Watching the plans of the current administration I must have been fortunate to have grown up in a community that gave no thought to DEI programs.  That small north Florida town knew intuitively that straight, Anglo-Saxon, Christian, males were the best choice to perform any complicated work.  Women could do some jobs if they hadn’t found a husband to make a home with.  There were gays?  Who knew? Blacks or “ni****s” most likely found work cleaning up or on the many area farms. They knew their place and stayed there knowing the cost of challenging the power structure.  My grandfather had a small store near the quarters.  He was “Mr. Willie” to his customers.  Blacks could buy unopened bottles through a side door at my dad’s bar.  Washington started to get in the way of that lifestyle and over many difficult years, things changed.  My hometown voted overwhelmingly for a President who would allow them to put a little of that favored way of living back in place.  I’m sure they can hardly wait.
