Illinois governor drinks chocolate milk to demonstrate his commitment to diversity
When will this sort of political correctness insanity end? And yes, I know he's a pub.
Quote:In an awkward onstage appearance this week, Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner drank a glass of chocolate milk to demonstrate his belief in diversity.
"It's really, really good," Rauner said after taking a sip of the sugary drink. "Diversity!"
The clunky corporate metaphor was the brainchild of Hyatt Hotels diversity and inclusion executive Tyronne Stoudemire, who appeared alongside Rauner on Wednesday at the downtown Chicago Thompson Center to discuss workplace diversity at a Black History Month event.
Enlisting Rauner as his lanky magician's assistant, Stoudemire, who is black, poured a glass of milk to represent the white men who lead most organizations (including, um, the state of Illinois).
"This chocolate syrup represents diversity," Stoudemire said, before squirting a healthy dash of brown syrup that immediately sank to the bottom of the glass.
"When you look at most organizations, diversity sits at the bottom of the organization," Stoudemire continued. "You don't get inclusion until you actually stir it up."

Good enough for Illinois government work, I guess.

When it comes to Illinois politics, NOTHING surprises me.
I mean, how many other states have the distinction of Governors from BOTH parties being put in the federal pen?

The state will also soon give us the first president put in the federal pen.

It is a reelection year I guess. Annoying primary ads keep clogging the airwaves...
