Marketing 101.

Wonder if they are going to pay associates getting an involuntary day off.

I imagine many CEO's are feeling pressure to signal this virtue in fear that not saying something will be deemed racist.
I know our CEO, he's a very intelligent, sincere man, with a lot of integrity, and I have no question that this *is* what he feels.

Was he able to specify the systemic racism he spoke of? I hear people talk about it a lot, but no one can point to a real, current example of it. It would be much easier for people to discuss facts and specifics I think.

The only systemic racism I can think of is affirmative action, as it favors one group of people over another based on skin color.

Yes, that is a good example. But under the Racism Redefinition Act it isn't racist because Black people and other minorities cannot be racist.

I am not challenging him to explain himself. And in fact I replied directly to him to share my solidarity and to share the statement from George W Bush.

Lol, appeal to authority is a very weak debating point. But in your attempt to win points in a discussion by using this silly strategy, you again highlight my point. Bush also says the same thing, but nothing specific. What do you think are some examples of systemic racism in the USA. Specifically?
