Word salad – “Word salad” refers to a jumble of incoherent, seemingly random words and phrases that lack logical meaning, often a symptom of severe mental disorders like schizophrenia, but also used for confusing, manipulative speech by narcissists or as a metaphor for nonsensical writing. It’s essentially a breakdown in coherent thought or communication, where words are strung together without sense, making it unintelligible to the listener.
The title, minus the first part of this article, is how a person justifies Civil Rights legislation, which was designed to level the playing field for people who had been denied those rights for hundreds of years.
I am still not sure what “Woke” means, but if it means that you talk in a manner that will make over 90% of Americans think you are full of yourself and want to show them how stupid they are. Translated, let us give the Blacks, the Browns, and Women a chance to get jobs they are qualified for but not hired because they are not privileged White men.
Poor white men, should we throw them a pity party?
A year into President Donald Trump’s second term, the federal government is flipping the logic of civil rights on its head, using the language of nondiscrimination to destroy the legal structures that themselves aim to prevent discrimination.
Early in Trump’s second term, he moved to end federal diversity, equity and inclusion measures, popularly referred to as “DEI” programs. While DEI programs found themselves the topic of conservative ire in the 2020s, especially after the summer of 2020, the programs go back decades.
While diversity programs have gone by a variety of names over the decades — nondiscrimination, affirmative action, DEI — they all trace their roots to the Civil Rights Movement, which lasted from 1954 to 1968. Now the Trump administration is ending those policies, claiming that they violate civil rights legislation.
Where were all the whinying white men when things like that below were happening?
