Target's diversity chief says 'white women' should take action against systemic racism and call out 'transgressions' in the post-George Floyd world - as retail giant tanks $12.5B in value amid botched Pride merchandise

Target's chief diversity and inclusion officer has suggested that white women should help tackle systemic racism in the workplace by using their voice more.

Keira Fernandez made the comment earlier this year, encouraging white women to speak up against transgressions 'so the woman of color in the room doesn't always have to.'

She then spoke to a white person on the panel, and made the claim that in certain spaces their voice would 'be heard differently than mine.'

Fernandez said: 'And that is why we're doing this work. That's why it's so important to have this conversation.

'But we also can't ignore the systemic history that got us here and then the things that we have to do differently to remove those barriers. Use your voice.'

Why not just say women?

Because they think white women are particularly evil and too selfish to speak out, I guess.

I thought we white women were supposed to quit being “saviors”, shut up, and let the BIPOC, lesbian, genderqueer, fat, disabled, homeless single mothers speak.

You should make up your mind.

My answer is No, either way.

How are white women the victims of systemic racism? Did this blithering idiot mean to say they are the victims of systemic misogyny?

Just like if you don’t vote for Biden, “You ain’t black”, if you aren’t single or lesbian, “You ain’t a woman.”

I did my part fighting racism during the scamdemic. As an old white lady, I gave up my white privilege, and stayed out of the line for the clot shots, so a black person could take my place.

I thought that white women were suppose to shut up or they are called racist pejoratives and their lives ruined.

They really need to make up their minds.

I quit shopping there when they allowed everyone to use the rest room that corresponded with their sexual ‘identity’.

I don’t need that crap in my life.

Why would any for-profit corporation need a title like "Diversity Chief"?

This nonsense brings zero value to the company and is nothing but an expense line.

This is the literal definition of "deadweight".

I suppose Target has employed a diversity chief to appease the WEF??

The WEF is nothing but a bunch of megalomaniacs.

Just what happens when human resources becomes the chief executive of a company. Seen it happening for decades and the result is ALWAYS the same.

“ Can’t wait for this fad to be over.‘

It won’t end and it will never change. Only destruction will end it.

The Left doesn’t create fads and it doesn’t create causes.

It creates religions.

Climate change, racism and diversity, LBGT-whatever+…just to name three religions they’ve created. They will hold on to these to the death, they will never back down, they will not give in. You can not change them, you can not reason a solution. They will destroy or be destroyed, there is no middle ground.
