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.”
i already avoid disney stuff
Completely whacked.
Disney is Chinese infiltration in the US and needs to be boycotted and shut down.
I’m re-imagining Disneyland and Disney World looking like their abandoned River Country park at some point because of junk like this.
Someday old Walt’s gonna be thawed out, revived... and mad as hell when he finds out what’s become of the House of Mouse.
What made the white man white?
Yes, the United States that has elected a black President twice, now has a ‘person of color’ as vice-President, and has 59 black, 46 Hispanic, 17 Asian, and 6 Native American members of Congress is fundamentally racist.. OK.
Just wait until they re-theme Main Street and rename it “BLM Boulevard.”
The question should be...what made Europeans privileged? The simple answer....the age of enlightenment, which I’d say it started in 1625 with the printing press, and continued on through the end of the 1700s.
When you see a person of color, who should cross over to the other side of the street; always refer to persons of color as ma’am and sir; and, be sure to smile; they like seeing that you’re happy; which, comes natural to you being the simple-minded persons you are.
Do not believe it. Minnie Mouse was fing Goofy
printing press was invented around 1440 by Gutenberg. It helped fuel the Enlightenment movements.
Time to woke coke them. Disney has become an evil enterprise unsuitable for children.
Disney deciding to go full racist and self destruct.
Disney cannot cure racism by commiting racism. This is the stuff found thru the looking glass.
Everyone should start carrying around two sheets of paper or a sample paint swatch for White and Black! When you go in to this training or are confronted by your privilege hold the swatch or white paper next to your skin. You most likely are not white but some shade of darker color depending upon your ethnic background. The same goes for a black person. They are most likely some shade of a black to a tan. With the millions of mixed race and slaves that were born of their masters... where do we get a truly white person or a truly black person? They don’t exist but for one reason- to destroy the United States of America!
“Systemic racism” is almost entirely a feature of the command-and-control freaks that dominate what passes for “progressive” liberalism today. Disney management is entirely in the thrall of this systemic abuse and torment, applying it to the people who come to their gates, and get not entertainment, but an unending brainwashing and lectures to the point of hectoring about “social distancing” and “social justice”, as an underlying theme.
It is one thing to be tolerant of LBGT+, it is another thing entirely to have rammed in our faces as the “new normal”, recruiting the young at every turn in an aggressive and highly suggestive manner.
Disney used to be Americana, and exported the same to the world. Now, the wider world is reversing the flow of that cultural appropriation and forcing it upon the outlets in this country.
Gutenbergs workshop was set up at Hof Humbrecht, a property belonging to a distant relative. It is not clear when Gutenberg conceived the Bible project, but for this he borrowed another 800 guilders from Fust, and work commenced in 1452. At the same time, the press was also printing other, more lucrative texts (possibly Latin grammars). There is also some speculation that there may have been two presses, one for the pedestrian texts, and one for the Bible. One of the profit-making enterprises of the new press was the printing of thousands of indulgences for the church, documented from 1454 to 1455.
Chesterton said tolerance is the virtue of the man that lacks conviction. Things are as bad as they are because there’s too much of it.
