Rev. Al Sharpton on Monday announced a boycott of companies eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs, saying the effort will be in the spirit of the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.

Speaking from the Metropolitan AME Church, Sharpton said his organization, the National Action Network, is calling upon all Americans, regardless of their race or gender, to boycott companies that will no longer support DEI.

“Why do we have DEI? We have DEI because you denied us diversity, you denied us equity, you denied us inclusion. DEI was a remedy to the racial institutionalized bigotry practice in academia and in these corporations. Now, if you want to put us back in the back of the bus, we gonna do the Dr. King-Rosa Parks on you,” Sharpton said as those gathered cheered.

Sounds fine to me. And we can invert the game, and boycott those which keep it. Let the market decide.....

Al Sharpton is a professional Black. he is an American disgrace and enemy

[Jonty30]

On the plus side, Bidon forgot to pardon him. :)

He could be dead man walking over his taxes.

[kiryandil]

“rebrum al” should worry about paying his taxes instead of running his lying mouth.

“Al Sharpton is a professional Black.”

Nah, I’m sure there are many black Americans who hate his endless schtick. He’s nothing but a race hustler and race baiter who shakes down companies.

I wonder how he makes a living. Who would pay him?

[Whatever Works]

Time to start boycotting the race baiters: Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, etal.

Good, it won’t work. I want to see a poll of the attitudes of “people of color” toward DEI. I would find it quite insulting if I were in their position.

[Flaming Conservative]

Ha! Good luck with that! Americans are tired of the incompetence that DEI has created and promoted.

He is a professional negro. He is Black for a living

The folks of which you speak are the Afro Heritage minority- minority, the antithesis of the Black Minority-majority.
