[bright tones]

- So Glenn's still
on self-quarantine

for another week,
but he wanted me to relay

that he misses you all

and he sends everyone
his biggest, warmest hug.

If anyone wants
to report that for harassment,

I encourage you to do so.

- I'm assuming we're
in health and beauty

because the raccoons
finally claimed the warehouse.

- I like it here.
It smells like confident women.

- We are here
to right an injustice.

Effective immediately,
Cloud 9 will no longer

keep Black haircare products
in locked cases.

- Wait,
why are those locked up?

Can you huff them, or is it
more like a butt thing?

- Oh, a butt thing?
No, I think it's because

they think Black people
are gonna steal them.

- Yeah, we have
to ask for the key.

It's like a walk of shame
every time you need argon oil.

- Wait, seriously?
That was store policy?

That you had to humiliate
yourself just to get

the--al--al--almond?

The--
- What was it called?

- [stammers]
The almond oil.

- Almond.
- That's so messed up.

- Yup, that was pretty cool
of corporate to fix it.

- Oh, yeah,
it takes a lot of courage

to make a gesture this small
this late in the game.

- Look, the important thing is
it ends today.

You know, I thought my legacy
as acting manager

was gonna be the new
forklift pallet clamp,

but turns out
it's racial justice.

So...okay, Ken,
do you wanna do the honors?

- Oh!
Six-foot bubble, everybody.

And watch your fingers.
I just had these sharpened.

[chuckles]
- Ken, on the count of three,

you're gonna bolt cut us
into the 21st century.

One--
all: Two, three.

[display clatters]

- Or, you know,
since we put the lock there,

maybe we have the key.

- Less ceremonial, but fine.

- Oh, that's my house key.

This one's
Gram Gram's skate rink.

This is my Orangetheory locker.

Ah, yeah,
key to the racist lock.

- Whoo-hoo!
[scattered applause]

- Wow, so this is
what equality feels like.

- ♪ Amazing

♪ Grace
- Okay.

- Mm-mm, no.
- ♪ How sweet

Come on, everybody!

[upbeat music]

♪

- Pretty big day, huh?

Justice, one.
Racism, zero.

- I'm not sure
that's the score.

- You do realize
the hair products thing

isn't the end of racism.

It's not even the end of racism
in the store.

- Oh, is this because
Karen started here last week?

Because she's willing
to go by Jill.

- What--no.
Don't you think it's messed up

that we've never had
a Black district manager?

Or that the employee handbook
limits our hair length

to three inches...in diameter?

That basically means no afros.

- I guess I just never thought
about any of this stuff.

I mean, you've never
brought it up before.

- It's not my job to call out
every racist thing

I come up against.

It's my job to announce sales

and pretend not to notice when
people return used swimsuits.

- Yeah, you know,
this is actually exactly

what we're talking about
in my anti-racism book club.

We have the luxury of not
having to think about racism

because it doesn't
directly affect our lives.

- I would love to never hear
about that book club again,

but he's right.

- Well, let's do something
about it.

You're gonna hold a meeting,
and you're gonna compile a list

of all the racist stuff that
corporate needs to talk about.

- I'm gonna hold a meeting?
- Oh, right, sorry.

I forgot
you don't like to lead.

You prefer to sit to the side
and make snarky comments

like a balcony Muppet.
- Well, I could do it.

- No, no, no, I can do it.
- Yeah, no, of course.

You should.
You totally...

That's a great idea.
I was just trying to help.

I--I promise I wasn't trying
to, like, lead or anything.

I should decenter myself
and start listening.

- You're still talking.
- Yeah, yeah, decentering, yup.

- Okay, so I'll borrow
Eric's movie projector.

And we already have,
like, 10 camping chairs,

so that should be enough
for everybody.

- Ooh, this is gonna be so fun!

The last time
I saw an outdoor movie,

I was on shrooms,
and it turned out

to just be
a Steak 'n Shake menu.

- Oh, my God.
- Hey, guys.

What's up?

- [forced laughter]
Nothing.

Uh, we were just...
talk--talking about Europe

and how crazy it is over there
right now.

- [vocalizes]
Politics.

- Well--
- Should we feel bad

for not inviting her?

- Yeah, I guess?

