If you drink chocolate milk you’re being diverse??

Sacbee-

Illinois Gov Bruce Rauner took part in an unusual demonstration involving chocolate milk to promote diversity in the workplace during a Black History Month event in Chicago on February 21.

Footage of the event at the Chicago Thompson Center shows Tyronne Stoudemire, Hyatt Hotels’ vice president of global diversity, asking the governor to hold a glass of milk, which Stoudemire said represented the lack of diversity in corporate American leadership: “white men, a few white women, and just maybe an Asian in technology.”

“This chocolate syrup represents diversity,” Stoudemire says, holding up Hershey’s syrup. Into the broad list of diversity, Stoudemire places “women, people of color, people with disabilities, the aging population, generation X, Y and Z.” 

“It’s really, really good,” Rauner said after taking a sip of the sugary drink. “Diversity!”

Rauner’s spokeswoman Rachel Bold did not respond directly when asked whether Rauner was embarrassed by the stunt, but wrote in a statement, “This was the event moderator’s example of diversity that an audience of all ages could see and understand. It was one of two demonstrations at the event, both of which received ovations from the crowd.”

I vow to never drink white wine again. I’m going to order the black whine wine.

  4. Chocolate milk is recommended after a workout and I just started drinking it again. Most pre-mixed chocolate milk is 1% milk fat.
    I prefer the 2% or whole milk.

    I grew up with Nestle’s Quick and you could not beat the remaining chocolaty-sugary goodness at the bottom of the glass.

    Am I diverse for it? Are you mad?

  5. Rauner has been a prop his entire term (madigan’s sock puppet).

    He has betrayed his principles, integrity and the people who elected him.

    He had the opportunity to be a positive chapter in Illinois history but is ending his term as an irrelevant footnote.

  7. After the massacre at Waco, Texas when the FBI accidentally killed 80+ people the head of the Secret Service was asked why they didn’t just merge the ATF and the FBI with the Secret Service. He answered that “when you mix dirty water with clean water you end up with dirty water”….

  18. There was crazy psychologist on TV 20 years ago who said whit people like chocolate because they want to be dark skinned and black people like white chocolate because they want to be white. Wish I could remember this lulu’s name.

  20. Then I must be a freakin’ saint in the diversity world. Everyone said I would bleed Nestle’s Quick because of all the chocolate milk I drank…until last year, when I discovered I have become Lactose intolerant.

    I guess I must be a racist now, ’cause I shun the stuff in favor of feeling well.

  24. Chocolate milk made with Hershey’s syrup is gross, and has artificial chocolate. I like the chocolate milk I get here made with whole milk from local cows and real cocoa, and if I can’t get that then Ovaltine or Nestle’s Quick will do, and if one MUST use the syrup then get Boscoe or Ubetcha and and some seltzer for an egg cream. Mmmm mmm mmm.
