Does she actually care about proper racial representation or does she just want people of black/African-American background being represented, which seems to be a recurring theme in media (calling things diverse because there’s black people, completely forgetting there are other racial and ethnic groups not represented). Thanks for trying to clap back though, maybe next time don’t throw the racist title around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that was racial discrimination from the company or maybe it happened because they took the best ones who apply and, in this case, they were whites. It wouldn't seem far stretched in a mainly white country where big companies like Reebook nearly only hire folks coming from big business schools where poc students are under-represented. In both cases racism towards poc play a role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reginald 13,841 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I'm so out of touch with shoe culture.. all I really wear are stompy boots and oxfords I don't remember Reebok being a very sought-after brand ), but just about everything Beyonce touches turns to gold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRedd 3,139 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 For those trying to prove a point because it’s Beyonce and you clearly dislike her, keep this same energy when it come to Gay representation. Imagine this: “Gaga walks out of meeting because of lack of LGBT presence” GGD Members: “Yass queen we need to be represented. We Stan a queen who stands up for us” May I Read You? 😎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so here's the thing. White people are literally not more talented than anyone else. The strongest teams are built from a diverse group of equally talented people who have rich history and culture to contribute. There are so many benefits to building teams this way, it's absurd. Of course, America is majority white, but that doesn't mean if you have a team of 5 people or especially dozens of people that you can't diversify and enrich your team with different perspectives. PLUS, if you're planning campaigns with Beyonce and likely using that to focus on people of color, you damn well better have people of color working on that campaign/project. Like, come on friend. Bottom line, everyone is talented, do the work and build diverse teams for literally everyone's benefit. disco stick tester, inquire within Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyoncé preaches equality and diversity yet she has black children slaves making her clothes and her position in the industry is built on the back of her relationship with a powerful black man. She’s practically owned herself. Don’t let her lyrics fool you. I hope her hypocrisy catches up to her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 115,703 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Good for her for knowing what she wants. Besides, cool and Reebok can never be put in the same sentence for a minute now anyway. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ✧*:・゚ scarlet needle: antares (*´艸`*) ♡♡♡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
