- DEI faced another setback last week, as the Fearless Fund announced it would drop its grant program for Black women founders-part of a settlement agreement with the American Alliance for Equal Rights (AAER), the conservative think tank spearheading anti-DEI legal efforts against several business and non-profit institutions. Alphonso David, co-lead counsel to the Fearless Fund and president and CEO for the Global Black Economic Forum sat down with Ali Jackson-Jolley to discuss what's next for the Fearless Fund and other race-based programs.

Really frustrating watching weak people, discuss weak strategies, that consistently deliver weak results. Man up, COMPETE!!
DEI is systematic racism at its best!
“black” “Black” is no longer specific.
precedence has been set for lineage not “race”. we need to be cognizant of both utensils of the vernacular and how and where to employ them.
This guy is attempting to put a spin on the settlement. It was not a win. they lose, mainly because it was poorly defended. The issue should have been about whether any affinity group, besides race, can create targeted funding. Poor lawyering.
Well said
@@mendedgrace thank you!
All you people do a suesu and you can continue your grant for the various enterprises. Talk to any African they will tell u all about it.
Would it be better to turn the Fearless Fund into an organization that works to get black women founders in front of all funding and grant programs. It would be a larger pool of money to draw from. And it would push those programs to fund a greater number of black women businesses. And if the funders continue to fund 99% white businesses, that can be litigated in the courts and in the court of public knowledge.
It means lots of discrimination lawsuits will be filled moving forward!!

How much goes to indigenous Americans? Zero!!!
Imagine "pushing for equity" (1:18) when you can start a business, and immediately own and control 100% of the equity. Are our people that slow?!?! Am I in the twilight zone or something?!?!
