Woke Credit Cards? Chris Rufo Says American Express Launched Gross Critical Race Theory Program
NewsBusters ^ | 8/12/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

American Big Tech companies apparently aren’t the only ones pushing woke ideologies. American Express (AmEx) was allegedly exposed for instituting a vehemently anti-American Critical Race Theory training program for its employees.

Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow Christopher Rufo reportedly exposed how “AmEx executives created an internal ‘Anti-Racism Initiative’ that subjects employees to an extensive training program based on the core tenets of critical race theory.” The tenets included “‘systemic racism,’ ‘white privilege,’ and ‘intersectionality,’” according to alleged whistleblower documents obtained by Rufo. He reported in a tweet that the company has been using an outside firm to teach employees to “deconstruct their ‘race, sexual orientation, body type, religion, disability status, age, gender identity, [and] citizenship’ onto an official company worksheet.” The employees were then reportedly asked to “determine where they stand on a hierarchy of ‘privilege.’”

That’s part of plan - if you don’t toe the line, you can’t have a bank account or a credit card.

When all the financial institutions enforce a political code, the country has a social conformity score with rewards and punishments. This has been implemented by banks, payment companies and credit card companies with the approval of the government.

Therefore the government is doing it by proxy. That is in violation of the Constitution. The action is illegal, and the laws are invalid.

But don’t bother trying to get your rights back. In this country you are persecuted for your thoughts and words. (But if you kill a White cop you are glorified.)

CRT, SJW, BLM and similar racism relies on a fantasy land of lies, feelings and personal/cultural shortcomings. It is a cancer on our world.

All of Karl Malden’ commercials are so dated they won’t have to be redone.

When social credit scores arrive in the US, they will be an aggregation of all the social controls that already exist.

Exactly right. New, narrowly-focused apps are being built today and we already have hundreds of apps that can be used. Somebody will stitch all of them into a coherent social credit score platform.

Anybody who has posted on FR will get a score of zero.

How much of this stuff is really believed by the corporate heads and how much is it just paying the "Danegeld" Killing warned about. In the good old days of the 80s and 90s you might have to hire one of Jessie Jackson's friends or relatives to keep his gang from protesting at your corporate HQ.
