254. Jackie Robinson WAS a DEI hire! We must take our language back from the republicans
from The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo · host Dr. Omekongo Dibinga
The republicans and conservatives have turned the term "DEI" into a slur. Now I am daily hearing that something "isn't DEI but" from people in liberal/progressive spaces. Part of taking the country back is taking the language back that we created and is being used against us. Hosts and commentators on @msnbc and other spaces must do a better job in calling this out. #mikebarnicle #maragay #msnbc #joescarborough #dei #deihire #diversityequityinclusion #diversityandinclusion #jackierobinson STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com Learn more about your ad choices.
