Eight years in and this is the first time the upper echelon is writing anything like this
 . They're getting bolder. Email below with this attachment: https://hbr.org/2020/06/u-s-businesses-must-take-meaningful-action-against-racism  Attached File Attached FileSecond email from different HWhiteIC:  Attached FileThe emails say this all starts with dialogue, and you are all my friends and people of the community, so I take that to mean it can be posted here for discussion. Please share your opinions with me so I can learn about racisms. |

A family member’s employer sent out similar crap, including a quote by American Communist Party VP candidate Angela Davis.

from out health insurance company this morning:
Today, we announced commitments to drive national change with a $50 million pledge over the next five years focused on directly impacting racial injustice issues, strengthening our communities and addressing health inequities. With our 75-year history in local communities, we are compelled by our values to improve the lives and the health of communities and help build a better, more equitable and healthier America. Guess who gets to fund that $50M? Certainly won't be the CEO-level people!

Complete Douches. Same here with my so called employer. Knee taking coms to associates.
Can't even shop in peace. Got a damn email from Petsmart this morning for Christs sake! Much the same as above. Total virtue signalling bs! Its everwhere. The lefties are determined to give the wacko europeans a run for their money I reckon. But hey I guess anythings possible after all we are the country that banned alcohol.

Then maybe screen share their pictures after everyone says how terrible two more black men were killed that they didn't even know about. |

If I received that, I would expect to have a short stay at the company, so I would fire back and make life as miserable and difficult as I could.
"I consider this a hostile work environment and I don't appreciate being called a racist, just because I'm white. Your assumption is offensive and hurts my feelings. I demand to know what steps you will take to address this institutional bias, in both the near term and the long term, to make this a safer place to work." Or something like that, all of which is garbage but designed to piss in their cheerios. Annnnd... this is why I have been my own boss for almost three decades.

If that doesn't happen, nothing is lost. If that does happen, they can say "We Did SOMETHING, so leave us alone." ETA: read or listen to Secret Empires by Peter Schweizer to hear how "friends of the president" shake down private industry behind the scenes, especially in the Obama regime. So I'm quite interested to see what these two initiatives are. I sincerely hope they intend to get rid of the slavery and random murders of black people in their workplace.  But in all seriousness, keep quiet unless you already have a new job lined up and want to get fired in spectacular fashion. |

Suggest that at least half the big wig jobs go to minorities .
Suggest that at least half the money you invest goes to minority owned bidness, maybe Soulglo Suggest all employees have chains Friday , where they have to wear chains around their necks to learn what it's like to be black. 8f you have another job all lined up, suggest all white women employees start blowing any black guy that walks by 5he building. |

I am pretty confident that stuff like this is just virtue signaling and empty words.
Most companies just want the APPEARANCE of “doing something” - mostly for the purpose of being able to say that they did something. Nobody actually cares, and nothing is actually going to change. Just roll with it.

Ask them how they believe George was killed due to racism. He was being arrested for trying to pass counterfeit money not for being black. And in reality if the democrats in Minnesota hadn't pulled the lockdown on the citizens George would probably be alive today as he wouldn't have had to resort to faking money.
The autopsy by the coroner showed he didn't die from oxygen deprivation. The officer didn't shout out the N word or tell George he was going to be murdered because he's black. Where is the racism? Being arrested isn't a color issue it's legal issue due to one's own actions. Then if you want to get into trouble with work suggest that in order to help with the "racism" problem the entire management team should sell their homes in the suburbs and move into the inner city and send their own kids to schools there. It'll help the tax base and they can shed their white supremacy at the same time. Explain that they will learn how their new black American neighbors in the inner city cope with racism and they can then offer suggestions to help. Of course that's if they don't flee the inner city within the first month after having gunshots hit their new homes or their kids get beaten up every day at their new school for being white. |

It’s ally camouflage. No no don’t come for XYZ inc. We are an ally. Big corporations used to pay off Jackson, Sharpton et al for racism protection. Since Sharpton and Jackson weren’t communists it worked. They got a payday and went away. The change is Ellison, Tahlib, & Cortez are communists and won’t stop with a paycheck. They’ll take the paycheck and keep coming. The establishment thinks that it can co-opt them and be safe. They’re wrong. |

Reply All, "Sorry for being white!"
Then when you get pulled into the HR department to see if you were being sarcastic and either writing you up or firing you you turn it up a notch. Immediately go full SJW offensive and DEMAND that the email be re-sent with that exact phrase as post script from the bank president because it should have been there to begin with. Anything less is being racist. And you actually believe that this is a half-hearted attempt at race pandering. If they were serious there would be paid time off for black people, more sensitivity training for white people, and senior leaders would relinquish their positions to a POC. Directly call out the writer of the email to be removed and replaced with a POC. Make a suggestion for a town hall where the writer of this email can explain his half-assed position and come up with a REAL PLAN to tackle the system racial inequality in the organization. Have the guy either fired for stepping on his crank when he speaks or voluntarily steps down in fear. Either way you win and can enjoy your manipulation of the situation. |

Demand that they give up their cushy positions for people of color. Or ask how many of them have volunteered at black community centers or homeless shelters. You will get a long winded explanation of how they can't really help people of color if they did any of that.