- I bet she just sits at home
all day

running to the window
whenever she hears a car.

- So...should we invite her?

- Aw, that would be
so nice of us.

She'll probably cry.
- Totally.

It'll be like Christmas
for her.

- Hey.

[phone chimes]

- Hey, Garrett.
It's me, Glenn.

- Yeah, I can see you.

- So I heard about
the Black hair care products,

and I feel horrible.

I guess I just never paid
attention to those products

because most of
my Black friends are bald.

- By most, do you mean me?

- No, I have six others.

I don't know
if they're drawn to me

or me to them, but...

Anyway, the point is
I'm just so sorry.

And I wish there
was something I could do

to make it up
to the Black employees.

Any ideas?

- Uh, for how to apologize
to Black people?

- Mm-hmm.
- Glenn, look, I'm really busy.

I got this meeting coming up--
- I just feel terrible!

You gotta help me
make this right.

Oh, and for the record,

I am willing
to take a knee anywhere.

Thanks, Garrett.
- Yeah, bye.

[sighs]

- Hey, Sandra.
Guess what?

- I don't like
to guess anymore.

My mind's too dirty.
- Oh!

Okay, we're hosting
an outdoor movie night

and we want you to come.

- It's this Friday at 7:00.

Bring a camping chair
and a blanket.

But not Jerry.
We're not running a charity.

- Oh, um,
thanks for the invite,

but I don't
feel comfortable going.

- Aw, because you're not used
to being invited to places?

- No, it's just--I noticed
you guys are pretty caszh

with your COVID safety.

- What, us?
- What?

- In your Instagram post,
you're not wearing your masks.

You just have the bandana
tied around your necks.

- Yeah, so people
can see our smiles.

- They need them now
more than ever.

- Right, I just think
I'd be too anxious if I went,

but thanks for the invite.

- [scoffs]

Is she saying we're not clean?
- I think so.

Should we start a rumor
that she has hepatitis?

- No.

Not yet.

- Uh, I think it's good

that the store has unlocked
the Black hair products,

but I thought we'd make a list

of the other issues
corporate needs to address.

- You mean like how
we still sell products

with racist mascots?

- Ooh, yes, that's a good one!
Write that one down.

- Okay, that's a weird energy
to bring to this,

but okay.

- How about some new options
in our vending machines?

There are three rows
of sour cream and onion chips,

and no jalapeño.

- Okay, guys, so this list is
to come up with issues

that are affecting
Black customers and employees.

- Well, that one affects me,
my brother,

because I hate
sour cream and onion.

- Yeah, but that's more
of a you thing,

not a Black thing.

- I'm pretty sure
that's a Black thing.

Uh, raise your hand
if you are Black

and you like
sour cream and onion?

- I like sour cream.
- That's not the question.

It has to be
sour cream and onion.

Devil's combo.

Show of hands?
Hands up?

Mm-hmm, yup.

Prosecution rests.
- Okay, that doesn't prove--

- Look, I don't know
who's right on this,

but I think it might be easier
if you just wrote it down.

- [sighs]

- So we have two ideas
to send to corporate

and a list of snacks

that the Black people
in this room don't like.

- Every room, Garrett.

- Okay, does anybody have
anything actually useful?

- Uh, I--I think

it might be helpful if--
oh, sorry.

Nia, did you want
to say something?

- No?
- Are you sure?

Because I don't want
to make this about me

if you've got something.

- I don't want to make it
about you either,

but I don't have anything.

- 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.

- Yeah, like asking
corporate to sell

more products
from Black-owned businesses.

- I was just gonna say that!

- Cool, let's all give credit
to Jonah for Janet's idea.

- No, no.
That's--

- That's going on the list,
Janet.

- I think a lot of us
wanna help,

but we just have blind spots
when it comes to this stuff.

I mean, when I was growing up,
we were told the goal

was to not see race.

- Okay, see, I don't know

who started
telling white people that.

I'm assuming
it was other white people,

but you shouldn't ignore race.

You should be aware
of how being Black

affects our daily lives.

- Wait, you're Black?
I thought you were Dominican.

- What?
No.

- You're not even
a little Dominican?

Like Puerto Rican?
- That's...not how it works.

