I’m not sure what happened to NBC News, but its online presence is filled with bad social justice rants that look like parodies of wokeness. And that’s not even talking about its Think focus which at one point published a defense of pedophilia.
Recently, Chip Wilson, the founder of Lululemon who hasn’t worked there in ten years, resurfaced to complain about DEI. But his complaints were less about race and more about the models for the overpriced athleisure brand looking fat and unattractive. Wilson owns a lot of stock, but was ousted from the board and doesn’t run the company. The company, whose base consists of people who inhale anti-racism dogma along with their chai and CBT vapes, predictably disavowed his comments.
That hasn’t stopped NBC News from promoting a call for a boycott anyway.
Outside the Lululemon shop at Ponce City Market in Atlanta on Thursday, Donna Martin, a Black woman seeking yoga gear, learned that the company’s founder, Chip Wilson, had publicly bashed the notion of the brand embracing diversity.
“I don’t get it,” Martin, a project manager at a telecommunications company, said. “But I do get it. This is the world in which we live now, where someone who created a brand doesn’t want everyone supporting that brand. It’s so ridiculous.”
She shook her head. “I got the memo,” Martin said as she walked away from the store.
Whom did she learn it from? NBC News, as near as I can figure.
DEI experts like Tiffany Brandreth said Martin had the right idea: Black consumers concerned about Wilson’s latest dismissal of diversity, equity and inclusion should consider boycotting the retailer.
“There should be a loud call to action for a widespread boycott of corporations that overtly disparage and label DEI as practices rooted in racism and discrimination,” said Brandreth, an organizational psychologist who specializes in DEI. “It’s crucial for anyone who claims to be an ally for DEI to send a powerful message that these regressive values will not be supported that goes beyond mere rhetoric.”
Except that Wilson doesn’t actually run Lululemon.
Wilson founded Lululemon in 1998 and stepped down as CEO in 2013, but still owns the majority of the company’s shares, which are valued at $4 billion, according to Forbes.
Most of the mainstream media is now run to the same standards as a high-school paper, reads like one, and exists purely to air woke tantrums.
Anyway since NBC has its roots in RCA which has its roots in GE which has its roots in J.P. Morgan who supported eugenics, it’s best to boycott NBC News.
Sure, J.P. Morgan has been dead for 110 years, but you can never be too careful. It’s crucial for anyone who claims to be an ally for DEI to send a powerful message that these regressive values will not be supported that goes beyond mere rhetoric.
They seem to make expensive sneakers that are popular with looters. Every time there is a riot, their store seems to get looted.
Funny……..in the stores that the dem constituents are ransacking, the work boots are left untouched.
Lululemon is for kids and anorexics. I once tried on a pair of their pants, in my size, and I couldn’t even fit a leg in. And I am not fat. I’m just not anorexic looking.
So, that green creature in the photo above has no chance at fitting into anything Lululemon churns out? I guess she’s an automatic boycotter.
1. Everyone should be physically fit.
2. A small fraction of women are attractive in yoga pants.
3. We should seek to buy goods made in America, and explicitly eschew goods made in China.
4. “Body positivity” is not merely unhealthy; it is intentionally disruptive of our national well-being.
NBC was caught faking a Truck Explosion of a GM truck back in 1993 the fact was they rigged the whole thing then Lied about it to the viewers a Fireman blew the Whistle on them
I don’t even remember that one ….. it seems so banal now that the world is on fire
Just take a look at that sheboon, No wonder black men are miserable.
Plenty of “mud hens to go around”.
Well, look at them. They’re ugly. You can’t fix ugly.
I’m always pissed that I can’t boycott a woke company because I already don’t buy their products. I’ve switched almost all of my purchases to made in America, local, or conservative companies. Belong to AMAC, use Melaleuca for household cleaners, soaps, shampoo, vitamins, etc., shop on Public Square or shop local. Even grocery shopping I avoid the big conglomerates when it comes to sauces, canned goods, etc. The amount I spend probably is not even a drop of water in the scheme of things but I ‘m still not giving these bastards any of my money. Also got Blackrock out of all my retirement funds.
Luluemon has always been a premium brand for rich, physically fit people. It’s for those who pay big bucks to take yoga and spin classes to look waif thin and they’re willing to overpay for workout gear with the “right” logo on it. Wilson understands the value of the brand, while it seems the new leadership is willing to sacrifice it at the altar of the woke gods. So, they will sell hundreds of $20 XXXL yoga pants in Target rather than dozens of (the same) $100 yoga pants in size 0-8 in their exclusive stores. (As a side note, the sometimes-richest man in the world, B. Arnault, is the owner of luxury brands like Luis Vitton, so it’s a pretty good strategy to manage your brands’ value.)
They apparently can’t do basic market research either. Lululemon has a market capitalization of just shy of $60 billion. While Wilson is the largest Lululemon shareholder, he only owns about 8%, not “the majority of the company’s shares”, Hence his shares are valued to $.4.75 billion.
