I didn’t expect to have to do this so soon after the release of my film “Am I Racist?,” but at this point I have no choice. Already, I find myself having to dispel rumors on social media that a sequel to the film is in production, in which I don an even more convincing disguise and infiltrate the most absurd DEI struggle sessions that I can find, deep inside the bowels of corporate America.
You might think that rumors like this would be hard to take seriously — if only because I probably wouldn’t be able to find any more DEI struggle sessions to infiltrate. After all, it’s been more than four years since the DEI craze began. And it’s clear now that the industry is crumbling.
Universities from Florida to Texas to Kentucky have closed their DEI departments. Various state governments are doing the same thing.
Meanwhile, people like Robby Starbuck have exposed several major companies for promoting the DEI scam — including Tractor Supply, John Deere and Harley Davidson. And every single time, once they’re exposed, these companies reverse course. They’re all aware how shameful and counterproductive DEI programs are. So they’re canceling them, left and right.
But the truth is that, despite all that’s happened, there are still a few failing institutions in this country that are clinging on to the DEI industry. In times of internal crisis, there are some major corporations and government agencies that are willing to pay DEI consultants in a desperate attempt to right the ship. And some of these attempts are so comical, on their face, that they would admittedly make great fodder for a sequel to “Am I Racist?”. I’ll go through a couple of examples in a second. But first I want to reassure anyone who’s about to be forced to attend a DEI workshop that no, I will not be in attendance — with a man bun or otherwise. I’ve done my time. I’ve already been certified. I don’t need to go back into that environment. And that might be a missed opportunity, frankly, since these DEI sessions are now so absurd that they really should be featured in a comedy movie of some kind.

What’s happening at CBS News right now is maybe the best example.
They’ve just brought in a DEI expert because the whole company is falling apart. They’re self-immolating. Here’s the background.
Yesterday, Puck News reported that: “CBS NEWS has been roiling after a CBS Mornings interview in which [a CBS anchor] pressed Ta-Nehisi Coates over his pro-Palestinian framing of Israel-Palestine conflict. … This morning, on October 7, CBS News leaders Wendy McMahon & Adrienne Roark told staff that the interview did not meet editorial standards for impartiality, though they declined to elaborate on how or why. When they tried to move on, CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford criticized the leaders for their decision.”
So to summarize, CBS News is melting down internally over a seven-minute interview on CBS Mornings, in which an anchor supposedly failed to be “impartial” during an interview with a guest named Ta-Nehisi Coates. Here’s part of the interview. This is as heated as it got, as far as I can tell. Watch:
So there’s a question that’s not very flattering, at least by the standards of a “CBS Mornings” interview. But it’s a completely reasonable question. The anchor wants to know why the guy’s book is so one-sided. And instead of answering the question, the author starts talking about how the media is aligned against him. It’s a pretty obvious dodge. But there’s nothing particularly remarkable about any of this. And the rest of the conversation goes on in the same way. It remains cordial, on both sides, for the entire segment.
Put another way, this was not the kind of interview that should’ve caused any kind of meltdown inside a news organization that employs adults. It really shouldn’t have provoked any kind of reaction whatsoever.
Reasonable people — whatever they think of this particular issue — should be able to tolerate frank, direct questions about their beliefs. But inside CBS News, that’s not happening. The network is tearing itself apart because a lot of their employees are upset that the anchor didn’t heap praise on this guy’s book. The anchor wasn’t sufficiently deferential to the plight of people in Gaza, or whatever. So the leaders of CBS News are now apologizing — saying the interview didn’t meet their, “editorial standards.”
First of all, the idea that CBS News has any “editorial standards” would be news to anyone who watched the vice presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz. At one point, the CBS moderators invented a quote out of thin air, and then attributed it to Vance. At another point, they tried to do a drive-by fact-check that happened to be false. And when Vance tried to correct the record, they cut his microphone.
But, despite all this, CBS News is still pretending that they’re a serious news organization with “standards.” And those “standards” apparently mean that anchors don’t get to ask questions about books — at least when those questions upset the Left-wing activists inside the organization who, for some reason, are posing as journalists. So CBS’ management is panicking. They have no idea what to do. And in their panic, they’re falling back on a familiar strategy. Instead of displaying any form of leadership whatsoever, they’re outsourcing the job. And they’re not just outsourcing it to anyone. They’re bringing in the big guns. Specifically, they’re bringing in a DEI expert.

Here’s the follow-up report, again from Puck News. I promise this isn’t a guerilla marketing campaign for my movie: “UPDATE: CBS News has invited self-described ‘mental health expert, DEI strategist and trauma trainer’ Dr. Donald Grant to moderate conversation on this issue in an all-staff meeting tomorrow.”
Again, to be clear, I am not Dr. Donald Grant. That is not my alter ego. But you’d be forgiven for thinking otherwise, given the circumstances. I mean, if you go on LinkedIn, you’ll find that Dr. Grant is the author of an article about Kamala Harris that’s entitled, “She is a DEI hire. So what?” And that does sound like something I’d write.
But in fact, Dr. Donald Grant is a very real DEI consultant that CBS News has called in, all because one of their anchors asked a mildly probing question to a guest on a talk show. And Dr. Donald Grant is not me. He doesn’t appear to be anything like me, in fact. For one thing, I’m DEI certified, which Dr. Donald Grant doesn’t appear to be. And that’s a big credential, as I outline in the film. Also, Dr. Donald Grant does not have a glorious man bun. Additionally, unlike Dr. Donald Grant, I don’t post unhinged cartoons on Instagram that mock black Republicans simply because they’re black. That’s another notable difference. This is one of those cartoons that Grant uploaded, to give you some idea what I’m talking about:

