The other day, we told you how Allstate decided it was a good idea to record and play a woke video featuring CEO Tom Wilson before the Sugar Bowl. In the video, he lectured us about 'our addiction to negativity' and to 'accept people's differences.'
On a normal day, this would have been insulting enough. But this came right after 14 innocent Americans were killed in a terror attack. So it was a slap in the face to the victims and their families. The problem wasn't they didn't 'accept people's differences' or that they were '[addicted] to negativity.'
They were killed by a radical Islamic terrorist.
The backlash was well deserved, quick, and apparently so overwhelming Allstate has now deleted the message:
Allstate, the corporate sponsor of the Sugar Bowl, appeared to wipe its social media of a video message from CEO Tom Wilson after his remarks following the terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans sparked massive backlash online.
In the message played for fans Thursday prior to kickoff in the College Football Playoff quarterfinal game between Georgia and Notre Dame, Wilson stated that Americans should overcome an "addiction to divisiveness" and instead "accept people's imperfections and differences."
"Wednesday, tragedy struck the New Orleans community. Our prayers are with the victims and their families. We also need to be stronger together by overcoming an addiction to divisiveness and negativity," Wilson said in the video.
We wonder if people will leave Allstate for other insurance companies that don't do something so utterly tone deaf.
Go woke, to broke.
Not only do they play the 'let's be friends' card, this is the 'we're going to imply this terror attack is somehow your fault' card.
It's the condescension.
Yep.
It sure does.
They live in such a bubble of woke they can't imagine why it was so offensive to the vast majority of people.
Because, like we said, they live in a bubble.
They have no shame.
No, we don't.
