I do not believe that anyone who went to diversity class had any of their thoughts changed.
Those who agreed with the instructor agreed with him/her before they went there and those who disagreed went away still disagreeing.
Diversity training is a complete and total waste of time & money.

Just sneakin' around....
Agree. The only thing the training does is tells you what not to do openly so you don't get fired.

What really pisses me off is that people of a certain race could say anything they like and I was supposed to be quiet.
But Homey didn't play that sht.

There's value in that, right? If there's a code of conduct that is not based in common sense, then you need someone to tell you how not to fall afoul of it.

A clear relationship developed between Cultural Marxism, and the Woke agenda.
It was NEVER about improving tolerance, and blending all people together...it was about overthrowing the fundamental values that have established the greatest civilization the world has ever seen and replacing it with the oppression of communism.

Nope but it does tell them a slew of things they might not have considered as racist to complain about. Before training, asking someone "Are you taking Columbus Day off?" might just be blown off they view Columbus as the most evil man to walk the earth during his time period. After training, they can claim it as a microaggression.
Who cares about BLM?
This trial was brought to you by BLM, Obama’s rioters who pressure the judicial system to railroad white men. Judges in NYC may as well wave their BLM flags. The same kangaroos who worked for the Mafia before Giuliani now work for Soros.
AP said, “The case amplified many American fault lines, among them race, politics, crime, urban life, mental illness and homelessness. Neely was Black. Penny is white.”
No, it didn’t. Nor did the deaths of Michael D. Brown, Trayvon Martin or Saint George Floyd. This is political theater designed to divert attention from the nation’s post-Civil Rights achievements.
An out-of-touch media that promotes division in America promoted these cases at the behest of Democrats who seek to regain power through black pride and white guilt. It works. The hysterical white woman who prosecuted Neely’s trial made sure to call Penny a white man throughout the trial.
Bragg should never have charged Penny.
Pressure from BLM and the media also failed.

BLM tried to use the case to regain relevance. Rats thrive on garbage. The jury put this trashy trial in the trash bin just as jurors did in the trials of George Zimmerman and Kyle Rittenhouse.
One of BLM’s many founders told the press after the acquittal, “We need some black vigilantes. People want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud? How about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us?”
NYT noted that the times have changed in New York. Violent crime and random attacks by teens, thugs and homeless maniacs have an impact.

You sound like a DEI retard.
You're currently running afoul of common sense. It sounds like you need someone to point out your absurdity & stupidity.
You're welcome...

USA Today ran a flippant story yesterday headlined, “McDonald’s flip in DEI beef serves up another win for conservative critics.” Yesterday the fast food giant quietly dropped a statement dipping its basket of corporate DEI programs into the deep fryer. Sanity is back on the menu.
Coincidentally on the same day yesterday, McDonalds also announced the return of its so-called ‘value meal’, which enthused a lot folks who aren’t that picky about their food quality. If the franchise would just return beef tallow to the fry stations and fix the ice cream machines, they might have something going. Anyway, under the new value meal plan, if you buy a breakfast or lunch item, you can get another one for only $1. Go crazy.
McDonald’s un-DEI statement credited the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision banning affirmative action in college admissions and the “evolving landscape around DEI.” (I’m not sure landscapes “evolve,” it seems like a mixed metaphor, but whatever. I’ll let it go.) But conservative anti-DEI activist and filmmaker Robby Starbuck promptly announced that he’d sent Mcdonald’s officials a private notice on Friday warning them that he was about to put the fast-food company in the DEI spotlight.
Here’s Robby’s version, in his own words:
CLIP: Robby Starbuck describes his successful anti-DEI campaign against McDonalds (4:22).
Whether Robby was responsible, or even whether he just prompted McDonalds to do what it already planned to do except sooner, either way he’s done it again. Mucho props to Mr. Starbuck. They should give him free value meals for life.
One caveat: McDonalds did not completely capitulate. The firm vowed to keep the “I” while flushing the “DE” into the grease trap behind the store. But out of the list of promised changes, the single most important modification was that McDonalds promised to delete its DEI rules for suppliers. This lets companies who don’t follow DEI compete for McDonalds’ business again. The ripple effects could be even bigger than McDonalds’ concession.
Progress! But just wait, there’s more.

Costco’s Oversized Faith In DEI
The pundit class described the board’s rejection of the proposal as a brave defense of DEI against right-wing bullies, one that was “notable in its forcefulness,” that set Costco “apart from other major companies,” and that “resets the conversation.”
What the board’s response really amounts to is this: Let’s keep our heads in the sand.
The statement starts by saying “The report requested by this proposal would not provide meaningful additional information to our shareholders.”
How would they know that without actually studying the risks and costs and letting shareholders decide for themselves if the information is meaningful?
What follows is just a recitation of the bromides that DEI advocates have been spitting out for years. Diversity is our strength. Our workers should reflect our customers. It’s good for the bottom line. Etc., etc.
Then the board launches into an ad hominem attack on the National Center for Public Policy Research, which filed the proposal. When it comes to diversity and inclusion, only certain viewpoints qualify.
The Costco board says that the only reason companies face risks from their DEI policies is because groups such as the NCPPR “are responsible for inflicting burdens on companies with their challenges to longstanding diversity programs.”
The board completely ignores the legitimate and widespread concern that DEI is, at its core, an effort to institutionalize discrimination, that it fosters conflict, and that it does a disservice to the notion that performance, not membership in some protected class, is what counts.
The board concludes by saying that the NCPPR’s “request for a study reflects a policy bias with which we disagree.”
In other words: We don’t like your politics, so you have no business asking us to do anything we don’t want to.
This is far from a compelling defense of DEI.
Meanwhile, the evidence piles up that DEI isn’t the winning business strategy its proponents claim. Pamela N. Danziger, writing in Forbes, points out that:
