Is Coca Cola sponsoring racism? That's the claim. You be the judge.
‘Try To Be Less White’
When I first saw this story I was highly skeptical.
However, the training course is available online and Coca Cola is doing its best to try to back down from the course.
Here's the course Confronting Racism, with Robin DiAngelo
In this course, Robin DiAngelo, the best-selling author of White Fragility, gives you the vocabulary and practices you need to start confronting racism and unconscious bias at the individual level and throughout your organization. There’s no magic recipe for building an inclusive workplace. It’s a process that needs to involve people of color, and that needs to go on for as long as your company’s in business.
The free into above does not show the ending slide "Try to be less white" but what you can see is galling enough.
The video Tweet by @DrKarlynB shows more of the damning slides.
Coca-Cola Whitewash
Backlash
Late Sunday evening NewsWeek reported Coca-Cola, Facing Backlash, Says 'Be Less White' Learning Plan Was About Workplace Inclusion
Coca-Cola, facing mounting backlash from conservatives online, has responded to allegations of anti-white rhetoric after an internal whistleblower leaked screenshots of diversity training materials that encourages staff to "try to be less white."
A Coca-Cola spokesperson confirmed that the course is "part of a learning plan to help build an inclusive workplace," but also noted that "the video circulating on social media is from a publicly available LinkedIn Learning series and is not a focus of our company's curriculum."
Coca-Cola Logo
The Coca-Cola logo is on training snapshots in the video Tweet.
If Coca-Cola did not authorize and pay for the the training, the slides would not have their logo, Karlyn would be in deep legal trouble, and Twitter would have removed the Tweet.
Who in the hell is reviewing their training materials?
Candance Owens
Best selling author Candance Owens had this to say.
Owens is Founder of the @BLEXIT organization. "Black people don’t have to be Democrats— still."
Coke Is Racist
The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Salon, and Washington Post have no coverage of this.
All the top sites plus Coca-Cola all want to sweep this under the rug.
Why Trump Nearly Won
Please recall Politically Correct Educators Vote to Rename 44 SF Schools Including Washington and Lincoln
Also note The Dumbing Down of America is Poised to Accelerate.
If you are looking for a reason why millions of people voted for Trump, look no further.
I intended to do a post on why Trump nearly won but this post will suffice.
Every bit of this is a complete outrage. It is why Trump won in 2016. Had he toned things down a bit in 2020 he probably would have been reelected.
Perfect. Next time I go to the office, I’ll bring a Popeye’s fried chicken sandwich, cornbread, collard greens and grape soda. I’ll just let people know that I’m being less White. I can’t imagine any issues.
I still plan to act like Ward Cleaver.
Hard on the beaver?...
And he never thought to look at himself I’ll bet.
I try.
We're NOT teaching 'white is better' because we don't value 'people who are whiter' in white cultures.
This is self inflicted crap that people of color do to themselves - then blame on us.
It's the same crap with black people buying wigs and using chemicals on their hair to 'look more white'... and some even use lightening agents on their skin to look more white. It's 'whiteface' and it's culture appropriation. And it's insulting.
The chic consultant getting rich on this, Robin DiAngelo, wrote a book, “White Fragility,” which teaches that whites are evil racists and can never not be racist. And now she consults on this crap, raking in zillions. That book needs to be burned. She got her PhD in “multicultural education ,” whatever that is.
And libs think she and her book are the 2nd coming.
Her thesis is if someone says uou are racist, and you defensively say, “No, I’m not,” that’s proof of your racism. Proof. For real.
Is Dr Pepper Owned by Coke or Pepsi?
"Dr Pepper is a popular soft drink that claims to be the oldest major soft drink in America. Many people wonder if Dr Pepper is a Coca-Cola or Pepsi product. The truth is that Dr Pepper is owned by neither Coke nor Pepsi, even though some Coke and Pepsi plants bottle it."
"Dr Pepper is one part of a larger conglomerate, called Keurig Dr Pepper. It’s owned by American company Mondelez and Austrian company JAB Holdings. The larger corporate entity also owns many other brands, such as Keurig, Cinnabon, Canada Dry, Snapple and Kahlua"
Love Dr. Pepper.
That and rootbeer, or clear sodas. That is all I like in sodas anyway.

For some reason I switched from Dr. Pepper to Walmart’s Dr. Thunder and now I can’t bring myself to ever buy Dr. Pepper again.... I think I’m just too cheap.
Won’t be patronizing anything the manufacture, another for my list of DON’TS
Woke A Cola.
And Shawn King.........................
Being white, if I worked at Coke, I would be looking for an excuse to sue them. It is totally racist and a great invitation to sue.