This is the kind of thing that CBS News apparently likes to see in their DEI experts. If you ask me, it seems a bit like a liability. But the biggest distinction between myself and Dr. Donald Grant — and the reason that CBS should’ve hired me instead of him — is that I don’t just make things up. If you’ve seen my film, you know that my DEI workshop was airtight. Everything I said was verifiably true, sane and reasonable. My workshops really get down to the nitty gritty, even to the point of elder abuse and self-flagellation.
Dr. Donald Grant isn’t as serious about doing the work. His DEI sessions clearly don’t meet the same standard. I can make that assumption because I just watched Grant’s recent appearance on a podcast entitled, “BORN TO BE DOPE!”. Here’s part of it. As you watch this, try not to be distracted by the bizarre, lifesize photo of the host that’s displayed on the screen right behind him. We’ll come back to that later. Watch:
So “one of the biggest pieces of evidence” that white supremacy is real, according to Dr. Grant, is the “black mortality rate.” Specifically, he says that, quote, “research shows us that black babies are more likely to live if they’re cared for by black doctors.”
This is a claim that’s very popular among DEI activists. In fact, one of our DEI Supreme Court justices, Ketanji Brown Jackson, made this same argument in a recent opinion. The implication is that white doctors just don’t care as much about black babies, so they let them die, I guess. Or they don’t try as hard, or communicate as well with the babies’ parents, or whatever. (As an aside, this is maybe the only time you’ll get Left-wing activists to pretend to care about babies being left to die. When Tim Walz or Ralph Northam say doctors can kill babies who survive abortions, they have no problem with it. But if they can blame “white supremacy,” then suddenly they care.)
Except this isn’t happening, at all, in any way, shape, or form. A lawyer named Ted Frank took a close look at the data. He found two things. First of all, this claim appears to originate from a study by Northwestern University doctors showing that, when there’s a black doctor and a black infant, the survival rate for the infant is 99.96%. And when it’s a white doctor and a black infant, the survival rate is marginally lower — at 99.91%. So this is not a big difference we’re talking about. And more importantly, there’s a very clear explanation for the difference, which is that white doctors tend to be more highly specialized than black doctors on average. So they see the worst cases — babies in the NICU who are barely clinging to life. That’s the logical explanation for the difference in survival rates. But it never even occurs to these liars, because all they’re capable of doing is lying. They’re too busy promoting themselves and their victimhood to actually think about the issues they’re talking about.
That’s especially true of the host of this “BORN TO BE DOPE!” podcast, who as I mentioned, does his show in front of a gigantic picture of himself. That actually came up at one point during this conversation.
Here’s how he explains why he has a massive picture of himself right behind him, at all times. Watch:
So growing up, this podcast host went to church, where he learned to be “meek” and “humble.” And then he grew out of that nonsense. Now he understands the true purpose of life. Now he realizes he was “BORN TO BE DOPE!”.
Now, I’m a little rusty on my exegesis, admittedly. But I believe “born to be dope” is somewhere in 1Corinthians. So this checks out. Who needs hope, love, or faith, when you have your own doneness to fall back on? Who needs humility when you can elevate and worship yourself? That’s the foundation of DEI, after all. And remarkably, not every company has abandoned it yet. There are still dumpster fires like CBS News that have a place for this nonsense, long after every reasonable person has moved on.

Another one of those dumpster fires, as we all know, is the federal government. They also have a use for DEI. Take FEMA, for example. As you may have heard, they’re under fire lately for completely failing to do their one job, which is to respond quickly and effectively to disasters. In fact, if anything, they’re actively impeding rescue efforts. They’ve also somehow managed to run out of money, even as they’re giving more than a billion dollars to illegal migrants. How did that happen, exactly?
In recent days, a lot of people have noticed that FEMA’s top strategic priority, according to its website, is “equity.” Here’s what that looks like in practice. This is footage from an internal FEMA disaster preparedness meeting called ‘“Helping LGBTQIA+ Survivors Before Disasters.” It was held last year. Panelists included Maggie Jarry of the “Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration,” and someone named Tyler Atkins, an “Emergency Management Specialist at FEMA” who uses he/they pronouns. Watch:
““The shift we’re seeing right now is a shift in emergency services from utilitarian principles — where everything is designed for the greatest good for the greatest amount of people — to disaster equity. But we have to do more.”
That’s a quote that needs to be repeated every day until this entire organization is dismantled. They’re openly admitting they don’t want to help as many people as they can. They’re saying that some people deserve to suffer during disasters — specifically, American citizens (and particularly straight white males, we can assume). Illegal aliens, meanwhile, get to loot the treasury. They get more than a billion dollars, while FEMA runs out of money for American citizens.
This is the anti-American, anti-human ideology that defines DEI. That’s always been the case, ever since DEI became a multi-billion dollar industry. What’s changed is that almost everyone realizes this now. The only organizations that are still clinging to DEI, at least publicly, are some of the most dysfunctional places on the planet. And I don’t need to make another movie mocking their DEI programs, because at this point, they’re doing a great job of that on their own.
So no, I’m not secretly leading the DEI session at CBS News today. I won’t be infiltrating FEMA any time soon. That’s the good news for the people running the DEI scams at these organizations. The bad news — the news that spells the end for their entire industry — is that, with or without my involvement, the rest of the country is now united in laughing at them.
