Coca Cola to employees: Be less white

[JayJay]

@PurpnGold

That Twitter account is lying to you.

Coke is not “forcing” this training on its employees.

No ZeroHedge is lying.

The tweet shows Coca Cola said the exact opposite of what the ZeroHedge headline said they said.

But of course, since The Narrative that they are “forcing white employees to learn to be less white” has been firmly planted in the minds of many, to them, Coca Cola execs are of course just covering their asses.

PS I do find it amazing that a poster can post the exact statement, and still believe said statement says the opposite of what it actually says…despite the plain words being right in front of them.

That’s some AAA-rated Doublethink going on right there!

Companies promoting “workplace inclusiveness” is an inherently good thing.

Why?

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.

Need to see if there’s another face?

@Sknyluv

Nope.

It’s the only path to liberation and equity.

Inspiring racism, hate and division is big business for certain sectors of today’s left.

Usually this kind of thing comes back to bite businesses in the ass. I’m think that Coke will not see their sales increase after accusing their employees of being too white.

Yeah, nothing like insulting 70% of the population to cater to the remaining 30% to pump up sales.

As long as the racist material isn’t mandatory reading, only suggested, we’re all cool huh?

Would you be cool with a company suggesting their employees learn white supremacy?

Are “white supremacy” and “workplace inclusiveness” the same things?

That try not to be so white thing is blatantly racist. No different then white supremacy.

I think the point is that “white supremacy” and “ white inferiority” are opposite sides of the same coin. Any way you flip it, it comes down wrong side up.

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.

Have you taken this training?

I googled and the offending class has already been removed by LinkedIn so we should all be happy now. Well, except those who desire perpetual outrage, like libs, right?

If LinkedIn really wanted to help minorities with training classes, they should develop one to teach blacks to act more Asian.

Who ever came up with this is racist.

The resource was developed by Robin DiAngelo.

Who is white…

You misspelled woke.

@Sknyluv

Also, BLM singling out Blacks is not racist.

Why not?

[Bill.in.PA]

Cool.

When will they offer the sequels: Be less Asian, be less Black, be less Hispanic, etc.?

@Bill.in.PA

Cool.

Hopefully never.

That still doesn’t excuse peddling falsehoods. Coke didn’t “force” anyone to take that course. It’s in the press release your Twitter warrior posted

No, but if it were voluntary it seems some would be.

Is “be less white by being less oppressive, less arrogant, etc…” what you mean by “workplace inclusiveness”?

Raising awareness of the treatment of black people is not racist.

Raising awareness of the treatment of black people is not racist.

But that’s not really what BLM is doing. They are pointing to a few (statistically) incidents out of context (often making hero martyrs out of criminals) and broad brushing condemnation onto the whole white society with them. That makes it racist.

That’s certainly one way to look at it.

So in summary, Coke subscribed to LinkedIn’s training program. Coke likely did not vette the myriad classes available. This training was optional.

When Coke found out about the offending class, they talked to LinkedIn. LinkedIn removed the offending class.

To me, the problem lies with LinkedIn as they didn’t properly vette the class when it was submitted to be part of their curriculum. I can’t really blame Coke as they assumed the offered classes would be reasonable and no corporation will spend the time to vette thousands of classes that they don’t produce themselves.
