Can any one verify this?
Any employees here?
Supposedly hung in break rooms and given to employees?
If true, they don't know when to stop !!
Must not have learned anything from last "wokening" or there was no pushback.

If you're allowed to go into the break room at Home Depot is that "employee privilege"?
Let me say this about the so-called Whites going to college privilege............if you are a Black kid and want to go to college, you can go regardless of your grades or finances, as the admission standards are lowered to let them in, and the tuition is usually free for people of color.
Whites do not have that privilege.
They have been giving unqualified blacks priority in college admissions for 40 years.
We need a famine to come and reduce our population by at least half. We’ve simply had it too good for too long.
The Post has an article about it.
Canada Homeless Despot apparently.
ha ha i start there fri morning. w my views and sharp tongue i might not make through the shift
Wtf is cisgender?
Companies can’t step on their d!ck fast enough to get woke…
But that looks shady.
Hell, all the way back in '66, I had a college class (required) where a couple of blacks only showed up once a week, skipped tests and midterm and when I asked them if they'd made the tests up laughed at me. "Sheet, man, we come once an week and get a " c"". "We plays basketball".
My introduction to affirmative action and the first chink in my level of tolerance.
I would truly enjoy a F2F with anyone... anywhere on this topic.
And I mean anyone.
Why the CEO of HD does not employ a team of quadriplegics to stack lumber?
Why management at the shipyard does not employ team of 76 pound Miss Chileos to lift 120 pound stringers 12 hours a day?
Why the Navy does not send 380 pound Brutus in a torpedo tube to make a delicate welding repairs?
Why the top tier cardiologists in America are shunned as surgeons if they suddenly loose their arms in a shark attack?
Why pilots cannot fly just because they are blind?
Privilege is everywhere... why the NBA does not hire me at 59 and mostly white is pure racism and ageism. Bastards!
Claiming ANYONE has "privilege" is EXACTLY the definition of claiming yourself as a "Victim".
Victims do not exist in nature... it is not possible.
A wolf that looses a foot (in a trap or however) either carries on as a wolf... or dies.
Being a "Victim" is tantamount to being a black hole/vacuum... consuming everything.
I abhor anyone that fails to try... with whatever gifts his creator granted him.
I took the Covid checks (wife and I received)... and DID NOT buy a new Apple phone
NOR did I buy some Nikes...
NOR a 186" color TV...
I used the money wisely to make various investments (approximate value today in real time is $23,000).
If that "privilege"?
...or failure to not be stupid?

I hear ya !! I would have the same problem.
A Canadian branch of Home Depot sparked outrage after it posted a notice to employees about the benefits of “white privilege” and included a checklist for those who are “white, male, Christian, cisgender, able-bodied, and heterosexual.”
The notice, which is titled “Leading Practices — Unpacking privilege,” was posted in an employee lounge at a Home Depot in Calgary, Alberta.
A spokeswoman from Home Depot’s US headquarters confirmed to The Post that the white privilege notice was material from its Canadian division. She said it hadn’t been approved by the company’s diversity and inclusion department. The flyer had a Home Depot logo at the top.

I wondered about the use of the word colour.

Doesn't say a thing about "non black" community assistance. Or even recognize any.
Message from Craig Menear – Racial Equality & Justice for All
June 01, 2020
We are all confronting deep pain and anguish over the senseless killing of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and other unarmed Black men and women in our country. We cannot ignore that their deaths are part of a pattern of racism and reflect the harsh reality that as a nation we are much too far from fulfilling the promise of equal justice for all. We must stand with all who are committed to change that will bring us closer to realizing an end to discrimination and hatred.
To promote actionable change, The Home Depot is contributing $1 million to the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law in support of its vital work to secure civil rights and equal justice for all. Its mission is especially critical now as we work to build a more inclusive society.
Over our company’s history, we have built an environment where we take care of each other, build strong relationships and value respect for all people. As I did in my note on Saturday, I want to thank our 400,000-plus associates for helping to uphold our values. Diversity and respect for all people are core to who we are as an Orange-Blooded family. We do not support discrimination in any form, period.
We are all hurting, but none more acutely than those in our African American communities. Please know that you are not alone. We must work together and more urgently. To that end, I have begun working with our associate resource groups to facilitate internal town halls to share experiences and create better understanding among us all.
We are dedicated to supporting you and our communities during this time with the goal of emerging more united than ever.
Oddly, they seem to be be fairly supportive of veterans, and veterans groups.

