Who benefits from DEI? No doubt about it, DEI is not Black preferential occupational treatment. In fact, DEI is simply a suggestion aimed at reducing workplace occupational discrimination. Affirmative Action Programs benefitted White women, not Blacks and other minorities. Hence, Black women are less likely to have access to professional support and advocacy than are White women. Therefore, White women have benefitted disproportionately more from Corporate DEI Programs than Black women. Nineteen percent for White women and (4%) overall for Blacks. If the absolute truth be told White women and the LGBTQ community were primarily the socio-economic benefactors of DEI, not Blacks. For Example, a 2019 report from a global non- profit think tank found that Black professionals face more prejudice and discrimination than other ethnic groups.
The spiritual socio-economic question is WHY? The socioeconomic tension and racial conflict in American society is primarily between Blacks and Whites because of slavery and institutional racism. This is why Blacks are less likely than their racial counter- parts to have access to senior level administrative positions. Thus, the racial tension and conflict in American society is primarily between Whites and Blacks, other non-White minorities tend to seek avoidance by hiding in the shadows. Systematic institutionalized racism is real in American society, especially in the corporate workplace. Discrimination in corporate hiring and promotion processes is the glaring example that corporations will hire but not promote and retain Black employees. Therefore, DEI aims to address disparities faced by Black and minority groups but can sometimes be perceived differently depend- ing on individual perspectives.
President Trump does not have DEI hires in his administration. He has unqualified White cabinet officials and one token Black nominee for the secretary of HUD. In three weeks in the White House, Trump has produced a shock and awe devilish governing style, based primarily upon analysis of paralysis. Hence, public service ethics is a spiritual-moral concept that is foreign to the Trump MA- GA-Cult. However, a change is going to come, because God knows how to fight devilish power, and: “The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 15: 56-57). America, God can turn the devil’s victory into defeat. Unfortunately, the law sometimes conflicts with our religious beliefs, leading to disobedience due to a lack of spiritual understanding. Christian Right Evangelicals and the MAGA-Cult are classic examples.