But Garrett's right.

We're dealing with
microaggressions all the time.

- Yeah, like certain employees
always asking to touch my hair.

I'm not naming names,
but if I were,

they'd be Isaac.

- I'm sorry.
Your hair looks fun.

- What?
- Dude.

- Really?
- Okay, fine.

Janet, your hair
doesn't look fun.

Is that better?
It looks like a bad time.

- No, her hair looks amazing.

- How about Justine
trying to sound Blacker

when she talks to Black people?

- Oh, that's
how you gon' do me?

- Uh, I've experienced
a ton of anti-Asian racism

since corona started.

- Yeah, customers have said

some really terrible stuff
to us.

- I've been getting that too,
and I'm Hawaiian.

- Well, you look Asian
to white people,

so don't go thinking
you're cleaner than us.

- Yeah, we're
the cleanest people here.

- I'm sick of everybody
acting like

all Black people have it worse
than white people.

Like, look at Will Smith.

His life is
way better than mine,

and our debut albums
came out the same year.

- Isaac, I guarantee,
all things being equal,

racism is harder for Black
people than it is for you.

Go on, tell them about
how your life is harder

because you're Black.
Wait till you hear this.

I think it's
gonna be pretty bad.

- Wow, really?
Um...

[scoffs]
Uh, okay.

So a couple weeks ago,
I bought a Nintendo Switch.

A white dude follows me
through the parking lot

and goes,
"You got a receipt for that?

- [groans]
- White dudes.

- So this is the kind of stuff
we're working

to address with this list.

- Uh-uh, forget the list.
We can get back to the list.

The personal stories
are breaking through.

Give us another one.

- So you just want me
to tell more stories about

messed up stuff that happened
to me 'cause I'm Black?

- Exactly.
Hit us with a big one!

- [scoffs]
Fine, okay.

Racist story time.
Gather around, everybody.

Oh, whoa!
No, no, no!

Don't actually scoot in.

- ♪ My kinda lover

♪ My kinda lover

- Man, I just wanted to change
a couple racist policies.

I didn't sign up to teach a
bunch of grown ass white people

about racism.
- Seriously.

It's like, come on, folks.

We're living in a golden age
of podcasts.

- Hey, you left the list
in the warehouse.

- Oh, okay.
Yeah, thanks.

But, uh,
I'm not doing this anymore.

- Oh.
Okay.

- Look, it's pointless,
all right?

You're new here,
so you don't get it,

but to change anything
around here is a lost cause.

I mean, just look at Jonah.
He tried to start a union.

He ended up throwing away
a whole year of his life.

- Well,
I did learn some things.

But, uh, yeah--
no, yeah, it's--it was--

I wasted that year.
- I don't know.

I mean, it seems like things

are actually
gaining some momentum.

Might as well try to change
some of that stuff, right?

- [scoffs]
Be my guest.

- Okay, so once again,
Black women are the ones

everybody expects
to drive social change.

- [grunts in agreement]

So true.

- Okay, fine.
I will do the rest of the list.

- Cool.

- Did you have to snap?

- In the moment,
it felt wrong not to snap.

- [sighs]

- Have a heavenly day.

- For your information, Sandra,

Cheyenne and I are very clean.

- Yeah, I shower
after every poo.

- And this movie night is gonna
be just as hygienic as we are.

All the chairs are
gonna be six feet apart

and we're gonna have
a bunch of hand sanitizer.

- Cool.
Well, let me know how it goes.

- And, uh, we are going to be
checking people's temperatures

every 10 minutes.

- Mm-hmm, and we're
gonna be digging a hole

for everyone to sit in
so the germs don't get out.

- What do you say?

Should we save you a...a hole?

- Look, it's nothing personal.

People just have
different comfort levels

around this stuff,
but you guys have fun.

- [scoffs]

Rude.

- I know.
She's the worst.

She's coming
to this [bleep] movie.

- [scoffs]

- And how can we pull out
all sorts of decorations

for Saint Patrick's Day,

and we don't do anything
for Juneteenth?

Leprechauns were never slaves.

- Mm-hmm,
except to their own greed.

- Yo, we gotta put MC
Cool Cloud on the list, right?

I mean, that's
clearly appropriation.

