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.
Well, at least you wouldn’t be ‘white’......................
Right! Everyone trying to look good instead of being good.
i stopped drinking sodas years ago
letter sent to coke to confirm i will never drink one of their products again
I realized that being straight forward and to the point, may come across to strictly or commanding.
So I asked if I was coming across that way. And she answered no way, you have told me more in a half hour than I have learned here in twenty years.
So if I am helpful am I doing that wrong? /s
Just require white employees to wear “black face” just like the minstrel shows of old.
Last night I listened to some Yes and then topped off with “La Villa Strangiato” by Rush.
I’m in trouble now!
I wonder how many ghetto-rats are killed by accidental discharges vs actual murders. The US Army had a lot of accidental discharges until they replaced the 1911s with Berettas. These clowns have no firearms discipline at all.
They kill each other mostly.😎
Only thing to use Coke for is dissolving rust off rusty bolts.
Thank you for my new tag line.

If those generalities do stand for being “white” then anyone who actually cared for the welfare of blacks would try to make them more “white”.
This is all crap. And behind it as usual is the hand of the behavioral pseudoscientist, the Psychologist and his ilk. Their goal is a dysfunctional society so they they can demand more tax dollars to “solve it”. But they solve nothing and only create more problems.
There is no social problem that cannot be made worse by the presence of a social “scientist”.
Hmmm...
I’d join a boycott of Coca Cola except that it has already been about 25-years since I drank one...
What else do they have their fingers into that can be boycotted?
However, I will not join a transcott or a girlcott...
Remember when this was the image Coca-Cola wanted to have (from the commercial):
I’d like to build a world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow white turtle doves
I’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I’d like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
I’d like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
That’s a song I hear
Sing it along
Let the world sing today
Over and over
Pandering is disgusting. I work with all races especially blacks and none of us have a problem. I believe there are very divisive forces that have the agenda to stir things up because of thier insecurity, immaturity and leftist fantasy.
The Rachel Dolezal look.
Coke owns Dr. Pepper.
Yes. Fanta has the Coke version of Grape Soda.
