Herschel Walker: Ambassador to the Bahamas

[mediaexpert]

What is the point of this blog?

The media digs up trash on every black person who goes against the Swamp's narrative for how they want America to think.

Therefore, I agree that every black person Trump appoints will be seen as a DEI hire because the perception is that every black person who goes against the Swamp is unqualified. Trump knows this, but he still has to hire some blacks who the media has promoted as being incompetent.

Hopefully, in two years, when America has curtailed DEI, wokeism, anarchy, political persecution, graft, corruption, etc, we will get what MLK and DJT want, and that is the most qualified person.

The programming that has taken place has taken hold in some and I seriously doubt that in two years DEI will no longer exist or be reduced significantly. I would love to be wrong, but too many have lapped it up. Even with a few more minorities voting for Trump, the democrats contain many that see themselves as victims as well as seeing them as needing more control over their lives. Unfortunately, MLK's concern for character is mostly found in history books

Folks who are against DEI are racist and do not want blacks to be hired to the same positions as whites. Plain and simple. Or blacks that do not fit your political ideology as republicans. I never heard y'all call Colin Powell or Condoleezza Rice DEI hires. Or even the subject of this topic, Herchel Walker a DEI hire. Also, y'all never put a label on any white person that is clearly not qualified for positions.

Y'all say absolutely nothing about legacy admissions in colleges. How do you think dumb ass Bush the Younger got into Yale? How do you think AZ Sen. McCain got into the Naval Academy?

This sentance captures the confusion of the woke. They sincerely believe that hiring someone because of their race is not racism. The idea of being color blind in hiring is sheer fiction to them.

Same is true with illegal immigration. If you oppose millions of people coming into our country illegally, then the woke insist that you are a racist. You aren't motivated by national security or the cost of supporting these aliens or concern about the crimes they cause, your sole motivation is racial hatred.

So Wrong. Just the opposite really.
Folks just favor performance over skin color.

For example if 3 people are on a summer internship performance trial......And a Latino is consistently out selling a Black or an Oriental......we are hiring the Latino permanent. Only racist people would permanently hire the Oriental or Black because of DEI or they prefer being around that skin color over the Latino.

I have no doubt trump and his ace cabinet picks will do away with DEI hires. I'm not sure what else these unqualified boobs will get done but you will be able to declare victory on the DEI front. That's certainly the biggest problem we have.

Count the DOE gone and returned to the states where it should have been all along. It's friggin' time government and political favors are reigned in and a balanced budget is in place. Oh my, you lefties are going to be so wrung out at the end of the next four years.

Okay, I'm declaring a truck load of bull shit with this statement. All conservatives want is the most qualified person running things, whether that be the US or Indiana. You've gone totally batshit crazy with this statement.

Y'all say absolutely nothing about legacy admissions in colleges. How do you think dumb ass Bush the Younger got into Yale? How do you think AZ Sen. McCain got into the Naval Academy?

Both Bush and McCain (though I'm not a strong McCain supporter) were qualified to enter and both were intelligent enough to do so. Bush the younger was a pilot, and you can't be stupid and live doing that. You know, like Lurch claiming to be a River boat pilot in Viet Nam.

It simply amazes me that some can't see that DEI is the epitome of Racism and Sexism. How can it become any clearer to see special privilege given dependent of race or sex and yet not connect that is the definition of racism and sexism? This is why wokeness will not be gone in a couple of years. As simple as the understanding is...it is far too difficult for many.

Only racist people would call an ethnic group, oriental. Oriental is a rug. When referred to the people in that region, Asian is the proper term.

If there were no such thing as racism in America, we would never need to have affirmative action or DEI. White folks have historically hired or admitted into schools other whites regardless of qualifications. DEI gives other ethnic groups an equal chance in gaining employment or entry to college that they normally would not have. I see DEI as a form of reparations for past injustices in hiring practices in this country.

White women have historically been the greater benefactors of affirmative action. I don’t see y’all whine about that.

Go to Milan’s at 51st and Broadway, face the camera, get buzzed in and let it fly. You’ll feel better.
Katie will put up with it for a solid 10 min.

Oh wait a minute —Katie and Milan’s is gone now.
Just like all of this victimhood nonsense should be.

DEI is a political tool used by whiners and liberals for those willing to use it to say I'm not good enough or smart enough to compete, so I'll be bought. It's slavery at its current finest.

DEI was intended to give those minorities who ARE SMART ENOUGH AND GOOD ENOUGH to get jobs they were denied for decades. That was a REAL THING. Do you remember? Or are you gonna deny that it ever happened?

Now, while in some cases it has gone too far and needs to be reevaluated, it doesn't mean there aren't racist asswipes out there who are still denying qualified people positions based on their color, ethnicity, or religion.

You can take solace that when our institutions go to hell because of unqualified people who are focused on the wrong thing, DEI will be no more. I guess you can only blame the white people then.

Thank you for your irrelevant rant.

The Trump team will eliminate DEI from Govt starting 21 .......as many in industry & business already have.

Good riddance.

White women benefitting from affirmative action more than anyone is real. Has been for decades. So how do you feel about that now?

Affirmative Action Has Helped White Women More Than Anyone

Studies show affirmative action helps white women as much or more than others

That’s the thing that I have trying to convey. They are conditioned to believe that blacks and other minorities are not smart enough and good enough to be hired for the same positions as whites. But since in their minds, white women are smart enough and they say absolutely nothing about them benefitting from affirmative action/DEI more than any other minority.

I blame it all on the Italians!

We had internment camps for the Italians, Japanese, and Germans during WWII. However, it was the Italians who protested against the TV show The Untouchables and the put down of the Mafia, and thus, I first heard the term Italian-American.

