    As I see it, while not all CEOs are white cisgender. For some strange reason, which I’m completely sure it’s totally a coincidence, all the ones spouting this antiwork bile, are always white cis male. I wonder why that might be…

      Just because you’re focusing on hating a specific race and gender doesn’t mean that others aren’t alsp spouting the same anti-work bile.

      Let’s see what Mary Barra has to say about today’s strike announcement. https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/15/business/mary-barra-gm-ceo-uaw-strike-interview/index.html

      In the US as of 2020 data, there were about 8.5 million black people below the poverty line compared to 15.9 million white people. An individual below the poverty line is almkst twice as likely to be white than black.

      That does not mean that systemic racism does not exist: that 8.5 million black people below the poverty line is a much higher percentage of the total number of black Americans than that 15.9 million is of the total number of white Americans. However, there’s still 15.9 million white Americans below the poverty line. They don’t care how many CEO’s in the top 10 are white. They have far more in common with the 8.5 million black people below the poverty line than any of those CEOs.

      Stirring racial tensions is an age-old tactic used by the owning class to distract the working class. And you still haven’t answered my question: what are you hoping to accomplish by calling out cis white CEO’s other than trying to alienate cis white male working class people?
