Liberal Racism & The Plight of the MinoriTory
When you call DEI initiatives "racist," you're at the top of a long, slippery slope.

They put a friend of mine through court for years after they fired them due to their chronic illness. They filed for wrongful dismissal and wouldn't settle because they refused to sign an NDA, which prevented them from saying they even worked at Bell. They're ghouls.

Does Jivani think he would have been better off without all this? Does he think young men should pursue different passions than himself? And what did he think was so great about Frantz Fanon, whose work inspired the Black Panthers? /8

Why doesn't Jamil Jivani want young men to have the same opportunities he did?
Jivani knows first-hand the benefits of both critical race studies and equity initiatives, yet he's based his brand on a fierce opposition to them.

By Jivani's own account, without learning about Black liberation or getting financial aid, he wouldn't have made it to the Ivy League, since it was after seeing him give a presentation on Marcus Garvey and the Nation of Islam that a Yale professor told him he should apply. /7

Both Jivani and his friend JD Vance have called for the dismantling of DEI programs, but they were only able to attend Yale (and meet each other) because of them –JD Vance's education was paid for by the Yellow Ribbon program for veterans. /6
