Corporate America’s complete surrender to DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) standards and ESG (environmental, social and governance) efforts is only beginning to be exposed, as cowardly CEOs place greater importance on Corporate Equality Index scores issued by the left-wing Human Rights Campaign than they do the satisfaction of loyal consumers — see Bud Light.

One brand after another is suddenly in the headlines for selling out, sometimes costing them billions of dollars, as seen recently with Target and its “tuck-friendly” swimwear targeting children, and Best Buy seems eager to be next in line it seems.

O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) shared what looks to be screen grabs obtained by a citizen journalist that suggests Best Buy is excluding white applicants for a management training program.

“A Citizen Journalist has revealed Best Buy is partnering with McKinsey & Company on a Management Training Program. The program is not open to white applicants,” OMG tweeted.

According to the Dept. of Labor, “Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination in hiring, promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification, referral, and other aspects of employment, on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. This law is enforced by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).”

I am sure that the EEOC and DOJ will be on this ‘real soon now’.

Don’t have to have any particular skin color to see the “inequity” in this policy/program.

Unfortunately most of the buying public will remain blissfully unaware and ignorant of BB’s latest foray into discriminating against Whites. The MSM will make sure this story goes nowhere.

There used to be 3 of them with one in our town.

Now, there is only one store and not near us and by a ghetto in a town that had crime problems 40+ years ago.

So, we buy online from Amazon or Costco and get 99.9% of what we need at good prices and often next day delivery for free.

Probably closer to a decade for me.

The closest one shut down around that time.
