Our country has a long-standing history of discriminating against anyone who is not a white man.
White men owned slaves until the 13th Amendment was passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865. The first African-American man to vote was on March 31, 1870, one day after the ratification of the 15th Amendment. This was mere months after the first white woman was allowed the right to vote in Wyoming in 1869. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 outlawed segregation beginning on July 2, 1964. The first DEI policy was created in September 1965 by Executive Order.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination based on “race, color, religion, sex, or national origin”.
The entire purpose of DEI is to “hire without regard to race, religion, and national origin” and to “take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, color, religion, sex or national origin.”
Ensuring that all people have the same rights, liberties, and opportunities is a threat to no one. Yet, we continue to hear from our own government that white men are being penalized. How are you being penalized when you have truly been the only segment of our society that has never been marginalized, has never been discriminated against, has never had laws written to stop you from being employed, or keeping you from receiving healthcare, or treated you like a criminal for existing?
The state of Florida has now entered into the conversation of “Make America White Again” and is choosing to protect the white man at all costs. Our own Attorney General is behind this. Follow the link to read his letter as to why he feels that it is justified to start to roll back anti-discrimination policies in our state. The continued conversation in the media by both elected and appointed officials that white men are victims is both laughable and disgusting.
