In the Most Diverse Nation in the World, DEI is the Right Thing to Do

Why is Trump determined to crush any efforts to implement a policy of DEI in American business? Simple. He is a Nazi and the leader of the white supremacist movement in America. He was raised to believe that whites were the persecuted race and men and women of color were attempting to take control of our nation.

Trump’s idols are the worst men in history, including Adolf Hitler, Vladimir Putin, and the Cown Prince of Saudi Arabia; Mohammad bin Salman. He studied Hitler’s speeches every night.

It is true that none of this can be proven. However, several individuals claimed that Trump’s father, “Fred Trump,” attended KKK rallies. What is undeniable fact involves Fred Trump’s real estate empire.

Rental agents employed by Trump’s apartments were instructed to place a large red “C” at the top of any applications submitted by men and women of color. Trump worked for his father in these buildings after he received his diploma, obviously purchased by his father, from Wharton Business College. Trump lacks the integrity, intellect, and class of an Ivy League graduate.

Another fact involves Trump’s many court appearances when he was sued by contractors who worked on his New York buildings. Most of the companies suing the fake real estate mogul were Hispanic.

Trump’s obsession with his doomed to fail “wall,” adds to the fact that he is our nation’s biggest racist.

Few Americans understand DEI. Most have no idea what the three letters stand for. It’s simple: Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion. If you don’t believe in these considerations, you reject the First Amendment and the rights it guarantees to all Americans.

Allow me to offer you and example of the importance of ensuring all Americans are treated fairly.

Owners of NFL franchises are mostly racist. These billionaires failed to interview and consider Black head coaches and other coaching jobs including offensive and defensive coordinators.

[The Rooney Rule is an NFL policy that requires teams to interview at least one minority and/or female candidate for certain positions. The rule was established in 2003 to increase the number of minorities in coaching and executive roles. It's named after Dan Rooney, the late owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers.]

Only racists deny the fact that America’s diversity makes us not only unique, but a better country. I have been fortunate to have known and become friends with Americans from all walks of life. I learned more from them about the real United States than from any book, newspaper, or magazine. I thank my mother for allowing me to leave Catholic High School when I entered my junior year. The teachers and students at Venice High School were far more capable and learned than those I had in the private sector.

DEI is not a law but a policy suggested by a real federal government. Trump’s efforts to punish businesses, colleges, and universities for adhering to this policy is pure fascism, and he must be stopped.

Only a patriotic American should be allowed to wear the label of President of the United States. By his own words and actions, Trump is not an American.
