- Mathematician and political
commentator Dr. James Lindsay
refers to the current
manifestation of critical theory
as the "diversity, inclusion,
and equity industry" or D.I.E.
Which is a coordinated campaign to infuse
these Marxist ideas
into our media, schools,
governments, and workplaces
through written work, well
designed social media graphics,
workplace seminars,
and diversity training.
To most of us, diversity means
having different identities
and points of view represented.
Critical theory says
diversity means people
with diverse ethnic origins who also share
the same woke political
understanding of power dynamics
and social positions.
This is why according
to Nikole Hannah Jones
of the New York Times 1619 project.
Even if you're racially black
you aren't authentically
black unless you speak
and believe in terms of blackness,
which is a radical political mindset.
If you don't, you're suffering
from internalized racism,
hence ostracism of black conservatives
like Condoleezza Rice and Kanye West,
being called race traitors,
or even worse, Uncle Toms.
To most of us equity and equality
mean about the same thing,
we all believe in equality.
Equality means arranging
the system so that citizens
are all treated equally, in other words,
equality of opportunity.
But to critical theorists,
equity means adjusting shares
so that the outcomes are made equal
from one citizen to another.
It arises from what is known
as social equity theory
and it means engineering
equality of outcome.
Critical theorists identify
any disparity in outcome
that comes out on average in the negative
for protected classes as
the result of bigotry.
Critical theory's definition
of the word inclusion
is the most insidious of
all, because for all of us,
it means welcoming all people and ideas.
But for the woke left, inclusion means
not excluding protected
classes and their authentic
or woke voices.
In other words, it means
limiting speech to that
which agrees with critical theory up to
and even including physically
excluding those who dissent
and those who represent
dominant identity groups,
even by association.
We see this with college students
demanding black-only spaces.
- There are just too
many white people in here
and this is a space for people of color.
- Lest the presence of
dominant group members
make them uncomfortable.
Ironically, excluding
while touting inclusion.
