guys this is serious. a white man, i repeat, WHITE MALE, has been oppressed by comments owned to the CEO of a gigantic American corporation Sam's Club (same thing as Costco if you're familiar with this "bulk consumer shopping" grocery concept). the whole thing has stemmed from an interview question:

CNN's Poppy Harlow (this is their real name) posted:

You are are rarity in the corner office in America and it is something that so many people want to see change. Not only are you a female CEO; you’re a minority CEO. Where do you fall on who has to make the change and how it is going to happen so that there are more women like you represented in the top echelons of corporate America?

her response?

the oppressor posted:

“My executive team is very diverse, and I make that a priority,” she told Harlow. “I demand it of my team and within the structure. And then, every now and then, you have to nudge your partners, and you have to speak up and speak out. And I try to use my platform for that. … I try to set an example. I try to mentor many women inside my company and outside the company because I think it’s important.

“And I talk to my suppliers about it. Just today we met with a supplier, and the entire other side of the table was all Caucasian males. That was interesting. I decided not to talk about it directly with [the supplier’s] folks in the room because there were actually no females, like, levels down. So I’m going to place a call to him.”

I bolded what I uh... think the racist part is :confused:

do we still have to link a news article? here idiots https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/12/15/sams-club-ceo-called-racist-for-remarks-on-diversity/

I'm annoyed that some people are more ingenious and harder workers than others, and as a result accumulate vastly more money than "poor retarded rednecks." The system is clearly broken.

http://corporate.walmart.com/_news_/walmart-facts/economic-opportunity-fact-sheet

Average of 190 employees working at each of 11,598 stores (2.2 million total), a generous estimate since a not-insignificant percentage of their employees don't work at a store location.

http://corporate.walmart.com/global-responsibility/diversity-inclusion/our-people

Here they mention 60,000 managers, about 5 per store. Five of 190 employees have the opportunity to make $50,000-170,000 a year, and the overwhelming majority will surely be on the bottom end of a scale that large. Every other part-time associate makes $10 average an hour, and full-time (certainly as few as possible) average $13 an hour. Part-time at 29.5 hours a week (just below the amount required to pay for health insurance) is under $300 a week, $15,600 a year. Full-time is only better because of the number of hours, and then we're looking at $27,040, meaning the lowest rung of store manager (an opportunity available to roughly one in 38 people) makes twice the average full time salary, and you can bet your rear end they're on salary and putting in as many hours as they can, driving down the hourly wage even further.

Sure, the people who work their way up are maybe harder workers and more ingenious, but the other 90% should be expected to live in poverty because we need to worship the Hard Working Job Creators for their ingenuity?

Being mad at the Walton's because they outmaneuvered everyone else at the game called capitalism is no different than scoffing at the poor for losing it. And keep in mind poverty in America means having a home and food like everyone else, but less money for luxuries, so forgive me if I don't shed any tears.
