#1 Social Justice manufactured in China.

#2 Scratch H.D. off the consumer list for a few months.

There still is "84 Lumber" and a bunch of local Wholesalers. Surprisingly many local companies have competing lumber prices.

#4 The "P" word is defined as "a special benefit or advantage that may be earned or unearned."

Management might want to think really hard on that one. 'Privilege' will become the new term to denounce anyone to include themselves.

#6 At first, I thought maybe this was the Bee's satire. My second thought was that Alex Parker (if that's a real person) was overly-focused on wokeness and whiteness in his articles. I never thought HD employees were "white-privileged oppressors." They were helpful and friendly.

I'm going with #1's assessment--Red China propaganda at work via Tik Tok. I saw a recent Tik Tok ad featuring a cute girl of about 15 with perfect features and clothing. At the time I thought maybe she was a cyborg.

#7 /\ The "privileged" meme is obviously very destructive to the gov't and military structures. It's a highly effective propaganda tool for the Chinese. Using the private sector (Chinese box stores) venue to assist with dissemination is a good play.

Other excellent Chinese plays we have seen in the past, and continue to suffer are the infiltration of academia and S&T.

But perhaps I am wrong. Trends surfacing at Box Stores, academia, Science and Technology, and pro-China attitudes within the Beltway could simply be amazing coincidences.

#8 Seems the CA higher education establishment and the Ivy League already classify Asians as privileged. The effect seem counter to 'their' people.

I've been thinking of getting a concrete Jesus and painting him to look like he's wearing a black leather vest and shades. Cool Jesus.

The biker community down here could relate. I'd imagine Jesus could too.

#10 If they're working at Home Depot they are NOT privileged.

#11 This is especially annoying is Home Depot customers are workers not privileged elites. I'd sell their stock if I had any.

#12 I wonder what percentage of their customers are white? I'm with NN2N1, you also get better service at the local yards. You're better off not even asking 90% of their staff a question about anything.

#14 Wow. Sitting in a HVAC office dreaming up ways to make box humpers feel bad.

#15 They could progress to making customers walk up to a plastic negro and apologize for their privilege during billing.

Perhaps it's time for a store retro-image makeover.

#17 ...get that motto, Arbeit macht frei, over their door entrances too.

#18 A spokeswoman from Home Depot’s US headquarters confirmed to The Post that the white privilege notice was material from its Canadian division. She said it hadn’t been approved by the company’s diversity and inclusion department. The flyer had a Home Depot logo at the top.

"Diversity and inclusion department"?
Oh hell yes it was approved.
