In adopting an an “Anti-Racism Initiative” designed to have ‘privileged’ employees defer to ‘marginalized groups,’ American Express has brought in Khalil Muhammad, who told AMEX employees during training sessions that they should charge black customers lower premiums than white customers.
Breitbart (h/t MarvinW) Multiple Amex employees have also alleged that the company has engaged in “reverse discrimination” and consistently wouldn’t promote white employees because they weren’t minorities. One employee was even told by a supervisor, “It would be advantageous and important for me to note that I am a minority when I apply for internal promotions.”
CEO Stephen Squeri has been behind many of these initiatives, launching a 2020 effort that includes spending $1 billion to promote “Racial, Ethnic and Gender Equity.” Squeri has also spoken against climate change and participated in the corporate pile-on against Georgia’s election integrity legislation. Amex’s very public progressive agenda belies a pattern of corporate misconduct records indicate.
UnAmericanExpress Last August, Manhattan Institute fellow Christopher Rufo detailed the full embrace of woke doctrine at Un-American Express. Their “anti-racism” program actually perpetuates racism and inequality among their customers and employees. Among their policies:
-
AmEx is tying executive bonuses to racial “equity,” managers are financially incentivized to hire minorities, even if they are less qualified.
-
AmEx instituted critical race theory training, teaching staff that “capitalism is racist” and asking workers to rank themselves on a hierarchy of “privilege.”
-
AmEx gave preferential contracts to suppliers just because the heads of those companies happen to be black.
All of these practices are possibly unconstitutional and illegal.
Even worse—your taxpayer dollars are funding this nonsense via mutual funds, index funds, and even direct investments made by state pension boards, who may not even be aware they’re directing taxpayer revenue to underwrite Un-American wokeness run wild.

There is so much fighting back against this invasive and destructive ideology, it seems that it is now constant. Not a day goes by that another problem pops up. Nobody profits from it except non-White weak people. It just plain has to stop.

They will change their tune real quick when the whiteys start cancelling their AMEX cards. And I bet there are a lot more white people that have them than PEOPLE OF COLOR!!!!!

Lets call this what it really is, first off, it is NOT woke, it is NOT anti racism, it is in fact 100% actual racism to the fullest possible measure of racism.
I dont have a AMEX Card but I guess Oprah has one and she must be so glad she will be charged less than the average white guy…She screams about racism a lot and tells American how bad blacks are treated in America while she is THE richest black woman in American history, now thats not woke, thats just ignorance.
Blacks in the USA seem to forget they are THE most privileged Negroes in the entire world.
I did notice the name of the dude at AMEX that thought this was a good idea, so where is that muslim prick from?, born in the USA?, immigrant?, ungrateful moron?.

Elijah Muhammad founded the Nation of Islam. Khalil is his great-grandson.

The RACIST WHITE HATER, Anti-American Muslim is DELIGHTED to hurt millions of whites who are struggling to survive economically.
CAIR and other Muslim organizations will be Celebrating.

DIRTY RACISM AGAINST WHITES.
It would be incredibly amoral, unethical and evil if this was done to blacks and browns, but it’s considered good and moral to massively discriminate against whites who are regarded by multi millionaire and billionaire NWO Globalists as worthless.
Concealed behind the Demonic HATE for whites, is all-consuming Satanic Hate for the HOLY ONE, our Magnificent Creator who gave whites their white skin colour.
