DEI and Why It’s important

I was born and raised in Virginia, and when I was about 8 years old, while riding home in the car with my mom, I heard the classic redneck screaming. Sitting in the backseat behind my mom in our white Chevette, I looked out the window and saw a massive white pickup truck. As I looked up, a white man hanging out of the passenger side in a white sleeveless tee, looking unkempt and tatoo’d, glared me dead in my eyes and screamed at me, “NIGGER, NIGGER, NIGGERRRRS!” and attempted to sideswipe us off the road several times, screaming and laughing. In elementary school, I was only one out of about three other Black kids in the entire school, and as I played in the gym with my white best friend, another white girl screams across the gym at me, “ZULUUUU!!”. Another called me, “monkey”. This was not some far off time like an episode of In the Heat of the Night or some civil rights period. I am currently 47 years old, and this was mid-80s, early 90s, and derivatives of it kept repeating throughout my life anytime I’ve had to deal with white people.

Historically White People Have to Be Forced to Be Civilized

Throughout American history, white people have continued to attack, maim and kill Black people for no other reason than for being Black. So much so, that a total of six federal hate crime acts¹ and various state-level laws across 47 states were created just to keep white people to keep their hands off Black people.

DEI

Being born and raised in the South and experiencing a lifetime of racism and hate from white people, I know white niggers when I see them.
