    Well yes and no.

    It felt a bit shoehorned in at the end. But I see their point.

    Do you think black Trump gets elected? I’m gonna hit doubt on that one.

    I’d argue the fact that they’re white is central to why they are where they are today. They just happen to also be really really shitty people too.

      Yeah, true. It just didn’t feel like the post had anything to do with race, until that comment.

      Might have been more impactful if it started with one of the million comments these people have made about DEI along with all the firings of fully qualified people

        The post is about DEI. The first part is to get you to understand the facts without the context of DEI and the DEI comment at the end takes those facts and points them in the intended direction. It paints a quick and clear picture and gets the point across. It’s a social media post, not an essay, get over it.
