I realize that you don't see this story on CNN, NBC, CBS, etc. But that doesn't really surprise me. The MSM picks and chooses the stories that they consider news and want to feature on TV and their website. |

Funny how racism is downplayed when it is clearly against whites but only part of story is repeatedly reported to try to portray whites as supremacists.

What editor would allow this to be the face of your web news page ? It says NOTHING AT ALL 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? |

Your reaction is probably what Fox hoped for. And could you explain what you mean when you say racism is downplayed when applicable to whites ? You made a fantastic leap with zero facts, simply a Fox headline. Last edited by Bucco; 07-08-2020 at 08:39 PM. |

If this becomes any kind of story, I will certainly come on here and apologize, but WHAT IS THE STORY ? |

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. |

“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,” I was fortunate to have had excellent diversity training, both racial and gender, early in my career and it opened my eyes to a lot of things for the last 40+ years. |

This is white liberal self-hatred, mixed with guilt, on steroids, mixed with a strong dosage of Marxism... at some point, there should really be a medical intervention, as well as a forceful response by genuine Americans. This is the limit. Time to fix it. ...

How about “undoing blackness” instead?

Most of us are descendant from people that desperately wanted to come to America and become Americans. They were discontent in their homeland and many paid a high cost to come here. Does anyone think it is significant that of all immigrants to America, Africans did not want to come here, that they were very content with their culture and social structure. Removed from their home and forced to come here. Is it possible that we don't have a white/black problem but cultural differences. People that come here willingly (then and now) gladly throw themselves into the melting pot and soon conform to being American. We will fail if we think we can force a culture on anyone that does not want it. I hope we don't have to follow the example of Canada and have French and British co-cultures.

Don’t say the “B” Word
I was a probation officer In California for 20 years and resigned 5 years early because of this type of lunacy. Aside from all the usual affirmative action rubbish, the “B” chief had all the juveniles in custody participate in a play that depicted how slaves were sold in the marketplace, with all the adults in the play wearing white face make-up. Then she proudly displayed pictures on the County Website where she received accolades. We were eventually banned from referring to the race of a perpetrator in any Court report If they were “B”. When I left, my resignation letter stated it was because I was tired of defending myself for being caucasian. Now, apparently, we’re headed towards “Only BLM”.

Seattle
Sounds like a great idea to me. If I am unknowingly discriminating against others I would like to know so those actions, attitudes, etc can be understood and corrected. Information about my possible actions doesn’t hurt anyone. It should happen everywhere for people are open to understanding their actions and their affect on others.

If I’m interpreting this correctly, through my lens, this is probably utilizing role-playing techniques for white to experience the every-day injustices of what it feels like to be black. In doing so we White people can gain some empathy and compassion for what a person of color experiences and, hopefully, will then begin to see others as another human with equal aspirations and goals in life.

Here's the original article. It didn't take long to find it: Cult Programming in Seattle | City Journal. How about the email invitation, itself? Again, not hard to find at all: Questions about who/how many, etc., could be addressed to the author of the city-journal.org piece, but are those really the salient questions here? One might think that a governmental entity presenting this would be the real issue, but I guess if only a few people responded it's a case of no harm, no foul, right? Here's the department that sponsored this training - the Race and Social Justice Initiative (RSJI) |

I was a witness to this craziness in Cuba!!!!!
The communists have done a great job of indoctrination of teachers which in turn have indoctrinated our youth. The new “norm” is to put one race against the other, hate is all they have and are using it, they are getting away with it in some States. Something for nothing is not in reality, however this is what they want, they are looking to eliminate police, seek “Reparations” in another words some feel that white people owes them, I worked since I was 17 years old, retired at 67 years old, came over legally from Cuba and I am a proud American Citizen, I don’t owe these people NOTHING!. God Bless America, we need it more than EVER
