“DEI isn’t actually dead,” proclaimed a recent CNN headline, in a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/17/business/dei-isnt-actually-dead/index.html">piece</a> by consumer reporter Nathaniel Meyersohn that somehow managed to be both condescending and ignorant at the same time. CNN would like you to believe corporate diversity isn’t really going anywhere, just changing its external terminology from the oft-maligned term “DEI” to more nebulous terms like “belonging” and “inclusivity,” while maintaining all of its internal elements.
Personally, I both love and hate this piece and the viewpoint it belies. I love that CNN actually believes the DEI skeptic coalition — made up of many serious investors, dedicated state fiduciaries, and corporate engagement professionals — is naive enough to just go away because companies changed the names of their diversity departments. But I also hate that CNN’s dream scenario might actually happen. Let me explain.
The ball’s rolling. This year was a major step towards undoing the damage done by discriminatory diversity initiatives and rejecting the radicalism of much of modern &#8220;anti-racism.&#8221; And it&#8217;s not even just Trump’s victory (although America’s rejection of Kamala Harris is a lesson DEI advocates seem unwilling to learn). Thanks to the efforts of conservative activists like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/walmart-caves-massive-retailer-the-next-woke-domino-to-fall-under-pressure-from-robby-starbuck" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robby Starbuck</a>, there is a growing list of companies walking back, slashing, or in some cases altogether removing their DEI initiatives.
There&#8217;s also the ever-growing wave of scrutiny on the discriminatory elements of DEI coming from <a href="https://adflegal.org/press-release/adf-calls-corporations-ditch-dei-policies-light-2024-election/">legal groups</a> like Alliance Defending Freedom, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-state-treasurers-investors-urge-major-companies-to-drop-discriminatory-dei-agenda" target="_blank" rel="noopener">financial officers</a> in red states, and of course the shareholders we represent every day in the corporate engagement world.
The halls of American academia are following suit, with campuses like the <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/dec/05/university-of-michigan-dei-cut" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Michigan</a> and <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/diversity/race-ethnicity/2024/07/31/u-missouri-axes-dei-office-pre-empt-state-mandate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mizzou</a> overhauling their DEI initiatives. Even whole states like Idaho are <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/idaho-board-education-bans-dei-offices-initiatives-all-public-universities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taking steps</a> to stamp DEI out of publicly-funded institutions. And that’s not even considering the broader social pushback against the racialism that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-fate-of-the-racially-furious" target="_blank" rel="noopener">infected</a> American society post-George Floyd, from the <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/3148007/am-i-racist-fighting-the-culture-war-with-a-smile/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">success</a> of documentaries like Matt Walsh&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/videos/am-i-racist#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Am I Racist?</a>&#8220; to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/12/opinion/daniel-penny-jordan-neely-subway-killing.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rejection</a> of the race narratives surrounding high-visibility court cases like Daniel Penny.
That’s the roadmap. And it’s easy to think the momentum of the battle against DEI’s problematic elements is all downhill from here. In reality, these are just the first steps, albeit crucial ones. The next steps? Keep walking the road. This is a labor that will take years — and losing momentum is the one thing we cannot afford. In fact, losing momentum is what the Left and the advocates of DEI’s most pernicious elements are counting on us to do. Seems unimaginable given the groundswell of anti-DEI, anti-ESG, and generally anti-woke sentiment that’s sprung up post-November. Give it time.
Post-inauguration, when life returns to normal, we have to keep at the task of rooting out the discriminatory and divisive ideology that so often permeates DEI programs. The staying force of the Left is tremendous. But we’re not just in a battle against the forces of the Left. We’re in a battle against the force of institutional inertia. If we stop, we lose. We must keep pushing. If you work for or own shares in a company with DEI programs, keep pushing for answers. If you’re at a college with a DEI program, keep pushing for answers. If we do these things, and don’t give up, 2025 can be America’s best year yet on rejecting the discrimination and divisiveness so many DEI programs promulgate.

