I posted an article rrom one year ago that showed a single yoga instructor who shopped the idea, and the city and area simply ostracized her.
So what city workers went ? The ONLY DETAIL was the one date.
You can rail on the MSM all you want, but this is simply "stirring the pot" to satisfy....not sure who.
Even if there is more, and what I read that seems implausible, why would you run a story from this gentlemans twitter account with zero information?

First, I have no idea if this is true or not.
What is the story/news?
I worked for a very large corporation all of my career. I attended a number of "training" sessions like this (one many years ago was a training session on women in the workplace - how "the good old boy network" treats women, etc). It had a very similar "purpose" as the training session in Seattle.
In the training sessions I attended, it was a mixture of men, women, black, white, etc. It was a discussion. Women talked about demeaning experiences, etc. It was a learning session for all.
This session was "a segregated training session for white staffers in which they instructed workers on how to ‘undo their whiteness’ and
affirm their ‘complicity in racism." One handout reportedly said 'white staffers must give up ‘the land’ and their ‘guaranteed physical safety’ in order to be an ‘accomplice’ for racial justice'.
The email said ‘
We’ll examine our complicity in the system of white supremacy – how we internalize and reinforce it – and begin to cultivate practices that enable us to interrupt racism in ways to be accountable to Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) folks within our community.’
Again, I have no idea if this is true. But the wording of this memo seems to assume all those white staffers are racist.
I think there are people who would find "holding training sessions for "white people" to teach them how to undo their whiteness and how they are complicit in white supremacy" news.
I found it interesting. So it's news to me.
