Ep 636 | Emmitt Smith Rushes to Defend DEI at Florida After DeSantis Scores a Victory for America
from Fearless with Jason Whitlock · host Blaze Podcast Network
A law Governor Ron DeSantis signed into legislation compelled the University of Florida to ax its 13-person diversity, equity, and inclusion department. This act enraged former Gators star and NFL legend Emmitt Smith, prompting the Cowboys great to angrily release a statement condemning the move. “I’m utterly disgusted by UF’s decision and the precedent that it sets.” Who should we believe, the football player or the governor? Jason says the answer is easy. “I believe the governor. That will put me at odds with many black people.” We’ve been trained to evaluate all situations through the lens of race, not right and wrong. Emmitt Smith is black. DeSantis is white. Diversity, equity, and inclusion allegedly benefit black people. Do they? Or do they primarily convince black people that their real expertise and contribution to society is managing the mindset of white people? Jason unpacks his thoughts in today’s fire-starter. Stephen A. Smith joined former NBA star Mark Jackson’s podcast and did what he does best: cap. Jason breaks down Smith’s latest tale of how drug dealers saved his life. Plus, you live by the internet, you die by the internet, and Shannon Sharpe is paying the price for his latest display of zestiness. We want to hear from the Fearless Army!!
