article - "he questioned the existence of white supremacy at the company"

Not the same

2 comments

The article contains multiple interpretations of what was said, including the one the parent comment used.
> Ryan Singer, had been suspended and placed under investigation after he questioned the existence of white supremacy at the company

>“I objected to an employee’s statement that we live in a white supremacist culture. White supremacism exists, and America’s history of racism still presents terrible problems, but I don’t agree that we should label our entire culture with this ideology.

From Ryan Singer.

The employee has made it abundantly clear through multiple channels that that the parent interpretation is not a belief he holds
The actual quote from the article:

> “I strongly disagree we live in a white supremacist culture,” Singer said. “I don't believe in a lot of the framing around implicit bias. I think a lot of this is actually racist.”

That looks much closer to "one of the senior management team said white supremacy does not exist" than "he questioned the existence of white supremacy at the company."
