The sportswear giant said a minimum of 30% of all new positions in the U.S. at Adidas and Reebok will be filled with black and Latino people and that it would finance 50 university scholarships for black students each year over five years.

It will never be enough because most of the gimmedats don’t want to work. They should just admit it, that they want everyone else to work so they don’t have to. That’s called slavery.

Ah, so now Blacks and Latinos can benefit from the slave labor and sweatshops in China and Vietnam. American Privilege! Systemic racism is fine if it’s against Asians, I guess.

Either they dont hire a bunch of people in the US, or they are planning a hiring freeze.

There are not enough black/Latino workers available to work a lot of jobs.

If this passes Constitutional review then we’ll know the Republic is officially dead.

And why should a white woman bring a white baby in the world when anyone with an ounce of intelligence sees what the demonic left is attempting? Either she will opt to bring in a biracial baby under the term “black” to get the benefits these companies are promoting (not just Adidas with hiring but million and maybe billions being pumped into the black community) or she will not reproduce at all. It is all part of the structure Dems want to achieve,

Totally illegal. But, hey, who the hell knows what Neil Gorsuch will ultimately do with it.

All large companies have diversity targets, what I bet is funny about this is it probably did not increase, their just advertising it.
