Summary

Federal health workers are alarmed after the “DEI Watch List” website published names, photos, and salaries of employees, mainly Black, labeling them “targets” for involvement in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

The conservative American Accountability Foundation runs the site, which has sparked fears of doxxing and intimidation.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently issued memos demanding an end to DEI-related work, escalating paranoia. Some staff have been placed on leave.

    The incarceration rate is entirely due to blacks being relegated to poverty and re-enslaved by the system we all apparently supported before Trump.

    The black stats are largely to do with poverty, not with being black.

    Wait, so you understand that many black people are systemically relegated to poverty, but disagree that poor black people being incarcerated at higher rates is related to them being black? I can’t quite follow your logic here.

    If A (being black) leads to B (higher chance of poverty), and B leads to C (higher rates of incarceration), then A also leads to C.