Labeling President-elect Donald Trump, and MAGA nation by extension, white supremacists is so 2016.
Trump’s November 5 victory found him increasing his share of minority voters. Bigly. One small Texas town <a href="https://www.newsweek.com/starr-county-texas-most-hispanic-county-donald-trump-1981230" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with 97% Hispanic voters</a>, flipped for Trump. The president-elect also named several talented people of color to key positions, including Kash Patel (FBI) and Harmeet Dhillon (Assistant AG).
And few leaders flex their pro-Israel muscles quite like Trump. Worst white supremacist ever.
Tell that to entertainment scribes and select filmmakers. They’re still bookmarking pages from the 2016 playbook. Toward that end, they’re weaponizing the new, fact-based thriller &#8220;The Order&#8221; to slam all things MAGA as racist.

The film stars Jude Law as an FBI agent tracking down a hate group known as The Order, led by the charismatic Bob Mathews (Nicholas Hoult). The real group carried out serial crimes in the 1980s, including the slaying of Denver-based radio talker Alan Berg (played by Marc Maron in the film).
Deadline.com shared the film’s screenplay on its site, saying the film had &#8220;<a href="https://deadline.com/2024/12/the-order-script-read-the-screenplay-zach-baylin-1236199048/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">modern relevance</a>.&#8221; Wink-wink.
<blockquote>As they researched, [Zach] Baylin and producer Bryan Haas saw the parallels to the current rise of white nationalism around the world and in the U.S., developing the screenplay with that front of mind. Kurzel said he got the script three months before the January 6, 2021 attack at the U.S. Capitol. </blockquote>
Subtle.
The Hollywood Reporter made a <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/the-order-jude-law-nicholas-hoult-white-supremacists-1236033477/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">direct connection</a> between the film’s subject matter and Trump.
<blockquote>Indeed, the film — hitting theaters roughly a month after the U.S. presidential election — feels particularly of the moment, arriving at a time of increased debate surrounding the espousing of racist views on social media and the support that former President Donald Trump receives from neo-Nazis and hate groups. </blockquote>
The film’s producer, Stuart Ford, <a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/global/jude-law-thriller-the-order-trumpian-zeitgeist-u-s-movie-theatres-producer-stuart-ford-1236231640/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leaned into</a> the Trump factor in press interviews. Journalists were all too eager to regurgitate the talking points sans challenge.
Ford said that “There is no doubt” that “The Order” fits into the Trumpian Zeitgeist. “Unfortunately, the relevance of the film speaks for itself,” he noted.
Law, Hoult, and Baylin <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/-the-order-inspired-by-a-dark-untold-chapter-in-american-history-226368069640" target="_blank" rel="noopener">joined “Morning Joe” on MSNBC</a> to promote the Oscar-season release. We’ll assume the film’s publicist didn’t bend the ear of any Fox News host.

Law said the film “has a resonance to today,” without elaborating. Host Joe Scarborough egged the cast members and Baylin, hoping to snag some anti-Trump sound bites but the artists didn’t bite.
Film critics had far less restraint.
The far-Left Rolling Stone ended its <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-reviews/the-order-review-jude-law-neo-nazis-1235182646/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">review of “The Order”</a> with this overwrought prose.
<blockquote>“In 10 years, we’ll have members in the Senate,” one racist figurehead says [in the film]. He was only off by a few decades. </blockquote>
Variety’s Trump Derangement Critic in chief, Owen Gleiberman, let his <a href="https://variety.com/2024/film/reviews/the-order-review-jude-law-nicholas-hoult-venice-film-festival-1236125318/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MAGA rage fester unchecked.</a>
<blockquote>“The Order,” while scrupulously true to the events of 1983 and 1984, presents itself as a cautionary allegory of what’s happening today: the entwined rise of MAGA and Christian nationalism and the racist dog whistles (and, at times, racist sirens) of Donald Trump’s campaign to take over America. </blockquote>
He might want to follow <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2024/11/anti-trump-filmmaker-rob-reiner-has-checked-himself-into-a-facility-following-the-2024-election/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">director Rob Reiner’s lead</a> and check himself into a “facility.”
Entertainment Weekly brought up the <a href="https://ew.com/the-order-review-jude-law-nicholas-hoult-face-off-solid-crime-thriller-8709204" target="_blank" rel="noopener">modern-day “connections</a>,” too, particularly in its final sentences.
<blockquote>But the film is also a chilling slice of historical memory in the ways it studies one of the earliest iterations of the version of white nationalism currently insinuating itself into American politics — and its haunting understanding of the insidious creep of such beliefs. </blockquote>
Suffice it to say the author isn’t referring to far-Left college students chasing Jews off campus or pro-Hamas rallies happening nationwide. Left unmentioned? Hostage posters torn down by shrieking Palestinian sympathizers.
And we may never see a film where three Ivy League school presidents fail to properly condemn anti-Semitism on Capitol Hill, shaming themselves and their institutions in the process.
Maybe Angel Studios will make that movie some day.

