In Episode 25 of Khannecting the Dots, I come full circle — back to one of the main issues that pushed me to start this show: DEI.
After Trump blamed DEI for everything from plane crashes to institutional failure, corporations raced to roll back diversity programs. But the backlash was never really about policy — it was about power.
This episode breaks down how “DEI” became a coded scapegoat, why DEI succeeded in some places and failed in others, and how zero-sum fear keeps working people divided while wealth is extracted at the top. The alternative is solidarity — and building a bigger table.
