DEI literally never existed.
As far as I'm concerned it was never anything more than a corporate buzz phrase and a handful of pizza parties.
It had minimal effect on Black employment and had no impact on the absolute collapse of Black business creation(as measured in loan activity and VC dollars).
In real terms Black Americans did worse during the DEI era than before. DEI was lip service to distract from the fact we were loosing significant ground and still are.

recounting a DEI department experience
@nullagent only DEI head I ever met got fired by her white higher ups, she was a black woman put into a powerless boxticking role for her administrators. So if anything my experience around formal DEI initiatives was "the DEI head is being harassed by old white men until she gets fired. Then the old white men pat themselves on the back."
