It’s not a conspiracy.
So you know something that Valerie doesn’t?
It’s not education, its not politics… so its culture… right?
Green Mountain ultimately.
I once looked at the history of their corporate name and while it wasn’t comedy it was still Dilbertesque. Consider …
Btw, earlier I cited 7-Up and not Sprite because 7-Up is in the same company as Dr Pepper and Sprite is Coca Cola.

The part where there is something wrong with my skin color.
Instead of telling everyone how to be less of what they are how about we start promoting the idea of living life to its full potential…
I think conservatives such as myself just thought all the kids graduating with ridiculous degrees like lesbian dance theory and intersectionality would just learn the hard way they would be unemployable. Wrong they all went into HR.

Do you ever feel like the guy screaming at the clouds with all your “explanations”?
For many, that what is being seen.
Well there goes the polar bears drinking Coca Cola ad campaign.

Only white people exhibit those characteristics? Ok then. Black people are perfect and don’t need training or improvement in anything.

I’m glad in my occasional job searches when Coca Cola openings were listed I didn’t apply. This is discriminatory.
So, if your origin is everything from European to North African to European and mixed race peoples from places like Hawaii to Mexico and other Latin American countries, Coca Cola doesn’t want you? At least not as is? The last assumption is priceless, assuming there is a “white solidarity”.
White peoples of Irish descent are probably not going to be on the same page as Ashkenazi Jewish or North African whites. Could Coca Cola have taught new employees to express certain qualities like humility and open mindedness without throwing politics into the mix?
■■■■ penalizing employees for origins that are beyond their control.

No it’s stupid
“Break with white solidarity”
This statement makes the assumption that there IS one when white peoples may have a variety of ethnic origins and not be on the same page about anything.
Yeah that’s what I thought the whole
“I dream of a world where people are judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”
Thing was all about.
Silly me.
Seriously the morons who come up with this kind of stupid ■■■■ have got to be either lunatics, the biggest racists in the country, or both. (I m going with both).

Inclusion is great! Why not include nonwhite actors or biracial ones or mixed couples in advertising?
Travel south of the border or to places like Hawaii and the Philippines, many of those populations are racially mixed.
But why penalize anyone for factors beyond their control, or assume white peoples have a monopoly on negative qualities like arrogance?
Lesbian Dance Theory?
Some of these degrees sound silly. But I’m surrounded by people with various science degrees, and they’re no more sensible than that Ethnic Dance Major in H R.
Maybe the H R rep keeps her mouth shut about such choices like international adoption (seriously, the garbage that’s been confided to me about different peoples and choices would raise the hair of any reasonable person). And this is by individuals with science degrees whose coursework isn’t easy.
Many don’t even clean up after themselves in the eating areas or bathrooms. Dude, are you trying to grow your own microbes in here? Conduct your own experiments?
A practical degree does not necessarily make anyone more employable or a joy as a coworker.
We each choose our paths, go our way, encounter those whose paths we cross and personally deal with each other on what ever level the situation dictates. If you are a Christian, they are your “neighbors” and you treat them as such? I’d say that the goal isn’t to be less white, it’s to actually be a Christian…where The Lord Jesus is your role model of how you should interact.
“…lunatics, the biggest racists in the country, or both. (I m going with both).”
Me too.
Only difference between racists now and during Martin Luther King, Jr.’s time is rather than the obvious, like use of the “n” word, or No Blacks Here type signs on businesses, it’s more covert.
It’s assuming black people got accepted into university or jobs because of Affirmative Action and not their own talents or efforts. It’s assuming, as in the C C training, negative qualities can only come from white people. It’s not applying anti discrimination equally to all groups—wanna be Asian, even with a stellar GPA, and apply to Hahvahd?
It’s triple s—snide, sneaky and subtle, and initiated by those who don’t practice the acceptance and tolerance they preach.

When I was a kid in the 60’s and 70’s I could have sworn the idea was (and it was a good idea) to eliminate barriers between people based on skin color.
My dad used to say something along the line of “we are all different, individually and as a group. Everyone has their own unique cultures and traditions and we need to celebrate and learn from all of that…but we as people should always remember that it’s not your skin that makes you who you are it’s your heart and your soul. We re all different but we ve all got way more in common to bring us all together.”
Dad was way more articulate…but the key there is the part about us all being defined by our heart and soul.
We as a society after decades of trying to bring people together regardless of race…seem today to be hellbent on separation because of race all over again.
Dumbest thing I ve ever seen.

Not at all. The willful blindness and sad denials are amusing.
