China Pressures Global Apparel Brands to Recant Stance on Xinjiang Forced Labor

China Pressures Global Apparel Brands to Recant Stance on Xinjiang Forced Labor

The Chinese regime is waging war on Western apparel brands amid a global fallout over its genocide against Uyghurs in the Xinjiang region. Undeterred by growing international condemnation over its rights abuses, Beijing is pressing Western companies to reverse their position on Xinjiang.

The regime has dredged up past statements made by companies—some up to two years old—to stop sourcing cotton from Xinjiang over potential forced labor abuse to stoke nationalist fervor and encourage a nationwide boycott.

These “Woke Corporations” like Nike should never have been in China to begin with. No sympathy here.

The Chinese TV commercial that the NBA doesn’t want its players to see

The National Basketball Association has climbed into bed with the Chinese Communist Party because the nation it rules is a huge market that seems to be in love with basketball.  So eager to please the ruling communists is the NBA that fans with protest signs supporting Hong Kong democracy protestors were kicked out of games.

The NBA does, however, love protests against the United States, especially Black Lives Matter protests, even though those have led to death and destruction in this country.

Amazon’s book bullying is just the latest act of woke intolerance

The house of the Lord, we are told, has many mansions. So does the house of wokeness. If you are Coca-Cola, you address flagging sales by embarking on an ad campaign (and internal training regimen for employees) urging those drinking its sugar water to ‘try to be less white’, i.e.,  ‘less arrogant, less certain, less defensive, less ignorant and more humble’.

If you are Disney, you scour your cartoons for images, situations, or language that worried white bureaucrats imagine might cause offense to anyone on this week’s list of designated victim groups.

Poll: Two-Thirds Of Americans Think Corporate Wokeness Has Gone Too Far

The study surveyed 1,098 adults about their thoughts on a range of high-profile actions corporations have taken recently to appease left-wing activists, including Hasbro dropping the “Mr.” from its Mr. Potato Head toy, Disney closing down popular rides at its theme parks that activists claimed were “racist,” and Lucasfilm’s firing of actress Gina Carano.

First Cheerleading Squad In NFL Replaced By Men/Women Dance Team

The longest-running group of cheerleaders for an NFL team, founded in 1962, is no more.

The Washington Football Team, formerly known as the Redskins, is replacing their cheerleading squad with a coed dance ensemble. The Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots already have men on their cheerleading squads.

I get it. Who wants to look at this?

How to Be Less Woke — For Dummies

Diversity is not always better than homogeneity. Try to make a diverse balance sheet and you will ruin your company. Make screws that are all diverse and you’ll get millions of complaints from angry users. Try making a diverse gin and tonic and you’ll end up with a gin-watered garden. I know diversity is a sacred word to you, but seriously, it’s better to have a homogeneous and competent group of workers than a wide range of useless diverse ones. The reason is the same reason why a homogeneous workforce is not always better than diversity.

Pardon My Whiteness

For all the decades I’ve been alive, I never realized that my whiteness was a problem for the rest of society. I’m one of those people who merely gets up every day, brushes his teeth, gets dressed, eats a decent breakfast, and goes to work.

I had no idea that in the U.S. and other western nations white people like me had been “socialized to feel that they are inherently superior because they are white.” Gosh, how naive I have been all these years!

Alas the Nazi Coke ad is a photoshop though Coca Cola did produce ads for the 1936 Berlin Olympics along with its usual advertising for the German market.

Rex Murphy: Turmoil in the toy patch – Mr. Potato Head ‘brand’ no more

No surprise there’s turmoil in the potato patch, weeping in the vegetable cellar.

It’s all in the wake of that Hasbro crowd sucking up to the woke crowd and trying to knock the most famous potato in the world, one of the toy company’s top-sellers for almost 70 years, off his — deservedly earned — Patriarch-of-all-the-Starches Throne, the venerable Mr. Potato Head.

Thought husbands sexuality “just a phase.” Seeks custody of child.
