‘Try to be less white’: Coca-Cola hit with backlash over ‘confronting racism’ training course

Coca-Cola found itself at the center of controversy on Friday after a viral social media post revealed that some Coca-Cola employees completed a racial sensitivity training course that teaches participants how to “be less white.”

Images of the course were shared by psychologist Karlyn Borysenko, an activist who is fighting against critical race theory, who obtained the images from an “internal whistleblower” at Coca-Cola.

One of the slides in the course titled, “Confronting Racism,” states, “Understanding What it Means to Be White, Challenging What it Means to Be Racist.”

Another slide states, “To be less white is to:” “be less oppressive,” “be less arrogant,” “be less certain,” “be less defensive,” “be less ignorant,” “be more humble,” “listen,” “believe,” “break with apathy,” and to “break with white solidarity.”

One of the other slides just says, “Try to be less white.”

The online training is a webinar created by Robin DiAngelo, author of “White Fragility,” and is hosted on LinkedIn.

  1. So I am supposed to be “less White”? What if I walked up to a POC who had his pants halfway down and his underwear out and I said. “hey, try to be less Black”? Who would have the most reaction?

  2. I was born a POP (Person of Pallor) and for decades have struggled because all the advantages and privileges were geared to some other subsets of race, gender or alien status.

    Since I can’t alter my POP status, I’m going to do my part to help Coca Cola win the war against white customers by buying from other soda manufacturers. I urge you to do likewise.

  3. who is john gault

    I had one of my employees call coke and tell them to remove their machines from my business. If more businesses would fight back we can end this nonsense

  4. You would expect the people that complain the most about racism would be speaking up but nothing but silence… Where’s the Jewish and Black community’s???? Once again silence …and as they say silence is consent they aren’t against racism they are for it as long as it isn’t against them . White peoples have fought against discrimination in America and it was nearly eradicated but the left and these groups revived it .

  5. This too shall pass once the next world event transpires.

    There is a lull in the current script – actually a re-write is taking place and we will be back to our regularly scheduled programming of CRAZY SH*T shortly!

    SHEESH!
