It would take a heart of stone ...

Multiply their puny take by the hundreds of thousands of “experts” raking it in from corporations and universities throughout Europe and the USA and ….

Small-time black and white DIE grifters squabble and split over money.

Race campaigners who set up a woke DEI organization together after witnessing a racist incident in a Starbucks parted ways after threatening to take legal action against each other.

Michelle Saahene and Melissa DePino watched as police arrested two black businessmen who asked to use the restroom of the coffee store in Philadelphia and filmed the interaction in 2018.

A white barista called the police and the men were led away in handcuffs. The incident sparked a change in Starbucks' bathroom police and also got the men an undisclosed fee in a settlement.

Both Saahene and DePino set up a DEI venture called Privilege to Progress together after the incident, which earned them hundreds of thousands of dollars in the wake of George Floyd's murder.

At their peak, they were charging $10,000 to speak at an event, and each earned more than $100,000 in 2021 according to the Los Angeles Times.

They set up a website and social media for the campaign, and pitched corporations to pay them to share their stories.

DePino, a marketing professional and liberal mother of two, explained that she wanted to make a difference after 'seeing racism on display right in front of her eyes'.

Health worker Saahene, who is black, worked with DePino, who was the vice president of the company, and the pair went on Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith.

They also worked together in 2020 with paid engagements at Google, Spectrum, Ikea, Yale, MIT, Tufts and the United Nations.

Both developed a friendship. Saahene house-sat for DePino and even had the code to her marijuana safe, [now, THAT’S trust} while the pair met each other's families.

Saahene lived for long stretches in Ghana, which she said made her feel empowered in her black skin, and started to question her role.

She said: 'I started to realize that I was the draw: my skin, my story. I was growing faster and thinking about this all at a deeper, more complex level.

'I told her the pain I was feeling about how we were making money off of this. Her responses were cold.'

They split the profits equally until Saahene suggested that she deserved a greater share because speaking about racism required more 'emotional labor' on her part.

She claims DePino disagreed and said that she did more of the background work – so they kept their profits split equally.

DePino said: 'She was setting boundaries. I respected them. I never told her to do anything more than what she wanted.

'If she wanted an equity model for pay, I would have been open to discussing that.

'She was also the president. I was vice president. So she could have instituted one on her own. I didn't know she felt so wronged.'

….

Don’t worry about poor, exploited Saahene, though: like Jessie Jackson, All Sharpton, and the thousands of milkers who’ve come before her, she’s moved on™ to a greater, even more lucrative partnership:

Saahene has since moved to Los Angeles to work with black activist, and calls herself a 'speaker, activist, model, and global inclusion strategist.'

She has spoken at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg about racism, healing and self-care and is organizing a six-day retreat for 'changemakers' at a Black-owned luxury hotel in Morocco.
