DEI: Two Wrongs Don't Make a Right
by Mike Baker
For decades, the Democratic Party has peddled Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as a moral panacea, a sacred crusade to heal the wounds of history and deliver justice to the downtrodden. But strip away the sanctimonious rhetoric, and what remains is a grotesque sham: DEI is not a beacon of fairness but a wedge of division—a thinly veiled excuse for anti-white racism that flouts the law, squanders resources, and dismantles the very foundations of a free society. DEI is also an immoral, hypocritical, and legally indefensible enterprise that betrays the promise of equality enshrined in the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Far from uniting us, DEI policies—pushed relentlessly by the woke zealots of the Left—punish merit, stifle dissent, and enshrine discrimination as a virtue. It’s time to call this abomination what it is: a scam, a grift, and a betrayal of everything America stands for.

The Rise of the DEI Industrial Complex

Picture this: a brilliant engineer, after years of relentless study and innovation, applies for a job at a top firm. His resume is impeccable—patents, awards, a proven track record. But he’s rejected. Why? His skin is white, and the company needs to hit its diversity quota. Or imagine a young woman, a straight-A student with perfect test scores, denied admission to her dream college because her gender doesn’t align with the school’s “equity” targets. This isn’t a dystopian fantasy; it’s the reality DEI has wrought—a world where qualifications are trashed, and immutable traits dictate your fate.

DEI, we’re told, is about righting historical wrongs, ensuring everyone gets a fair shot. But in practice, it’s a zero-sum game of racial and sexual spoils, where one group’s gain is another’s loss. At its rotten core, DEI is anti-white racism, plain and simple. It’s a doctrine that brands whiteness as a sin to be atoned for, while elevating other identities as inherently noble. This isn’t progress—it’s in-your-face racism dressed up in progressive jargon, a regression to judging people not by their deeds but by their DNA. The Civil Rights Act, which once shielded us from such bigotry, has been perverted into a weapon that's been used to enforce it.

The Democrats have spent decades embedding this cancer into every institution—government, corporations, schools—turning DEI into a multi-billion-dollar industry of consultants, trainings, and quotas. The Trump administration saw through the farce, taking bold steps to dismantle it, but the Biden era has revived it with a vengeance. We must tear DEI apart, piece by piece, exposing its illegality, wastefulness, and moral bankruptcy. It’s time to rip the mask off the woke agenda and demand a reckoning.

Illegal Discrimination Masquerading as Justice

DEI’s most egregious sin is its brazen violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which forbids discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Yet, DEI policies do exactly that, doling out rewards and punishments based on immutable characteristics. Affirmative action, once a limited tool to address specific past wrongs, has ballooned into a sprawling system of racial favoritism. Colleges like Harvard have been caught red-handed, systematically rejecting Asian-American applicants with stellar credentials to make room for less-qualified candidates of “preferred” races (any race but Caucasian or Asian). The Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling against race-based admissions (Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard) was a rare victory, but universities are already scheming to defy it with new tricks.

In the workplace, it’s even worse. Tech giants like Google and Microsoft have faced lawsuits for anti-white and anti-male hiring biases, with internal memos revealing explicit targets to shrink the share of white and Asian employees. This isn’t “inclusion”—it’s exclusion, a textbook breach of Title VII, which bans employment discrimination by race or sex. Yet, DEI evangelists strut around, smugly touting their quotas as proof of virtue, daring anyone to call out the illegality. The Trump administration’s executive orders banning such practices in federal agencies were a lifeline, a reminder that the law isn’t a plaything for social engineers. But the woke Left doesn’t care—they’d rather shred the Civil Rights Act than abandon their racial vendetta.

What’s the counterargument? That discrimination is justified to fix “systemic racism”? Nonsense. Two wrongs don’t make a right, and there’s no evidence that punishing today’s whites fixes yesterday’s sins. The law demands equality, not revenge. DEI isn’t justice—it’s bigotry with a better PR team.

A Financial Black Hole of Waste and Grift

DEI isn’t just illegal—it’s a colossal waste of money. The federal government has shoveled billions into this bottomless pit, funding everything from “implicit bias” workshops to diversity czars who rake in six-figure salaries to preach woke gospel. A 2021 Heritage Foundation report pegged the annual cost at over $1 billion for taxpayers alone. In the private sector, it’s a $10 billion racket—consultants peddling pseudoscientific claptrap to guilt-ridden CEOs. And for what? Studies, like those from Harvard Business Review, show diversity training doesn’t reduce bias—it often makes workplaces more hostile.

