Many young white males face anti-white discrimination when seeking employment. There is a definite undercurrent in the country of highly dissatisfied white males with their prospects in the present corporate culture. A big potential block of voters for Trump.

Those managers may like to hear about environmental, social, and governance initiatives, for example, but corporate leaders should ask themselves whether it’s worth betting their own savings and homes on the legitimacy of ESG-related requests. It isn’t.

Executives of corporations beholden to DEI should pivot accordingly—while they still can.

and the pivot is to ESG and DEI is now a subset.

They just put on another mask.

I’ll believe it when I stop seeing blacks in every commercial.

State laws across the country hold officers and directors personally liable for knowing violations of the law, regardless of whether those decisionmakers thought that law-breaking would be profitable.

Plus, an open letter from 13 state attorneys general, published in July 2023, reminded corporate America that DEI-inspired discrimination is illegal.

Discrimination against 'people of color' is the same legally as 'discrimination' of 'people of whiteness'. DEI IS DISCRIMINATION... DISCRIMINATION IS AGAINST THE LAW.

If they are that stupid, then how did they ever attain to the level of “executive?” Never mind.

[Texas resident]

That and a lot of backlash from large stockholders.

My city’s school district is putting out feelers to start busing again because the schools have too many black chlidren or almost completely black district schools.

Throughout the hagiographical newspaper narrative nary a word is spoken why little white children are not “learning” alongside the blacks. Subjecting children to the current race flogging narrative that whites are inherently evil and racist and have caused all suffering in the world is not an inducement to learning.

Besides which, the violence in those schools has teachers scared. That information did make it into the newspapers narrative.

Woke is discriminatory by design. It pressures companies to hire based on politics instead of competency.

In the hospital I worked in for 25 years we had a few gays both male and female. Most of them did their job well in a professional manner. Their were a few malcontents as in all hospitals. Most of the malcontents were straight.

The best nurse I worked with was gay. I liked working with her because she always did her job correctly and quickly.

Companies always want to avoid controversy. And the Left gets to decide just what is “controversial”, it gives them The “Heckler’s Veto”.

IMO-—IF YOU ARE SMART enough to be CEO of a SUCCESSFUL entity-—YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW that MERIT IS WHAT MADE THAT HAPPEN -—

NOT D E I.

Black people buy stuff too. If it bothers you that much cut the cord, go to streaming, and get an adblocker.

[mewzilla]

Oh, right.

We’re supposed to believe they suddenly give a 💩.

SNORT.

I’m still betting that most of them are still doing it. They just changed the names.

Trust but verify.

[mewzilla]

It isn’t just that black people buy stuff.

Duh.

It’s that corporate America seems to think that blacks are more brand conscious and brand loyal.

Whether that’s true or not...

It’s certainly what big biz is hoping.

[mewzilla]

Big Biz also seems to think that blacks are dumb enough to buy stuff just because it’s being advertised by someone with a similar skin color.

I wouldn’t pin the success of my business model on that.

[dfwgator]

Or Advertisers see black people as easy marks.
