You're a heretic. You must do a witch test.

So I guess you think it's silly for people to compare the Godfather quotes or scenes to something in real life?

Yep, pretty much.

[RB 60]

Do you want a different cat

Yes! A dead one would be better...

Anyone who does not know what the DIE Religion is at this not paying attention. This religion has followed the Soviet Systems strategy of placing its minders through many of the institutions, with the power to at the very least make a lot of trouble for those who dont comply with the dictates from on high.

Lots of stuff re the DIE bosses programs and committees at coke at the link.

If you are a white man at COKE dont expect to have much of a career.

You are not wanted.

Twenty years ago, Coca-Cola Co. agreed to pay $192.5 million to settle a race-discrimination class-action lawsuit, one of the largest such settlements in U.S. history. Though the company didn’t admit the allegations had merit, Steve Bucherati, the soda giant’s first director of workplace fairness after the lawsuit, said the facts were irrefutable.

“Make no mistake about it,” the former human-resources executive said. “Coke was 100% discriminating against Black employees.”

In November 2000, Coke agreed to implement far-reaching changes to its hiring, promotion and compensation practices. It also vowed to become what it called the “gold standard” of fairness, with a workplace that offered opportunities for all.

One decade after the settlement, Coke’s effort looked like an unqualified success. By 2010, Black employees held 15% of executive roles in the U.S., up from 1.5% in 1998, shortly before the lawsuit was filed.

Two decades after the settlement, that progress has reversed. The share of Black executives is back down to 8%, according to company data. And the representation of Black employees among Coke’s U.S. salaried staff is now 15%, or 5 percentage points lower than where it stood in 2000.

Maybe the black employees have tended to be not very good at their jobs, or maybe they are not interested in going the extra mile to get promoted. .

I am reminded of how Nixon convinced corporations to hire mostly unqualified blacks at full pay in the attempt to depower the riots. The idea that they would learn on the job, they would be given long on ramps of non productabilty, that one day it would all work out.

Corporations took one for the country and did it, but all too often Blacks took the money but refused to apply themselves towards learning how to help the company, just as so many blacks refuse to apply themselves in school....it was the exact same thing....too many blacks often saw no reason to change, they were making great money and had easy jobs..."Perfect!!".

This lasted till about 1978, when corporations started insisting that only the productive could stay, the dead wood was increasingly unloaded into the 80's.

Corporations are setting themselves up to do this all over again.
