@TheListener: my point was that it was being taken out of the library. That is not a nothing burger. Go read some real literature, if you still can, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell and Steven Hassan’s books.
If you can’t read because school didn’t teach you anything about reading, try watching Citizen Kane, The Death of Stalin or Schindler’s List, the old 1984 movie or Animal Farm if you rather have an animated film.
today, i was watching a tv show and a black celebrity in quebec said that his latest incident of racial profiling was being asked questions by the police as he was walking in a quiet neighborhood at 2am while wearing a hoody.
then the other guest next to him validated his claim saying that she, as a white women, was never stopped like this by the police.
i became very frustrated and agitated.
We are sensitive to it because it’s the same techniques a cult uses. There is a reason many thinkers on the right and in the center are labeling this movement a religion or a cult of personality. In the early 20th century it is Lenin and Marx and Trotsky and Stalin, today it is AOC and Kendi and Jones. But they are not much different to the Elders and the COs.

Okay, I’ve now quoted three times that there are MULTIPLE witnesses, Coca Cola stated they “invited” their employees to do the training as part of an “extension” of their mandatory inclusiveness and anti-racism (anti-racism is defined as the belief that everyone that is not black is individually and systematically racist) training. The corporate statement is a lot of weaselwords, they removed the training later on. They did admit to requiring the racist anti-racist training, just that portion highlighted was somehow the only non-mandatory part.
Again, I already stated, they should fire or reprimand whoever included or required the racist anti-racist theory part of the training to take place, to my knowledge they have not done so.
All you have done is moved the goalpost. You say it wasn’t true, then when pointed out, you wanted evidence, then when pointed out you want more evidence to every minute detail of the claim.
And to prove they are talking out of their ass here is Coca Cola’s own statements: https://www.coca-colacompany.com/shared-future/diversity-and-inclusion/racial-equity/external-action
they have a pretty large page devoted to the notion of (racist) racial equity (not equality as demanded by law). Equality is typically defined as treating everyone the same and giving everyone access to the same opportunities. Meanwhile, equity refers to proportional representation (by race, class, gender, etc.) regardless of their skill and qualifications in those same opportunities. So Coca Cola admits they do care about equity (and as a consequence promoting racism, sexism and classism) and thus it is as a corporation diametrically opposed to equality (which is currently the law of the land and has been since the Civil Rights Acts of the 1950s and 1960s).

Amazon deleted the books from your Kindle if you already owned them. This is a digital book burning. Libraries and schools are removing them as well. The President of the United States, who is supposed to uphold the first amendment, is removing it by statute.
This isn’t a McRib, you can reproduce a McRib, I can buy the meat and the sauce separately or make it from scratch at home. You can’t (legally) copy a book hence why book burning are so insidious.
Other left wing groups that burned books in the past were Nazis and Communists, even before they got to power through semi-Democratic ways, but they didn’t shy away from violence (compare Antifa/BLM) and cancel culture (compare the Nazi term Lugenpresse) that is the way we are going in the US.

@Jeffro: don’t you think labeling a source solely because it doesn’t agree with your political viewpoint is very close to saying that they are “apostates” and therefore no argument they make, regardless if it is correct or not, can be trusted.
You claimed a secondary source, I claimed a primary source, you claim a secondary source with clearly distorted language, which does not dispute but rather editorializes the primary source is more trustworthy because the primary source is run by your political “apostate”.
If you can claim a primary source where CocaCola says that they did not run the class and/or that the primary sources somehow fabricated their evidence (there are screenshots). They claimed ipso facto it being available in their training regiment that it does not mean mandatory (why would you green-light unverified, racist training module as a corporation that large is beyond me), but there are 3 witnesses that says it was.
I already said, it is entirely possible, training is not mandatory for all employees but that some managers may have exceeded their authority. Again, where does Coca Cola state that they have reprimanded the managers that forced the training on these employees?

@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.
@Wingcommander: that’s exactly why they got tossed out of the Royal Family though. As a Royal, you cannot openly opine on a particular political issue, there’s all sorts of things they should shy away from, the queen understands that politics is only a 5-10 year cycle, while they have preserve themselves politically for millennia. Meghan didn’t want to keep her dumb mouth shut and spouted woke propaganda everywhere. So they were tossed out so they could keep telling everyone what to do.
“bible illustrations [parables] have more than one aspect.
they … often have a prophetic meaning and application.
moreover, some had a prophetic meaning for the time when they were spoken or shortly thereafter, and some were to have, in addition, a fulfillment in the distant future.” (insight on the scriptures (1988), wtbts, vol 1, pp.
I heard somewhere recently that a lot of ancient stories, such as those written in a book like the Bible often were written to avoid scrutiny of the ruling class. Likewise you would tell stories where the primary point was not the facts or accuracy thereof, but the moral of the story. The entire Old Testament was written during a time where the facts were not as important as the meaning. Thus you had devices such as parables and revelation to actually comment, discuss and criticize the politics and issues of the day.
For example the Book of Revelation by John of of Patmos is a thinly veiled critique of the Romans, religion and in particular Nero. Jesus told a lot of parables but they all can be interpreted to criticize the Jewish leadership and religious practices and promote more Roman and Greek ideals and reinterpretations of Judaism.
And yes, a lot of those were prophetic, but anyone alive back then knew the way Romans dealt with rebellions and rebellion was seething amongst the Jews at the time, hence why Jesus said to pay back to Caesar etc. The whole region was a powder keg, “of that day and hour knoweth no man” is easily interpreted as “the Romans are coming at some point [to put down this rebellion], only God knows when”. It seems Jesus across all those parables is telling people to prepare for a siege and to stop putting faith in the old Judaic ways since God won’t save them, the stories of the Old Testament were just moral stories and people understood that.

@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.

@Jeffro. How did they rate it as mixture when they admit in the first sentence that the images are authentic. Coca Cola denied that it was “required”, they didn’t deny the training didn’t happen, yet Snopes makes it seem like the training never happened or they couldn’t corroborate the evidence they themselves posted on their website and which Coca Cola admitted they provided the training.
Coca-Cola's diversity, equity, and inclusion training contained slides which read "Try to be less white."
Screenshots shared widely in February 2021 were authentic snapshots of a real online course on LinkedIn, featuring Robin DiAngelo and entitled "Confronting Racism."
