MSNBC Host Tears Apart Right-Wing DEI Obsession With Brutal Reality Check
HuffPost
MSNBC's Ali Velshi looked back at a time when there were "far more plane crashes" after Donald Trump's bonkers claim.
MSNBC host Ali Velshi scorched conservatives on Saturday over their fixation on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives after President Donald Trump’s claim that such efforts were to blame for the deadly midair collision in Washington, D.C., this past week.
His comments arrived after MSNBC legal analyst Melissa Murray, a law professor at New York University, argued that the attacks on DEI are “about rolling back the gains of the Civil Rights Movement” and “reestablishing, re-entrenching a form of racial and gender hierarchy.”
Velshi chimed in and noted that there were “far more plane crashes” prior to the beginnings of DEI.
“Before we had diversity in the federal workforce, before there were any pilots other than the Tuskegee Airmen — there were no commercial, there were virtually no commercial Black pilots, there were no women,” Velshi continued.
“Planes crashed a lot more and that has a lot more to do with technology and where we are and safety. We didn’t blame white people for the crashing of planes nor should we have. We learned how to investigate plane crashes carefully and properly and come up with recommendations.”
