  Speaker 2: Yeah you'all forgot about murder hornets? Huh?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Or maybe you remember our nationwide reckoning with racism. After
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the murder George Floyd, white people across America looked around
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and said.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Wait a second, are we racists?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: So America took a good hard look at itself, and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: when big corporations sought themselves in the mirror, they said,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: oh shit, we're white as inequality in corporate America. There
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: are only five black CEOs running Fortune five hundred companies.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: You can see six percent of top executives as black.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: In terms of the population of the United States, it
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: should be thirteen percent. In the video, Nike said, don't
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: pretend there's not a problem in America.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Critics point out that all of Nike's executives are white.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: The board and Nike was so white. They were all
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: wearing new balance. And to address this problem, businesses turned
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to a solution called diversity.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Equity and Inclusion are DEI.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: It means more fair hiring policies, new anti discrimination rules
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: for the workplace, and sensitivity training seminars and The first
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: thing it led to was a shitload of ads. Real
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: progress on diversity and inclusion doesn't happen without real work.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: You sa celebrate diversity into your X one voice remote
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: to discover curated content Today every day, General Meals serves
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the world by making food people love and inclusion.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: It's one of our secret.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Ingredients at craft times, all purposes to make life delicious,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: and we believe we can't achieve that that one essential
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: ingredients diversity. It's diversity that makes life delicious. We're on
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: a four hundred year long journey and scars don't fade,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: but neither does hope.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Ask your doctor, black people are right for you. Nobody's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: buying basiline because of diversity. Come to think of it,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever actually bought vasiline.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: It's just there, like it comes with the house. Right.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So that's how things stood in twenty twenty.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: But that was like fifteen years ago.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Today, when people talk about de I, it's more likely
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to sound like.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: This DEI is just a rebranded version of hating white people.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: DEI in this case stands for divisive, erroneous, and insidious.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: DEI, which stands for didn't.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Earn it discrimination, exclusion and indoctrination. EIDI stands for doctor
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: dre e.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: E in IQ.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, y'all cheering out there, But do you
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: want with attitude coming to your office?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: These right wingers are crazy, right Jesus?
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: But here's the part where you all stop applauding everything
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: I say. The truth about DEI is that, although it's
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: well intentioned, it's mostly garbage. Okay, it's kind of like
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the Black Little Mermaid. Just because racist hate it doesn't
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: mean it's good. And you know I'm right because every
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: one of you has sat through one of those diversity
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: training sessions.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: And thought this is bullshit. And it's not just you.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Over nine hundred studies have shown that DEI programs don't
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: make the workplace better for minorities. In fact, it can
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: actually make things worse because of the backlash effect. Remember
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Dare from school, y'all remember Dare?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she said woo.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: DEI training is like daan for racism, and you all
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: know how effective that was. I was sitting there going,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: oh shit, there's a ton of fun drugs I should try.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know about Moley, thanks Officer John. But
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: the biggest failure of DEI is that the number of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: black people in power at big companies is basically the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: same as it was five years ago.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: In fact, maybe the only thing that DEI.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Has accomplished is giving racist white people cover to be
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: openly racist.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: DEI breeds complacency, Dana and complacency kills.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have doctors who don't know how to perform
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: heart surgery, and we're gonna have planes that are falling
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: out of the sky. Boeing recently bragg not about being
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the best in the business, but about surpassing its diversity quotas.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Oh goodie, but then not so good. A door flying
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: off one of Boeing seven thirty seven supermaxis.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, if I see a black pilot, I'm gonna
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: be like, boy, I hope he's qualified.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, when I see a black pilot, I'm
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: not worried that we're going to crash.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I'm worried that.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: We're going to get pulled over. That's right, and no
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: officer I will not step out of his vehicle, all right.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: But yeah, they're blaming THEI for everything, even that bridge
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in Baltimore they called Baltimore's mayor, the DEI mayor like
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: he was given the job for being black. Then they
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: said the shipping company was too focused on DEI instead
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: of safety.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: But almost the entire leadership with a company is white,
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: no black people. Right.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: If anything, the Baltimore mayor, he should have been the
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: one to make it racist.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Just come out like these crackers knocked down my bridge. Okay,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: all right, and one of y'all crackers better pay for it. Okay.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And honestly, I'm not surprised these programs didn't work.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: And here's why.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: It's just corporate pr They want good vibes and also
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: they want to cover their ass.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Did you know that if a company gets sued for
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: civil rights violations, just having a DEI program will be
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: counted as evidence in their favor, even if the program
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: doesn't do shit. Okay, it's the I have a black
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: friend of the legal system. All right. We don't need
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: corporate DEI. Yes, we want diversity and equity and inclusion,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: but we don't want it from Vasiline. Although I'm not
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: going to front, Vasiline has been there for the black
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: community respect.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's right, that's right. I'm moisturized Okay.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Look, man, real DEI is only going to come from
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: black leadership. I don't know how to do it because
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not a black leader, but I do know how
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to tell if it's working.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Just keep an eye on right wing media.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: The more they're freaking out, the more progress we're making.
