Douglas Andrews at PatriotPost defines corporate “wokeism” It’s systematic blackmail. One shakedown after the next. Here’s how it works:
Uncovering the ‘Why’ of Corporate Wokeism
The radical Human Rights Campaign’s so-called Corporate Equality Index
is a powerful Oz-like force behind the leftism of American business.
Yesterday, we wondered what
Bud Light’s VP of marketing was thinking when she made transgender cultist
Dylan Mulvaney a corporate spokesman. Today, we’ll ponder what powerful
American companies are thinking when they listen to leftist nincompoops like
Alissa Heinerscheid.
Because now we know what they’re
thinking.
What they’re thinking is: We’d
better not piss off the hard-left extortionists at the Human Rights Campaign. And,
more specifically, We’d better not run afoul of the HRC’s Corporate
Equality Index.
The HRC, whose overriding goal is
“to ensure that all LGBTQ+ people, and particularly those of us who are trans,
people of color and HIV+, are treated as full and equal citizens within our
movement, across our country and around the world,” seems committed to
achieving these ends by any means necessary, however brutish. And while it
wouldn’t be fair to tar the entire of the HRC with the same brush as its
cofounder, Democrat megadonor Terry Bean, who was arrested in 2014 and indicted
in 2019 on charges of sodomy and sex abuse with a 15-year-old boy, we
think it’s safe to say that his spirit lives on within HRC’s mission.
Fundamental to that mission is the
organization’s so-called Corporate Equality Index, which works a lot like the
Mob’s protection racket: Nice
business ya got there. It’d be a shame if anything happened to it.
Launched back in 2002, the CEI “has
become a
roadmap and benchmarking tool for U.S. businesses in the evolving
field of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer equality in the
workplace.”
And not only that. Lest you think
the HRC is obsessed only with sex, more recently the organization has come to
wield the Left’s other cultural cudgel: race. . . .
