Foot in mouth for North Face

The North Face offers 20% discount for completion of racial inclusion and allyship course

Outdoor clothing and gear giant The North Face is offering customers a 20% discount if they complete a digital course on racial inclusion and allyship.

So, do black people also get a discount for learning that white people are bad? Or only white people. And does that mean that admitting to white privilege allows more privilege with the discount?

Come on marketing department - you had one job!

 

[higginsworksforme]

I looked for this training course on their site yesterday and couldn't find it. I want my discount.

This will be good for TNF. Their core market demographic is chronically afflicted with white guilt. They’ll take the course for the opportunity to pay a 20% premium for being white.

 

[ggmanning]

NF business is likely 99.92% white and they feel the need to label inanimate objects and locations as oppressive. Sad commentary on our clown world. They used to be really good technical gear and equipment in the 80's....then they shifted to garnering the suburban woke mom and kool middle skooler market.

TNF originally made very good gear. Have sleeping bags, tents and the Expedition Parka system that are over 25 years old and still performing. Then they sold out to a clothing conglomerate and went to shit.. I wouldn't own any of their new crap.

 

[Srgt. Hulka]

This goes right along with NBC saying that black people need to stop camping in white people's camp sites.

 

[PostOak]

Their stuff is standard issue for yuppies anyway. No big loss.

 

[Mr.BR]

I don't think this came with -20% cupon

 

[Arc Light]

I would pay 20% more to NOT have to wear that leftist inspired, self-loathing, made in China crap. Besides, I enjoy my white privilege when outdoors and it will take at least a 50% coupon for me to reconsider

Fuck, game the system. If there is something that you need/want, take the course. Get good- like professionally trained- at white privilege.

 

[Milf Dots]

I gots me some Timbuh-lands and Norf-Face.

 

[lonegunman762x51]

Honestly, fuck them and their tree faggot clothes. Let them sell their shit, petroleum made and carbon filled synthetic bullshit clothes to the folks in the ghetto. That company does not make a single product that does not include at least 50% petroleum products. The biggest idiots in the world buy this shit and then wear it in public.

 

[TheHorta]

Notice is says “complete” and not “pass.”

I assume I still get the discount if I fail?

 

[Baron23]

Fuck them and the horse....etc.

And yes, there probably aren't a lot of black Americans rock climbing or white water canoeing. On the other hand....have you looked at an NBA game lately? Right.

The hilarious part is these woke commercials that I saw before I stopped watching any television. You know the ones with black people surfing, canoeing, swimming in the ocean, etc. No self-respecting black person is getting near a body of water, just doesn't happen

 

[Charmingmander]

I can get equivalent products out of Chyna. Their stuff really isn't special and arguably never was.

That is exactly right. No one is keeping anyone from camping and other outdoor activities. It's simply that a large number of black people are not into that.

But I think this is more about the incessant racism that white people are bad or oppressors or privileged because we are white.

What is the word for defining people by the color of their skin? Racism. Instead of culture.

Now, to flip that around and really get some cogs burning and grinding, is culture uber alles? For example, where did twerking come from? Who brought that into "culture"?

Hey rassists, pitter patter!

It's strategic. And, it could work for TNF. Dick's stopped selling guns and their revenue went up. Bud Light hired a trans spokesperson and their revenue went down. The marketing department needs to know their market. Soccer moms don't buy a lot of guns, so Dick's move worked. Low brow beer drinkers ain't in to activism, so Bud's was a miss. The TNF demo is awash in white guilt, and could eat this up...

 

[232593]

What would be fucking hilarious is if some group like Patriot Front went and had their members take that class, get that discount, and wear North Face shit to their next event.

 

[Ric O'shay]

Well I have zero fucking white guilt, so I guess my comfy cap gets Goodwill bin. Fucking Assholes.

I haven't purchased any of their shit in a long time. I like Arcteryx, but I am sure they're into DEI too. Any other good ones out there who are not into DEI?

Yeah, and boy was that a Dick move.

Haaaa Haaaa Ha . They started out as K Mart shit brand and somehow became da high fellooty wokey woke schnobby snobb brand . Shitz probably made in Vietnam any way , fuggem .

That's a nasty thing to say about Vietnam.

" These decisions were met with backlash from gun-rights advocates and caused a significant financial loss for Dick’s. But in a recent interview with CBS Sunday Morning that took place in the Pittsburgh area, Stack doesn’t seem all that worried about it.

