It's been years since I've set foot in a Best Buy store, and that trend will continue.

What message does that send to their white employees?????

Relax. The program for honky cohorts is the Executive leadership program. You don’t want to work in those stores, have you ever met an employee that didn’t seem like they were there as part of a sentence?

Who would have the balls to sue?

What lawyer would have the balls to take the case?

That e-mail or whatever it is is like the the memo in the Erin Brokovich movie. There is not a more clear cut case of documented discrimination. Unless you are saying white people can not be discriminated against.

The majority of their board members are white. Must suck being a liberal and hating the color of your own skin.

Its all about Blackrock and Vanguard who own the majority of shares in public companies....scoring them on Environmental social governance scores....

They give you a damn grade on how much you are involved in DEI and stupid crap like that or they threaten to drive down you stock price or withhold possible funding.


Everyone whining about esg doesn't even know what it is and why it's problematic. Y'all just hear Patrick bet David yap about Larry fink constantly like he's the boogie man.

Again, all these companies are run by woke idiots and don't need Black Rock influencing their board with liberal virtue signaling. They're happy to do it on their own.

Did a little googling and this is indeed true. It also hasn't really caught much fire but that tweet looks like it's taking off.

This could be a fun one to watch and it's literally just getting kicked off. Let's ride, Best Buy. Let's see what you got. Let's see how y'all handle this one.

Who shops there anyway? That place sux. I go there 1-2 times a year when I need a sub- $100 piece ASAP and not price sensative.

Absolutely not. Besides the insufficient compensation, have you been in a Best Buy lately? It's like the electronics version of K-mart at their end. Empty shelves, shitty service, and still laughably overpriced. Not even sure how they stay open.


The BestBuy near us is now a Goodwill store. Kinda fitting.

Look, if you are ok with discrimination and racism just come out and support it. If you think it’s ok for a private company to do it, say so.

But, don’t cry like a bitch when the boomerang comes back around

It’s clear this is a course that provides management training to minorities. But there’s nothing showing that there are no other ways to get management training.

I hope some white guy identifies as Hispanic and applies. Then they turn him down. Easy lawsuit, right?
