Report: ‘Even Before Trump’ Black Owned Businesses Lament DEI Programs Weren’t Made ‘For Us’

Sara Carter-
Reuters published an article that will enrage liberals, titled, “Even before Trump, Black-led businesses say DEI initiatives fell flat.” Several black-owned businesses are raising concerns about the effectiveness of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, stating that these initiatives have not significantly benefited them. Therefore, their elimination by President Donald Trump has left Black Businesses somewhat unphased because the Democrats’ DEI initiatives “isn’t for us” laments one owner. According to a report by Reuters on Tuesday, many black business owners remain largely unaffected by the rollback of DEI programs under the Trump administration.

“DEI isn’t designed for us,” Casey Cooper, a black business owner, told Reuters. “It may look promising on paper, but the financial benefits do not reach us.” Wendell Stemley, President of the National Association of Minority Contractors, also challenged the perception that DEI policies have effectively helped minority contractors. “There’s a misconception that the government has extensive minority business programs offering numerous contracts to black business owners,” Stemley said. “That’s not how the system actually works.” more here

  2. DEI is the enemy of anyone (any color) who is smart, driven, ambitious or who wants an opportunity to go as far as his talents will allow him.

    DEI is inherently unfair, is flawed in its applications, and is un-American, perverting the very tenets of American Exceptionalism and personal agency.

    The only two groups that like it; the perpetually stupid and lazy, and The Democratic Party, who knows they can’t win on their ideas so they must bribe folks.

  3. Casey Cooper is a black woman who own circle compass trucking. If you check their net sales they range any where from a billion (highly doubtful) to 27K is sales for fiscal 23. The government can’t force dei programs on a business unless you’re doing government contracts. I searched a cage code for Circle Compass, nada. Which means she’s not doing Gov contracts. At least under the name Circle Compass. I appreciate her sentiments, but it’s highly doubtful she was ever forced to implement a DEI program unless she took a big ass Gov loan.

  4. I would think that Blacks would be (should be) insulted by the the New Age KKK (hypocritcal democRATz) essentially patting them on the head saying: “There there, it’s OK little Black people! We know you can’t compete so we’ll make a special program just for you!

  5. It is absolutely and unequivocally set up to enslave “vulnerable populations.”

    It is 100% about this right here:

    These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again.