The biggest irony? “The Order” doesn’t stop the story cold to deliver lectures on the evils of white supremacy. Nor does it insert Trumpian parallels into the script beyond a fleeting reference to “storming the capitol.” It’s a well-crafted thriller with a powerhouse turn from Law.
The nuts and bolts of the story are stripped from actual events. End of story, at least technically. It’s like a 1970s movie made in 2024, with woke kept off screen.
Yet the film wraps with a text coda suggesting the January 6 rioters were inspired by “The Turner Diaries,” a hateful text that influenced “The Order’s” real-world monsters.
The film’s Australian director, Justin Kurzel, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/order-movie-jude-law-9bb1ff78dc29ffa5bcd498173f8e9b86" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claims he saw a Jan. 6 protester holding that book</a>, as if Trump supporters made sure to bring such a text along for some light reading. Others have made that connection without tangible proof.
Plus, the Jan. 6 protests were racially diverse like many Trump rallies over the past few years. That’s no excuse for the rioters who fought police and shamed the nation with their violence. Their impetus was based on a mistrust of the election results, not neo-Nazi cosplaying.

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/naacp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NAACP</a> attempted to use Marine veteran Daniel Penny&#8217;s acquittal to stir racial unrest on X, and immediately got hit with a community note laying out several key points explaining why race had absolutely no bearing on that case.
Penny was acquitted on Monday in the death of Jordan Neely, a black man who had a relatively impressive rap sheet before he began behaving erratically and threatening people on a New York City subway. Penny stepped in to stop him, briefly placing Neely in a choke hold — and while he died later, Neely was alive when police arrived on the scene.
The NAACP shared a CNN report on the acquittal and added the following commentary: &#8220;The acquittal of Daniel Penny in the death of Jordan Neely has effectively given license for vigilante justice to be waged on the Black community without consequence. It&#8217;s a painful reminder of the inequities in our justice system. Jordan deserved compassion. Instead, he was met with violence. We stand with his family in calling for accountability.&#8221;

The response from Community Notes was as thorough as it was quick:
&#8220;Daniel Penny did not act alone in defending himself and others from Neely. A black man can be clearly seen assisting Penny to subdue Neely. A black woman testified in defense of Penny. There is no evidence that Penny was motivated by race,&#8221; the note read — and included video showing proof that at least one black man had aided Penny in restraining Neely.
&#8220;It should be noted that another black man attempted to restrain Jordan Neely,&#8221; the video was captioned. &#8220;This event was not racial nor was the verdict. If you wanted to show compassion to Mr. Neely it should&#8217;ve [come] during the 100+ prior times he was arrested. He was a danger to his community. Just a fact.&#8221;

Incoming White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt torpedoed The Washington Post over a media request the outlet sent to her, sharing screenshots of blatant attempts to tie President-elect Donald Trump to an act of racism.
Leavitt posted a photo of the email from The Washington Post on her X account, tearing into the outlet for attempting to use such a situation to foment racial division and then blame Trump for it, despite even admitting that Trump was not remotely connected to the event in question.
&#8220;I just received one of the most absurd emails EVER from the Washington Post,&#8221; Leavitt began. &#8220;This &#8216;reporter&#8217; is doing gymnastics to try and sow division and blame President Trump for something that he admits in his email has no trace to him whatsoever.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The email, sent by a reporter named Emmanuel Felton, was about a racially charged incident that took place in Lawnside, New Jersey, within days of the 2024 presidential election. A local resident had reported seeing spray-painted slurs using the &#8220;n-word,&#8221; and Felton wanted Trump&#8217;s team to respond to the following section of the report:
<blockquote>What happened in Lawnside was part of a wave of racial incidents that occurred in the days following Trump&#8217;s reelection. Around the time that Hines&#8217; fence was sprayed, black people across the country were receiving text messages that said they&#8217;d been &#8220;selected to pick cotton at the nearest plantation.&#8221; And at the same time that Lawnside residents came together to discuss the graffiti on Hines&#8217; fence, a group of self-identified Neo-Nazis marched and shouted the same slur in Columbus, Ohio.</blockquote>
In the very next sentence, Felton gave away the game, however (emphasis added): &#8220;While none of these events can be traced directly back to Trump, experts say that his rhetoric has been tied to an increase in hate crimes across the nation.&#8221;

