Trump took this crap out of schools and government and Biden brought it back and guess who the left considers racist.

All you have to do is ask. If a company pushed that but saying black instead of whites, would the left be apoplectic? Hell yes. But they love double standards.

Not to say racism in Coca Cola doesn't exist, but I'm pretty sure both the founder and the majority of past CEOs have been Caucasian.

Or maybe they wanted to fit in with the 1890-1960 Society and not have Minorities as Directors for support reasons.

By your logic the NBA is racist unless they have a white, latino, Asian, and Native American player.

Then that's Transphobia, not racist.

True trans isn’t a race, my my bad I get confused when we start defining everyone by labels. The point is you want to decide the boardroom by identity but not the sports field. Why?

The person who is best at the job should do it regardless of their race in both the boardroom and the sports field.

They do not have all of them.
But that isn't necessarily the point.
I'm not saying Coca Cola has no Racism within it.
I'm saying that isn't necessarily always against whites.

You're telling me any company today is going to look at a resume and go ' hmmm, graduated from Harvard, great references, damn, his skills will let us profit by fundamentally changing our approach with modern solutions and a new online campaign, my God, this will save us millions... oh wait, he's black, forget that'.

Please. These companies care about the bottom line. That's it.

Denying that a race of people don't have it bad. I'm not denying other races have it bad but it seems to be mainstream to target white people for their skin colour. Racism and discrimination ain't cool, Frenz.

You're generalising a whole group of people power based on skin colour. That's racist. Its not 'white people' that have all the power it's wealthy elites. The average man and woman has no more power than the other. It's class not race that's the problem.

Not a generalization. It's a fact.

A small group of wealthy elites only care for that small group of wealthy elites. This is a class issue not a race one. I don't get a dime from Elon Musk.

Perhaps the reason why is because they worked their asses off or invested wisely...it isn't because they are of a certain race or their melanin levels.

I said that white people are the most powerful people in the world. And it's true. I never said it's because of their skin color.

Wha???? You said White people. That would be the color of their skin, no?
And the rest of my comment still stands...they worked their asses off and invested wisely.
Right now, today, in this great country, Blacks are FAR better off than their cousins over in Africa or anywhere else. Hell's Bells, most big cities are run by Blacks. Racist whitey elected a Black man as president. So, for the love of Pete, stop with the racial bullshit. It is boring.

No it’s not. Not for the people who aren’t on the list. Lots of white people have no power. So saying they all have it is false. I could say wow look at Dr Dre and Jay Z and Snoop Dog are rich so Black people are rich. That isn’t true any more than white people are the most powerful. Ask China if they believe that.

Yes, but lot's more do. More than any other ethnicity.
I never said Black People can't be rich or that all White people are as well.
