We already know that Coke is woke. The company didn’t have to say anything, but Coca-Cola released a company statement after the storming of the Capitol Building that “we are all stunned by the unlawful and violent events that unfolded in Washington, D.C.,” which was “an affront to the ideals of American democracy.” No, we don’t support the riot at the Capitol, but Coca-Cola also apologized for not doing enough to fight racism after the death of George Floyd and pledged $2.5 million in grants from The Coca-Cola Foundation for the Equal Justice Initiative.
We normally get our whistleblower documents on critical race theory workshops from Christopher Rufo, but this time it’s organizational psychologist Karlyn Borysenko sharing screenshots from a Coca-Cola training session teaching employees to be less white.
??? BREAKING: Coca-Cola is forcing employees to complete online training telling them to "try to be less white."

To be less white is to be less oppressive, less arrogant, less certain, less ignorant, and to break with white solidarity.
I walk through the images in this video: https://t.co/tBwQ0FGV2N

For people asking to verify this, the course is publicly available on @LinkedIn: https://t.co/T2mmXTACeJ
You can see for yourself. The Coca-Cola icon is in the top right hand corner on some of the images because they're using LinkedIn content for their internal platform.

One thing you all should keep in mind is that Coke probably isn’t the only company using this training with their employees. It’s on LinkedIn Learning – any company can pay for it.
What other companies are making their employees do it?

AND Coke confirms it’s real, for all you skeptical doubters. https://t.co/CKxmggfQYl

@CocaCola @CocaColaCo maybe your legal department should take a look at these slides before they become Plaintiff’s Exhibits 1, 2, 3, and 4 in a successful hostile work environment suit

I'm seriously hoping this isn't true. Please confirm @CocaCola. This is outright racism under the guise of education. Substitute any other race for white and watch the reaction. You can't reach equality by denigrating another group.

Outright racism under the guise of education? Welcome to anti-racist training and critical race theory.
I hope every single one of the companies bowing down to this crap gets sued into bankruptcy.

This violates US employment law. Employees cannot be discriminated against due to color of skin. @USDOL

I prefer classic Coke to the new recipe of Woka-Cola

If someone tried to make me sit through this, I would treat it as slander and sue.

Not surprised to see Robin DiAngelo’s name there.
— John Culkin (@theculkineffect) February 19, 2021
It usually isn't *quite* this ham-fisted, but this kind of thing is very common. I was invited to view a "conversation" with DiAngelo in 2020.

…How about simply reinforcing the Golden Rule, and that the company will not accept shitty behaviour.

TheBlaze’s Chris Pandolfo received a statement from Coca-Cola explaining that the company uses LinkedIn Learning to present “short vignettes” on a number of topics.

The Lincoln Project wishes its grift were at the level of “anti-racists” like Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X. Kendi.
