Clothing company Levi Strauss is offering employees the opportunity to engage in a “fireside chat and Q&A” with a “racial trauma specialist” following the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse on November 19.

The announcement came via email from Levi Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer Elizabeth Morrison.

“With the news that Kyle Rittenhouse was not convicted in the shooting of three individuals – two of whom lost their lives – during racial justice protests last year, this is a difficult day for many.

"The pain and trauma of race, identity and belief-based tragedies is a reality that many of us are struggling with on an ongoing basis. It can feel physically, mentally, and emotionally draining to continue to relive these moments and I want you to know, its okay not to be okay. Please also know that my team and I are here for you and are working hard to create opportunities for you to express how you are feeling.

"To help promote safety, sharing and to encourage healing, I’ll be hosting a fireside chat and Q&A with Dr. Jamila Codrington, a licensed psychologist and racial trauma specialist in early December. Dr. J and I will talk about the mental and physical impacts of back-to-back social and racial justice events and trauma coping mechanisms during our discussion."

The methods listed include “getting educated and informed on the issue of gun violence so you can be an active citizen in your community” and “reaching out to your elected officials to let them know just how important common-sense gun laws are to you.”

Jamila Codrington serves on the board of the New York Association of Black Psychologists.

On the Karen Hunter Show, Codrington said, "You know, I think the first thing for me is always to reach back and remember who we are, because one of the main weapons of colonialism and white supremacy was to destroy our memory, and to separate us from, basically our wealth, our cultural wealth. We’ve been erased out of history books, we were forced not to speak our native tongue.

“We have to first start out with decolonizing our mind and our values.”

Has she told them yet there were no black people involved in the Rittenhouse case? They can all go home and suck their thumbs.

[Leep]

Will they be traumatizing them racially in their own special way?

Apologize for your racism or it will go in your file!

Why you are here let me give you a shot of covid.

Can't believe I used to buy jeans from these people. Never again.

[Huskrrrr]

Kill Whitey, or get them to kill themselves.

Here’s my problem. I want to buy American, but American companies like Levi Strauss are “woke”.

[UnwashedPeasant]

Anyone still buying Levis should check out today’s Wranglers. Even the fashion snobs consider Wranglers to be better built and more fashionable now.

How ironic— “decolonizing” used in a discussion sponsored by Levi-Strauss (the denim jeans worker’s pants makers).

Another thread here on FR in re: Durham mall shooting, referenced the Duke lacrosse team “rape” fake scandal, and the Duke commie/lib activists who kept this going.

Comments in re: 1979 “riots” initiated by duke Commie activists with textile mill labor organizers (who organized against the main textile firm supplying Levi-Strauss, that being the Cone/Cohen mills of NC).

Thread comment from there— on the so called riot and shootout reflects the continuing methods of the Communists,as in this post on this “Racial Trauma Specialist” (an entire industry for something that does not exist unless they make it so):

So...black folks are traumatized because they think white people defending themselves from armed white people is an assault upon their right to be stupid?

[bk1000]

If that verdict was difficult for anyone it is due to ignorance, willful or otherwise. Fireside chat with professional race monger not required.

I gave up on them 30 years ago.

“we were forced not to speak our native tongue”

Gee, that never happened before...except for CENTURIES of the English trying to suppress the Welsh language.

This nonsense is why I don't buy "Levi" products. Lee, Wrangler and Carhart are supplying what I want with better quality.

"The pain and trauma of race, identity and belief-based tragedies is a reality that many of us are struggling with on an ongoing basis. ..."

Typical word salad from DIE officer.

Translation: "Thank you Mastah Joe for these wonderful chains I put on every morning so I can go pick cotton in the fields for you and Miss Hillary and Miss Kamala and Mz. Pelosi and the other Democrats! Such a nice plantation I live on!"

[oldtech]

No racial issue in this case that I can see. Rittenhouse had a right to defend himself & he did just that & now somebody who should be totally disinterested in the case apparently wants to reopen it. What’s the deal? He can’t be retried can he? Pure horse hocky!

[Chode]

no loss, worn LEE’s my whole life...
