Companies are always looking for new ways to reinvent themselves in order to stay ahead of the curve. But the latest trend of jumping on the racially divisive critical race theory is definitely not it. Many companies have been secretly re-educating their employees to believe in this white shaming theory, and a whistleblower claims CVS is the latest company to push this anti-white belief. Former CEO Larry Merlo entered the company into this backward ideology when he hosted a discussion with the theory advocate Ibram Kendi.
“As a keynote for the initiative, Merlo—who has since retired—hosted a conversation with Boston University professor Ibram Kendi, who told 25,000 CVS employees that “to be born in [the United States] is to literally have racist ideas rain on our head consistently and constantly.”
“A series of related training modules instructed employees to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves according to their “privilege… “The training asked CVS employees to circle their identities—including race, gender, sexuality, and religion—and then reflect on their “privilege” during the discussion. Examples of privilege, according to a checklist, included “celebrat[ing] Christmas,” “hav[ing] a name that is easy to pronounce,” “feel[ing] safe in your neighborhood at night,” and “feel[ing] confident in my leadership style.”
Another exercise, called “Say This, Not That,” provided employees with detailed racial etiquette “reference cards” to reorient their speech to the values of “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” Employees were told to cease using “problematic phrases,” including “I’m colorblind,” “I grew up poor,” “peanut gallery,” “I’m not racist,” and “we must stand up for minorities.” All these phrases, according to the training program, are racist microaggressions that minimize the existence of “systemic racism,” have a “racist history,” and “could be seen as discrediting the experiences of Black people and their culture.”
This theory is going to bring further turmoil. Our country is not discriminating against anyone anymore. It’s been over 50 years since the Civil Rights Movement. We have had a black president and at the rate Biden is deteriorating, we are about to have a female one too. This theory pushes white guilt. It is a detriment to our society and should be banned. Our country is not inherently racist, it is common for black people to be rich. So where is the racism?
