aka Mr Kevin Johnson,
Great news that you are closing up shop for a day and giving your employees a day of training in racial bias or as we know it, “how not to arrest the black guys without the lattes”.
You’ve pushed this off for May 29th, so you have about 6 weeks to get this dialed in and right. I congratulate your placing importance on this. I imagine you’re going to get hand outs made and someone is going to dazzle a powerpoint presentation.
I have a request. . . Can you open the doors for everyone and keep it to less than 2 hours. Each store could get in 5 or 6 classes. Our country needs some racial bias training. Frankly so do our police, after killing another unarmed black man at a Wal-Mart today.
I understand this isn’t your problem. You are trying to address a bad situation that happened in just one of your stores in Philadelphia. Racial bias rears it’s ugly head thousands of times each day. You could make a pretty large impact if you tried. We’d appreciate it if you did
Thanks,
Gilmore