The biggest ethnic joke I heard daily was about the Japanese during the fifties and sixties. They took the insults in stride even though it was implied they were the stupidest people. When something broke, the joke was that it must have been made in Japan. In the late sixties, they were upgraded to have the mentality of apes. They could copy anything, but none of them had an original thought in their head. In the late seventies, when a Japanese man entered the room, the consensus was that he must be smart. Thirty years.

After the Civil War, blacks needed a hand because this was a despicable period in America. And many blacks were not educated. We should have taken the high road and congratulated every American for their hand in helping end slavery. Instead, we blamed the South, and unfortunately, Lincoln was assassinated.

Woodrow Wilson was a horrendous President who encouraged segregation and separated our military. I give Harry Truman a big thumbs up, even though his mouth should have been washed out with soap for how he referred to blacks. Some blacks in the fifties preferred the term negro or colored, but I love the phrase black is beautiful. Being black is beautiful and has some advantages, and every black should be proud to be black.

In the fifties, blacks were conservative, and their divorce rate was low, and church attendance was high. And as one previously posted, Congress unintentionally reversed all of this, giving extras to single-family households and the false impression that blacks cannot make it on their own.

I am confident Trump will change all of this B.S. IMO, we need to end the term diversity and embrace the term melting pot.

Are the bahamas even in your top 1000 priorities in your life? Im gonna guess NO. What makes you qualified to judge the appointment?

Because we have a brain and can see the obvious.

I guess whites couldn’t make it on their own either. The welfare system participation for whites are very close to or even greater than the welfare participation rates of blacks.

How are you going to have a so called melting pot when y’all do not want diversity?

 

[Quix0te]

Please stop the childish word games. The melting pot is true diversity, all ethnic groups combined. DEI is using race and gender as metrics for hiring and promotion rather than merit. And you know this.

Diversity is fine. Blatant racism by the use of color of one's skin or by the genitals of the person is not. Keep on letting the left tell you that you're not good, nor smart enough to succeed through your own hard work and you'll continue to fail.

Since you haven't presented your case that you're a part of the solution of which you complain, then you surely must be a larger part of the overall problem.

Such a true statement, though I believe it was not unintentional; that it was indeed a way to make dependents to the democrat desire to continue slavery in a different form.

So why is it ok for unqualified whites to get into college or employment over qualified blacks?

 

[mediaexpert]

Life is never fair. I have never been in an organization or team where someone did not think someone else was better than I was.

President Trump was the best President in my lifetime, yet fifty million Americans voted for Biden in 2020, and about the same number voted for Harris in 2024. This is unfair, but you can't legislate a law to correct this.

Biden out people in his Administration who did a TERRIBLE job on the border and Internationally. He lost trying to be politically correct. If a company hired someone unqualified instead of me, they lost. If a team thought a player should play instead of me, it showed in their record. It does not matter their race, religion, creed, sex, or sexual preference; they need to hire the best if they want to win - period.

Except for the release of the Wuhan Flu, Trump was the BIG winner in his first term. If Trump wants to hire Walker, you can think it is a DEI hire, and that is your right. However, as President, I figure Trump is ten moves ahead of everyone else. There may be more qualified people than Walker, but no one on this blog has shown me that they know enough to judge someone that Trump has selected.

 

[Quix0te]

So why is it ok for unqualified whites to get into college or employment over qualified blacks?

My God, what does it take to get it into your head? We're not talking about unqualified whites getting into college or being hired for jobs over qualified blacks. The issue is unqualified blacks getting into college or hired for employment over qualified whites because there is a quota for blacks.

 

[BNIBoiler]

We're not talking about unqualified whites getting into college or being hired for jobs over qualified blacks.

Of course not. Y’all never do as this has been going on for decades and decades. That is exactly my point. Also, y’all say nothing about legacy admissions to colleges. You can’t tell me every legacy admission to Ivy League, or any school, qualifications are better than non-legacy folks.

You see, y’all always maximize the minimum and minimize the maximum. Of course there exception, but y’all always assume that blacks that get into these schools or employment are not qualified. Again say nothing about white women enhancement through affirmative action. Quota or no quota, DEI/affirmative action makes up for all of the prior atrocities of whites getting hired over qualified blacks.

Now white folks want to speak out against DEI. Y’all sure never spoke out when whites were only hiring whites. So like y’all tell black people all of the time. Stop acting like the victim.

I have a feeling we might be the same chronological age but you’re hung up on craziness and reparations.

Calm down and KYP. Especially in this forum.

For an educated man - you are beginning to sound more and more like an angry defeatist.

How many more of those in your opinion does the Region need?

You STILL don’t get it….
People don’t care (especially Republicans and conservatives) what color a persons skin is when they’re appointed or hired. They care if the reason for the appointment or hire is BECAUSE of the color of their skin.

When dipshit Biden said he would only consider a black woman for VP, he set himself up for the DEI mess he created.

Nothing wrong with diversity. But forced diversity is another issue.
Diversity as a method of virtue signaling is a problem.
Diversity for the sake of saying “hey, look how many black employees we have! Aren’t we open-minded!” (As another door falls off the plane in flight).

The Ivies are falling all over themselves trying to admit more black students. Nothing would make these bastions of liberalism more happy. (Other than white liberals saying behind closed doors “we need to be conscious of not getting too diverse….”)

The hard truth though, is finding enough of these students who can succeed academically without changing standards.

If they don't care about skin color, then why for decades more qualified blacks aren't hired over non-qualified whites? Or, why these same people, hire more white women through affirmative action than any other group?

Hiring is subjective, because “qualified “ is subjective. Maybe people didn’t interview well.

Historically true.

Great thing though, it's long in the past. Irrelevant to today's job market and hirings. Hopefully you recognize that??

And why DEI is being done away with. Just not needed & waste of money
