Summary

Walmart has rolled back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, ending DEI training, racial equity programs, and diversity metrics in hiring and supplier decisions.

Employees call the move a betrayal, citing the lack of communication and its impact on marginalized groups.

The rollback has drawn praise from conservatives but criticism from racial equity advocates, including Walmart’s largest workers’ group, United for Respect, which plans to reintroduce a racial equity audit proposal in 2025.

Critics argue the changes mark a major regression for racial and workplace equity at the nation’s largest private employer.

    I notice LGBT/trans-friendly content vanishing from netflix, shows with such characters cancelled after one season almost immediately after the election?

      The people who own these businesses are all conservatives because conservatives exist to make rich people richer.

      Lefties don’t understand this yet, but they don’t have a choice but to engage in class warfare if they want their other agendas to have a shot at succeeding.

      To start things off, stop subscribing to streaming sites when there are free streaming services available. In your social interactions, don’t say “it’s on netflix.” Say, "you can stream it for free here: " and then give a site like https://hydrahd.com/