When asked how much he estimated he'd lose following the decision to stop selling to people under 21, Stack said “a quarter billion dollars,” or $250 million.

Stack was then asked how much Dick’s actually lost and he said “about a quarter of a billion. Pretty close.”. "

Dick’s Sporting Goods CEO feels fine about losing $250 million following gun-sale restrictions

Edward Stack, CEO of the Ohio-based Dick’s Sporting Goods, has taken some controversial stances on gun sales over the years. In 2012, after the mass...

[atomic41]

They did it wrong. You're supposed to charge crackers 20% more and they would gladly pay it to help wash off their guilt. Dummies.

 

[reelserious]

Fuck them, yet another company that is dead to me.

 

[atomic41]

Any other good ones out there who are not into DEI?

Egard watches are very anti-woke. Look up their commercials.

 

[Milo 2.5]

The north face, marmot, patagonia, eddie bauer, all cater to wannabees. Columbia is a wash today, but a company that really took a shit is Woolrich.

 

[Ronws]

In other words, if we admit or allege white supremacy, because the poor black man is oppressed by our white skin, then we get a discount?

Are they trying to incentivize and reward white supremacy?

 

[anon]

Then there was the time they wouldn't do an Oil and Gas group buy.

 

[ggmanning]

Not that I know of anyway. I buy gear for the quality and NF has gone down hill IMO. Still have a Grizzly Peak parka, Big Foot sleeping bag and 4 season mountain that are execellent after many years. They don't make that kind of gear anymore. Now Imostly buy Kiui and Pnuma for clothes. They are probably woke as hell too like all corporate entities today.

 

[candyx]

Racial inclusion . I have in my younger years partaken in jungle love from time to time doesn't that count for the 20% discount towards one of those over priced Chinese jackets ? In case your wondering it doesn't rub off my dick is still white ......

I really think we should start conquering again. Probably wouldn't be that hard.

Don’t think I have ever seen knuckle dragging monkey in a camp site camping and if so my dog wouldn’t like them period.

 

[Son of Dorn]

But I think this is more about the incessant racism that white people are bad or oppressors or privileged because we are white.

I was called a bleach-ass cracker at work a few nights ago and threatened with injury and death because I wouldn't open an inmate's door at 0100 and because I was falsely imprisoning him.

I'm sure I'm one of those oppressors. Never mind the majority of my coworkers and my sergeants aren't white...

 

[BuildingConceptsllc]

Fuck, game the system. If there is something that you need/want, take the course. Get good- like professionally trained- at white privilege.

No. I don't want anyone seeing me where that crap

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I had started the application process to Richardson (Texas) PD. Kind of an open draft, if you will. I passed physical agility with no problems. But I realized it really is a vocation and just not for me. A few years later, I applied to be a DSO at the Dallas County to work at Lew Sterrit JC.

The only reason I could not continue the interview process is because I honestly answered that I had smoked marijuana within the previous 6 weeks. Not a deal breaker, just re-apply in 6 weeks when you know you can piss clean.

By then, the shine had worn off on being a DSO. And yeah, I could imagine having to deal with inmates like that.

Some people just ain't right in the head. Others are just assholes. And some just make you wonder how they can possibly think their behavior is going to work.

On Thursday apparently some dingdong pretended to drown himself in his own toilet... Except the cameras clearly show he's faking. His face wasn't even wet.

Another does weird stuff like shit on trays or act like he's possessed because he thinks it'll get his sentence/charges dropped. You can't make it up.

You will feel better if you burn it

Like Cpl Klinger wearing a dress and hoping for a section 8 medical discharge for psychiatric reasons. Didn't work.

Except with Klinger it was played for comedy and he had pretty good reason to not want to be in a warzone.

The idiots in jail just don't want to face the consequences of their crimes. I've seen their charges and it's their own fault for doing what they did.

In any case, we're straying off topic a bit. As far as North Face goes, I've never owned a single piece of their clothing. Never wanted to. But they do seem like the kind of brand that would be hand in hand with the alleged "inclusivity" thing. Far removed from the serious mountain-climbing origins of the 60s and just hipster-wannabe-outdoorsy now.

 

[Big Phish]

You can add carhartt since they share the same bed nf.

 

[LuckyLuke80]

Rei, north face, Patagonia, Carhartt, yeti, and a host of other “outdoor” suppliers are woke and don’t deserve a dollar.
