Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs have ballooned into a multibillion-dollar industry, but rather than fostering camaraderie and teamwork, these initiatives may be contributing to the country’s racial divide, posits bestselling author and conservative political commentator Ed Brodow.
“Almost every major corporation and government agency has diversity trainings, which they force their employees to take,” Brodow said in a recent interview. “The City of Seattle has a training where it tells the white employees, ‘undo your whiteness.’ Coca-Cola tells its employees, ‘be less white.’”
In his new, No. 1 Amazon Best Seller, The War on Whites: How Hating White People Became the New National Sport, Brodow makes his case for the discriminatory consequences of antidiscrimination measures and advocates for a value system that prioritizes judging people based on the quality of their character instead of the color of their skin.
“Under the widely accepted version of diversity, whites are demonized as oppressors and blacks are disempowered by being told they are helpless, oppressed victims,” Brodow added. “Both contribute to the social disintegration of America.”
Some of the topics Brodow explores in his book include:
- Racism/discrimination against whites
- Systemic racism and white supremacy
- Diversity trainings
- Diversity vs. meritocracy
- The educational system
- Affirmative action
- Black Lives Matter
- Critical Race Theory
- Joe Biden’s presidency
Brodow argues that systemic racism and white supremacy no longer exist thanks to the changes that have occurred in the last 60 years. His arguments are supported by the opinions of leading African-American thinkers, including Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Bob Woodson, Candace Owens, Larry Elder and John McWhorter.
“The War on Whites is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of America,” Brodow said. “You cannot say in the same breath that giving preference to white males is racist and sexist, but giving preference to minorities and women is not. It has to work both ways. We should be able to accommodate the rights of our minorities without depriving the majority of theirs.”
