AmEx then instructs employees to change their behavior in the office based on their relative position on the racial and sexual hierarchy. For example, if a member of a subordinate group is present, employees should practice "intersectional allyship" and defer to them.pic.twitter.com/qu6P8nqnAd
In another handout, the instructions for white employees are more explicit: "identify the privileges or advantages you have"; "don't speak over members of the Black and African-American community"; "it's not about your intent, it's about the impact you have on your colleague."pic.twitter.com/iyLp8aqQf5
White employees are told not to utter common phrases such as "I don't see color," "we are all human beings," and "everyone can succeed in this society if they work hard enough," or they will be considered "microaggressors" against their black colleagues.pic.twitter.com/WcOT6wYJsm
Next, AmEx invited Dr. Khalil Muhammad—great-grandson of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad—to lecture on "race in corporate America." Muhammad argued that the system of capitalism is fundamentally racist and based on "racist logics and forms of domination."pic.twitter.com/llIEOUQiR9
Muhammad said the company should reduce credit standards for black customers and sacrifice profits in the interest of race-based reparations. "If you want to do good, then you’re going to have to set up products and [product] lines that don’t maximize profit," he said.pic.twitter.com/OZGDqu5MYl
Finally, AmEx recommends a series of resources for employees to dedicate themselves "to the lifelong task of overcoming our country’s racist heritage." These materials endorse "prison abolition," race-based reparations, and the idea that white children are racist.pic.twitter.com/mjI3kX1OhA

P.S. I'm working on an investigative series exposing critical race theory in America's Fortune 100 companies. If you want to support this work, please consider making a monthly contribution here.https://christopherrufo.com/support
I’d love to see a breakdown of race regarding who was allowed credit over the years. My own mother couldn’t have her own credit card unless my dad signed for it, and this was the 1980s.
AmEx Board of Directors: https://ir.americanexpress.com/governance-and-corporate-responsibility/executive-committee-and-directors/default.aspx … Just sayin'
This stuff is poisonous, reductive, philosophically ungrounded, and divisive. It does one thing well, though: temporarily relieve the anxiety of Amex's board of directors, rolling in profit as they are, and give them legal cover should any employee cry "racism."
Doesn't surprise me at all to discover that the board is--ta da!!--almost all palefaces. Terrific at their jobs, I suspect, but panicked by the thought that somebody will ream their whiteness. So: bring on the workshops! "Nobody can say we didn't...." etc. https://ir.americanexpress.com/governance-and-corporate-responsibility/executive-committee-and-directors/default.aspx …
