Shock Study: DEI Training Teaches People to Find Racism Where There Is None, Increases Hostility Between the Races
In other words, it's working precisely as it's intended to.
You don't say. You don't say.
New study finds DEI initiatives creating 'hostile attribution bias'
Using materials from within the DEI movement, the study measured 'explicit bias' By Jasmine Baehr
Fox News
New research from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University reveals that some diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training methods may cause psychological harm. The study, released on Monday, shows significant increases in hostility and punitive attitudes among participants exposed to DEI pedagogy covering subjects like race, religion and caste. This hostile attribution bias may contribute to increased intergroup hostility and authoritarian behavior in the long run, according to study co-author and NCRI Chief Science Officer Joel Finkelstein. "What we did was we took a lot of these ideas that were found to still be very prominent in a lot of these DEI lectures and interventions and training," said Finkelstein in an interview with Fox News Digital. "And we said, 'Well, how is this going to affect people?' What we found is that when people are exposed to this ideology, what happens is they become hostile without any indication that anything racist has happened." ... As DEI programs have become a major area of investment in recent years, their actual effectiveness remains a topic of debate, with NCRI's study suggesting they may exacerbate tensions rather than alleviate them. The study measured "explicit bias, social distancing, demonization, and authoritarian tendencies" with both the DEI materials and control materials. Their study included sharing anti-racist DEI materials from thought leaders like Ibram X. Kendi and "White Fragility" author Robin DiAngelo with participants involved. Specifically, the NCRI focused on materials which emphasized awareness of and opposition to "systemic oppression," popularized by texts such as Kendi's "How to Be an Antiracist." Those exposed to anti-racist materials were linked to heightened perceptions of racial bias in the study. Participants were also more likely to support punitive measures against perceived offenders of so-called "microaggressions," even in the absence of evidence.
"And when people are supposed to see anti-racist material in the ideology, it looks like what happens is that they become more likely to punish for any evidence of wrongdoing," said Finkelstein. "That includes protesting people, calling for dismissal, demanding public apologies, receiving people calling for their relocation. These punitive measures are, in some cases, costing people their jobs."Wow. Five years into this vicious racist madness and academics are finally actually looking into it. Take your time, though, "Experts." Take your time.
I'm learning so much of what I already knew. Here comes a big shock:
These results suggest that anti-Islamophobia training inspired by ISPU materials may cause individuals to assume unfair treent of Muslim people, even when no evidence of bias or unfairness is present. This effect highlights a broader issue: DEI narratives that focus heavily on victimization and systemic oppression can foster unwarranted distrust and suspicions of institutions and alter subjective assessments of events.
One key takeaway from Finkelstein in the NCRI study is that the authoritarianism that comes from hostile attribution bias looks different in the 21st century.You don't say? Really?
According to Finkelstein, those who are likely to carry hostilities are "people who are higher in what's called left-wing authoritarianism. This is now a steady phenomenon. We the people have been studying right-wing authoritarianism since World War II. It's really only in the past 10 or 15 years that people have started saying, 'Wait a minute, this is on the left, too."
... When reached for comment, Kendi slammed both Fox News and the study, calling it "pseudoscience."As opposed to Henry "Ibram Kendi" Rogers' true racist science. The report says that when people were exposed to Robin D'Angelo's and Henry Rogers' racially-incendiary claims, they were much, much more likely to claim that they were experiencing "microaggressions" based on nothing at all. They compared groups primed by reading these "anti-racist" books to normal, uninfected people. The uninfected people were chill. The "anti-racist" people saw racism everywhere, claimed non-violent people were committing "literal violence," and assumed that anyone evaluating them must be white. (That is, they assumed that anyone whose race they could not see but held a grudge against must be white.) A little bar graph for those of you who enjoy graphs and/or bars.

