Are you now, or have you ever been, a white person? I ask this not out of personal curiosity but for the betterment of American society. Everyone with a sense of justice knows that the greatest threat our country faces comes from its own white population.This message now saturates our culture. We hear it from the president’s bully pulpit. It is everywhere in the media and it is an increasingly inescapable feature of school and workplace life. Coca-Cola gave a useful and concise formulation to this plague in their now required “sensitivity” training for employees. The snappy message: “try to be less white.”

Wouldn't have it any other way and I'm getting a little sick of hearing about it.

I tried it today. I sat around and did nothing but look at computer, eat, and waste time. Unfortunately, I have to pay my bills, so now I have to work tonight to get some parts machined, The white man's world just pulls me back in. Must be nice to get paid for just existing.

My whiteness never hurt anyone. I don't think the same can be said of the black grievance-mongers who stomp on police cars and scream, "Burn this em-effer DOWN!" If I told someone to be less of a ghetto thug, it would not go so well.

I wish powers that be would make up their minds. People put on black face and got in big trouble.

How about being less Black? Less criminal behavior, less looting, less dropping out of school, less have five children by four different men, less illiteracy, less skipping work, less ghetto slang, etc.

Coca-Cola suggests being “less oppressive,” “less arrogant,” “less certain,” “less ignorant.”
I tried being “less ignorant” and I realized Coca-Cola is full of crap. So now what???

In all fairness I debate a White History Month and a White History Museum and White People Matter taught in schools.

Good article, but Matthew wimps out at the end, "Republican leaders, especially, have a moral obligation to respond to these calumnies and affirm the dignity of all Americans. Their failure to do so is an indictment of their leadership."
GOPe failures are decades in the making and their leadership has already been indicted, tried and convicted by the MAGA jury. Depending upon "Republican leaders" to exert a "moral obligation" is like expecting Pelosi to go to confession. Ain't gonna happen. Cancelling the cancel culture is up to those of us in the trenches. My "white fragility" is magnitudes stronger than the melting point of snowflakes.

Yea, I tried Black Face since the Black Losers Matter said Black is Supreme...that shoe polish is hard to wash off...
I tried Red because I'm 1/8 Cherokee, that didn't work...
I tried Yellow but that's racist against someone in China...
I tried Green but the plants rebelled and kicked my Arse...
So I went back to being Pink, I'm a SUPER Minority, there aren't many of us...
Is everyone Happy now? If not, TOUGH!

I just looked at my arm, and it sure looks closer to beige than white to me.
Since I don't hear any complaints about "beige supremacy" or "beige racist" I guess I'm OK and Coke should give me a nice $350,000 a year job.

I looked in the mirror this morning.
I shaved.
My skin color is the same as it was years ago.

I thought it was cultural appropriation for white people to try to be like anyone else.

Never. Live with it. I am so sick of all this. As I told an elderly AA queen going to a big meeting "tell them to take race and age off all applications"
Equal Rights is a bad joke.

When I was in the 8th grade, oh say around 1952, I was in a school play "Showboat." It was a blast. I had a minor role in it, to play a black person on the waterfront. I am white. I had to "blacken" my face to provide authenticity to my role. Just thought I would confess my past life.

I'm white. Nothing will ever change that. Coke needs to get a grip on reality. Try being less white? How does one do that without being ignorant and offensive? Coke needs to get a clue. Am I ashamed of being white? Nope. Never. There is nothing wrong with being white.

I just looked at my arm. My skin isn't white. It's kind of a peachy beige with my freckles a variety of browns from very light to very dark.
I couldn't be less white even if I spent the day in the sun. I'd just get beet red and then some other group would get offended and accused me of culturally appropriating THEIR skin color!!

It’s quite advantageous.
Ask Elizabeth Warren why she pretended not to be white.
It pays.

When I was growing up, my father told me of a lot of things I shouldn't do. I can't ever remember him telling me no to be white.

All of this "be less white" crap says more about the blacks that agree with it than it does about whites. It screams of an inferiority complex that some blacks have. They are admitting that whites are, indeed, better than them. So, to counter that, they are trying to drag us in the gutter with them. That is how it looks to me anyway.

The majority of my ancestry is Welsh, Scottish, British and French with a touch of Spanish, German and Italian mixed in. Over the course of my life, I've been asked if I am Greek, Cherokee (aka Native American), Jewish, and Middle Eastern (Syrian or Lebanese). Now that I'm older and don't tan so easily, it is pretty obvious, I'm more "Anglo" than anything, but I think the ones who want me to be less white, would be upset if I suddenly sprouted an afro and started speaking in ebonics.

I know this has little to do with Coke, but...
I've come to the conclusion that the average Democrat voter (not the Democrat Party leaders or the Democrat office holders), believes they have been cheated in life and are victims in some way. I say this because I was watching Kristi Noem, giving her speech at the CPAC a couple of days ago. There's no way she would ever think of herself as a victim, nor would any other conservative woman or man. Conservatives realize that life can be rough, pain and suffering are part of it, but don't blame their dilemma on someone else; Democrat will and do. Why? Because some people refuse to admit to doing wrong, doing dumb things, for not thinking ahead or being the least bit responsible for what happens to them. This is also why Christians are usually conservative, because God tells us that we are all sinners in need of salvation, and their are consequences for OUR actions. It is who we are, yet Democrats refuse to accept it and want to blame the consequences of their actions on someone else. Christians will face the truth about themselves and about life, and deal with it the best they can, with God's help..
In the end, Democrats will usually live out their lives, in rebellion of God, rebellion of the truth, and rebellion of who they are. It's always easier to blame others for their missteps, wrong thinking, wrong behavior and laziness. And that kind of thinking puts them at odds with their Creator and makes them susceptible to Democrat Party lies, that it's not their fault, they are victims of whites, of capitalism, of American racism or of anyone else they can think of, besides themselves.

I would rather be white and be exposed to all of these ridiculous attacks than be caught on the side of the permanently outraged underclass when the backlash begins. The woke and stupid are going to regret every BLM donation and the constant pandering to those who do not pay for stuff as a way of life.