Sunny Hostin ripped into &#8220;uneducated white voters&#8221; on Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;The View,&#8221; claiming that racism had played a major role in the 2024 presidential campaign and complaining that she was &#8220;profoundly disturbed&#8221; to see Vice President Kamala Harris rejected by the American people.
Hostin claimed that the re-election of former President Donald Trump — the only person besides Grover Cleveland to win two non-consecutive terms in the White House — meant that her daughter would grow up with &#8220;less rights&#8221; than her, and that Hostin herself would have &#8220;less civil rights&#8221; than her father.

Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin, who self-identifies as a Republican despite admitting that she too voted for Harris, stood up to Hostin and argued that identity politics was one of the reasons Democrats had lost.

As former President Donald Trump marched to victory over Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday night, leftist members of the media and Democrats cited racism and misogyny.
Trump was declared the victor first by Fox News, but it took hours for other news organizations to admit the fact.
Former Barack Obama advisor David Axelrod cited sexism as part of the reason for Harris’ defeat.
“I think there are plenty of ways to critique her as a candidate; I think they’ll be time to do that,&#8221; Axelrod said. &#8220;But that doesn’t obviate the fact that there were some people who probably voted against her, we’ve never had a woman president, that there’s sexism in this country.&#8221;
“I do have to wonder what role race and gender played,” ABC’s Linsey Davis said.
“I mean, we’re talking about, one thing that stands out, a less diverse electorate, when you think about even just at-large with the world, of the 193 member nations only 13 have a woman who leads them. Black women are often the last at the table when it comes to pay disparity in this country, getting 67 cents on the dollar when it comes to white men.&#8221;
Davis went on: &#8220;And so I don’t know that we have the answers tonight, but I think that is kind of the elephant in the room that we’re not talking about, because we’re not just talking about having a woman, we’re talking about having a woman of color, and I think that that’s something that we cannot underestimate.”
Asked why Trump won, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) declared, “Racism is the basic part. Now I know that there will be some support from some minorities, but basically, we’re outnumbered. We’re outnumbered. And it’s not about whether or not, y’know, people are selecting absolutely based on public policy or whether or not there’s an elected official who’s willing to do what’s in the best interest of all the people.&#8221;
&#8220;People don’t like to talk about racism,&#8221; Waters said. &#8220;But the fact of the matter is the majority of his votes are going to come from whites, and that’s who he has been talking to, all campaign, about taking the country back, taking it back from too many minorities who are doing too well.”

Despite the fact that roughly 200 people have been killed in New York City in the last five years while jaywalking, the city has now legalized jaywalking — outlawed since 1958 — with supporters claiming the laws against jaywalking were racist.
The city council passed a bill last month permitting jaywalking. Democratic Mayor Eric Adams never vetoed the bill, and it became law and will go into effect in roughly 120 days. Prior to the law being abolished, a violation could cost as much as $300, The New York Times <a href="//A0EB2296-DF3E-4D30-AFC8-07439AE150CB/v" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a>, adding, “Jaywalking laws, historically used to target Black and Latino residents, were not evenly enforced in New York, and the Council bill was primarily a racial justice measure.”
Brooklyn Councilwoman Mercedes Narcisse, who introduced the bill, <a href="//A0EB2296-DF3E-4D30-AFC8-07439AE150CB/v" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>, “Let’s be real, every New Yorker jaywalks. People are simply trying to get where they need to go. Laws that penalize common behaviors for everyday movement shouldn’t exist, especially when they unfairly impact communities of color.”
“We’re seeing discriminatory enforcement of this, but the other thing is that it’s not keeping us any safer,” <a href="//A0EB2296-DF3E-4D30-AFC8-07439AE150CB/v" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Democrat Councilwoman Tiffany Cabán, a sponsor of the bill.

