The North Face company is offering customers a discount if they complete an equity course that teaches how White people never experience racism, and how the "outdoors" is oppressive against Black people.

Good one, Bee!...err...

Well if you’re into this sort of thing, just buy Patagonia instead and instead of guilt you can experience buyer’s remorse.

Not interested, besides, 20% off over-priced items does not make a deal.
North Face-—not a problem to NOT buy your cr@p!
I guess I’d like to know where they are going to get an equity course based upon a one direction thought process. I’ve reviewed a couple of those calling themselves equity courses and they can’t fit the wished results that it appears the company wants because the magic word in each, and the main requirement, is the use of transperancy. And that the company, and no one actually using to try to decipher and correct the problem can afford to do. So all northface is doing is generating business, not trying to reason out the the problem so some form of repair or erasal of the actual problems can be determined. Thus it’s like saying everyone with blue cars in a pack of 20 speeding cars on the freeway are wrong and we’ll reward you for not speeding. Pavlov’s dogs.

> Seriously? Who the hell is running these companies? <
A bunch of cowards are. In cases like this one, I suspect that some wokester at a meeting proposes a horrible idea. Everyone else present knows how bad the idea is. But they stay silent because they don’t want to be called racist or a hater.
So presto, the bad idea becomes company policy.
Hey, NFace, F*#$off — like right off a cliff.
The cancer of DEI has taken over many corporations. This article reveals how it has seriously damaged Boeing whose airplanes have been in the news lately:
“Status games rule every boardroom in the country. The DEI narrative is a very real thing, and, at Boeing, DEI got tied to the status game. It is the thing you embrace if you want to get ahead. It became a means to power.
DEI is the drop you put in the bucket, and the whole bucket changes. It is anti-excellence, because it is ill-defined, but it became part of the culture and was tied to compensation. Every HR email is: “Inclusion makes us better.” This kind of politicization of HR is a real problem in all companies.
If you look at the bumper stickers at the factories in Renton or Everett, it’s a lot of conservative people who like building things—and conservative people do not like politics at work.
The radicalization of HR doesn’t hurt tech businesses like it hurts manufacturing businesses. At Google, they’re making a large profit margin and pursuing very progressive hiring policies. Because they are paying 30 percent or 40 percent more than the competition in salary, they are able to get the top 5 percent of whatever racial group they want. They can afford, in a sense, to pay the “DEI tax” and still find top people.
But this can be catastrophic in lower-margin or legacy companies. You are playing musical chairs, and if you do the same things that Google is doing, you are going to end up with the bottom 20 percent of the preferred population.”

I agree.
Exactly.
No more North Face products for me. That company is now dead to me.
Okay, so I guess that means no more shopping at North Face. They are going racist to stop racism. Actually no surprises there.
Irritates to to no end these companies do this stuff—NF, Patagonia, Prana, Kuhl and others make high quality stuff that fits well and can last for years and years
Now another brand I don’t want to buy that was an easy choice before
North Face’s founder, Doug Thompkins, was a radical. His company carries on his tradition.
That’s the White Face Dome.
“The North Face company is offering customers a discount if they complete an equity course that teaches how White people never experience racism, and how the “outdoors” is oppressive against Black people.”
My logic: The course itself is racism against White people and thus disproves that White people never experience racism.
Oh, the irony...
So Whites can’t experience racism.
So tell me how being beaten up and robbed over and over by the black and Mexican kids nearly every week while I walked to or from school because I was white.
That sure F^^king felt like racism to me!
