I would encourage all of you to to go Sam's Club webpage and Like comments mentioning the racist CEO.

A number of years ago, while working in the Bay Area, I had a chance to take a lunch time tour of the Facebook headquarters. While talking with one of the HR folks, I asked about what Facebook was doing to hire veterans. Not for myself of course (I'm too damn old and I doubt if FB uses any COBOL based applications).
I got some strange looks from the female, non-white HR person. Anyway, I really wasn't looking for a job. I just had an opportunity to take a tour on the headquarters and get a free meal as well. It was interesting.
What was more interesting was when I was asking some technical database questions, most of the techies did not seem to have much of a background in their field.

I don't see what the big deal is! It's not like you work for her lol racism is alive but when has it not been? People are too worried about what others think about the color of someone else skin or gender, when at the end of the day your happiness should be your main concern not the thought of a person who don't give two fcks about u! Expectually when they are wealthy...... Just being honest & if you don't agree I promise my feelings won't be hurt lol

If a white person made a similar comment, the media would be all over it. It's about the liberals double standard on these things as much as anything else. No justice, no peace!

Sam's Club CEO Rosalind Brewer is being accused of discriminating against white men following a CNN interview where she discussed the importance of workforce diversity.
Brewer was asked by the interviewer how she promotes diversity within her company.
"It has to start with top leadership," Brewer said. "My executive team is very diverse and I make that a priority. I demand it within my team."
She said she mentors women inside and outside of her company, as well, and also encourages Sam's Club's partners to hire a more diverse workforce.
Now here's the comment that ignited the uproar:
"Just today we met with a supplier and the entire other side of the table was all Caucasian males. That was interesting," Brewer said. "I decided not to talk about it directly with [the supplier's] folks in the room because there were actually no female, like, levels down. So I’m going to place a call to him."
Critics are claiming that Brewer's remarks are evidence that she advocates against employing and hiring white men — even though four of the eight people on her executive team are white men. Some customers are now accusing Brewer of being a "racist" toward white men and are threatening to boycott Sam's Club.
The interview has since been shared widely by conservative media, prompting some customers to criticize the company online.
"As a white male I'm deeply offended by the remarks of your employee," one person wrote on Sam's Club's Facebook page. "We will not be patronizing Sam's Club until this is corrected."
"Racism is alive and well in America," another user wrote. "I will never spend a dime in a Sam's club!"
A third wrote: "This is so wrong she needs to be fired ASAP."
Others reacted on Twitter.
