Indeed, and if your CEO is picking vendors based on the vendor’s diversity rather than who delivers the best product/service for the best price, then your CEO has betrayed their fiduciary obligations to the company.

Isn’t it Ms Brewer’s job at Sam’s Club to get the best possible product/service at the best possible price?

I have long been suspicious that "Sam's Club" was created for the specific purpose of discriminating against blacks, but in such a manner that you couldn't readily prove that this was the purpose for which it was created.

Sam's Club's operating rules pretty much preclude the low class sort of criminal element from getting into their stores. By requiring people to be a "member" they filter out the bulk of those petty thieves that plague other stores, most of whom are black.

I suspect they have picked this Black Female with the chip on her shoulder to run the place as a means of further distancing themselves from the claim that they are deliberately filtering out mostly black clientele.

By letting her run it, (which let's face it, doesn't require much actual work or thinking now that it has been set up. ) they can defend themselves against an assertion that the whole business model is inherently discriminatory against blacks.

I've been suspecting this for awhile, and I see that the day to day operations of this company having been handed over to a black female as evidence in support of my theory.

Nobody argues against the fact that there needs to be diversity at the top of large companies . . .

Bull pucky.

What we need are qualified people at the top of corporations and government.

NO. We don't need qualified people. We need competent (at least) people. "Qualified" is a regulatory or bureaucratic concept. It need have nothing whatever to do with actually doing the job. "Competent" is where reality slaps the bureaucrat in the face.

The term “racism” was invented by communists. Leon Trotsky was one of the first to use it. When whites engage in favoritism toward other whites (and therefore discrimination against non-whites), it’s called “racism”. When other groups engage in favoritism, it’s called “ethnic solidarity”. When you buy into these word games, it’s called being a useful idiot.

Racist is an interesting word, after all who are the real racists? A person that loves their race, is proud of all it’s accomplishments, wants to live with their own kind and preserve their heritage? Or is a racist someone that is trying to destroy someone’s heritage through mass foreign immigration, diversity, multiculturalism and race mixing?

I just did a little experiment. I looked down at my hands typing this and noticed they are light skinned. I then ran into the bathroom and looked in the mirror... I’m white!

Through no fault or benefit of my own I was born Caucasian. I didn’t ask to be here; I just was/am. And Lo and behold, I am a white male and prefer women.

So when Rosalind looks across a table and sees me, just what the Hell am I supposed to do about that?

The whole world hates white people.

People need to think a minute before they say anything. It used to be, “You’re black; you’re no good.” Now they say, “You’re white; you’re no good.”

It’s just as wrong.

Yup.

Anyone who busies themselves with this sort of thing cannot have the stock-holders best interest at heart.
