Coca Cola to employees: Be less white

I was beginning to worry about you being Woke. This is the most untrue statement in the whole thing. “Advancement” means what?

Did they?

There is zero chance this training was required by Coke. It was one of 16k courses Coke paid for. This “whistleblower” found that training browsing the curriculum and “assumed” coke “forced” them to take it.

They did. It’s a training service. Sign up for a free month and you will see. I did and I get access to everything.

Zero chance this training was forced.

Robin DiAngelo is a Queen of Kafkatrapping. The entire premise of White Fragility is one big Kafkatrap.

And where did she learn it? Feminism.

I love it when a circle is closed.

Did you “sign up my team”?

Emancipation, Freedmans Bureau, Gaining political power = Jim Crow

MLK, CRA was met with backlash. Obama generated Trump.

Martin Luther King: It was in the year of 1619 that the first slaves landed on the shores of this nation. They were brought here from the shores of Africa. Unlike the Puritan fathers who landed at Plymouth a year later, they were brought here against their wills. Throughout slavery, the Negro was treated in a very inhuman fashion. He was a thing to be used, not a person to be respected. He was merely a depersonalized cog in the vast plantation machine.

Martin Luther King: Certainly, the famous Dred Scott decision of 1857 well illustrates the status of the Negro during slavery, for it was in this decision that the Supreme Court of the nation said in substance that the Negro is not a citizen of this nation. He is merely property subject to the dictates of his owner. Even after his emancipation in 1863 the Negro still confronted oppression and inequality. It is true that for a period while the army occupation remained in the South under reconstruction rule, the Negro enjoyed a period of imminence and political power, but he was soon overwhelmed by the white majority.

Dr. Himelhoch: Has the legal victory won in the South created an irreparable breach between the races?

Martin Luther King: I would like to start answering that question by saying the initial response of the oppressor when the oppressed decides to rise up, is bitterness. That’s the initial response, and I think what we are experiencing in the South now is the necessary pain that goes along with the transition. It is true that we are facing tension in the South now that the channels of communication are closed. That’s quite true. By and large I would say there is some communication, but by and large the channels of communication are closed.

It’s 2021.

That’s right encouraged, not mandatory.

We have several of these courses from my big company.

No one is forced.

Have you ever worked for a large company?

No, I signed up for the one month free trial. Which turns to 19.99 a month.

With that trial I get access to everything. Seems like signing a team gets you team based pricing.

Do you think Coca Cola did it that way?

Convenient.

Would Trump have been elected if Obama wasn’t?

We have all kinds of diversity training from basic to specialized, and everything in between.

Everyone is required to take the basic, ho-hum generic diversity training.

After that it is up to you.

An inconvenient truth, for the Wokeish. I haven’t figured out one thing for sure yet.

Yes. Trump was about Clinton, not Obama.

This is basic.

100%.

There are many training sites that corporations use to access their library. Skillsoft, cornerstone, etc.

Corporations set required training and everything else is voluntary. People struggle taking mandatory sexual harassment/work place violence training. There is zero chance coke made the required training.

You think Coca Cola signed up 60k employees individually?

So what’s the purpose of this course period? Obviously someone thinks it’s a good idea for everyone to be less white.

Now if we could only get the blacks to be less black. That’s acceptable to say, right?

No. Coke paid LinkedIn a fee for their 60k employees to get access to that training. So if it is 19.99 for me… it was probably $5 per user for coke.

But that doesn’t matter. When you sign up you get access to the training entire site. All of it. You do not pay per course or pay for just 1000. You pay for the entire thing. It doesn’t matter if your per user price is $20 or $5.

Sure, sure. So it probably had nothing to do with White Fragility. Coca Cola probably paid for it to access office safety training.
