Coca-Cola employees were urged to be “less white” as part of the company’s alleged diversity training — but the material was yanked offline following a viral whistleblower post.

The “Confronting Racism” course in question was offered by LinkedIn Education and allegedly utilized by the soft-drink titan.

“In the U.S. and other Western nations, white people are socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because they are white,” reads one of the slides, allegedly sent from an “internal whistleblower” and (posted on Twitter) by YouTube commentator Karlyn Borysenko.

Cultural suicide Revisited...question...Why would Coke-Cola risk angering so many customers? Names of those pushing this madness of whiteness/skin-coloring's would be interesting to see.

Coca-Cola employees were urged to be “less white”

….and their customers to be more obese.

I drink water instead of that crap. CocaCola is racist because their products cause obesity and diabetes among people of color.

When I told my wife about this, she declared that our house will no longer purchase Coke products.

Turns out they own a LOT of products. Among them...
Coca-Cola (Coke)
Diet Coke
Coca-Cola Zero
Sprite
Fanta
Dasani
Smartwater
Minute Maid
Simply Orange
...and a whole lot more.

Coca Cola Confirms Training Employees ‘Try To Be Less White’

They’re not to big to fail. Who wants to drink a cup of sugar anyway?

One wonders what they mean by being "less white"? What specific behaviors would that entail? Given some of the alleged characteristics of "whiteness" that I've read about, it would mean showing up late for work (punctuality); being rude (politeness); using bad grammar and spelling, or speaking a non-English language in the workplace (the primacy of English); being illogical (logic is said to be an indicator of whiteness); and doing bad math (the insistence that there is only one correct answer to a math problem is also said to be an indication of whiteness).

So, abandoning what we have been told are the characteristics of whiteness would create an intolerable work environment. I guess that's the plan.

“In the U.S. and other Western nations, white people are socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because they are white,”

Pure horse manure (without the fertilizing ability).

Democrats and their followers in the media and in ‘woke’ corporations, are into denying the nature of humans.

Denying the diversity of humans, anatomically and biologically, is anti-science and unnatural.

Which makes democrats and their cohorts. deniers of science. They don’t follow the science. They are all hypocrites.

Nature created whites and blacks and all races. If any condemnation is going to happen, then, democrats need to change the nature of things.

BTW, nature also created the different genders, aka: male and female, and no amount of denial and/or political correctness is going to change the fact that, we’re all the products of nature. There is a he and a she, no matter how much democrats want to change the facts.

I truly don’t get these stories like “_____ slammed by critics,” “Twitter angry about ______,” or “_______ outrages _______.”

Invariably they’re about corporations making decisions that piss people off. Companies fully discount the minimal impact before making their moves and all the outrage genuine or manufactured never leads to a reversal. Unless it’s New Coke vs. Classic Coke, where the product change itself got a failing grade.

[Lurker]

That’s funny right there.

“In the U.S. and other Western nations, white people are socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because they are white,”

Is that why the left keeps insensately keeps telling us that we are inherently superior because we are white.

Even the KKK and AB does not obsess as much race as the left does. Sick people.

So the solution to racism is not racism?
