Former MSNBC anchor Joy Reid is pushing wild new claims about the fall of the Roman Empire.
According to Reid, the Roman Empire collapsed because it “suppressed its diversity.”
Reid made the claims while arguing that the United States will fall in the same way unless the American people embrace Marxism-rooted “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI).
The former “ReidOut” host, along with left-wing political commentator Wajahat Ali, criticized corporations like Walmart and Target on Thursday for scaling back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
The companies have revised their divisive policies during President Donald Trump’s administration.
Reid claimed that businesses and countries need diversity.
She alleges that DEI not only helps countries thrive, but America needs the far-left ideology to survive as a nation.
She compared Trump’s America to the Roman Empire and Europe and warned that only “white folk” will be left.
During a live Substack video, Reid said:
“If you take that away and try to distill us just down to white folks, we’ll be like Europe, an aging, slowly dying former empire.
“The Roman Empire didn’t survive because it didn’t have enough strength in its diversity.
“It suppressed its diversity, and it died.
“If the U.S. wants to be the Roman Empire, keep voting the way you voting, y’all.
“Keep voting for people like Trump.”

Earlier in the podcast, Reid argued corporations appealing to white populations would essentially be targeting customers aged 60 and up.
She described those “white folk” as a “finite quantity” that are “going to die.”
“If you’re under the age of 20 right now, your generational group, the Gen Alpha group, are already majority non-white,” Reid said.
“So it’s fait accompli.
“In 2045, the United States will be a country that no longer has a white majority.”
She continued, “We are essentially a Latin American country, and we’re going to look more like Latin American countries, which we kind of are, right?
“We’re going to look more like our region, where most people will be brown, and the majority will not be white.
“Texas is already there. California is already there.
“The whole country is going in that direction.”
Prior to being let go from MSNBC, Reid frequently attacked white people as a voting bloc on her show.
On the network, Reid blamed white women for then-Vice President Kamala Harris losing the election in 2024.
