"THE NEED for diversity" stigmatizes blacks as needy victims, not that much different from the old days when segregation stigmatized blacks as inferiors

"Diversity" is just the manufacture of a problem for whites to solve in order to establish their innocence of racism (1/3) https://twitter.com/cnnbrk/status/1272965382714855424
IF A black person supports affirmative action in the name of "diversity" he opens himself to the charge that anything he has was given because of his skin color

If a black person rejects affirmative action, demanding to be judged on merit alone, he is labelled a sell out (2/3)
AND so affirmative action allows white people to say how much they care about black lives, all the while placing black lives in a double bind

And so nothing changes. Black people are again a means to a white end
