As a colored dude, it's hard to explain. I've even had white folks say, "Nah man it's not like that."

If you think DEI is Marxism in disguise you know neither what it nor Marxism actually are.
Actually, I do know, I’ve read enough about Stalinism and Leninism. It’s not a huge leap, then, to connect the equity philosophy to enable redistribution of wealth and resources to the Global south, especially as it relates to Climate justice.
Authoritarianism is still fucked whether the people oppressing you are left or right.
Lol thinking DEI is somehow parallel to authoritarianism is hilarious.
You might want to work on your reading comprehension if this is the lesson you learned. Making sure a company has a fair and unbiased hiring process or representation of minorities or fair pay and equal equity for stakeholders that are people of color or women, etc etc is a very far cry from some sort of broad wealth redistribution.
Then tell me why I am being called a Nazi for bringing up the FACTUAL connection DEI and CRT both have to Neo-Marxism and Marxism. I am not racist, nor homophobic, or transphobic. I want to see better outcomes for people in minority status. I just don’t want people to blindly accept Marxist ideologies.
Because they're not Marxist ideologies and you're trying to pretend they are and/or reading materials that are disingenuous and incorrect.
I'm not calling you a Nazi but I am telling you that CRT and DEI initiatives are not at all grounded in Marxism.
Maybe you’re right in so many words, I’ll take into consideration.
