Is Coca Cola sponsoring racism? That’s the claim. You be the judge.
‘Try To Be Less White’
When I first saw this story I was highly skeptical.
However, the training course is available online and Coca Cola is doing its best to try to back down from the course.
🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: Coca-Cola is forcing employees to complete online training telling them to "try to be less white."

Here’s the course Confronting Racism, with Robin DiAngelo
In this course, Robin DiAngelo, the best-selling author of White Fragility, gives you the vocabulary and practices you need to start confronting racism and unconscious bias at the individual level and throughout your organization. There’s no magic recipe for building an inclusive workplace. It’s a process that needs to involve people of color, and that needs to go on for as long as your company’s in business.
The free into above does not show the ending slide “Try to be less white” but what you can see is galling enough.
The video Tweet by @DrKarlynB shows more of the damning slides.

Backlash
Late Sunday evening NewsWeek reported Coca-Cola, Facing Backlash, Says ‘Be Less White’ Learning Plan Was About Workplace Inclusion
Buy New $59.99(as of 03:18 EST – Details)Coca-Cola, facing mounting backlash from conservatives online, has responded to allegations of anti-white rhetoric after an internal whistleblower leaked screenshots of diversity training materials that encourages staff to “try to be less white.”
A Coca-Cola spokesperson confirmed that the course is “part of a learning plan to help build an inclusive workplace,” but also noted that “the video circulating on social media is from a publicly available LinkedIn Learning series and is not a focus of our company’s curriculum.”
Coca-Cola Logo
The Coca-Cola logo is on training snapshots in the video Tweet.
If Coca-Cola did not authorize and pay for the the training, the slides would not have their logo, Karlyn would be in deep legal trouble, and Twitter would have removed the Tweet.
Who in the hell is reviewing their training materials?
Candance Owens
Best selling author Candance Owens had this to say.
If a corporate company sent around a training kit instructing black people how to “be less black”, the world would implode and lawsuits would follow.
I genuinely hope these employees sue @CocaCola for blatant racism and discrimination. https://t.co/07OPZouEcV

Owens is Founder of the @BLEXIT organization. “Black people don’t have to be Democrats— still.”
Kendall Jenner launched a tequila brand this week and faced immediate, vicious backlash for culturally appropriating Mexicans.
I honestly can’t comprehend how stupid and unbearable American woke-society is becoming.

Coke Is Racist
Try to be less black.
Try to be less Asian.
Try to be less Indigenous.Can we say that? No?
Then why can Coca Cola tell their staff to be less white?#cokeisracist

My thanks to Coca-Cola for finally giving me the reason to quit drinking Diet Coke – which for health reasons you should not be drinking anyway.#CokeIsRacist pic.twitter.com/hBeYX5jwnj

The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Salon, and Washington Post have no coverage of this.

Why Trump Nearly Won
Please recall Politically Correct Educators Vote to Rename 44 SF Schools Including Washington and Lincoln
Also note The Dumbing Down of America is Poised to Accelerate.
If you are looking for a reason why millions of people voted for Trump, look no further.
I intended to do a post on why Trump nearly won but this post will suffice.
Every bit of this is a complete outrage. It is why Trump won in 2016. Had he toned things down a bit in 2020 he probably would have been reelected.

Tengen: As soon as I saw the title I knew Robin DiAngelo was involved. She's made a fortune pushing this narrative, between her book and exorbitant consulting fees. The US likes to scapegoat so this latest phenomenon isn't surprising.

Excellent observations by Tengen and Eddie (slightly edited to adhere to Twitter length restrictions).
Anonymous Comment From a Reader
It is all over universities now to the extreme. People lose their jobs without any due process if they say anything out of line with the accepted dogma even if you say it outside of work.
Corporations are following along as they have to for PR and marketing purposes.
A serious Trump could have spoken out against this and tried to bring people along to a sensible consensus. Instead, he played to the base and turned of people who might have been won over. Polls shows that most Americans do not like the Politically Correct or cancel culture but they are being run over by the diversity and inclusion masters.
This is like a mixture of McCarthyism and the Cultural Revolution in China. There are some quotes from Orwell that describe perfectly the erasure of history and the felling of statues.
San Francisco is changing the names of school from Washington and Lincoln.
This is getting out of hand and it is destructive.
