First Felon Donald Trump's DEI dog whistle: Pissed-off Black leaders get it in Florida

 
Book cover:  As seen on Facebook
Headline:  Miami Herald, 2/1/2025
As Black History Month begins, the onslaught of reversals to hard-won gains has some Black leaders in South Florida frustrated. Some consider that DEI has become a scapegoat and a way to insinuate that Black and brown people were given jobs based solely on their race, usurping a more qualified white person. Trump’s executive actions signal he is ready to dismantle civil rights policies put in place to ensure that workplaces were more reflective of the country’s diverse population. 
“There’s no need to sugarcoat it: DEI is the new n-word, and they’re using it to discredit the qualifications of people who are more qualified than individuals who have no qualifications at all,” Florida State Senator Shevrin Jones told the Miami Herald.  [emphasis added]
