2024 will be a year for letting emotions all out! COVID had people locked up for so long that people’s emotions are breaking out, and no apologies are necessary. Claudine Gay, Harvard University’s president, submitted her resignation on January 2, 2024. The 30th President and first black woman lasted less than six months, from July 1, 2023 -to January 2, 2024. The minority quota was completed and filled by being the second woman to serve. They checked all the necessary boxes. I heard that her supporters are doing their best by showing how angry they are by doing nothing about the circumstances. Circumstances that are controlled by influential, rich white folk and politicians made it their goal to get rid of this woman. An advantage of having vast amounts of money is ignoring what anyone thinks about you, your affiliations, and your beliefs. And those beliefs can be just as racist as the money-holder wants. Ms. Gay forgot where she was. Despite her qualifications, she began her short term under fire by the far right, who believed that affirmative action was against white people and that any black person appointed as head of a pillar of society, especially a woman, doesn’t belong there. She would not be their pawn as a particular Supreme Court judge is.
Pressure followed her congressional testimony along with other presidents of Ivy League colleges. Conservative websites accused her of plagiarism, even though the academics at Harvard did not attest to it. The Republicans are becoming domestic terrorists who are determined to destroy America. Please don’t accuse me of saying that; they make stuff up to divide and will lie about it. Mrs. Gay might not have been perfect, but I have not seen anyone, black or white, man or woman. I have seen some that are awful, ignorant, incapable of doing their job and are getting free passes by being pathetic.
I see that these attacks are accepted by their supporters. The far right knows no bounds. They tend to control the media, or the media is just plain greedy for news and clicks. Christopher Rufo was the spearhead of this attack on Mrs. Gay and bragged about it. He celebrated it and was proud of his victory. What blew my mind was what was said next. “We must not stop until we have abolished DEI ideology from every institution in America.” DEI = Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. DEI is Latin for God. God is not in this type of action, although He is diverse, equal, and inclusive. But, switch two words around, and the letters are DIE. I wonder if those are the letters that RUFO and Elise Stefanik, a representative from New York, want to see. The war is against the people who support the Critical Race Theory and telling the truth about this country’s history. The far-right and others are against those that are woke. Respect to Mark Cuban. You are appreciated for what you do.
Myra Adams, an Opinion Contributor with The Hill, wrote an article regarding Trump’s evangelical voters remaining loyal even though he violates the Ten Commandments. Gallup reported that 84 percent of the supporters are white. They could only see Trump as their deity in DEI and will follow him. Trump is their god. God sent ten plagues to the Egyptians to release the Jews, and they were witnesses. Yet, throughout their journey in the wilderness, they complained to God about food and water and wanted to return to captivity. They continued disobeying, and many never reached the Promised Land. These Christians can’t see because they believe the lies they are being told.
These hypocrites are people who do not want this country to heal. They want to bring this country down and back to the Jim Crow days. What new accuse would they find for this? Affirmative Action was necessary to create diversity and equality in America. Where would this country be if we didn’t have it? We have lost our way in dignity and respect. The devil is taking control of the churches, and the shepherds are misleading us. But God is still in control. He will never abandon or forsake those who believe in Him. Stand by. We’re about to be witnesses to a saved nation.
