American Express invited great-grandson of Nation of Islam founder to give 'capitalism is racist' talk: Staff were forced to undergo CRT training to 'identify their privileges'
Internal documents show how the banking giant is telling its workforce that the capitalist system that pays their salaries was founded on 'racist logics'. Khalil Muhammad (right), the great-grandson of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad, spoke at a company event telling Amex workers that capitalism was based on 'racist logics and forms of domination' and that they are 'complicit' (inset). Other documents reveal how Amex has created an 'anti-racism initiative' for its workforce on 'systemic racism', 'white privilege' and 'microaggressions' (left). Amex's revenue grew 6.5% in the last fiscal year to a whopping $31.36 billion while the CEO took home a total salary package of $24.2 million in 2020.