Take Coca-Cola’s 2021 debacle: a DEI seminar told employees to “be less white.” The backlash was fierce, but the real scandal was the cost—millions squandered on divisive drivel while customers fumed. Or consider the Pentagon, which under Biden has poured funds into DEI programs while China builds hypersonic missiles. This isn’t an investment—it’s a grift, enriching a parasitic class of activists while delivering nothing but resentment.

Defenders claim it’s worth it to “level the playing field.” But where’s the proof? Billions spent, and racial gaps in education and employment persist. DEI is a luxury belief for elites, a shiny bauble to flaunt while ignoring real problems like crumbling schools or job losses. It’s theft from the public purse, and it’s time to shut it down.

The Death of Meritocracy

DEI’s war on meritocracy is its most dangerous crime. By obsessing over racial and sexual “equity,” it demands equal outcomes, not equal chances—damn the consequences. In a merit-based world, the best rise to the top. In DEI’s dystopia, the best are sidelined if they don’t fit the diversity checklist.

Think of the stakes. A hospital hires a surgeon not for her skill but her race—patients die. An airline picks pilots to meet quotas, not flight records—planes crash. This isn’t hyperbole. The FAA’s 2023 push for diversity sparked fears of diluted standards. Medical schools, bowing to DEI, have lowered bars for certain groups, despite data showing higher failure rates on licensing exams (JAMA, 2022). The result? A generation of professionals propped up not by competence but by ideology.

Meritocracy isn’t perfect, but it’s the bedrock of progress—rewarding effort and talent, not birthright. DEI spits on that, insisting that a less-qualified candidate deserves the job if their identity ticks the right box. It’s a recipe for collapse, especially in fields where failure isn’t an option. The woke cry that meritocracy is “racist” because outcomes aren’t equal ignores reality: people aren’t equal in ability or drive. Forcing parity doesn’t lift anyone up—it drags everyone down.

Ideological Indoctrination and the Cult of Wokeness

DEI isn’t just policy—it’s a cult, with critical race theory as its scripture and “anti-racism” as its creed. It divides the world into oppressors (white, male, straight) and oppressed (everyone else), demanding penance from the former and victimhood from the latter. Schools teach kids to see race in everything—kindergartners reciting guilt trips about “privilege.” Corporations force workers into reeducation camps, where dissent means ostracism or firing. Universities churn out graduates who parrot woke platitudes instead of thinking for themselves.

This isn’t enlightenment—it’s indoctrination. Take Starbucks’ 2018 “racial bias” training after a PR flap—thousands of employees subjected to lectures on white fragility, no questions allowed. Or public schools pushing Ibram X. Kendi’s books, which argue racism is baked into America’s DNA. It’s a one-way street: agree or be branded a bigot. The Trump administration’s ban on critical race theory in federal training was a strike against this tyranny, but the Left’s dug in deeper since.

The rebuttal? “It’s just education about history.” Wrong. It’s propaganda, replacing facts with feelings and reason with dogma. Free societies thrive on debate, not orthodoxy. DEI’s thought police are strangling that freedom, and we’re letting them.

Legal and Constitutional Quagmires

DEI doesn’t just break employment law—it trashes the Constitution. The Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause forbids unequal treatment by race or sex, yet DEI thrives on it. The Harvard ruling should’ve killed race-based policies, but the woke pivot to “holistic” workarounds shows their contempt for the law. In workplaces, Title VII lawsuits pile up—white and Asian employees suing over lost promotions, affinity groups excluding them, trainings stereotyping them as “privileged.”

The EEOC’s 2023 complaint surge proves the backlash is real. DEI’s legal house of cards is crumbling, but its architects don’t care—they’d rather burn the system down than admit defeat. The Trump-era crackdown on federal DEI was a start, but it’s not enough. Every quota, every bias seminar, mocks the Constitution’s promise of equal justice.

Conclusion: The Reckoning

DEI is a hydra of horrors—illegal, wasteful, anti-merit, indoctrinating, and unconstitutional. It’s not about inclusion; it’s about power, cloaking anti-white racism in the language of equity. The Civil Rights Act was a vow of colorblindness, not a license for revenge. The Democrats’ decades-long push for this woke nightmare has fractured us, pitting race against race, sex against sex, all for political gain.

We must reject this poison. End the quotas. Defund the consultants. Restore merit and equality as our guiding stars. The Trump administration lit the fuse—now it’s on us to finish the job. America’s soul hangs in the balance.
