DEI and CRT are Institutionalized racism. The left labels something else Institutionalized racism, then they go and do exactly that. But the term is already used for something, so it how can it possibly be what they are pushing.. Does anyone remember Barack Obama’s comment he made “in order to bring a group of people up, you must bring another down”. ? And guilt ridden white people fall for the garbage. When he makes seemingly off-handed comments, put on your seat belt. It’s what’s happening now. He made another comment how he would love to be a person behind the scenes pulling strings…. Hmmm.

Loved this article – at our founding and going forward we were a nation of “overcomers” – overcoming adversity, setbacks, circumstances – that was the American dream – it was why people came here – they came to have the freedom and the opportunity to rise above life’s obstacles and challenges and with hard work and merit achieve success. We were the opposite of the caste system in India, for example, there your identity at birth sealed your lot in life. It was not up to the individual to make what he would of his God given life. But in a free meritocracy everyone can pursue their dreams and abilities. We rooted for the underdog. We loved “rags to riches” stories of people that achieved their goals through perseverance and hard work, succeeding against all odds. Those were the people we revered and honored.
So why now does our culture hold up victims as the ones we should esteem somehow? The status seems to be – who is the most oppressed? With victimhood comes blame, so no one is ever responsible for their own actions or their subsequent lot in life. The biographies of old were always of overcomers, those who had made something of their lives despite obstacles and difficulties – look at Wilma Rudolf or Harriet Tubman or Dr. Carol Swain today. The world is full of success stories but we are force fed the stories of the “glorified” oppressed twenty-four/seven. No wonder our young people only have victims for role models which leads to entitlement, self-centeredness and lack of growth. Our country exists because some were selfless and had a vision of a better life for ALL people.
The question from this article that we each must answer – “Who are you?” is indeed pivotal for each of us individually and consequently for society. The answer? We are God’s workmanship, created in His image, His dearly loved children. The answer? is found in Romans 8 – “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.” We are told that Christ is at the right hand of God interceding for us and that nothing shall separate us from His love! We are His image bearers. We are intended to live victorious lives through Christ. We were designed to be overcomers not victims! “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.” (Philippians 4:13) Thank You Lord for this wonderful truth! http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com (post – the God of DEI)

What a shame and a waste of humanity. Until excellence, competence, individual success, and morality return, we will continue to see this absurd behavior. God and civilization requires the best of us. Each of us has a unique “best”. We’re not guaranteed anything and we’re not all going to receive equal results. God grants each of us gifts and they are unique to each individual. We must earn our own success otherwise we can’t own it.

Racism is a matter of the heart. Jesus is Lord of our hearts or He’s not. Praise God that He’s interested in our children and will remove all who stand in the way of their well-being. It’s best to pray His enemies be saved or removed from any influence bringing discord and division. They would be better off if a millstone were tied around their neck and thru be thrown into the deepest sea. Do them a favor as they may come to salvation if tossed out of office.

Gay sadly sums up the epitome of racism. Her achievements, built on falsehoods & lies, stem from the attitude that it’s okay to “use the system” to advance in life – with no consequences for lies or plagiarism, etc. Harvard says they want to set an example of leadership for our nation. I suggest they start with honesty, integrity & real vetting of who they hire. And leave behind D.E.I.. And I highly recommend they fire half their instructors.
