In the modern era, it isn't uncommon for corporations to launch diversity and racial sensitivity programs, even if at the most cynical interpretation it's just to protect their image.

But news of a diversity program from Disney called "Reimagine Tomorrow" that aims to promote anti-racism, should be a welcome change and nothing to flip out over.


Unless you're pro-racism, of course.

Republican Representative Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina doesn't seem to be a fan of the initiative. Cawthorn—the youngest member of the House of Representatives and an Adolph Hitler landmark tour enthusiast—retweeted an account called Breaking911 to criticize Disney and diversity.

The Republican said "anti-racists are the real racists."

Cawthorn, a man who had "visiting Hitler's vacation home" on his bucket list and uses such blatant racist dog whistles it's just viewed as racism at this point, was not at all a fan of Disney's new initiative.


He said:

"These documents should concern everyone."
"America is not a racist country. "
"The only racists are the people at @Disney who are directing white employees to 'not question or debate anything they are told by Black people.'"
"The woke anti-racists are the real racists."

His criticism was quickly shot down.

Cawthorn's tweet and the source he is retweeting are making a big deal of the program. They claim it says that White people shouldn't question what they are told by Black people.

However, this isn't accurate.

Instead, the program tells people to not debate their BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) colleagues' lived experiences. When BIPOC speak out against racism and microaggressions, they are often met with patronizing dismissals, such as "Are you sure it was racist," or "They didn't mean it that way."

This is demoralizing and stressful, especially when trying to make certain issues known.

However, as people pointed out online, Cawthorn instead chose to completely misinterpret what the program was advocating, for the sake of scoring points against liberals in the culture war.





This is actually a common issue with Cawthorn, who seems to misread or just not read many things he comments on.

Cawthorn claimed the recent relief bill pushed by the administration of President Joe Biden had no money for veterans, yet the bill very explicitly had $14.5 billion allocated for veteran suicide prevention and fighting homelessness.

The same month, he claimedThe Washington Post retracted a story about former President Donald Trump pressuring Georgia elections investigator Frances Watson to find fraud. However, the story was not retracted, instead the quotes by Trump were just corrected with the exact language he used.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.

Niecy Nash Hilariously Rips Colman Domingo For Over-The-Top Outfit He Wore To Officiate Her Wedding

A time-honored tradition of the North American wedding aesthetic is that the bride is the focal point of the wedding. Wearing all white and dazzling, she's meant to stand out from the rest of the crowd.

But if the wedding officiant shows up looking like a "beautiful bumblebee" fashionista, who do you think the audience will focus on? The officiant or the bride?