So telling people are their problems are caused by a distinct racial group leads to hatred of them?
If only we had pretty much all of human history to look at to show this has been proven over and over again

I've noticed my employer is backing off on this craziness. A couple of years ago they were holding some kind of training sessions (via Zoom, as this was during the Sniffle Scare) that were not mandatory -- but "It is expected that they will eventually be required of all staff." Now we just get emails about the DIE programs that already exist.
I was hoping to hold off on going to even a single one until they forced me, and I thought maybe by then I'd be retired. Looks like its half-life was shorter than they thought -- at least here.

OT, missed that thread, but I must be missing something. Local/state government harboring illegal aliens, in any way, is in no way a "political dispute". Their active obstruction of unambiguous federal law and authority is lawlessness, defined.
And to compare this to the political persecution through abuse of law enforcement authority used against Trump and others, um, wow. Those abuses likely literally involved law-breaking, but clearly were based on misuse of authority for political purposes.

I read White Fragility in early COVID days.
I don't know how anyone could read that book and not say "this is a recipe for disaster."
The tl;dr is all white people benefit from a system intentionally designed to benefit white people (mostly men) at the expense of everyone else. And the only way to fix the system is to loudly proclaim that you're benefiting from a racist system and to "give POC space to give their perspective."
Which in practice is a life long struggle session that you can never get out of (as a white person) and a life long dislike / hatred of white people / "the system" for non white people.
Doesn't sound like a recipe for good race relations. Also, let's important millions of more non-whites as immigrants and teach them the same stuff. That'll make them love America and assimilate.

Nice to see this vile totalitarian racist sewage being flushed out, but the people who are behind it, those who actually believe it, and those who tolerated it for more than 15 seconds are still anchors around our lives and society. A true character reveal for the country.
Oh, and we'll not even speak of the comical lawlessness of all this crude racist and other persecution and discrimination under US law (even the laws that *should* exist).

No, it was the freaking lie ‘D.E.I. increases the company bottom line.’
IIRC they just cherry picked companies that were already succeeding because of regulatory capture and claimed the "
benefit" was DEI instead of...regulatory capture.

Someone here at the HQ says something to the effect that the purpose of an action is the thing that the action accomplishes. Their phrasing was pithier than this.
"The purpose of a system is what it does" is the version I see a lot. Applies well here.

I will believe that DEI has finally lost when the "Department of Society, Culture, and Justice" changes its name back to "Sociology and Anthropology".
Which I'm going to assume were too difficult for the incoming freshmen to pronounce.
In other news, the state board of education told state colleges to get rid of any office, policy, procedure, or initiative dedicated to Diversity, Equity, or Inclusion.
The university is slow-walking action on this in order to protect a bunch of people's phony-baloney racist jobs, of course.

But really, I don't want to shoot people because of their skin color, and I don't want myself or others I love shot for the same reason.
That's what it comes down to; your skin color is your uniform, and there's plenty of proof that a low level race war already exists at street level, where "aggrieved" youth feel impunity when striking at an "oppressor".
It's going to take a long time to get back to the scabbed over wound era that existed before Obama.

In a slightly more ideal world, companies that deploy DIE should be automatically subject to Hostile Work Environment suits. It's not going to stop until employers are scared pissless of lawsuits.
Further, I think there could be an additional claim of Religious Test violations. DIE as an extension of neo-marxism is a quasi-religious movement, aka cult. The original literature speaks in terms that popped up in the 70s/'80 spiritual, new age nonsense. "Woke" is a new age term.

Corporate HR run through hoops when they have to fire a POC whereas a white guy is fired based on the one two step in the employee manual.
Step one: warning
Step two: fired
My HR attorneys spent weeks researching one of my POC employees who wrote claim checks to his friends. Finally they conceded there was enough evidence and dismissed him. Refused to involve law enforcement to get restitution and I was not allowed to disclose that he was fired for cause if a potential employer called for a check.

Which is why every sane countries immigration policies focuses on DECREASING "diversity" by heavily encouraging people to assimilate to the dominant culture and leave their "old world" ways behind.
Strangely, the US and recently much of Europe, have decided to go in a different direction when it comes to immigration and assimilation in recent years.

