All right, good people. So today is Tuesday, November the 18th. I cannot believe there's like only, what is it, five weekends left until like Christmas slash Kwanza season kicks off. Like, I could not believe it when I saw some of the memes floating around doing the countdown. Only four weeks, only five weeks. Like we're barreling through 20, 25. And it feels like it's been 85 years. So there's that. But let's get

into today's because apparently Nikki Minaj is going to be appearing at the UN today. And we are

learning that WEI lawyering doesn't really work. Let's dive into the stories. We also got some updates

And the reason reason this was important because when people were saying, oh, they got rid of the overly qualified black general who had been in charge of multiple wars and had been in charge of running the military everywhere and replaced him with,

Pete, his own mama said he's trash, heggseth. That was not an example of diversity equity and inclusion.

Diversity equity and inclusion is a policy that was implemented as a way to work around

white people's commitment to racism.

For centuries, white Americans had largely participated in an effort that basically said,

if you were not white, you could not be considered, you could not be evaluated, you didn't

have a shot.

And so diversity, equity and

inclusion programs, affirmative action programs, were basically hacks around white people's racism.