“Jaywalking is not genuinely associated with traffic safety and instead is often used as a pretext to stop black and brown individuals,” Mike McGinn, executive director of America Walks, <a href="https://www.reckon.news/news/2024/05/nypd-disproportionately-cited-people-of-color-for-jaywalking-in-2023-mirroring-racist-enforcement-nationwide.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stated</a>.
“Decriminalizing jaywalking in New York City is long overdue and eradicates a mechanism that the New York City Police Department (NYPD) has, for decades, employed as a pretext to stop, question, and frisk New Yorkers, especially those from communities of color,” the Legal Aid Society <a href="https://legalaidnyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Statement-in-Response-to-Legislation-Decriminalizing-Jaywalking-Becoming-Law-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a>.
“It’s part of a broader decriminalization of everything,” Joseph Borelli, the Republican Minority Leader of the NY City Council, stated. Fellow GOP Councilwoman Vickie Paladino echoed that the move would “promote chaos and make streets far more dangerous.” GOP Councilwoman Joann Ariola of Queens said, “How can anyone imagine this is a good idea considering the [amount] of pedestrian deaths we continue to have each year? It would only put more pedestrians in danger.”

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> campaign is fuming over a &#8220;despicable and racist&#8221; attack ad from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a>, which targets Asian American voters with a warning that voting in Trump would bring back World War II-era internment camps.
The ad, which targets Asian American voters specifically, appears to suggest that Trump would bring about an environment in which they could once again face internment like they did after the Empire of Japan bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941. It also predicts that Trump would spark a rise in racially-motivated crimes like the 1982 murder of <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/06/19/1106118117/vincent-chin-aapi-hate-incidents" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vincent Chin</a> — a Chinese immigrant who was beaten to death by two white auto workers more than forty years ago.
Trump spokesman Steven Cheung, the son of Chinese immigrants, told The Daily Wire that the ad shows the campaign has &#8220;no morals, decency, or ethical standards.&#8221;
&#8220;This is despicable and racist behavior by Kamala Harris and her team,&#8221; Cheung said. &#8220;They have no morals, decency, or ethical standards, so they resort to the lowest form of political theater.&#8221;

Cheung took aim at the Harris campaign official in charge of courting Asian American voters, Andrew Peng.
&#8220;Andrew Peng is a f***ing disgrace to the AAPI community and he should be shamed for throwing his own people down the gutter for political purposes,&#8221; he continued.
The ad flashes images of the internment camps and concludes with Harris&#8217; endorsement of the content and the message — but critics, several of whom are Asian Americans themselves, were less than impressed with the Democratic nominee&#8217;s latest efforts to reach them.
Virginia Republican Senate candidate Hung Cao, for example, is a Vietnamese immigrant whose family fled communist rule after the fall of Saigon. He said that behind all the bluster and fear-mongering that the Left has continued to stoke against Trump lurked a Democratic Party just waiting for enough power to turn the United States into the same hell from which families like his had escaped.

Speaking at a rally in Wisconsin on Tuesday, former President Barack Obama disingenuously said he could not understand why America got so “toxic and just so divided and so bitter.”
“I don&#8217;t understand how we got so toxic and just so divided and so bitter,” he mused. “I get why sometimes people just don’t want to pay attention to it. And we all have friends like that; we have family members who are just like, “Ahh, y’know, it’s all a circus out there.”

Yet Obama’s own rhetoric and that of other Democrat leaders has fanned the flames of division before and during the time he was president. As a July 2016 <a href="https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/social_issues/60_say_race_relations_have_gotten_worse_since_obama_s_election#google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rasmussen poll</a> taken six months before Obama left office noted, 60% of Americans felt race relations had gotten worse since Obama’s election.

In April 2008, when he was running for president, Obama infamously <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/apr/14/barackobama.uselections2008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said,</a> “They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren&#8217;t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.&#8221;

If they’re successful in doing that, they’ve already said they’re going to go back to the same policies that were in place during the Bush administration. That means that we are going to have just hand-to-hand combat up here on Capitol Hill.”
Just <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/obama-explains-his-remark-about-punishing-enemies/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">prior</a> to the 2010 election: “If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, &#8216;We&#8217;re gonna punish our enemies, and we&#8217;re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us&#8217; &#8212; if they don&#8217;t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election &#8212; then I think it&#8217;s going to be harder.”

