As long as it doesn't hurt my investments they can caterwaul their wokeness on their empoyees all they want.

At the end of the day it's the bottom line that really matters. Nothing more.

If you hate CRT, blame the free markets.
So you're saying companies never do unpopular things to satisfy their CEO and woke culture?

HAHA. Are you serious?

You've never heard the phenomenon "Get Woke Go Broke."

The "free market" is rejecting this. That's why Hollywood is in the toilet.

Perhaps you should look a the long trail of corporations thriving from Federal government dependency.

Exactly. No CRT = No contracts.

They don't actually believe this rubbish, but they will bow down for the dollars.

Agreed, which is why I was never for the GOP. This is what we were taught, that the Republicans were for the rich and the Democrats for the poor. So, over time, it's not the GOP that changed, it's the democrats who changed.

Started with Clinton when he decided to sign the Republican designed platform that is known as NAFTA! Since then, both parties been working together to destroy the middle class and small businesses while increasing inflation and taxes for the working man.

Let's face it for eons to current day a majority of our community should receive the label "evil white degenerates"
I believe it's well overdue and we're barely expected look in the mirror and already dislike it.

Their community (POC not just the blacks) have endured dozens of decades of tongue lashing and stigmas. Our community endures a small taste and want to cry "uncle" cowards will be cowards.. easy to spot the inferior-minded species.

When White Dependency begins to lose its luster...we have whining.

Whining Supremacy.

So what are they supposed to do? Resign? Stop applying for promotions? Stop applying to colleges and universities?

What?
All the CEO's and the board need to resign first and then give their jobs to POC, women, other religions, etc. But they won't give up their 18 million dollar salaries and will just force the little guys to do it instead. And while they are at it, hire the women and POC at a cheaper rate because that's what happens when corporations decided to go woke. I wonder how many here know that Raytheon's engineering teams tend to comprise mostly of interns who don't even get compensation?

So who will replace us, if not the Jews, the Latinos?
