Well Best buy just had a bud light moment, They are stating that management positions are not available to people with white skin. What do you think?

[worldscolide]

I think its literally illegal. These are leftist policies in action. Its sad. But its true. They are literally saying "white people need not apply." Racism is racism regardless of skin color.

For those saying it's legal according to the supreme court, to discriminate against whites, you're very much wrong..

[DizzyDesii]

I thought most jobs have to have a certain amount of minority workers to not look bad. They’ve probably filled their other roles with someone white and now need to meet whatever little minority they need. I forgot the word for it but it happens with a lot of businesses here where they have to have a token poc to not look bad. As for Best Buy, our store looks quite diverse in terms of workers 🤷‍♀️

[worldscolide]

You're missing the point though. Read the screen shots. They are literally violating civil rights laws. Look into it sometime. Hiring on the basis of skin color is massively illegal.

[DizzyDesii]

Yea i read it and thats why i wrote what i wrote

[DizzyDesii]

I dont see too many people following the laws these days so that doesn't surprise me

[worldscolide]

I stopped shopping with them years ago, but mostly because I got banned for making their geek squad look stupid. It's a long story lol. But I'd never go back now.

[DizzyDesii]

Lmao yea geek squad are some of the biggest crooks

[worldscolide]

Right!! I brought a computer to them with a "failed" hard drive.. I didn't tell them what I had done. A day later they told me that I needed to spend 1500 dollars to fix it.. I opened it up in front of their supervisor plugged the hard drive in and told them to test.. And it booted to windows.. I was escorted out and told not to return..

[DizzyDesii]

Omg you should've recorded it 🤣

[worldscolide]

Right!! Sadly it was before cameras were so ubiquitous.

[DizzyDesii]

I actually do get annoyed seeing people film everything now a day. But man that one wouldve been epic

[worldscolide]

Agreed!!

[Yabbut]

These companies keep outing themselves so I know where not to shop.

[OlderAndWiser]

I had planned to get a new stereo installed in my Explorer this weekend, and Best Buy would have been my first stop. . . but not now! Vote with your wallet!

[exitseven]

I try to avoid the big retailers and try to find local shops. I just bought a new refrigerator an a little store and it was on sale and wegm got a good deal and the guy really appreciated the business.

[OlderAndWiser]

Thanks for MHO!

[Dargil]

www.amazon.com www.ebay.com That's what I think.

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Back in 2012 this kinda thing might have made a little sense but there are plenty of minorities in all types of positions now. Although I think it's worth looking into what kind of diversity these locations have.

Where I live, I know some people who are even 2nd generation and try to find businesses where there's some amount of diversity. If you moved to another country, wouldn't you look for other foreigners or Americans too?

Still, hard for me to believe there was a need great enough to call this reasonably acceptable.

[Snakeyes7]

Sometimes I wonder if this is the left's way to take down capitalism. Make these companies so blatantly discrimatory that the people who support capitalism will tear it down.

I wonder if they will get what they want this way, I hope not. I hope people will open new places that fight against these stupid DIE (Diversity Inclusion and Equity) policies. We have seen things like Rumble fight to replace YouTube so we have something going on here. Let's hope it's strong enough.

[Sour-rose]

🙃🫠 I'm sure this will be forgotten... if they apologize but bruh... this cannot end well for them. They've been around since I was a kid, so this is gonna sting for some folks.

[Bricealan]

Well, you can bet your butt they are going to get the shit sued out of them for this kind of discrimination, if that statement is, in fact, true!

[exitseven]

They are not the only company to get caught doing this. With all the boycotts that have effected Budweiser, Disney etc you would think these companies would smarten up.

[Snakeyes7]

You'd think but it's not like these guys cared about their customers anyway. As long as they please their bigoted shareholders they'll do whatever they want.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Wait there's still a Best Buy? Haha. The 90s called, they want their overpriced failed concepts back. Circuit City and CompUsa are lonely...

[Jersey2]

Its starting to hit the news. Their facebook page has some comments as well. I think Best Buy is in for a rough time. I know I can buy elsewhere.

[Jersey2]

I wonder how their Christmas season will be? Devastating as its the season for them to make money. Bud Light could try and give away product because they make it and its cheap. Best Buy can’t do that as they simply sell other companies products that can be bought in Amazon or elsewhere.

[Jersey2]

This is being buried or not getting traction on the internet except a few stories. I think a lawsuit should and will happen. That will highlight this egregious act of racism.

[Jersey2]

Even of its legal, we can still boycott and put them out of business along with law suits for what they are doing to the stock price.

[Grovermint]

Well, that's ultimately up to the to the powers that be. If taken to court, the court may side with the business. Just because something is against the law, doesn't mean in actuality that it's going to be enforced.

In addition, even though it says you must identify as one of those groups, they can use the excuse that they don't exclude people from filling an application. There are plenty of loopholes that a business can exploit.

[ventustalks]

It is normal. Companies do this to ensure they have employers from all kinds of people to eliminate discrimination. Their population probably consists of so many white people they felt the need to hire people of color to create a more equal work environment. It is not racist.

[worldscolide]

Do some reading about the eeoc.. It's illegal to discriminate on the basis of skin color in the states period.. It violates both federal law in the form of the civil rights act, as well as the federal labor board laws regarding equal opportunity.. So it is indeed illegal and racist.

[Snakeyes7]

You can't use discrimination to fight discrimination.

[ventustalks]

This is not discrimination. Do some research.

[worldscolide]

I did, and trust me on this it is the definition of discrimination.

[worldscolide]

In any organization's Equal Employment Opportunity program, one of the laws followed is Title VII of the Civil Right Act of 1964. This federal law prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex and national origin in regards to hiring, termination, promotion, compensation, job training or any other term, condition, or privilege of employment. Many people ask, "What's the difference between race and color discrimination" Well, let us examine the difference.

Its in the law..

www.army.mil/.../about_race_and_color_discrimination_questions_answered

[worldscolide]

And the federal trade commission confirms it.

www.ftc.gov/.../protections-against-discrimination

[worldscolide]

Oh and the EEOC confirms it. So you're telling me that you know better than say the military, the FTC and the EEOC?

www.eeoc.gov/.../title-vii-civil-rights-act-1964

[JoeMichael67]

Pretty sure the courts will make them drop this, as it violates EOE.

[Jersey2]

But they must be punished as in devastated.

[Jersey2]

They need to be bankrupted, financial devastation.

[gorydetails]

They were already irrelevant, now this will put that last nail in the coffin.

[KrakenAttackin]

Unreal. How much more blatantly racist and unlawful can they be.

[Agape93]

It says that it's a leadership diversity program, not white excluded manager positions

[Anonymous]

Well it's not on their site now, and their "Equal Opportunity Statement" says, "Best Buy will not discriminate on the basis of age, sex, race, color, creed, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, alienage (alienage?) or citizenship, disability, marital status, military or veteran status, or any other legally protected basis under federal, state, or local laws, regulations or ordinances."

[worldscolide]

Irrelevant.
