KELISA WING is the new chief of diversity, equity, and inclusion at the Department of Defense. This Wednesday, several of her publications in which she makes racist comments against white people came to light.
The messages were published in a report made by Fox News. She wrote in June 2020, “I’m exhausted with these white folx in these [professional development] sessions,” the media outlet detailed. In another message she would have assured that “[B]eing antiracist means being active against racism… you will NEVER arrive… stop centering this on whiteness.”
In addition, Fox News also detailed that “on another occasion, Wing responded to a user who said, “I am exhausted by 99% of the white men in education and 95% of the white women. Where can I get a break from white nonsense for a while?”
To the user’s assertion, Wing responded, “If another Karen tells me about her feelings… I might lose it..”. “Karen” is a word used in a derogatory way to refer to white women who “use their privilege to get something.”
Positions against white people
The news outlet explained that “Fox News Digital reached out to the Department of Defense, asking if Wing’s statements about White people were appropriate for a DoD employee involved in diversity, equity and inclusion, but did not immediately receive a response.”
It added, “Wing — who oversees curriculum at DoDEA, according to a press release — has also co-created children’s books that said that White people must confess their privilege and were de facto hurting Black people by being benefactors of unearned advantages.”
