Joe Biden has received the endorsement of the leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP).
This endorsement makes a lot of sense seeing his planned taxation and spending policies. New running mate candidate, perhaps?

No. Don't care.

+1. Stop drinking that sugar water.
Coca Cola didn’t push pamphlets or deploy this training according to the co. They used a training set via LinkedIn Learning that also had this section training, but it was not part of their courses. The confusion seems to be coming from commentators’ inability to discern that Coke confirmed they’re doing a “better together” training, and people assuming this is part of that training. They’ve explicitly said the opposite.
So...Conservatives are trying to cancel Coke over something that they didn’t do.
That said, code switching is learned early for plenty of minorities, as an unwritten rule or explicitly through dress/physical presentation policies, so there’s plenty of irony here.
OP - Exactly. A company using a 3rd party training platform for trainings A, B, and C shouldn’t be considered as endorsing training X. The company isn’t using training X, and it’s something that a 4th party put on the platform.

As a democrat, the overreaction that is wokism is toxic and I hate it. It’s the worst aspect of the party, but I still believe, despite the warts, the Democratic Party is a better party for a moderate to associate with than the current Republican Party. Lots of democrats hate this nonsense fwiw.

It’s not, but OP and others often use the strategy of pointing out absurd things companies and individuals do to make the “see how silly liberals are” argument. I’d like people to understand you can be left leaning and not support all things left. And that works the other way too. Too many people arguing against straw men.
And for the record I’m not against anti racism training, but I think we can probably do it in a way that is less antagonistic. Fighting racism is ultimately about changing minds. Urging people to “be less white”, while I understand the message, it immediately puts people who most need to hear the message on the defensive rather than the intended effect of encouraging people to reconsider how they interact with the world.

Imagine caring about this enough to write a cringe song about it. Conservatives are the saddest people alive.
YOU are part of the problem

You can clean a toilet bowl with Coca Cola so I don’t care who they hire I am not drinking that stuff. It’s horrible for teeth.
I think it was a purposely provocative framing - but those carry a strong risk of going south no matter what it’s about.
3rd party HR group used terrible framing on this one. Moving along
For me it’s not about the particular company that employed this training session, it’s about the training itself. DiAngelo uses beautiful jargon to sell an unproductive and immoral ideology. Her training tells white people they need to be less white and therefore less oppressive and less certain? No thank you. She seems quite certain in her messaging btw. I’ve read her book. And Kendis too and many others. I understand the ideology. No thank you.
