Readers! A November fund-raising drive!

 

It is unfortunately time for another November fund-raising campaign to support my work here at Behind the Black. I really dislike doing these, but 2025 is so far turning out to be a very poor year for donations and subscriptions, the worst since 2020. I very much need your support for this webpage to survive.

 

And I think I provide real value. Fifteen years ago I said SLS was garbage and should be cancelled. Almost a decade ago I said Orion was a lie and a bad idea. As early as 1998, long before almost anyone else, I predicted in my first book, Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, that private enterprise and freedom would conquer the solar system, not government. Very early in the COVID panic and continuing throughout I noted that every policy put forth by the government (masks, social distancing, lockdowns, jab mandates) was wrong, misguided, and did more harm than good. In planetary science, while everyone else in the media still thinks Mars has no water, I have been reporting the real results from the orbiters now for more than five years, that Mars is in fact a planet largely covered with ice.

 

I could continue with numerous other examples. If you want to know what others will discover a decade hence, read what I write here at Behind the Black. And if you read my most recent book, Conscious Choice, you will find out what is going to happen in space in the next century.

 

 

This last claim might sound like hubris on my part, but I base it on my overall track record.

 

So please consider donating or subscribing to Behind the Black, either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. I could really use the support at this time. There are five ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation. Takes about a 10% cut.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription, which takes about a 15% cut:

 

4. Donate by check. I get whatever you donate. Make the check payable to Robert Zimmerman and mail it to

You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage or shown in the menu above.


Today’s Blacklisted American: Best Buy joins the bigotry crowd

They’re coming for you next: An anonymous employee at Best Buy has released through James O’Keefe’s new journalism outlet photographs of Best Buy’s new segregated and discriminatory management training program, specifically designed for minorities only, whites need not apply.

The picture below is from one of those photographs, cropped to show the instructions for applying to the program. The sections highlighted in red illustrate the program’s illegal and discriminatory nature.

If you have any doubt that Best Buy and its partner McKinsey & Company are doing this, you need only read Best Buy’s own press release announcing the program.

“The McKinsey Accelerator Program has been a great challenge for my leadership skillset,” said Joslyn Knight, Best Buy Distribution Operations Support Senior Analyst in Ontario, California. “Having other people of color in the program took away the façade I’ve always had to bear as a minority and allowed me to participate as a true student without having to worry about how I appear as a person of color in a space.”

Since Best Buy partnered with the McKinsey Accelerator Program in 2020, the program has expanded from one course for Black professionals to providing customized courses for those who also identify as Hispanic/Latino or Asian.

Doesn’t that sound so nice? Knight doesn’t have interact with those evil whites. He gets a clean “space” to act as a “true student”. He is so bigoted against whites he doesn’t even recognize his own bigotry.

Without question many of the managers at Best Buy and even at McKinsey have good intentions, strongly desiring to help disadvantaged minorities improve themselves. And without question those managers are also unwittingly paving the road to hell as fast as they can do it. Favor one race over another is nothing more than blatant discrimination, just another form of segregation. It violates every civil rights act passed since the 1960s, and will certainly result in lawsuits by injured white employees at Best Buy.

Even without lawsuits this racist program favoring minorities is sure to engender resentment and anger within the company. Worse, it is typical of many similar programs being installed at companies nationwide, foisted on them by Environmental, Social, & Governance (ESG) movement — exemplified by programs run by McKinsey — that demand companies set up quotas to favor minorities in hiring and training. Previous blacklist columns described such programs at Coca-Cola, at Compass Group, at hospitals, at Google, at Pfizer, at Disney, at Reuters, at investment firms, at the American Geophyical Union, at Warner Brothers, and at Cigna. In all cases the goal was to encourage minorities, but by favoring them based solely on race the program will only cause others to hate them more.

If you thought there was hatred between the races before, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Just give this program a few years to work and we will have race war.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

  • Does anyone detect the problem here?

    “As part of Best Buy’s commitment to develop and support our employees who identify as Black, Indigenous or People of Color (BIPOC), we’ve partnered with McKinsey & Company to offer the McKinsey Management Accelerator program.”

    The solution if you want to work of this now very “woke” company?

    “I identify as black”.

    Who could argue with you?

    Exactly like the DOJ and its prosecutors know that D.J. Trump did not really think he lost the 2020 presidential race. Who is to say what you identify as or if you truly think that you really did lose the race but prosecuted your attempt at taking over the government by subversive means.

    The program here is to teach responsibility… something a lot of urban kids don’t have.

    The CEO of Worst Buy just earned his $13.4 million salary…..
    According to the Corporations annual DEI Report.
    In 2022 they stretched to 13 years an 💯 Percent Score from the Human Rights Campaign CEI Ratings.!.!.

    Great 😃. My last dollar has been spent at their operations.

    Good DAY 💖

    Yeah, see? Everything will be just fine (if you have nothing to hide):

    “In this new world, we must accept transparency, and I’ll even say total transparency. Everything is going to be transparent, and you have to get used to it, you have to behave accordingly. It becomes, how should I put it, integrated into your personality, but if you have nothing to hide you shouldn’t be afraid.”
    – Klaus Schwab (spoken with a godless commie accent)

    Thanks James, we all have something to hide. That’s why we wear clothes….

    Do you think he’ll open his discussions of world domination and mass genocide for transparency sake?

    I see McKinsey and Company is at it again. In the 1980-90s, they advised energy companies to close their R&D facilities. Which they did. One can never know where ideas and resulting progress comes from, so it is not known how many valuable discoveries and developments were bypassed by McKinsey’s advice. It could have been substantial.

  • The numbers of White:Black at Best Buy accurately reflects the ratio of People interested in tech specs:talking and interacting with others.
    Face it – more White people get excited about details of technology.
    It’s a White Thing – Best Buy wouldn’t understand.

  • Linda S. Fox:

    I see on your page that you are former Liberal, how did that happen?
