Coca-Cola forces employees to take 'white fragility' authors class on how to be 'less white'
2021-02-21
[National File] Coca Cola has forced employees to take a mandatory course on LinkedIn to learn how to be "less white," leaked images from a whistleblower reveal.

The images, reportedly leaked to Karlyn Borysenko by an internal whistleblower at Coca-Cola, show a course by Robin DiAngelo entitled "Confronting Racism" being taken by an employee at the company, with the logo showing in the top right hand corner of the page.

Coca-Cola employees are taught to be "less white" by the course, which implies that to be white is to be arrogant, defensive, ignorant, and oppressive. The course also claims that in the West, white children are socialised "to feel that they are inherently superior," and that "one-time workshops" on racism are not enough, claiming that people must be regularly indoctrinated by "anti-racism."

#20  When can I ask for a class for people of color to act "less black"?

Racist? Not any more than the "less white" bullshit. If you want me to act less Italian, then you're going to get punched.

#19  What the hell happened to strikes? Doesn't anybody strike anymore, except marxist professors?

Or boycotts? Aerated beverages were never good for anybody anyway.

#17  Mom said the people on her side of the family were French (out of New Orleans) and all the people on my father's side were jackasses.

#16  #14 And legitimate questions for anyone who owns even one share of KO are: (1) how does this increase shareholder value and (2) are you so overstaffed that employees of the company have time for this BS?

#15  Won't happen. Buffett will side with the Wokesters.

#14  KO is a major holding in thousands (maybe tens or hundreds of thousands) of widows and orphans trust funds. It is a major part of various index funds. It is one of Warren Buffet's biggest investments. It has been part of the DJ Index for over 30 years.

The management of KO, CEO Quincey, CFO Murphy and COO Smith need to be fired immediately. It would also be necessary to eliminate the Chief Legal Officer Gayton who is, I presume, spearheading this lunacy.

#13  There should be a nationwide online retailer that refuses to sell Woke corporations' crap. That would be a very large and profitable market niche

#12  Roger that on the colas, a sub-division of soft-drinks, I suppose.

#11  Make Coca Cola the best that you can and STFU about the rest of the woke, social justice B.S. In the long run you will do better with that business plan.

So stop purchasing Coke products last week.

#6  RC Cola is better anyway, especially with a Moon Pie.

#5  I gave up Pepsico products after CEO Indra Nooyi's stupid "America gives the world the middle finger" babble, so I guess I'll give up Coca-Cola products because they are giving whitey the middle finger.

#4  If, like me, you only dring cola because you can't stand coffee in the morning, here's the caffeine leaderboard.

#3  I guess they don't want to sell their product to an entire segment of the population they consider racist and privileged (in the model of their senior management).

#2  Long RC Cola

#1  I’ve been trying to kick my coke habit. I think this crap might be a stronger motivator than anything else.
