We updated our unamericanexpress.com page so that you read the story of how one man refused to comply with woke ideology. As a result, he was interrogated and then fired. In fact, Amex canceled all his credit cards—so that he can’t even run a farm with credit anymore. Now, he is suing his former employer. Please support Nick Williams’ fight!

Are you a current or former American Express Employee?

Nick Williams is just one individual who has been sacrificed to American Express’s woke policies. But those same policies have affected so many more. If you would also like to speak out, Color Us United is here to help you tell your story (can be anonymous).

Source 10: This screenshot lays out the woke lexicon that Amex expects its employees to follow. For example, their definitions lay the foundations for dividing people by race such as regarding fellow employees as members of “marginalized groups” and deeming some as “privileged.”

Source 11: This screenshot from American Express’s Environmental, Social, and Governance report shows that they prioritize identity over merit, and assumes any attempt to do that is racist. Employees should not be pressured into boilerplate answers for these complex issues.

Source 12: This assumes that the Asian woman is inherently oppressed and that is the reason why her idea was shot down. All alternative possibilities (her ideas were poor, she has low seniority in the company, her teammates were tired, she wasn’t as articulate as someone else) are excluded in favor of victimhood.

Source 13: This creates a workplace where healthy criticism of someone else’s behavior—which is the key to personal and social growth—is discouraged in favor of political correctness.

Source 14: This screenshot wrongly assumes that everyone in American Express accepts the arguments of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This presumption creates a culture in which dissenting employees can be castigated as enemies of progress, and then immediately ridiculed. It also assumes that “allyship,” which treats people of “underrepresented groups” as victims, is accepted among Amex employees as well. All of these assertions are false and simply divide the workplace.

Source 17: American Express relies on Ibram X. Kendi’s definition of racism, rather than a traditional understanding of it. Kendi believes if someone is not “anti-racist” (i.e., accepts the wide range of political beliefs that Kendi and his friends hold), they are racist. For Kendi, there’s no such thing as simply abstaining from racism. This is a false dichotomy, which promotes political activism, not workplace cohesion or productivity. It has no place in Amex’s offices for this reason.

Source 19: This is a strawman argument, which ignores the importance of credit to business transactions. It also falsely assumes, in perfect woke fashion, that any business person who prioritizes credit when dealing with other businesses is racist.

Source 20: This document suggests that proof of racism lies in disparities, a myth long-debunked by thinkers like Walter E. Williams and Thomas Sowell. It is also forcing a narrow idea of racism upon American Express employees.
