Jonah Quote #520

Quote from Jonah in Hair Care Products

Garrett: So we have two ideas to send to corporate and a list of snacks that the Black people in this room don't like.
Ken: Every room, Garrett.
Garrett: Okay, does anybody have anything actually useful?
Jonah: Uh, I... I think it might be helpful if... Oh, sorry. Nia, did you- Did you want to say something?
Nia: No.
Jonah: Are you sure? Because I don't want to make this about me if you've got something.
Nia: I don't want to make it about you either, but I don't have anything.
Jonah: Okay, uh... Okay, so look. I think it's great that we're trying to fight these racist policies, but I also think that we should be pitching actively anti-racist policies as well.
Janet: Yeah, like asking corporate to sell more products from Black-owned businesses.
Jonah: I was just gonna say that!
Mateo: Cool, let's all give credit to Jonah for Janet's idea.
Jonah: No, no. That's...
Garrett: That's going on the list, Janet.

Quote from Garrett

Glenn: [on video call] There they are! Thanks, Demetrius!
Demetrius: Yo, Jonah stopped answering his phone too.
Glenn: So Garrett. How are those pizzas? Are you enjoying them and feeling appreciated?
Garrett: People seem to like them, but I think we're good on pizza, Glenn.
Glenn: Yeah, well, it just... Some of the white employees were upset that they didn't get any pizza, and, you know, the point of all this was to make everyone happy, so...
Garrett: I thought the point of this was to apologize to the Black employees. Either they're reparations, or they're not.
Glenn: Okay, well, can't you think of it like this? Like, for you, the pizzas are reparations for racism. And for the white employees, they're reparations for not getting pizza.
Garrett: Okay, so it's an all lives matter pizza party? Fine, great. Okay, that's perfect. [over PA] Attention, all Cloud 9 employees in all departments. Please report to the break room for pizza because apparently, now everyone gets pizza. Never mind that the basic infrastructure of this country makes it so that one group of people gets way more pizza than others! Or that some of us spent over 400 years forcibly making pizza for white people!
