Try To Be Less White (page 6)

.... or good old fashioned white person?

Anony Mous, it appears you didn’t actually read the article. CocaCola provides training from a third-party training provider, and all of that provider’s online training courses are available but only some are mandatory. The course in question, which is indeed racist, is not listed among their mandatory training, it’s just available from the provider. If they actually endorsed the training course in question, they would have no reason to deny it.

@jeffro: perhaps read an actual journalistic piece: https://nypost.com/2021/02/23/coca-cola-diversity-training-urged-workers-to-be-less-white/

Multiple whistleblowers did allege it was required, the training in question was subsequently removed and DiAngelo herself said the training from CocaCola was in fact edited from the public LinkedIn training Snopes refers to.

Again, nowhere does CocaCola claim they didn’t provide the training and it is definitely likely some managers with left leanings required it. At best Snopes is trying to intentionally confuse the facts by not citing the multiple sources and only representing one side of the story by only going with what is in the LinkedIn training and taking a vague corporate statement at face value.

The New York Post, a conservative tabloid, isn't especially 'journalistic'. Someone - not just anyone but someone with a well-known agenda - went off about a stupid training course that wasn't mandatory. If there was evidence of some document saying 'staff have to do this specific training', you might have a point. But Borysenko's 'evidence' that the course was mandatory consists of a screenshot of a video that could be accessed on a training site. There's nothing of import whatsoever in this little storm in a teacup. It's just fodder for the usual conservative right-wing zealots versus 'progressive' left-wing nutters.

Jef, keep your blinders on.

It's the current 'right-on' fad. Mass psychosis.

Most of the people/companies that are pontificating this stuff are only doing it to sell their goods. No other reason springs to mind.

DeAngelo is selling courses.

You can see right through this charade. It's embarrassing.

I wonder what the next 'right-on' fad will be?

Whites should give their money to anyone not white.

John Brennan, ex CIA Chief laments that he is a white male. Cuckooooo

@Jeffro: the NY Post is one of the oldest newspapers founded by Alexander Hamilton. They are one of the few seriously journalistic investigating papers with one of the largest readership.

Look at their front page and look at the ratio of real vs useless celeb (tabloid) news, it’s better than Fox or CNN to say the least. I think the front page style of its paper (large photos with big text) indeed resembles a tabloid but they literally have a picture of Cuomo sexually harassing a subordinate on the front page, which is not tabloid news. The artistic style is a reason they (and tabloids) do so well, they don’t try to bury interesting stories such as Hunter Biden’s real pictures from his real laptop.

Leave Jeffro alone. This is too much for him. Cmon people!
