The Dangers of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion - Erec Smith
Season 6
Episode 40
Published 3 years ago
Description
I have been following Erec Smith for at least the last couple of years. Erec resigned as a 'Diversity Officer" once he saw the dangers of how this industry is framing the work and the vocabulary. He gives us some inside baseball on DEI and its goals.
DEI makes a lot of sense "if your goal is social transformation . . revolutionizing society, getting rid of powers that be and establishing something else."
"If you can make people question the very fundamentals of that society then that society will eventually hobble and eventually fall."
Erec is a Co-Founder and Co-Editor of Free Black Thought, a visiting scholar for Cato Institute, and an Associate Professor of Rhetoric. Who controls the meaning of words?
