Not everyone just white people 
. That aside… the training is to harsh and thus will not get consumed. The intention may have been educational but the delivery was adversarial. I would be the first to advocate against training that tells someone to be less “insert race here”
Is it acceptable to say? Not really. However history tells us that exactly what happens. Jamal’s don’t get their resumes looked at… dreadlocks aren’t allowed for workplaces or wrestling matches. Etc.
Small thinking…
Coke paid for access to a library of training. 60k employees don’t all have the same training needs and desires. Have a training library actually cuts down costs of training because employees can take them while sitting at their desk and don’t need to travel to in person.
I bet coke also has an internal training site for the important stuff (harassment/workplace violence/cyber)
I agreed with you. I bet this is all just a big coincidence.
Diversity and inclusion…
Why 
?
Eric D. July, aka Young Rippa59, is on several social media platforms, including YouTube. He’s a black man from Dallas who reserves his most choice words and insults like “crackheads” for young, white liberals. If not young, doesn’t Robin diAngelo fit the description of white liberal?
Although EDJ cites conservative Thomas Sowell more often, Malcolm X felt the same about them. Somehow I’m not seeing nonwhite or outside the U S born & raised employees—some of whom are working two jobs—enthusiastic about more diversity training.
Not big company basic. At least my large company.

Not mine, either.
Do you work for Coca Cola?
Be patient. Some companies are more Woke than others. Coke was traumatized by Jackson.
Let’s see no.
ATT. (34 years an employee)
Number 1 in diversity.

Then “muh company” is not really relevant, is it?
Racism in Missedachoochoo? Say it isn’t so!
High five for this now former staff member who had the courage to write this from the heart resignation letter & turn down the settlement.
When my daughter is looking at colleges in two years—if she opts to do so—I will not only say no, but Hell No! should she consider Smith.
No…by signing up, Coca Cola get a portal through which employees can then sign up for these courses if they wish to.
And none of this coca-cola training for us.
Maybe the company has a cultural problem that doesn’t exist with ATT.
Allan
Right on.
Racism exists everywhere.
My supervisor is a black woman.
Would not pay for me to be a racist.
And that’s what it comes down to.
You can still be a racist and work for a large corporation,
Just need to be in the closet.
Allan
You just contradicted yourself and agreed with me. Have a nice day.
I’m reminded of the scene from The Life of Brian where Brian is telling the audience that they’re all individuals, all unique, and they respond in near total unison repeating his words back at him and agreeing … only one guy rejects the teaching loudly saying that he’s not.
She still had the temerity to act like she was surprised it went down that way.