Damn! I'm 26 mins late apparently lol. Another Cohen-cidence!

Then hiring them under affirmative action
As time passes I feel more isolated from the going son in public life. Maybe some of you can relate to that. It seems the stupid and outrageous are now normal and common sense with some decent behaviour is not good and if you live that way you're branded as a sexist, bigot, homophobe or racist. It's all part of a master plan hatched by the devil, I think.
We are so f..cked this entire clown world is going to implode
Equality cannot be forced upon any individual or group. Simple availability is the best that can be offered. To attain equality requires personal effort and self worth.
Calgary? Home of the Calgary Stampede. This is way out west in Cowboyland.
https://www.calgarystampede.com/This is the all time event for Canadian rednecks and cowboys. They ride bucking broncos, they race horses. A far cry from Toronto. And this is what goes on in Home Depot Calgary? Good God.

Went to college in the late 70’s. The was affirmative action back then that allowed minorities to enter under lower standards. As I look back on it now, I should have screamed “black privilege “.
I grew up poor in CO. My father was an alcoholic and often drank up his paycheck before getting home. There were times when we had very little food and sometimes had no heat in to CO winter. I went to bed cold and hungry more times than I care to remember. When I was getting out of high school I knew there would be no $$$ for college and few employment opportunities. So I joined the USN and found it to be my liking. I spent a little over 25 years before the mast and retired a Chief Petty Officer. Along the way in the USN I got 2 college degrees, bought and paid for 2 pieces of property (1 in CO that I still own and 1 in FL that I have sold), I traveled the world and experienced many cultures, I made 9 combat deployments to the Middle East and married a great gal. Our cars are paid for and we have some $$$ in the bank.
Everything I have I earned. I could have easily ended up in jail or on welfare. Instead I made myself successful and am now a high school teacher. Nobody every gave me anything and the color of my skin opened NO doors for me. Any door that opened for me opened because I walked up to it and demanded entry. And NOBODY is going to take from me what I have obtained. NOBODY!
f you had parents that loved you enough to make sure that you had a good education, you worked hard and made good grades you have "never having to work at Home Depot privilege" .
I spent 30+ years in public education, every day of it in the classroom. I DID NOT get a worthless advanced degree in Outdoor Masturbation and kiss ass up the chain of command to become an assistant principal, a coach, or a "counselor". I'm ashamed to admit I was part of what has become an indoctrination system, not a way of preparing young people to deal with the challenges life is about to throw at them as they clutch a diploma that many of them won't be able to read!
CashisKing I have to ask, have you tried to cash it out? I have a family member that done some investing with online crap and he can’t cash his out!
To the very day that they dump my dead body in the ocean I will never yield to the notion that all men are equal.
Some are taller... and some are shorter.
Some are smarter... and some are stronger.
Each man is a unique product of his creator... nothing more.
What he does with that gift... is his affair.
Gender, ethnicity and race are wholly inconsequential.
--------------------------------------------
For me... it is sinful to allow a person to claim victimhood as the gift bestowed upon them by their creator.
The inadequacy of the victimhoom moniker ... as a precept... does NOT lift a man up... but instead pulls down another.
CashisKing I have to ask, have you tried to cash it out? I have a family member that done some investing with online crap and he can’t cash his out!
Yes... went to hard commodities (physically held) that have traded up a few times.
As for the investment world... yes... I have taken out considerable cash over the past 6 months.
As for you family member... get the money to a bank and ATM it out at $1k per day.
Another great reason to support your local/family owned building supply. Most are good folks, knowledgeable, and in my neck of the woods, conservative and Christian.
“A mind is a terrible thing to waste”………
If you deal with the government you might as well expect this. Not for sure how much of HD’s bottom line is tied up in .gov sales but you either comply or they go elsewhere.
If you're allowed to go into the break room at Home Depot is that "employee privilege"?
White privilege, silly.

Good for you, MAC. Great American story. To your continued success, prosperity and happiness.
If my kids don't have some sort of privilege, I feel like I'm doing it wrong.
