Federal health workers terrified after 'DEI' website publishes list of 'targets'
www.nbcnews.com
The site calls out workers who have been involved with DEI initiatives. A majority are Black.

Summary

Federal health workers are alarmed after the “DEI Watch List” website published names, photos, and salaries of employees, mainly Black, labeling them “targets” for involvement in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

The conservative American Accountability Foundation runs the site, which has sparked fears of doxxing and intimidation.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently issued memos demanding an end to DEI-related work, escalating paranoia. Some staff have been placed on leave.

    Easier to get a job if you’re white whether male or female, easier to get a loan, a home, anything that requires someone to approve what you’re doing. Also easier if you’re a black man. If you’re a black woman? Especially one with a “black” name? You’re often fucked. Many studies have shown this.

    And then there’s the incarceration rate.

      Yeah, but don’t risk taking power from women with misleading facts. The black stats are largely to do with poverty, not with being black. Actually all of the ‘oh-god-help-me’ stats are to do with being poor. Yes, it’s well known that black people are mistreated in society. That has nothing to do with imminent fascism, it’s just how fucked up society was in the first place. The incarceration rate is entirely due to blacks being relegated to poverty and re-enslaved by the system we all apparently supported before Trump. We’ll agree it’s fucking disgusting.

            The incarceration rate? The thing you said had to do with poverty? Are you not reading your own posts?

              Yeah, black people are going to experience a equivalent amount more pain compared to what they already did before Trump fascism.

              The incarceration rate certainly doesn’t show that black women are more incarcerated than black men

                Certainly more than white women, for the reasons I already vomited

                  We were talking about black women vs. white women, you’re changing the subject from your own posts, and I think you’re just trolling at this point.
