Are professionals of other races invited to attend too? If not how can you celebrate DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion)? Where’s the inclusion?
True. If “Gainesville Black Professionals” REALLY believed in diversity, equity, and inclusion they would immediately change their name to “Gainesville Professionals.” The fact that they do no tell us all we need to know about the bigotry embedded in their message. Sad. Proponents of “equity” do not realize that promoting blacks is a form of discrimination, like affirmative action.
These racially bias folks are targeting blacks.
I’m not black.
Their voice is mute.
When professionals are valued for their quality of service and goods, instead of their skin color, then they will be truly professional.
Perhaps The White Professional Expo … oh, wait, that group would be called racist and would be.
