A Question About Racism in the US

Let’s try this:

Name one racist institution in the US.

Your position is that the personal views of a CEO have no bearing on the culture of the company he/she leads?

Is this a joke?

False. Unbelievably false.

Based on your definition, none.

But the same would hold true in 1950 as well.

Not unless he makes it so. Cathy didn’t.

Denial. Unbelievable denial. One standard dude. Just one.

Not at all true. Practically every state government in the Deep South was a racist institution in 1950 and many corporations had policies which mostly were because of it. Woolworth’s for example.

You agreed with my definition of “institution”.

Name one.

the only way he can “make it so” by implementing policy?

Coke signed up for training. 1 course of 16000 had 1 slide that talked about being “less white”. A non required course.

Using your logic… Coke shouldn’t have a problem because they didn’t implement a policy for being “less white”

Show me a policy of the Deep South, state government, that did not allow the employment of black people.

Just one.

Private too

No. He didn’t do it any other way either. No town halls. No memos. No secret meetings.

It isn’t one slide.

I don’t have a problem with Coke. You do.

Coke didn’t make being “less white” policy. No townhalls. No memos. No secret meetings.

Agreed, sort of. And I don’t have a problem with Coke. I’m laughing at you (c).

Making written indoctrination available to all employees is much more of a townhall than “I believe marriage is between a man and a woman”.

Mmmmm.

Yes you do.

But neither do I. I don’t even have a problem with Chick-fil-A CEO personal statement. I do have a problem with anyone who believes CEOs don’t impact company culture outside of policy.

Former UBER CEO was run out of town because of the toxic culture of the company. They had a diversity and inclusion policy and yet had many many instances of harassment all the way up to the CEO

No, I really don’t. I am fascinated by how well it’s working. That’s all.

Impact? Sure. Establish? Not unless they really try. Cathy didn’t.

And? Correlation = Causation? :rofl:

I know how it works.

Dan Cathy says homosexual marriage.

A Chic-Fil-A employee in Pickles Gap Arkansas who happens to be homosexual gets fired.

SEE! YOU SEE! WE TOLD YOU!

Again, it’s working. I don’t understand why you keep denying it. Right out of the play book.

By the way, if you have any pull with The Ministry of Monuments, I’s like to throw Derek Bell’s hat in the ring.

If the leader of the company is also involved in perpetuating the issue… you bet they are correlated.

Perpetuating? :rofl::+1:t4:

So Valerie Love perpetuated the less white issue?

With any luck, in a few years we’ll be able to see what this latest evolution looks like. This may be the one!

Uh, yeah

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::+1:t4: I understand. The benevolent, patronizing white progs have a moral imperative to helicopter parent the poor, incapable BIPOCs.

Hamster with a “p”.
