Excellent article from Kevin Williamson:

No matter what language you use to describe your identity and community. No matter what you perceive your personal or professional influence in society. No matter your lived experience of privilege and/or oppression. No matter the level of interest you normally have on understanding prejudice and discrimination… I ask my entire LinkedIn Network to take time to read, understand and reflect on this report. Together, we can do more to improve equity and become anti-racist!

The language of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) is crucially important for us as Americans. Privilege carries responsibility. It’s lazy to say that bad actors turned DEI into a joke. Do better. Are you worried that DEI will result in one group being targeted as “bad”? That’s understandable, but a quality diversity program never falls into that trap. Experts know that all groups have elites and scapegoats. They recognize that bigotry and dehumanization occur both within groups and across them. Is it scary that DEI elevates marginalized voices? If you remove paid troublemakers (foreign cash and political weaponization) from the picture, what’s left is basic human decency. Our blessings in this world come from God. We serve Him by doing what is right.

I hope everyone has a mindful and happy Juneteenth! Dr. Opal Lee's story is a beautiful reminder of how our voices are our super power. Today we celebrate freedom and, most importantly, the reminder that none of us are free unless all of us are free. Celebrate and recharge for the work that must be done to further equity and justice. https://lnkd.in/eeR9PZiq
