Charlemagne's Critique of DEI Initiatives

Charlemagne criticized corporate DEI initiatives created post-George Floyd for being more symbolic than substantive. He specifically mentioned companies pledging money to black initiatives without actually delivering. He highlighted the performativeness of DEI initiatives in corporate settings, like hanging up posters and holding sensitivity trainings that lacked real impact. Charlemagne emphasized his issue was with superficial DEI efforts, not the concept overall.
