Rosalind Brewer, CEO of Sam’s Club, has come under fire for remarks she made in an interview with CNN recently about the diversity of the hiring process and condemnation of white males.
In fact, a movement to boycott Sam’s Club over the comments appears to be gaining momentum.
“It has to start with top leadership,” Brewer told CNN recently, according to Yahoo Finance. “My executive team is very diverse and I make that a priority. I demand it within my team.”
Basically, Brewer demands putting the color of a person’s skin over the quality of work someone can provide. That’s not only bad management; it’s racism.

“Just today we met with a supplier and the entire other side of the table was all Caucasian males,” she also said. “That was interesting. I decided not to talk about it directly with (the supplier’s) folks in the room because there were actually no females, like, levels down. So I’m going to place a call to him.”
So, Brewer is going to call the supplier’s CEO to discuss the lack of females representing his company; we call that sexism.
