Cisco Fires Employees That Question Black Lives Matter During Company-Wide Racism Discussion
In
early June, dutifully doing its part to virtue signal along with the
rest of the world, Cisco Systems hosted an "all hands on deck" meeting
on race, hosted via videoconference. In the comments of the online
forum, visible to everyone, some workers questioned the Black Lives
Matter movement and were subsequently fired from their jobs,
proving once again that you can have an opinion, as long as it's the right opinion.
Chief Executive Officer Chuck Robbins talked with Ford Foundation
President Darren Walker, who is Black, and Bryan Stevenson, a Black
lawyer and author who founded the Equal Justice Initiative, during the
company's June 1 meeting in front of 30,000 employees, according to
Bloomberg.
Several people spoke out online against Black Lives Matter during these online forums.

employee commented: “People who complain about racism probably have been

systematic oppression in their own community!”
