Chronicling the creeping demise of Diversity™, Equity™, and Inclusion™, otherwise known as institutionalized racism.
Racist ‘Race-Neutral Environmental Justice Program’ eliminated
From “Trump’s DEI Purge Sweeps Up Race-Neutral Environmental Justice Program," via The American Prospect (emphasis added):
President Donald Trump eliminated the Justice40 program on day one of his second term, lumping it alongside programs to address racial inequity that have been targeted in the White House’s campaign against “DEI.”* This was despite the fact that the initiative was focused entirely on low-income and underresourced communities, explicitly excluding any consideration of race, and was designed that way to insulate it from the alleged reverse-discrimination arguments that undergird much of Trump’s policy…
the initiative excluded race, and was instead carefully calibrated to comply with the “color-blind” principles underlying the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling that outlawed affirmative action.
*Note the placement of “DEI” in quotation marks, suggesting that DEI somehow doesn’t exist or is a right-wing conspiracy theory.
Consider that, just a year ago, a propaganda rag like The American Prospect would be, rather than denying anti-white racism in government programs, explicitly lauding it — proof we’ve entered a new paradigm.
For the record, this exact program in question, Justice40, was explicitly marketed as racist when it was announced back in 2021.
Via Natural Resources Defense Council (what lovely and innocuous-sounding name!) (emphasis added):
In what could potentially be a turning point in the fight against environmental racism, President Biden has promised to allocate 40 percent of the benefits from federal climate investments to disadvantaged communities. Such a commitment, known as Justice40, is long overdue, but now the real work begins: ensuring the funds get to the people who need it most while being as effective as possible in righting historical wrongs and helping communities thrive.
At any rate, methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Even if Justice40 wasn’t racist, the very fact that its apologists have to plead that it’s allegedly “race-neutral” now that it’s in the DOGE crosshairs gives the game away: everyone now understands that “environmental justice” or whatever euphemism that liberal social engineers concoct is virtually guaranteed to discriminate against white people.

Every government program is supposed to be race-neutral by default, full-stop. If that’s not a non-negotiable pillar of a multi-ethnic society, racial strife is guaranteed.
Department of Education NGO in DOGE crosshairs taught white babies they were racist
I don’t know what masochistic liberal white women are going to use as an outlet for all of their angst after their government-sponsored BLM NGOs go the way of the buffalo.
They’ll probably just have to double-down on “The View” and double their daily wine ration.
The Department of Education funded this NGO, which argues that white children must "push through all of the white fantasy that is just part of what it means to grow up in a white supremacist society."

‘What to Expect When Expecting a DEI Layoff’
Reveling in the emotional anguish of others is probably wrong. But if anyone ever deserved emotional anguish, it’s the DEI goblins who have infested every institution of import in the West while contributing nothing at all but the incitement of racial hatred for paychecks from foundations propped up by USAID and similar groups.
So file this under: “gratuitous schadenfreude.”
Via Diverse Education (emphasis added):
In this post-presidential election reality, many of us are feeling uncertain about our jobs—especially DEI folks who have been seeing the writing on the wall for quite some time…
It hurts to no longer see my colleagues and students—my community—every day when I come to work. It was difficult to see former colleagues with tears in their eyes as we cleared out our offices and closed this chapter in our lives so abruptly. The physical space felt like a ghost town, a painful reminder of the community torn apart. Reliving these moments of the past leaves me unsettled as to the harm that I experienced at the hands of the institution…
While resources focus on “next steps” for job seekers, few address the emotional labor required to rebuild from such an experience. This pain and upheaval should be recognized, not only for those laid off but for everyone affected by the instability it creates.
