It is no secret that Wikipedia is part of the #woke media complex. Its editors are a cabal of Pharisees, and the content is increasingly suspect, even on topics like science. What was once intended as an encyclopedia by the people is one by certain people with a very narrow left-wing sense of meaning meant to indoctrinate the many.
Like lots of things online, it fundraises to pay its bills, and it does a far better job at it than we do – probably (in part) because it has a lot of help. Google and others include Wikipedia links for every relevant search, and they feature them at or near the top. We suffer from the down-ranking lies of groups like NewsGuard, which results in our content being suppressed in search compared to the well-ranked systemic media lies, including those at Wikimedia.
We also spend our donations on the website and its attendant necessities. Wikimedia, which is alleged to have a 177 million dollar war chest, spends at least 50 million supporting DEI crap.
The Wikimedia Foundation defines racial equity as shifting away from US and Eurocentricity, White-male-imperialist-patriarchal supremacy, superiority, power and privilege to create an environment that is inclusive and reflects the experiences of communities of color worldwide. These modes of privilege mentioned above function as setting the dominant social, political, legal, policy-oriented, and cultural norms around the world.
Racial equity means acknowledging explicit and implicit affirmative actions for White people and groups with privilege related to skin color are created systemically through institutional power, dominance, and control.
Racial equity aims to promote consistent and sustained repair for non-White, non-US and Eurocentric communities and communities that continue to experience harm due to racism and colorism.
Lastly, racial equity includes authentic and intersectional, racial, ethnic and/or color demographic representation that promotes sustained and consistent participation of people from oppressed communities based on skin color.
We’d appreciate a few more monthly subscribers who know we’d never spend that on anything but growing GraniteGrok, the content, and the audience. You don’t have to support us to benefit, but whatever you do, do not give money to Wikipedia or Wikimedia, and most of our readers would not or have not. But now you have an even better reason not to do that. They have plenty of money, and they give gobs of it to America-hating divisive organizations looking to rip the nation apart so the Marxists can take it over.
We strive to do the opposite.
