Seattle City Gov Sponsoring ‘White Fragility’ Workshops

The City of Seattle is sponsoring two taxpayer-funded workshops on “white fragility” as part of a series of “racial equity” workshops put on by the city’s Office of Arts and Culture throughout August and September.

The two “white fragility” workshops will take place on August 17 and September 7, running four hours each. The workshops will focus on “the specific way that racism manifests through White Fragility.” (The city website defines “white fragility” as “the inability for white people to tolerate racial stress.”) Each workshop also “provides the perspectives and skills needed for white people to have more constructive cross-racial interactions.”

I'm ashamed to say Seattle is my hometown.

.The latter workshop will be lead by Scott Winn, co-founder of Seattle’s Coalition of Anti-Racist Whites...

Incredible what the disease of liberalism does to one's brain.

Exactly. This is weird and crazy. Are these people that crazy? Taxpayer funds on this? Are they out of their mind?

Sounds like they’re trying to head off the inevitable white flight as the area fills up with foreigners/”others”...

I left there in 2002 for Texas. Never looked back. I do miss seeing Mt Rainier every day (at least when it wasn’t raining).

I left Seattle 5 years ago, after 45 years. Second best decision I ever made (second only to marrying my wife).

I crack up at the hijinx going on there. I understand they want to tax septic systems. :)

Tax-payer funded.

How many tax-payers agreed to fund this bull-shit?

I know the feeling. I miss seeing Mt. Rainier twice a year too.

One of my kids lives in Seattle. Thankfully liberalism hasn't affected her.

Just love the Seattle traffic when I visit her :-(

Your right to be ashamed. The entire L coast is a cesspool of stupid. When I was there it was like living in a foreign country. I was VERY happy to leave!

If I lived in Seattle, I wouldn’t. Talk about self-hating Whites!

Wow, the city of Seattle must have taxpayer money to burn. Never heard of a municipality that had money to throw away on ridiculous garbage like this. Pave the roads, keep the libraries open longer hours. Let people sort out their own thoughts.

Government changing who they are racist towards, is still racism.

The traffic is one of the reasons I left five years ago. It’s MUCH worse now.
