Take A Peak Inside The CRT Training That American Express Forced Upon Its Employees
Posted on 8/11/21 at 5:46 pm

quote:
American Express subjected its employees to a series of critical race theory training sessions that encouraged staff to rank themselves on a hierarchy of "privilege" and apply that hierarchy in the workplace, with the more "privileged" employees deferring to staff from "marginalized groups."
quote:
According to internal documents reviewed by Christopher F. Rufo, a senior fellow at The Manhattan Institute, and first reported in The New York Post, Amex executives created an internal "Anti-Racism Initiative" subjecting employees to a training program based on CRT tenets, including intersectionality, which categorizes people as "oppressors" or "oppressed" based on racial, gender, sexual, and other identities.
quote:
In the trainings, the outside consulting firm Paradigm urged Amex employees to construct their own intersectional identities, mapping their "race, sexual orientation, body type, religion, disability status, age, gender identity [and] citizenship" on an official company worksheet. Employees could then determine whether they have "privilege" or are members of a "marginalized group." Whites, males, heterosexual people, Christians, able-bodied people, and citizens would presumably count as "privileged."
quote:
In another session, consultants instructed employees to change their behavior in the office based on their relative position on the intersectional hierarchy. According to Rufo, the session included "a blue flowchart with specific rules for interacting with black, female and LGBT employees: If members of a subordinate group are present, workers should practice ‘intersectional allyship’ and defer to them before speaking."
quote:
The training sessions also warned white employees to avoid certain phrases as "microaggressions." Forbidden phrases include: "I don't see color"; "We are all human beings"; and "Everyone can succeed in this society if they work hard enough."
quote:
Rufo noted a high-profile "anti-racism" event, in which Amex executives invited Khalil Muhammad – a great-grandson of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad – to speak on "race in corporate America." He argued that capitalism was founded on racism and that "racist logics and forms of domination" have shaped Western society since at least the Industrial Revolution.
quote:
Muhammad said, "You are complicit in giving privileges in one community against the other, under the pretext that we live in a meritocratic system where the market judges everyone the same." Muhammad argued that the credit card company should reduce standards for black customers and sacrifice profits in the interest of race-based reparations. "If American Express cares about racial justice in the world, it can’t simply say the market’s going to define how we price certain customers, who happen to come from low-income communities," he said.
quote:
Amex's "Anti-Racism Initiative" training module recommends a series of resources for employees to "learn about covert white supremacy" (quoting Ibram Kendi) and dedicate themselves "to the lifelong task of overcoming our country's racist heritage."
quote:
In October 2020, Amex announced a $1 billion "action plan" to increase diversity, invest in more minority-owned businesses, and donate to nonprofits that promote "social justice."
quote:
"As an American Express shareholder, this is deeply disturbing," Danhof told Fox News. "Critical Race Theory trainings, such as the ones American Express subjected its employees to, are blatantly racist. Full stop." "Furthermore, the fact that they paid an outside firm - with shareholder money mind you - to come and conduct seminars that divided American staffers by race, gender, and who they prefer as sexual partners is insane," the shareholder added. "The company's management must explain how spending scarce resources to divide its staff along racial lines, potentially creating a hostile work environment, possibly increases shareholder value. Furthermore, to invite a speaker like Khalil Muhammad to rail against American capitalism shows just how much socialist and even Marxist thought now permeates American businesses."

There are a ton of Amex Black jokes to be made here.

Amazing the amount of Marxism preached under the guise of racism.
Communist sympathizers in the country have finally found the key to their ultimate goal.

I like Scott Adams' take on CRT.
His frame is that CRT basically puts people into 2 categories, Losers and Assholes.
The "losers" would be any non-whites born into this oppressive racist system. The assholes are the whites who allegedly benefit from the system.

And yet, I bet 5% of their total employees are black...

So Amex should be willing to take a hit financially on blacks unwilling to pay back credit card charges because they’re are deserving of Amex money ? Sounds a little like bad financial decisions much like the thieves doing scamming in the first place

I guarantee that behind the closed board room doors capitalism is still pursued with a blood thirst. And that board, at least the real ones with the control and $multi-B holdings, haven’t changed in their skin tone. This is all high level intentionally visible virtue signaling because that’s what’s needed these days to keep the MSM and sheeple satiated, and therefore the cash rolling in.

Anyone willing to listen and take advice from the largest hate group in America, with the absolute belief that both Christianity and Jewish followers no matter what color should be wiped from this earth, deserves what they get !

I shockingly amazing to see how fast Marxist have taken control of major American businesses and Industires.

These companies are run by fools. They invite in these “experts” to speak about how they want to destroy the company paying them to speak about destroying them. We aren’t going to make it another 15 years.

I left my old job for a small biz in early 2020. For many reasons I'm thankful I did, one of which is that all this shite is happening there and now I spend my work hours doing work (and posting here).

I'm sure AMEX is so concerned that they'll jump right the frick on this.

That’s more divisive and inciteful than anything Trump tweeted.
We cannot tolerate racism. No matter who is doing it.

If they’re so “woke,” why don’t they extend credit to these “oppressed” groups?

Canceled my card with the last bs.
Posted on 8/11/21 at 8:20 pm to LuckyTiger

If they want to waste their money on this shite, i have no problem. But our government better not bail any of these frickers out.

It would be ashame if everyone who received a credit card offer from them in the mail sent them a copy of that article in the return envelope.

Amex needs to check their privilege and start issuing Amex black cards to under-served POC, regardless of their credit history bc credit scores are systemically racist
