Disgusting | Home Depot goes *Nasty* WOKE
FULL TRANSCRIPT
well everyone home depot has officially
lost the plot to take a look at this
unpacking privilege it's all about white
privilege and how if you feel confident
that the police exist to protect you you
have white privilege if you had the
expectation of going to college you have
class privilege if you have the
expectation to have days off you have
christian privilege if you're straight
you have heterosexual privilege and if
you don't have to worry about how to get
into a store you have able-bodied
privilege i haven't even heard of this
one but apparently if you do not have
fear or anxiety of going into a bathroom
you have cisgender privilege folks you
are privileged and therefore you should
feel
guilty look this was trending on twitter
and i just had to respond in my opinion
what this document does is it makes
people feel guilty white people straight
people christians it brings folks
down
and it may be true that privileges exist
and let's just say if white people
christians or whatever have a privilege
what is the point of bringing them down
via guilt when in reality rather than
teaching wokeness we should be teaching
communication bluntness skills and value
to bring everybody up to the same level
and then beyond let me give you an
example i'm german some people instantly
think that's it you are a nazi
i'm not a nazi
and if they continue to believe that
that's their problem
but i don't need people walking around
going
damn i'm not german therefore i have
non-nazi privilege
what the hell
come on first of all that does mean no
good it also does them no good because a
i'm not a nazi bee i don't really care
if you think you have a privilege over
me because you're not german that does
me no good and it does you no good you
know what does me and you good though
those around me being blunt and
communicating properly hey i know you're
german but i don't care you're a hard
worker and i enjoy working with you in
fact i have an idea for how we can make
this store a better place what if we use
this strategy to sell paint i have an
idea how we can build wealth together by
renovating this fixer-upper on this
street outside detroit by the way
detroit's doing very well growing out
very well outside the center of detroit
i was just there
i have an idea on how we can invest
together i have an idea for how we can
build a better society together
those are good things that brings
everyone up this letter from home depot
just and we'll look at it again in a
moment it just assigns guilt here check
your guilt box the objective is to to
lower people to bring people down not to
elevate them that's ridiculous that's
objectiveless that's dumb
that's silly and look i get it it's not
home depot's fault that our schools
don't teach finance that they don't
teach credit
and the importance of having a good
credit score that they don't teach
wealth it's not home depot's fault that
black people are poorer than white
people on average in part because they
were discriminated against because of
redlining and blockbusting real estate
that's not home depot's fault
it's halfed up it happened
but you know how we fixed the issue
not by white people walking around going
well i'm privileged because i didn't
have redlining and blockbusting okay
that may be true but what good does that
do for black folks who were left behind
it does us nothing
okay yeah i'm white
but does that all of a sudden make a
black person richer no a white person
saying i'm white does not make a black
person richer
but you know what makes
blacks asians russians ukrainians
germans or whatever richer
understanding long-term investments like
real estate and stocks proper
communication about progress not guilt
about ideas and perpetuating society in
a positive direction not bringing
society back and down home depot this is
a disgusting letter i go to home depot
for tools for outlets for paint honestly
i don't even want to talk to anyone
but if you want to give your employees a
benefit how about this how about instead
of checking a privileged box you have
them check a box on how can we help you
build wealth how can we help you get
into your first home how can we help you
make your first investment into stocks
how can we make sure you are maxing out
your 401k how can we make sure you are
making money and building wealth and we
are progressing in society together
what good does hey let's take people and
make them feel bad
what good does that do for the person
who's supposed like or are
or all of a sudden
people in a wheelchair supposed to feel
better
that other people now feel bad that
they're not in a wheelchair
and this is not saying that we should
not have ada compliance
i absolutely think we should
this is also not saying that i don't
think juneteenth should be a national
holiday which it is by the way
my employees get juneteenth off
my employees get all of these days off
they get martin luther king's birthday
off as well
but it doesn't mean
that all of a sudden we have to label
people to try to make them feel better
at home depot i don't know what your
problem is and you've also got a big
typo over here when you feel
unformattable talking about white
privilege here are some questions to
yourself to ask yourself why does this
unsettle me how does this lens change my
understanding of racial dynamics are you
freaking kidding me so how about then we
try to have better schools build
people's wealth
and protect our communities better by
elevating everybody by elevating
everybody's skill and wealth so people
don't have to steal bread to get ahead
in life because there's so much
inflation and the government failed
people in high school people graduate
high school and they can't even get a
job at mcdonald's anymore because our
high schools suck this is government's
problem but this garbage from home depot
starting the conversation talking to
your friends family or co-workers about
race is not an easy conversation okay
you know what i'm going over i'm gonna
talk to my black friends and my jewish
friends and i'm gonna sit down and go
i'm sorry
i'm white
what
no
no we're gonna go yo let's have a beer
and let's talk about making a company
together let's talk about an investing
opportunity let me share with you how
you can build wealth and real estate you
know what let me help you fix up that
property
come on man that's how we get ahead in
society not this garbage home depot this
is disgusting
