S E1265: In Class with Carr, Ep. 265: “DEI Gone Wild!”


Listen Later

In a week when the imposition of US tariffs by an increasingly unstable federal government weaponized by white nationalism pushes the US and global economies towards global recession and depression, the University of South Carolina Women’s Basketball Team highlights ongoing tensions between race, power, and control in U.S. society.

While Black students make up only 10% of USC’s student body, they represent over a quarter of the state’s population. Meanwhile, South Carolina’s political power is shaped by hyper-gerrymandered districts, allowing white nationalist control, seen in actions like the state legislature’s recent ban on DEI initiatives.

The most potent DEI force in modern world history is the equity that blends the diversity in and inclusion of a full range of racial identities that mask under the label “White.”

“March Madness” centers Black bodies on Basketball courts contrasted by predominantly white bands, cheerleaders, and fans whose own lives stand in sharp contrast to the lives of the families of those who entertain them in the arenas, making unavoidable issues of representation and control.

In the week marking the 57th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination and funeral, we consider moral, ethical, and political challenges to those resisting diversity, revealing that their motives are rooted in full spectrum dominance, not dislike.

Collective struggles for equity reveal clashing and irreconcilable societal visions.
