Backlash is growing for the CEO of Sam's Club after she discussed her dislike for dealing with white men on CNN.
BPR reported Sunday that the company's black, female CEO Rosalind Brewer planned to call a supplier she met with because she was disgusted that his management staff was filled with all white males.
It was more important to Ms. Brewer that a staff be racially and gender diverse rather than the best people be picked for their jobs. A practice she admitted to CNN's Poppy Harlow she practices herself.
The president and CEO of WalMart Stores Inc., who owns Sam's Club, Doug McMillon said the company supports Ms. Brewer and added that they ask their suppliers "to prioritize the talent and diversity of their sales teams."
"Roz [Brewer] was simply trying to reiterate that we believe diverse and inclusive teams make for a stronger business. That's all there is to it and I support that important ideal," he added in the statement.
Since the story broke angry customers have called for a boycott of the company until such time as Brewer is fired, apologizes or the situation is otherwise rectified.
Naturally the left, who would be going out of its mind if a white male suggested an all black female executive team had to be diversified, cannot understand what all the anger is about.
Goodbye walmart & Sam I'm boycotting you. This is how businesses go down. I dont want you to have my white money. Plenty of others places to shop.
Additionally I'm sick and tired of smelling your Chinese merchandise. Walmart and Sam's will just have to get along with the business they can glean from the shoplifting minorities.
Lots of luck. (You'll surely need it. Too bad Sam Walton's dead) Who wants to do business with an outfit that had Hillary Clinton on their Board of Directors?
Why Walmart?
Wal-Mart is today nothing but a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank of China, and the Chinese government. Not on paper but de-facto. F’em!
“that we believe diverse and inclusive teams make for a stronger business”
Unless they are 100% black or female, then we will pretend like we dont notice.

Doesn't address workplace discrimination, but a good start.
Maybe to busy, eh?
We just got a Cosco in my area....I'll go there.
“Why Walmart?”
Walmart and SAMS are the same company.
An all black or all female team IS considered “diverse.” A team that is 80% white, 20% minority is not “diverse.” A team that is 100% black, (or female, or Latino, or illegal, or gay,) IS “diverse.” “Diversity” doesn’t mean what most whites think it means. Diversity means NO whites, or no white males.
Maybe Sam shoulda tried that "merit" concept, they just mighta got a different result.
I know I always get along better with folks I have nothing in common with (double sarc).
Costco are big time progs as well, but then, it seems everyone is in on the game now.
At least Costco’s Kirkland brand is excellent and they apparently treat their employees exceptionally well.
She is a perfect example of what you get by hiring practices based on skin color instead of competence. A foolish bigot shooting off her mouth on television and falling sales. Sam’s club will never recover from this. Perhaps itnever occured to her that her customer base is primarily white males.
Bigotry is ugly and evil no matter what color it comes in. I for one avoid evil bigots whenever I find them. The last fifty in a row were negros.
When being the 'most qualified' will not get you the job, why try?
I went to that Gordon link ... I cannot even figure out where they have stores in the US. No address, nada. Stupid web people.
WalMart has turned the corner. With that attitude it must also have bought into the whole PC store and profits and marketshare are no longer their lodestar. WalMArt has entered upon the road to becoming the next generation mature Sears.
Let me get this straight:
She is very concerned about ‘diversity’ among her suppliers...with the exception of those suppliers that use slave labor in China.
It does not. And there is no evidence to back up the statement.
Will they hire staff to escort shoplifters to their cars and help them with their flat screens?
Complete duckspeak. Diversity improves NOTHING!
The new American motto: All whites must die!