- I don't know.

I don't think
he's trying to act Black.

I just think he is Black.

- But it's a white cloud.
- So what?

White clouds can't be Black?
Black people can't be clouds?

- Dude, he was created
by a group of white executives

who are clearly obsessed
with LL Cool J.

I'm sick of looking at it.
It's going on the list.

- Hey, sorry.

Uh, Glenn wants to talk to you.

- Hey, Garrett!

You weren't
picking up your phone,

so Jonah helped Demetrius
and me track you down.

- I'm Demetrius.

I'd shake your hand, but
there's a virus going around.

- Yeah, I heard about that.
What's going on?

- Well, you never
got back to me

with your apology ideas,

so I decided to buy pizzas
for all the Black employees.

- Did you know that
this was what this was about?

- In my heart,
I feel like I might have.

- [groans]

So...as reparations

for the hair care products,
you got us pizza?

- Mm-hmm.

- Hey, pizza's
better than nothing.

- Mm-hmm.
- What?

- And Garrett,
you're pizza deputy,

so make sure that
every Black employee

gets some pizza.

And if there are
any borderline calls,

well, you get final say.

- Uh, Glenn, I can't do this.

- Look, you're having pizza.
I insist.

So start rounding up
the Black people.

Oh, I mean--uh,
just send them a text!

It's your boy, Kenan Bravo.

I'm just over here
having a little work pizza.

Make that free work pizza!

And here's the guy
we have to thank.

The MLK of the PZA.

- No, no, not thanks to me.
I don't want any part of this.

Don't want any pizza.

- Okayzzles,
more pizza for me, then.

Hashtag "boom."
Hashtag "pizza for life."

Hashtag "in crust, we trust."

- Forced pizza party.
Going on the list.

- I don't know,
even with the word "forced,"

pizza party only ever
sounds awesome.

- I know.
- Hey, Garrett.

Me and, um, some of the others
were wondering

if we could get in
on this pizza party.

- Yeah, I don't know, man.

It's, uh--
- I know.

It's a Black thing.

But you don't know what's
it like for guys like me.

Like when I'm
mowing my own lawn,

people think I'm the gardener.

I mean, they don't say,
"Hey, gardener,"

but I know they're thinking it.

- You know what?

Go ahead.
- Thank you.

Sarah, you're up.
- Sarah?

- So when I was eight,

all the white kids
came up with a chant

that went, "Sarah,
Sarah, you're so brown--"

- Okay, okay, I don't wanna be
the racism pizza judge.

Just go ahead.
Have some pizza.

- What about me?
- Oh, yeah.

You're good.
You're good.

- I hear the pizza's
from Polini's.

- Oh, man, that place is legit.

That where my parents took me
to tell me about their divorce.

- Oh, hey, guys.
Sorry.

The pizza's actually just
for our employees of color.

The break room is
kind of a safe space

for historically marginalized--
- No whites allowed!

Beat it!

- So unfair.

- I wonder if that was
the best way to say that.

- I think I nailed it.

- I just don't understand
why she wouldn't even, like--

- [groans]

I know.
What--oh.

Oh!

- Just keeping
everything sterile!

I'm, like, so OCD
about this stuff.

- Oh, is that bug spray?

- [inhales, coughs]
Yes!

It is.
[coughs]

A virus is a bug, Sandra.

- Just cleaning my hands.
Like always.

- Guys, I know what
you're doing, but it's okay.

I'm not judging you--
- Okay, let's cut the crap.

Are you not coming
because of Cheyenne?

- What?
- You think she's dirty

because she's married to Bo and
they live in that filthy house?

- You know, Bo's not dirty.
Ringworm runs in his family!

- Well, then
it's a dirty family!

- [gasps]
It's a genetic condition.

- A condition called
not washing his body.

- Oh, my God, you clearly don't
know anything about ringworm.

Ignorant--ow!

- Where do you think ringworm
comes from?

- I got sanitizer in my eye.

It burns!

- I love how pizza
is, like, the bread.

And then, the sauce.

And then, like, the cheese
puts it all together.

Yeah, mmm.

- Is this your first time
having pizza?

- Shh, there's girls here.

- There they are!

Thanks, Demetrius!

