Stop Hiding Behind Diversity — America’s Workforce is Anti-Black

For decades, corporations and government institutions have wrapped inequity in the language of progress. What was once “tolerance” has been replaced by the corporate-friendly buzzwords “diversity,” “equity,” and “inclusion.” These terms, polished for annual reports and press releases, sanitize reality.
