According to a trove of whistleblower materials, Disney has launched a “diversity and inclusion” program, called “Reimagine Tomorrow,” which includes trainings on “systemic racism,” “white privilege,” “white fragility,” “white saviors,” “microaggressions,” and “antiracism.”
Disney claims that America has a “long history of systemic racism and transphobia” and tells employees they must “take ownership of educating yourself about structural anti-Black racism” and “not rely on your Black colleagues to educate you,” which is “emotionally taxing.”
White employees are told to “work through feelings of guilt, shame, and defensiveness to understand what is beneath them and what needs to be healed.” They must “listen with empathy [to] Black colleagues” and “not question or debate Black colleagues’ lived experience.”
Disney tells employees they should reject “equality,” or “equal treatment,” and instead strive for “equity,” or “the equality of outcome.” They must “reflect” on America’s “racist infrastructure” and “think carefully about whether or not [their] wealth” is derived from racism.
Disney sponsored the creation of a “21-Day Racial Equity and Social Justice Challenge” and recommended it to employees. The challenge begins with a lesson on “systemic racism” and tells participants they have “all been raised in a society that elevates white culture over others.”
Next, participants are asked to complete a “white privilege checklist”: “I am white,” I am heterosexual,” “I am a man,” “I still identity as the gender I was born in,” “I have never been raped,” “I don’t rely on public transportation,” and “I have never been called a terrorist.”
Finally, participants are told they must “pivot” from “white dominant culture” to “something different.” The document claims that “competition,” “individualism,” “timeliness,” and “comprehensiveness” are “white dominant” values that “perpetuate white supremacy culture.”
Disney recommends that employees read a how-to guide called “75 Things White People Can Do for Racial Justice.” The article tells readers to “defund the police,” “participate in reparations,” “decolonize your bookshelf,” and “find and join a local ‘white space.’”
Finally, Disney has launched racially-segregated “affinity groups” for minority employees, with the goal of achieving “culturally-authentic insights.” The Latino group was named “Hola,” the Asian group was named “Compass,” and the black group was named “Wakanda.”
Maybe Disney could have Discount Days for only blacks to be in their parks. They could do this for the whole month of June.
if they re- theme Main Street and make it BLM boulevard....
Burned out store fronts, graffiti, and they will play “F8ck the Police” instead of “It’s a Small world”.
Can’t wait to miss that.
I think they've discovered their "problem", though they're too woke to realize it.
They've been raised in a society created and built by people of white, European ancestry, commonly known as Western Civilization. There are many societies that were created and built by black, brown and yellow culture they could become a part of if they find white culture so oppressive.

Whoever created such a ridiculous, hate filled policy should be exorcised, like an evil spirit, and consigned to the abyss.
Who are these mental cases who THINK they know what is going on inside my brain??????
Year 2030: Soylent Green is people with IQ<80.
Many American parents seem to have a Disney trip (or pre-COVID, even a cruise) on their bucket list for the kids.
I hope they reconsider channeling a large chunk of money to a CRT business. Heck, just donate it directly to BLM.
I’d love to see Disney Land and Disney World after a month of blacks rampaging through them. Disney really deserves that.
Self hate must be a terrible burden.
I would like to see the Disney properties bulldozed after it goes broke. Cancel Disney the way Pharaoh tried to cancel Moses.
BLM is a joke around here. BLM hangs around the edge of campus where white, woke chicks are sitting around, stuffing their fat faces with bags of potato chips and guzzling two-liter bottles of woke coke.
It’s a 21st century version of a leper colony.
I’ve seen some pretty pasty white folks at the beach. Just sayin!
Insanity
Disney isn't thinking this one through.
Equality of outcome means everyone should be paid the same regardless of work.
IF I were a woke Disney employee, I'd be pushing this one.
I am curious as to what a white sheet of paper looks like up against one of the pasty folks skin... I haven't tried it yet...
