New York Times explains why some companies are moving from Diversity and Inclusion to 'Belonging'

As Twitchy reported earlier, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis chalked up another win by signing into law that would do away with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) departments at Florida State Universities, including New College. This is a huge win for conservatives.

If you work for a corporation, you perhaps have attended some sort of DEI seminar in which you fill out privilege maps and learn about how “whiteness” underpins all of American society. The New York Times has noticed that some DEI programs are branching out and including “Belonging” in their mission statements.

Traditional DEI strategies haven’t worked out as planned? Well, they were meant to sow racial division, and they’ve done that pretty well.

The New York Times reports:

Interest in creating more inclusive workplaces exploded after George Floyd’s murder in 2020. Many corporations turned their attention to addressing systemic racism and power imbalances — the things that had kept boardrooms white and employees of color feeling excluded from office life.

Now, nearly three years since that moment, some companies are amending their approach to D.E.I., even renaming their departments to include “belonging.” It’s the age of D.E.I.-B.

Some critics worry it’s about making white people comfortable rather than addressing systemic inequality, or that it simply allows companies to prioritize getting along over necessary change.

“Belonging is a way to help people who aren’t marginalized feel like they’re part of the conversation,” said Stephanie Creary, assistant professor of management at the Wharton School of Business who studies corporate strategies for diversity and inclusion.

She believes an abstract focus on belonging allows companies to avoid the tough conversations about power — and the resistance those conversations often generate. “The concern is that we are just creating new terms like belonging as a way to manage that resistance,” Ms. Creary said.

So now companies are hiring consultants who specialize in “belonging” and “bridge building,” since the current DEI training has only led to resentment and more division.

It’s a scam that’s made people like Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X. Kendi rich and done nothing of any actual value.

Exactly … what else are these race and gender studies graduates supposed to do with their degrees?

Even straight white males can get on board with “belonging.”

It’s too late it came so late in his administration, but President Donald Trump had made it his mission to root out DEI training from government agencies, who happily hand over taxpayer money to these consultants.
