I understand that some may say...well, this can't be true - it's reported by Fox News.
But - where else in the Mass Media would something as gut-wrenching as this be published. Seems as if so many cities are INTENTIONALLY creating division and racial strife.

Seattle held 'segregated' training session on 'undoing whiteness,' encouraged staffers to forfeit 'guaranteed physical safety'


The City of Seattle held a racially segregated employee training session aimed at White staffers and instructing them on "undoing your own whiteness" in order to be held accountable by people of color, according to documents obtained by a public records request.

The session took place on June 12, as protesters took part in the so-called "Capitol Hill Organized Protest" in the Capitol Hill district.

Christopher F. Rufo, an editor for City Journal and director of the Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth and Poverty, said he filed a public records request regarding the training session. On Monday, he published copies of the materials distributed to employees in the session on his Twitter account.

According to his screenshots, the Office of Civil Rights hosted a two-and-a-half-hour “Training on Internalized Racial Superiority for White People.”

In the email invitation to the event, the office asked “city employees who identify as white to join this training to learn, reflect, challenge ourselves, and build skills and relationships that help us show up more fully as allies and accomplices for racial justice.”

“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,” the email invitation said.

The name of the initial sender was redacted. Rufo claimed, “the City of Seattle has refused to provide the names of the diversity trainers, the budget for the program, or the video of the session.”

“I'm going to keep pushing—because this is exactly the kind of thought-policing they want to implement everywhere,” Rufo tweeted. “The new cultural revolution is being fought via corporate HR, city diversity training, and public school curriculums. When you find something like this in your community, expose it, criticize it, mock it, and reject it.”

Those who attended the session were shown handouts, including one that encouraged them to cultivate “networks with other white people who are practicing antiracist accomplicehood so you can talk through your struggles in the work of undoing your own whiteness.”

Diversity trainers instructed White employees in “practicing self-talk that affirms our complicity in racism.”

“Racism is not our fault but we are responsible,” one bullet point declared.

In order to be considered “accomplices,” White employees must give up “comfort,” “guaranteed physical safety,” “expectations or presumptions of emotional safety,” “control over other people and over the land,” and “relationships with some other white people.”

White employees were also urged to give up “niceties from neighbors and colleagues,” “the certainty of your job,” and “accepting jobs and promotions when we are not qualified, including racial equity jobs.”

Employees were presented with a flowchart that demonstrated how “white people keep the system going” by being socialized “to cause harm to POC,” “justify why we are superior and have been wronged by POC,” “use anger, self-righteousness and defensiveness [to] mask fear, shame, or guilt,” “show up small and inauthentic,” and finally are “unable to imagine a way forward that comes from a place of humanity,” thus reinforcing the status quo.

Those who attended the session were also shown a datasheet titled “Assimilation into Whiteness,” which claimed to document how those of Arab, Jewish, Finnish, German, Italian, Armenian or Irish descent still classify as White.

Employees were taught how to “interrupt” their whiteness by being “honest and implicate yourself either in the moment or in past experiences in which you acted or thought similarly.”

“Don’t blame others. Don’t distance. Don’t make yourself seem 'better.' None of us is,” a handout said. “You are also white and what someone else did today you may do tomorrow.”

A two-column chart also listed characteristics that defined “Internalized Racial Oppression.”

“Internalized Racial Superiority,” was defined by perfectionism, individualism, imposition, arrogance, paternalism, silence, intellectualization, control, violence, comfort, appropriation, cognitive dissonance, objectivity and “anti-blackness.”

Meanwhile, “Internalized Racial Inferiority” was defined by colorism, isolation, protectionism, addiction, self-doubt, self-hate, rage, shame, denial, assimilation, ethnocentrisms, distancing, exaggerated visibility, hopelessness, apathy, erasure, invisibility, “anti-blackness.”

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Sad

One would hope those idiots can be sued into oblivion

[Stu from NYC]

Wonder what would happen if one of Seattle's major employers like Microsoft would basically say ok were leaving if you do not stop this crap

Anybody that believes this bs belongs in a mental institution!

My cousins daughter has two masters degrees and another degree for Special Ed. She was told she might have to give up her job so they can give it to a black person. She was also told if she is able to keep her job she will have to write a letter about being white privileged. What ever happened to earning and working for you have in life. Are we all supposed to just give it away, bank accounts, houses, jobs, etc. A crazy world right now for sure.

Unbelievable.

Thankfully the lunacy of Seattle doesn't stretch too far from the city limits. I live about 50 miles north of the city and people are pretty much normal out here in the country..

This seems to me to violate the basic of all rules I have been cramping my typing finger to restrain myself to comply with on this site. Please let me know if we loosened up.

A new public school requirement in Seattle is a course called “How Mathematics Oppresses Minorities”. So I am not surprised by what you say. Big Tech is complicit with BLM in dehumanizing and denigrating whites so when blacks take their jobs and terrorize them with rioting and destroying their businesses it is not criminal and is justified. The dehumanization of white people by BLM is exactly what Hitler did to the Jews in Germany. And blacks who make anti semitic remarks are given a free pass. Beware!

I’ve heard the rhetoric mentioned in OP’s post before: it was the Communist agenda. It was supposed to bring equality to the “suppressed workers”. It did bring equality, to everyone except Communist party members, everyone lost everything they had, became equally dirt poor and equally oppressed and terrorized.

Seattle does not represent the rest of America!
If the report is true/accurate it has to be illegal on so many levels.

There would also be some fallout from the whites supposedly being trained.
They are not all socialist/radical robots just nodding and going along.

As Paul Harvey would say....and now for the rest of the story......

[karostay]

Our ruling body has lost all respect for our founding constitution..
Time to resurrect Paul Revere

By the way, I’ve heard the rhetoric mentioned in OP’s post before it was the Communist agenda.

OPPRESSION: prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or control.
many students in our freshman course in Calculus would agree with that definition, but I enjoyed Calculus. It was sad when after the first semester so many students dropped out