I mentioned this somewhere else: I, actually, think the term of Islamophobia can actually be pursued as liable. Initially, it was "name calling" and generalization. But, as world governments (ours include) and the UN worked the term into legislation, edicts and plans, it gave the accusation stature. And, what is Islamophobia?
Well, A “phobia” is defined within the medical community as: an anxiety disorder, defined by an irrational, unrealistic, persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation.
So, when a media representative, a "community organizer" or even a private individual label you as an Islamophobe, they are saying that you possess a medical anxiety disorder. They better be able to back that up if they make that statement online, in the media or in other established public places. Because if they can't we've moved into the realm of Libel. By legitimizing the term, they made it's use potentially actionable.

Definition of equity - The value of the shares issued by a company. "He owns 62% of the group's equity"
Now, equity means, per NACE: "fairness and justice

Fascism and communism are just slightly different flavors of socialism and socialism is always authoritarian and totalitarian.
Posted by: Jukin the Deplorable a Clear and Present Danger
It starts out with artificial ideas about what is "fair" to people, the haves versus the "have nots". The "haves" have too much stuff, money, and power, which is what the "have nots" want.
So when people start resisting what others think is fair (gimme your stuff and money!), then that's when the shooting starts. Or guillotines. Or gas chambers. Or mass deportations to concentration camps.
It always ends this way.
You can vote yourself into socialism, but you usually have to shoot your way out. Milei in Argentina may prove the exception.

Didn't start with the affirmative action intern "president". And won't end with the overdue elimination of this vile official racist indoctrination. Because the racial disability in such a large number of people in certain "communities" is as entrenched as ever. Racial disability = actual racism, narcissistic victim disorder, ignorance, envy, all groomed and stoked and fed by "education" pop culture and society in general for generations. And of course enabled by the still jaw-dropping phenomenon of suburban "educated" "white guilt", easily 50 years after anything like it should have withered away.

Millions and millions spend on the DEI scam. Nothing to show for it except making things worse. Glad it will get gutted at the federal level at least during Trump's second term. No more paying the grifters to host struggle sessions during work hours.

105 DEI was never about equity or equitable outcomes. It was about giving unqualified minorities positions and pay they did not deserve to punish white America for our sins. It was just another form of reparations.

This is literally the definition of faith --
Hebrews 11:1 -- "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."
These institutions are forcing their religious faith on government and all of us, which is a clear violation of the First Amendment.

I think I shared before that I did DEI training at work, and the facilitator/grifter they hired to run the session actually had a Clarence Thomas quote in her slides.
She mocked him. He was clearly, in the quote, making the point of, what is discrimination? But she used it to imply by him asking the question, he clearly didn't know and must be stupid. (She was black, I think she felt that gave her a pass to mock him.)
Then later on, she said conservatives are welcome to express opinions, everyone is welcome, we need diverse thoughts too. Nuh uh. Not falling for that when you willingly mock one of the greatest conservative minds of our era. A man whose life experience and harships would make her quake in her shoes with rage had she experienced it.
My employer terminated DEI training. Finally. I learned a lot during it. But NOT the lessons they wanted.

He caught shit from the other blacks for hanging out with me. The blacks didn't like me either. One came up to me one time and said that the only reason Craig, my roommate, hung out with me was because it was easier for him to get white women.
I thought it was kind of funny. I asked him about it later and he said it was true. Then we went and had some beers.

Newsbreak, FACT Check, Did the Pentagon Allocate $86 Billion Dollars For DEI Initiatives?
By Anthony Pascone, 4 days ago
...
“The Pentagon is worried that Pete Hegseth will immediately cut off funding for the nearly $86 billion the Pentagon has spent on DEI initiatives. This sounds great,” the post reads. “START NOW!”
The post in question is misleading, though. The Pentagon has only spent $86.5 million on DEI programs, not billion. In 2023, the Pentagon asked for $114 million in new DEI incentives following a failed audit, ABC33 reported at the time.
The Pentagon has earmarked $162 million for DEI initiatives for 2025. While Hegseth has not publicly announced any cuts to the Pentagon’s budget, experts believe that one of the changes that will be implemented will be a significant reduction in these incentives, according to The Washington Examiner."

