in May 2020, higher and later than the overall unemployment rate that peaked at 14.7...
Can you list, and link to, those specific laws “on the books taking away voter rights?”
They are taking away college voting, they are taking away early voting, and voting on Sundays. Just to name a few.
The Asians help you guys get rid of AA, but again we have poor schools, poor jobs, and poor housing. Yes, its a culture of racism and discrimination.
Not all black families are dysfunctional, yet you do not want to admit your policies of racism, poor schools, or redlining. You say nothing about all the property white people have stolen or the plight of black farmers. You know nothing about black people.
You actually haven’t named any. And who is “they” - it’s always the proverbial “they” - and where are “they” doing all this “taking away?”
Your gop legislature in several states Texas, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi Georgia, and Tennesee just to name a few,
The white fathers were even higher, you know why . There were more of them but nobody talks about that.
You know the voting days for the next 40 years. Are you able to start planning NOW?
JDB, your post offers an interesting take on how a bipartisan bill dealing with a broad range of initiatives (national defense, funding businesses, hiring employees, etc.) can become controversial once administered by the executive branch.Thanks for ruining economic progress Libs

that is an interesting read. i agree that a reorganization is probably due. i think there are assumptions in that article that may not mirror the economy.