- Yo, Jonah stopped
answering his phone too.

- [sighs]
- So Garrett.

How are those pizzas?

Are you enjoying them
and feeling appreciated?

- People seem to like them,

but I think we're good
on pizza, 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--

- I thought the point of this
was to apologize

to the Black employees.

Either they're reparations,
or they're not.

- 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.

- Okay, so it's an
all lives matter pizza party?

Fine, great.
Okay, that's perfect.

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!

- This isn't about pizza,
is it?

- No, I don't think so.

- Yes!
I love pizza.

- I am so sorry.
I biffed up hard.

But I just really
need you to know

that I'm not a racist.

- Look, Glenn, I don't think
you're racist, okay?

You're just really horrible
at this kind of stuff.

- You're right.
And I--

- The user is out of minutes.

[descending tone]
He doesn't know.

Look, I'm sorry about him,
okay?

Just save all this pizza stuff

for your next
racist story time.

- There's not gonna be
another racist story time.

There shouldn't
have been a first one.

You're just as bad as Glenn.

I pointed out a few problems
I had with the store,

and you have me making a whole
list and doing a TED Talk?

I mean, hell, Jonah's been
weird and annoying all day,

but at least
he's tried to help out

without putting
the burden on me.

- Oh, wow.
Yeah--thanks.

Decentering takes
a little practice,

but I think
I'm getting better at it.

You know, I just have
a tendency to...

make things about myself.

- Look, don't bother
with the list, okay?

I'll take care of it.
- I already did it.

- Oh, well, I'll send this
to the DM as soon as possible.

Then, hopefully
she'll send it on

to the regional manager
for him to review.

And then, he'll send it
to the diversity liaison.

And then, she's gonna have
to send it on to her VP.

All told, we should get
an answer in, you know...

three to five weeks.
- Weeks?

- Look, I know it sucks.
I built a canoe in less time.

But it's a step
in the right direction.

- I guess.

- [panting]
- Oh, good.

She's still here.
- Okay.

[both panting]

Here!
In your face!

- Our corona tests
came back negative.

And they said
that's a good thing.

- When did you guys take these?

- We called out early and drove

to the rapid test center
in Illinois.

- Wow, well, congrats on your
clean bill of health, guys.

- Ah-ah-ah.

So we will see you
at movie night, right?

- Oh, well,
you guys are safe,

but won't there be
other people there?

- Yeah, but, I mean,
we can uninvite them.

It can just be us.

- What movie
were you gonna see?

- "Hereditary."

- Ooh, that's too scary for me.

- We can watch something else!
Your choice.

- Well, I've
been meaning to see

if "Herbie: Fully Loaded"
lives up to the hype.

- Done.
We'll see you there.

- Sure!
[all laugh]

- Oh, yes!
I knew we'd get her.

- Nice, so it's just gonna be

me, you, Sandra

outside your apartment watching
"Herbie: Fully Loaded."

- Yeah.

- Oh, shoot!
I forgot.

I have something on Friday.

- Cheyenne.

Cheyenne!

- Maybe you could give me
a list of slang

that's off-limits.
- All of it.

- Hey, man.
We heard your announcement.

You seemed pretty beefed.

- And you had
every right to be.

I mean, from one pizza slut
to another, I totally get it.

We got you these.

- Ten pizzas.

- Well, there aren't enough
pizzas in the whole world

to show you how sorry we are.

- Hey!

Why was this
in the box crusher?

- 'Cause it's racist and
I was tired of looking at it.

And I wasn't gonna wait
three to five weeks

for someone else
to come fix it.

- Got it.
- [sighs]

[scattered applause]

Nope.
Wrong.

- Yeah, Garrett!

- Sí, se puede.

- Not Dominican, man.

- He didn't even
take the pizzas.

- You know what?

You guys just don't get it,
okay?

Today was a perfect example

of the kind of racism
that people of color

have to deal with
on a daily basis

and how we need
to stop pretending

that white privilege
doesn't benefit us.

Today was never
about the pizzas.

It...

Okay, so it's still
not about the pizzas,

but he would like me
to grab the pizzas, so...

If you could just--
under my chin.

Yeah, yeah.
All right, okay.

Seriously!
Do the work!