It starts out with artificial ideas about what is "fair" to people, the haves versus the "have nots". The "haves" have too much stuff, money, and power, which is what the "have nots" want.
I was reading an MSN listicle on "The surprising things people found out when becoming rich"
About 2/3 of the 25 entries were people complaining that the OTHER rich people they knew were lazy and shouldn't be allowed to have all that money.
It was 100% my experience talking with wealthy lefty LIVs talking about the need to tax the rich. No, not THEM, the rich people that didn't deserve it.

I can only speak from personal experience that DEI is poisonous in the workplace. I have been retired only a couple of years but this had been happening even then. I worked in a university.
The sensitivity training was so anti-white that I cringed at what we were being asked to believe. What was horrifying was finding my black co-workers agreed with it. These were people who had the same working conditions and pay as I did yet we were asked to think of their disadvantage due to their race.
All it did is make me resentful.

I recall reading about a study where a group of people got 1,000 and a few got 5,000. The people in charge asked the people that got 1,000, if they'd be willing to give some of their money back to take all the money from the people that got 5,000. They not only gave back their money, they were willing to actually pay more out of their own pocket to ensure the 5,000 got taken away from the smaller group.
Envy is a strong emotion.

What sets me off is Pfizer ads for Paxlovid. What a deal, you produce a 'vaccine' that seems to merely extend a virus, then produce a 'treatment' for it. Sweet deal.

It's really only in the past 10 or 15 years that people have started saying, 'Wait a minute, this is on the left, too."
Their total naivete and lack of interest in self-reflection is growing tiresome at this point.
They can start correcting that willful blindness by stopping these totally incorrect notions of "far left" and "far right" as Socialists vs. Fascists.
The actual political-economic spectrum ranges from Anarchism to Totalitarianism. All forms of socialism, including fascism, fall on the right side of that scale.
America's liberal, democratic, republican form of government falls on the center-left of that scale.
Once they rearrange those basics in their minds, maybe then we can get somewhere.
Not holding my breath.

I like Charlie Kirk's approach of discussing why Orientals and Hispanics had terrible experiences in the U.S. and are the wealthiest and most upwardly mobile groups of any, with family stability a key component.
Spoiler alert: Systemic racism was LBJ and other D laws/programs to intentionally destroy black fathers and families.
It's going to begin getting through at some point.

My HR attorneys spent weeks researching one of my POC employees who wrote claim checks to his friends. Finally they conceded there was enough evidence and dismissed him. Refused to involve law enforcement to get restitution and I was not allowed to disclose that he was fired for cause if a potential employer called for a check.
Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth
Never, ever give a reference. Send it to HR to do - there is a fine line where you can get slammed with a lawsuit, or from the other end, you did not disclose relevant information. There is always the potential of neutrality language in a severance agreement that typically is cheaper than a lawsuit as frustrating as that might feel. HR and legal have made this tightrope walk, let them walk it. Most people know, but you may not, I have been a global HR Exec for 2 very, very large companies.
In your case, as you outline it, I would have gone to the mat and filed theft charges. That isn’t one of those you just say oh well, unless the dollar figure is nominal.

Prioritizing each dimension based on employees’ individualized needs can lead to a healthier and more positive lifestyle and state of mind. While Federal EAPs can include a variety of resources, supports, trainings, and services for individuals, managers, and agencies, the services outlined below should be standard in any Federal EAP.
Cultural Competency Services:
Cultural competency services are designed to increase the ability of individuals to understand and respect values, attitudes, and beliefs which may differ from one’s own views or culture and can be instrumental in supporting and fostering diverse workplaces and healthy interactions. These services should include resources and supports for underserved communities...

The Acolytes can never acknowledge it even if they're aware, but the goal of their programmers, the Adepts, is to destroy every facet of society in order to usher in a fascist superstate.

