Still Laundering Black Rage: DEI as Counterinsurgency
Too Black, a poet, scholar, and organizer known for hosting the Black Myths Podcast, discusses the pitfalls of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. He argues that DEI often launders genuine Black rage into superficial reforms that fail to challenge systemic oppression. The conversation delves into the historical roots of DEI, its co-optation by capitalist interests, and the backlash against it. Too Black also highlights the need for meaningful action beyond tokenism and critiques the failures of Black leadership in addressing community needs.

Too Black and Rasul A. Mowatt, "Laundering Black Rage: The Washing of Black Death, People, Property, and Profits" (Routledge, 2024)
Too Black, a low-wage worker, poet, and filmmaker, joins geographer Rasul A. Mowatt to dive deep into the concept of 'laundering' Black rage in their new book. They dissect how systemic oppression obscures the emotional toll on Black communities while critiquing capitalism's role in commodifying Black struggle. The discussion traverses historical injustices, the erasure of Black pain, and the connection between grassroots movements and corporate America. Together, they spotlight the ongoing fight for true representation and the implications of recent events on Black identity.
