DEI isn’t dead—it was never alive to begin with. A corporate pacification project dressed as progress, it launders Black rage into diversity statements while police budgets grow and material conditions collapse. As the right attacks this hollow facade, we must reject both the bootleg rehab of DEI and the strip-club austerity of Anti-DEI to organize for real power beyond the spectacle of representation. Figure 1. An image of an “Equality in Diversity” sign at an assumed protest.

“The principal aspect of United States capitalist society is not merely bourgeois domination but bourgeois white supremacist domination.”If the fatal flaw of the white left has been the inability — indeed, the refusal — to account for white supremacy, one of the few white leftists to overcome this flaw was Theodore W. Allen (August 23, 1919 – January 19, 2005).

Throughout history, trade restrictions have reshaped economies for good or for ill. As Trump increases tariffs across industries, it is clear that this move will not revitalize the economy as he claims. Rather, it stands to create further hardship for Black and working class people.

As Africans, we don’t want the war in Ukraine to continue. Russia has legitimate security concerns. But instead of addressing them, the opposite has happened. NATO has been expanding its lines, NATO has been trying to consolidate its positions in Eastern Europe, up to the Russian border. What did you expect Russia to do, sit idle and watch?

Above photo: Twitter screenshot. The ADOS and FBA movements have gained influence by advocating for reparations exclusively for Black Americans descended from U.S. slavery. They are promoting a divisive, anti-immigrant, and reactionary ideology. ADOS/FBA’s ideology is a dangerous diversion from true liberation. To achieve justice, Black radicals must reject this reactionary faction and reaffirm anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and Pan-African solidarity.

So-called Foundational Black Americans may tell themselves they are noble protectors of ancestral legacy, but they are, in fact, little different from European groups in this country that conceptualized white privilege and tried to reserve it for exclusive groups.

It comes as no surprise that elements among the left continue to do the bidding of Western imperialist forces. The recent statement from the Ukrainian Solidarity Network exemplifies the left's complete abandonment of a principled material analysis.

The economic stress on African American people shows itself in phenomena like marriage rates. What once was a benefit to Black communities and a path to the middle class, marriage is becoming harder to sustain with low wages and few options for employment. In retrospect, the tipping point in Desjon Yisrael’s marriage was when his wife announced that she was pregnant with their second child. There was enough love to go around—Yisrael was ecstatic—just not enough money.
