So you agree with the right wing. Nice! That was easy. :)

Pointing out your hypocrisy is not really agreeing

still waiting for a definition of woke after hundreds of pages of woke threads

if only you knew what you were all upset about….

You weren’t replying to me.

Has it sunk in yet?

If not, we'll keep trying.

You're worth saving.

Maureen Dowd and Mika Brzezinski are right wing trolls?

Identity politics, the multiverse of gender identity and the notion of cultural appropriation. How’s that?

Apparently not.  Costco has come out swinging.

Shareholders, not the board will make that decision. 
 

“Shareholders will vote on a proposal brought by the National Center for Public Policy Research challenging the legality of Costco's DEI program after the Supreme Court's ruling in SFFA v. Harvard that discriminating on the basis of race in college admissions violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment…

Companies that have since rolled back DEI commitments and/or laid off employees from DEI departments include Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, Zoom and John Deere”

Good thing they aren't a college doing college admissions.

Given the way they treat employees, this would be a difficult choice and could seriously alter the support that Costco currently receives due to their treatment of humans.

No one benefits when identity trumps capability.

Let me add micro aggressions and word policing to that list ie birthing person, partner (instead of husband, wife, boyfriend or girlfriend), Latinx, men who menstruate.  Oh and the need for warnings.

Enough definitions for you?

[wmw999 2,442]

How about adding just plain rude to that list.

No one claims that other than the white wingers, like you.

Veiled hate and racism is alive and well in America, where advancement is in reverse.

Nice experiment while it lasted.

You say veiled hate - I say Common Sense.

Racism doesn't have anything to do with it anymore.

Now DEI is just virtue signaling.  UNLESS the goal is to dumb down the populace even more than the department of education already does.

Trying to make people believe a self assigned gender that is obviously not true, like being a cat, is like trying to get Jakee to stop automatically taking the other side of whatever I say.

He would no sooner accept that I identify as one of his many his betters, than I would accept a person being hired for a job because they said they identified as a cat.  The facts be damned.

Lol, what? You’re saying I only think that Trump suggesting injecting bleach and shining UV light as a treatment for Covid was incredibly stupid because you think it was an intelligent and insightful suggestion? You’re saying I only picked you up on your made up climate change predictions because it was you that made them up? What was that about narcissism again?

Well it’s certainly impossible to argue against that - because it’s meaningless word salad.

Nope - what I have attested is that he was just spitballing ideas.  He also ended his statement with I don't know, or some other type of idiom.

What I find funny is that with Biden and his gaffes, you seem to be able to parse his words into meaningful sentences.

But to your last: Your lack of ability to understand it doesn't make it a salad.

It's laughable to see his repeated attempts to explain his lack of English and communication skills as it being everyone else's fault they cannot understand his salads.

Sounds a lot like the felon in chief. Streams of complete rubbish, but it's every living beings' fault he is unable to communicate.

Are you having difficulties as well?

Let me try to help.

He= Jakee

I= Me

Ahh I see - the second added "his" has thrown you off so hard your mind couldt grasp the intent.

I edited it for you so you can try again.

I'm sorry you aren't capable of problem solving at this level.

Oh that's what you meant? Well that's hilariously dumb. Of course I know you identify as one of my betters - it's all part and parcel of your closed minded, narcissistic personality. If you just assume you're better then you don't have to risk actually listening to anything.

Well, with being woke - you are required to acknowledge and accept that as fact now.

And pedophilia, and people who double park, and bad breath, and socialists, and people who say "happy holidays" instead of "merry christmas."

Woke is now "that which I dislike."

Who's been watching too much Fox after their bedtime?

[brenthutch 444]

In other news, Trump just appointed an Air Force officer who was fired for his pushback on DEI, to lead a task force with the mission of expunging DEI nonsense from the DoD.

Rarely, if ever do I watch TV, let alone Fox,  but you just keep being wrong in your assumptions.

baby you are on a ROLL!!

How does it feel to be so wrong, so much?