<blockquote>
America, we know that bias remains.  We know it.  Whether you are black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or of Middle Eastern descent, we have all seen this bigotry in our own lives at some point.  We’ve heard it at times in our own homes.  If we’re honest, perhaps we’ve heard prejudice in our own heads and felt it in our own hearts.  We know that.  And while some suffer far more under racism’s burden, some feel to a far greater extent discrimination’s sting.  Although most of us do our best to guard against it and teach our children better, none of us is entirely innocent.  No institution is entirely immune. And that includes our police departments. We know this.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/stacey-abrams" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stacey Abrams</a> this week accused black men who are not supporting Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; presidential campaign of being racist and sexist.
The Georgia Democrat, who has denied the results of the elections that she lost when she twice ran to become the state&#8217;s governor and lost both times to Republican Governor Brian Kemp, was asked about remarks from a Georgia pastor who recently said that &#8220;misogyny&#8221; was &#8220;still real&#8221; in the black community and was the reason that Abrams lost.
&#8220;I know it&#8217;s a shock to everyone, but sexism remains real and a very pertinent issue,&#8221; Abrams claimed.
Abrams claimed that Harris was doing &#8220;very well with black men&#8221; even though polling has found that Harris is not doing as well with black voters as past Democrat presidential candidates, and former President Donald Trump has the highest support from that community of any Republican presidential candidate since 1960.
&#8220;However, we do have to acknowledge that there is sexism. There is racism,&#8221; she later added. &#8220;There are challenges in our electorate and that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so important that Kamala Harris is going everywhere and talking to everyone. She respects voters. She meets them where they are and she refuses to be told that she has lost a cohort, lost a community simply because she&#8217;s different.&#8221;

“My understanding, based on reports I’m getting from campaigns and communities, is that we have not yet seen the same kinds of energy and turnout in all quarters of our neighborhoods and communities as we saw when I was running,” Obama said.
He said that the lack of enthusiasm for Harris “seems to be more pronounced with the brothers.”
Obama then disparaged voters who might vote for Trump or sit out the election.
“You’re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I’ve got a problem with that,” Obama said. “Because part of it makes me think – and I’m speaking to men directly – part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”
Obama added that the “women in our lives have been getting our backs this entire time.”
“When we get in trouble and the system isn’t working for us, they’re the ones out there marching and protesting,” he added.

A CNN contributor stated that “white folks” should vote for Vice President Kamala Harris, otherwise they would “escape the accountability that they must face for not showing up to save democracy themselves.”
Angela Rye, co-host of the &#8220;Native Land Pod” along with failed Florida Democrat gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum and Tiffany Cross, expressed that view on CNN’s “First of All with Victor Blackwell.”
Blackwell first asked Cross, “The Democrats&#8217; concerns their fears of eroding Black support, specifically among Black men. Is it overblown?”
“Absolutely it&#8217;s overblown, and I find it quite offensive to be honest with you, Victor, because the people who are going to impact this election the most when it comes to Donald Trump are conservative white voters,” Cross declared. “I think that narrative is attempting to lay the failure of this democracy at the feet of black men.”

Blackwell noted that former President Barack Obama was on the campaign trail and had told black men not to eschew voting for Harris because she’s a woman. “Was it a mistake for the former president to say what he did or to say it publicly? What was your assessment of what we heard from former President Obama?” he asked.
“You know, I think that it&#8217;s wonderful that President Obama is out hitting the trail for democracy, frankly,” Rye replied. “And what I think is a mistake is to let white folks escape the accountability that they must face for not showing up to save democracy themselves. Like they want to get mad at presidential candidates right when they don&#8217;t wear a flag lapel pin or they don&#8217;t see you pledging allegiance to the flag, that&#8217;s what they want to get upset about. Now, the face of patriotism to them looks like trying to tear down the capitol in a terrorist attack on January 6, 2021. So the responsibility of saving democracy should be on the largest demographic in this country, that is white men and white women.”

“Harris’s support among Black voters in Georgia trails the levels that Joe Biden secured in his narrow, 11,779-vote victory in 2020,” Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/11d68e8a-c732-4a5d-8703-cd5910e63dbf">noted.</a> “According to polling data released this week from Insider Advantage, Trump’s share of the Black vote in Georgia has reached 14 per cent, compared with 11 per cent in 2020. Harris’s share is 86 per cent, shy of Biden’s 88 per cent.”
