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.
I saw Earth Wind and Fire in their heyday, 1981. The audience was a great mix of black, white and whatever. We love the music, not the color of the skin.
The other day, I saw a TV show about Hitsville, the Motown studio’s. Barry Gordy and Smokey Robinson both spoke about transcending race.
Personally I prefer 70’s R&B over virtually every other type of music.
I don’t know how to be less white, but I do know how to buy less Coke.
WTH is wrong with these a-hope corporations? Their board of directors are this flipping ignorant!? They don’t look into things before making their employees do training?
This is outrageous!
Not only tell them to act less black, but provide a list of assumptions or assertations about the negative character traits of all black people.
Class action lawsuit time!
If I want to get in touch with my feminine side, I reach for my wife. If I want to be less white, I reach for the black shoe polish and a rag.
Sue them for discrimination and being a racist hate filled company.
Their “teaching” is outright hate speech.
I want to get down with some real soul. Maybe some Al Jarreau.
Tell them you identify as a PoC.
First off, I’m wondering if the Coke Company has segregated bathrooms? Whites Only cafeteria? Black folk only hired for cleaning?
Second, I been thinking about this.
I can be less white if I stop paying my taxes, spend my whole paycheck on lottery tix and acrylic nails, stop blaming myself for my failures and find others to blame, steal my neighbor’s shoes, and tell my kids to have many illegitimate babies and demand tax dollars to pay for their lifestyles.
What else can we do to be less white?
out damn spot, out!
In the first month of this year, 28 whites have been murdered, and the suspects are black. There may be even more cases. The victims range in age from 3 years to 64. (story at vdare.com)
Coca-cola, other companies, and universities are stoking hatred towards whites. The violence is going to get worse, but it will not be reported except as small stories on local news outlets.
OK.....er I’ll give it a try in honor of black history month.....is it still bad to wear black face makeup?? OK Why is it not acceptable now? What color should I try to be?
F Coke
This country becomes more embarrassing every day.
My guess is that watermelon and fried chicken are on the CocaCola cafeteria menu everyday.
Al Green.......................
Some woke-ite just assumed that things go better with coke.
Smooth...
Stop buying coke products..we cannot reward this type of behavior
