    They sell chicken sandwiches, not bibles.

    The moment I don't feel myself as a valued customer, or they've gone off the Woke Cliff, I'm out. Until then my family will keep eating there.

    They aren't telling you what they're promoting. If you asked any of these companies or government agencies about their DEI initiatives, they'd say similar things to what CFA is saying. It's the meaningless crap they spit out for public consumption to create the illusion that what they're doing is harmless and benevolent.

    You have to look at what the companies and governments actually do, and it's all about setting aside merit and market principles to screw with anybody who's white, male, straight, or Christian. It's full of contempt and hatred.

    Basically, if you see the word "equity" on a policy initiative, it means rigging the game to try to force preferred outcomes. Even if CFA is doing it, it is per se bad.

    And I love Chick-fil-A. I always have, even before I knew their politics, but this is bad.

    I worked for 20plus years for a defense contractor in dfw, another 20 for a company in a different industry. The stated initiatives of those two (on their website and in implementation per people i knew) after the George Floyd death were far more drastic than what I see on the cfa site. So, I'm not going to dive off a cliff on this cfa thing

    No doubt what whites, white males in particular , had to endure 3 yrs ago was ridiculous in some corporations. A lot of people were told to stand in front of groups of peers and "admit" to white guilt even though it was a bogus theory. That exercise served no purpose at all

    Even sicker is that executives do this so that Blackrock will buy up their stock and tell others to do the same. This juices executive pay short term. They are literally pushing the whole organization down this path so they make extra money from their stock options. If it rots the companies profits in 2-3 years, they don't care. They get a big pay out and retire.

    Stuff like this is still going on in the form of being bypassed for hire or promotion. It's official policy now that white men don't get promoted unless half of the group has already promoted a non-white.

    This does scream of an audit saying CFA needs the letters "DEI" to get more funding. CFA execs know those letters are troubling to conservatives. If they wanted something just for inclusion and accepting others, they could have easily made a page about accepting everyone with love.

    this last year my branch of the firm squashed 4 director positions. 3 belonged to males who are no longer with the firm and 1 was female. Guess where she is? She got promoted to MD and was given this ridiculous role of "Women's initiative's". This despite her being 3rd most senior out of the 4. To be sure, she is smart and capable but not so smart that it warranted this action.

    This is NOT the Bee. :facepalm:
    "In a shocking turn of events, the Rushingbrook Children’s Choir was interrupted and stopped while singing the National Anthem in Statuary Hall at the United States Capitol.

    The children, part of the esteemed Rushingbrook Children’s Choir, had traveled to Washington, D.C. last Friday, May 26th, for a scheduled Capitol tour and had received prior approval to sing a short set of patriotic songs inside the historic Statuary Hall.

    However, as their angelic voices filled the grand hall while singing The Star-Spangled Banner with pride, Capitol Police rudely intervened, insisting that the children stop singing immediately. The abrupt interruption stunned the young performers, the choir director, and the assembled audience.

    The Capitol Police did not allow the young children to finish the song and sought to explain to the choir director that singing the national anthem at the nation’s Capitol is considered a form of protest.“Certain Capitol police said it might offend someone/cause issues.

    Simple summary of the plight of older white men regarding hiring and promotion - "Too male, too pale, too stale."

    They may have been bolder in their language, because they felt less of a need to conceal their activities than CFA would, but what I think you're missing here is that DEI means specific things in reality regardless of what superficial language the company uses to describe it. And all of those things are bad, even if they don't publicly force white people to admit guilt.

    BlackRock is a disgusting enterprise run by some disgusting people. They are one of the biggest drivers of this crap worldwide, and a lot of it is illegal.

    Obviously the race and sex discrimination stuff is illegal. However, I think an argument can be made that they're breaching duties to shareholders. I also think an argument can be made that some ESG actions are anticompetitive and could violate antitrust laws.

    But as I've said before, the Right needs to get a lot more aggressive in court. We need to get people suing in favourable jurisdictions and venues over this stuff. We finally have a Supreme Court that might be sympathetic to stopping this and have long had state supreme courts that might be sympathetic. It's time to use them for something other than whoring for insurance companies and big homebuilders.

    Why do you think Black Rock is blackmailing all these companies to go woke?

    I think guys like Larry Fink are ideologically committed to it, but it's more than that. I think they're also cozy with government and are doing the bidding of government - stuff that the government can't easily force.

    So one man who thinks it is ok to mutilate and destroy children can create this stupid woke agenda where so many feel the necessity to virtue signal?
    Wow
    I remember from history another who could control masses like that.

    “We now have very good reason to believe that shareholders have excellent lawsuits in potentia for the violations of fiduciary responsibility,” Lindsay told Philipp.

    In fact, conservative legal group America First Legal is preparing to sue Anheuser-Busch, as well as several other big-name brands, for allegedly tanking their shareholder value through their Pride Month promotions that triggered outrage and boycotts.

    On Tuesday, America First Legal called on anyone whose shares in LGBT product-promoting companies lost value to reach out to them to join a class action lawsuit they are working to file against those companies.

    We can't destroy children's bodies and show them our junk at parades? It's an emergency!!

    And you gotta love the vague claims of "violence." If there was actually a clear cut act of anti-LGBT violence, outlets like CNN would make it the top story in the country for weeks on end. They would pull a George Floyd.
