Manned up. Impressive. Take a bow brother. :-) [Reply]
Coca-Cola isn't just doing this internally—they are demanding all their outside contracted law firms who do any work for them must follow their mandates on diversity/equity for hiring and must document proof. They require quarterly reporting that shows they have Alaskan Natives, Native American, LBGQT and more, showing 30% are from diverse groups and half must be Black.
So what if there is a locally owned bottling plant, will they have to comply? If so this could affect truckers and on down the chain we go.
This is just the beginning—these big crony capitalist corporations are all part of WEC Great Reset. They are calling it stakeholder capitalism. Many of them of them are now getting positions and influence in Biden admin with Kerry working for Schwab's agenda. He talks how this is the market working and that there's money to be made but it's oligarchy/plutocracy working. None of it is free market especially with rolling lockdowns destroying small businesses leaving the big guys intact. The state is merely outsourcing this stakegholder agenda using a public-private model where corporations are merged with the state. That's classic fascism. No wonder they kept calling Trump a fascist. Can't make it up. But it's not funny.

I understand quotas- not saying I agree, but they seem at least defensible as a practice to equalize outcome without denigrating any particular group. But how does one defend vitriolic rhetoric?
What would the response be if major corporations advised employees to "be less black" and specified a list of insulting stereotypes? How is the crap in the original post any different than the following?
Try to be less black:
* give your kids real names
* use standard American English
* pull your pants up
* pass eighth grade math [Reply]

Thank you. And I agree.
If you replace "black" with "white" and it feels wrong. then it is wrong both ways.
Flip the script
I would like to know how blacks feel when it is described as: We are going to lower behavior standards in school because you are black. [Reply]