It also makes black people (and other minorities) paranoid.
I remember Obama talking about the racism he experienced "people have lock their car doors when I walked by" and "people wouldn't hold the elevator for me"
Which are things the vast majority of people have experienced. But if you believe from a young age that everything has a racial angle, I can see how you would take a bunch of small "micro aggressions" that were probably in no way related to you at all, much less your race, and build a narrative in your mind.
And as a white person, I can't question it, because I need to shut up and listen to other peoples experiences (according to DEI theory).

Was looking at a board at the kids lib where kids can write on a cutout turkey or something what they are tankful for
Some cute stuff, including a drawing of a cat (?).
A grade school age girl added her turkey. Her mom asked what did you write?
Kid(proudly) "Diversity!"
So much praise from the mom and the librarian

I used to write subversive essays for Brotherhood week in highschool. The teacher liked them, posslbly just because they weren't the same old stuff.

In happier news, the Civilian Marksmanship Program will be having a Black Friday sale, with 10% off ammo.
Yes, my friends, nothing like buying ammo from the US gov't on discount. Also rifles and 1911s.
Hopefully DOGE will expand the CMP to provide affordable AR-15s for all Americans!

10 years ago I was required to attend a day-long Diversity class at a FedGov Agency. My take-aways from that class were:
1. Wondering what I had done wrong all my life. I didn't feel I had wronged everyone I encountered who wasn't white and male.
2. Questioning how someone 'diverse', in other words, not pale, male, and with a Christiam upbringing, could improve my Agency's high-tech hardware work. Improve our work that is grounded in math and physics, simply because they were female, or had a non-white skin color, or a non-Christian religious upbringing, or grew-up in a non-white urban or suburban environment, or ate much different food than I did, or wore strange clothing, or spoke with an accent. What 'new and better ideas' could they offer in designing a space mechanism simply because they had one or more of of those 'diverse' characteristics. I'm still wondering how that is supposed to be.
DEI is a sledgehammer against "white US Culture," wielded by people who resent white US Culture. IMHO.

Yeah. These kinds of things happen every day to every person.
In the BLM era, I remember liberal white news anchors talking about how sad it was that black parents had to have "the talk" with their kids about how to interact with the police.
Like yeah, my parents had that talk with me too. Some variation of "roll down the windows, hand on the steering wheel, don't admit anything, don't argue, say 'yes sir' and 'no sir' and you can argue about it in court."
But I think a lot of black people truly believe that white people get away with whatever they want and cops are nice to them. We don't, and a lot of times, they're not.
But that belief fucks with black people. Because instead of following the basic etiquette, they think the cop is going to shoot them, so they run or do something stupid and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Used to be rare. Maybe Excedrin or Bayer pain relief or hemorrhoid ointment. But now? Countless ads on myriad - and very expensive - products. It's kind of alarming. Maybe we need to clone RFKj.

The ask questions like "do you cross the street whe you see a black man coming towards you? So you avoid a Hispanic male when you are in the parking lot at night? You're racist!"
I don't care if you are a purple hippo. You come towards me late at night when I'm alone on a street, I'm crossing the street. I'm a woman, I avoid men at night, PERIOD. They teach women situational awareness, to see potential trouble coming, and then when we do we get accused of racism.
(I see Obama coming towards me at night... I cross the street, and then check my pocket to see if he also somehow lifted my wallet. But it's a dem thing not a race thing. And if I see Hunter or Biden, I run.)

CDC survey was legit.
Bunch of questions about the have you gotten covid, RSV or flu vax; will you take; how safe do you think they are.
Seemed like they're pushing to take the RSV vax.
Then these dozies:
"What sex were you assigned at birth, on your original birth certificate?"
"How do you currently describe yourself"
DIE question, in the last 2 years, you feel you got better or worse health care than other races?

