The self-described “woke” chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer in the Department of Defense’s education branch has a history of calling out white people on social media.
The tweets by Kelisa Wing, an Army veteran and the current DEI chief at the DoD’s Education Activity, were first reported by Fox News. When the outlet contacted her for comment, her Twitter account was made private and she declined to respond.
“I’m exhausted with these white folx in these professional development sessions,” Wing, who oversees curriculum at DoDEA, tweeted in June 2020. “This lady actually had the audacity to say that black people can be racist too … I had to stop the session and give Karen the BUSINESS … We are not the majority, we don’t have power.”
“Caudacity” is a portmanteau referencing audacity expressed by white people.
“Being antiracist means being active against racism … you will NEVER arrive … stop centering this on whiteness,” Wing said.
In another post, Wing responded to another user who criticized an article she had written that claimed “racism is ingrained in the very fabric of our country,” and called on teachers to dismantle “racial oppression,” Fox reported.
“Bye Karen,” Wing wrote, dismissively.
Wing additionally called former President Donald Trump the ‘boy version of a Karen’ and his former secretary of education, Betsy DeVos ‘the Queen of Karens’.
Wing has been known to co-author multiple children’s books concerning race. In 2021, she wrote along with Leigh Ann Dickerson, as part of the Racial Justice in America Series, “What Is White Privilege?”
The book says that “White privilege hurts a lot of people. If you are White you might feel bad about hurting others or you might feel afraid to lose this privilege.”
“Overcoming White privilege is a job that must start with the White community,” the book says.
The book was one of many removed for review by a Florida school district, a nonprofit group that monitors banned books reported.
“Honored to be involved with work that causes good trouble,” Wing said on Twitter in response to the report.
In another of Wing’s co-authored books, titled “What Is Anti-Racism?,” she reportedly makes unfounded claims including that “the modern idea of ‘race’ was introduced by the National Party in Germany,” despite a long history of conceptions of race and racism predating Nazi Germany.
Wing co-authored another book called “What Does It Mean to Defund the Police?” as part of the children’s series.
When she was promoted to chief in 2021, the DoD said Wing “has been involved with diversity, equity and inclusion efforts for students and schools over many years, authoring several books on the topic,” according to a release obtained by the outlet.
In a video posted to DoDEA’s YouTube channel, Wing said her responsibilities at DoDEA include “a holistic view of the agency in terms of recruitment and retention, development and promotion, teaching and learning, and then as well as climate.”
She gets away with this BS ‘cause she’s black, no other reason. Black racist!
Go F00K yourself racist bitch!
Amen!!!! She wants to call Caucasian women a “Karen” for pointing out that EVERY race can have skin color prejudices, how about we give a dark skinned female that thinks she is above prejudice the nickname of BERTHA. See how she addresses that one!

Her saying that only white people can be racist because they have the power makes absolutely no sense. Anyone of any color can be racist. In fact, black people are the ones that are usually the most racist. They hate white people for no reason other than the fact that they’re white. They automatically see them as the oppressor and blame them for everything that goes wrong in their life so they never have to take any accountability for their own actions. They use the black card as a defense any chance they can. Oh your child doesn’t like my child? It MUST be because they’re black. It couldn’t possibly be because they’re a spoiled brat and an a$$hole. Oh I didn’t get the job? It MUST be because I’m black and not because someone else had more experience. They’re the ones that are hyper focused on race and the ones that consistently make it an issue. How do they expect society to move on from racism and leave it in the past when they consistently bring it up at every turn?
Holy shit lolol. That escalated quickly
Couldn’t have said it better myself. African Americans are constantly playing the race card and then expect everyone to ignore the fact that they do so. They have their own Miss America pageant, their own chamber of commerce and a host of other groups and organizations that only blacks are allowed in, but they are not excluded from those types of organizations and events that are not designated as black. If one race of people intentionally segregates themselves from other races of people, how will racism ever end? I believe it is becoming an even worse problem with BLM being crammed down everyone’s throat. Why can’t we just say all lives matter. Why do they say “we have to stop black on black crime”. Why can’t we just say let’s stop all crime. It’s OK to have black on white crime or black on Hispanic crime? I don’t think so.
Before Obama became president America had a pretty good handle on the race issue. We pretty much all got along well with different races and cultures. Eight years of him and Brandon and America became an evil racist country overnight. My question to this awful writer is if America is so racist and evil how was she able to get the privaliged job she has of being high up in the government? Also if America is so evil why do we have people loosing their lives daily trying to get here to have a better life?
Very good comment, I agree with you 100%.
Hiring a racist for an equity job. Can’t fix stupid.
The only reason she has that job is because she is black and a racist, Another LGB puppet
If she’s not happy here go back to Africa!! PLEASE GO!!
They will put her in the pot & make a stew!
It is natural to be racist , nothin wrong with racism. You mean I shouldn’t be rootin for my team ? Makes no sense , are all peoples in New York rootin for the Cincinnati Reds ? No it’s only natural to root for the home team.
Race war
Clear reflection on our military today. The GREATEST warriors of the past, male and female of MANY races, are gone and replaced with those who would run from the battlefield! God forbid if Russia and China decided to take action against the USA (or even North Korea now, with their “automatic launch law” they just passed) there would be few if any protecting America, EXCEPT PATRIOTS!
True words!
This is what your government is propagating, white hatred, the majority of Americans happen to be white, why would we put up with the angry racist blacks attacking us because we happen to be white, we all know if this was a white woman, she would be fired, investigated, put on trial and either imprisoned or at the least have no possibility of being hired again. This is what your white democratic neighbors are doing to you, when will we as a prodominently white nation say ENOUGH is ENOUGH, these people should be fired, and jailed for hate crimes, just as white people would be, but we’re all pussies now, so I guess this is what happens when you become ball less. It dosen’t really matter if the republicans win over the democrats, the cancer is in the government and is only getting stronger, we have lost. Desency is gone, fairness is over, you must bow to the laziest, stupidest people in our society. Good job America.
