You asked what would happen if a company promoted “white supremacy”. That would be bad because “white supremacy” is inherently bad. Companies promoting “workplace inclusiveness” is an inherently good thing. When done correctly, of course.
Feel free to call this blatant racism by any name you like, it remains blatantly racist material.

At face value, yes, the training in question seems problematic. I would need to see the entire thing to make a complete judgement.
In what possible context is this not racist?
To be less white is to:
-be less oppressive
-be less arrogant
-be less certain
-be less defensive
-be more humble
-listen
-believe
-break with apathy
-break with white solidarity

The fact that there is more to the training to provide context.
No amount of context is going to make that ditty not racist.

In the Woke context.
Then woke is racist.
Racism to combat racism is acceptable.
Not to sane people.

Do you want me to quote Marcuse again?
Substitute “To be less black is to:” How would that be received in today’s media environment?
Feel free to quote whoever you like, no skin off my nose.
You drink a lot of coke!
Why would you assume Coke had any idea that specific training class existed? Do you think they personally vetted all the classes before buying?
Really, shouldn’t your opprobrium be directed at LinkedIn? I’d say that had a responsibility to vette each class as it is added.
Well I can’t boycott them because I only drink what man is intended to drink, water, beer and scotch. Mostly water.

So when will they apologize and stop offering it?
LinkedIn or Coke?
Coke, they know it’s there now.
No it won’t