No.
Pharma ads are primarily about two things -- 1) to check a box for "informed consent" on the side effects of a drug and 2) to buy off the media so they don't run negative stories about big pharma and to get favorable coverage from the media.
1) hasn't changed in recent years.
So I imagine the primary driver of more pharma ads is 2)

Aw, c'mon. I'm offended by the study. Any amount of money was too much for this.
You have an entire industry that's based on telling people that one race is responsible for all the evil in the world, and that all other races are victims of that evil race.
We're not talking about good old fashioned bigotry of the "no dogs or Irish" variety. We're talking about the new & improved Nazi-style racism. The nascent stage of the eliminationist final form.
And we need to study to learn that this kind of vicious racial demonization, systematically propagated through every large institution in the country, has made people more racist?
Go fuckin' figure. Thank the Lord for whatever mega-brained boffins came up with that probing question.

We've fallen a loooong way from the days of Archie Bunker and George Jefferson. Two sides of the same coin that helped to show us that we could (and should) laugh at bigotry and ignorance while still seeing them as human and having more than a little in common with the "common man." We almost closed the book on overt and foul racism...
Way back when I was a yoot in highskrewel — probably 1980-ish, I was at a lunch table where some girl classroom acquaintance blurted out during one of the wide-ranging discussions we had the she "hated Puerto Ricans." Then she looked over at me and said, "But you're ok." I just laughed. It was her damage to deal with, not mine. Still is. It was a great "Archie Bunker-type" moment.
I would pretty much laugh in the face of anyone who called me a racist, and say "It takes one to know one."

That's the long and the short of it right now. RFKJr mentioned that Roger Ailes was sympathetic to something he wanted to run about childhood vaccine safety or something like that. Ailes was sympathetic, but told him that if they ran that story, he'd get a call in 5 minutes and would have to fire everyone involved, including himself.

I watch a lot of cop body cam / dash cam videos. It's shocking how quickly some people (especially minorities) escalate situations with the police.
Instead of being tazed and spending the night in jail, did it ever occur to you to just accept the ticket for having a taillight out? Then going to court and telling the judge you fixed it and getting off with no / low fine? I know its annoying, trust me.
But isn't that preferable to spending a night or more in jail?

There are not enough competent DEI hires to go around ... (while maintaining adequate standards). The solution is obviously to ignore standards, and jam through the incompetence.
Now true, those with greatest arrogance (and greatest incompetence) while rise to the forefront, demanding the "white supremacists yield to their "superior race or sexual deviance, diversity superiority".
Because "Diversity is Our Strength" is a well proven maxim, and if you disagree, You are the White Supremacist Hater my college profs warned me about.

It's kind of a zombie department. Originally created when the two service departments (War and Navy) didn't have much in the way of organized medical services. I interviewed a doctor during the Deepwater Horizon Oil spill. They stood out because they were still wearing Woodland pattern uniforms, which they used because they had no budget, and there were lots still in federal inventory. They were basically a sort of wartime hospital system in waiting and did gigs like the other services, doing health screenings and stuff.

Jordan had a similar thing when he heard a pretty good defender and a turned ankle and wasn't playing. He asked who was guarding him and after getting the name just laughed and said "50". He got 50.

I am against DEI initiatives in nearly all respects, and I would love a study that comes along and proves that they cause harm. Unfortunately this study doesn't do that. It only shows that, well, training works.
If you take an online course about the local birds in your area, you will most certainly be able to name more birds when you go outside. And if one of the birds it shows you is an airplane and it provides a legit bird name, if you didn't know any better you would learn that too. And a study would show that the training worked.
So in this case, it's saying people were trained to see "micro aggressions " (eye roll) and behold, they now see them. It doesn't really get to the real matter, whether this is a real thing or not.

Usually but no always female. Most of them last about 6 to 8 months, because there is little if anything for them to do besides hold the yearly in-person harangue they are required to deliver to all of us to tell us how awful we are.

Yeah, who woulda thought that dividing people up by race, the accusing ONE race of something evil... would cause problems?
Especially when you are accusing the one Race that has freed more people, than any other race.... Hell.. the Race that pretty much decided that racism is a bad thing.
Who could have predicted that some would get angry about falsely being accused of something because of your skin color.
The Commandment is 'Thou shall not bear false witness'... which is exactly what DIE does.
