A King County agency hosted a radical seminar that claimed dieting and traditional concepts of health are racist. But it was the rules for who could attend that were racist: it purposefully excluded white people.
In fact, when a white person showed up, he was banned from the meeting. And county officials tried to cover this controversy up.
The King County Department of Human Resources announced the remote workshop, “Anti-Blackness and Diet Culture,” in an all-staff email newsletter. It was part of the county’s Balanced You program, which focuses on staff wellness. Tacoma-based Liberating Jasper, which conducted the workshop, claims dieting is harmful to black people, and that “Western ideals of attractiveness and health are steeped in whiteness.” It even implies that obesity can be healthy.
Despite claims to the contrary, the workshop intentionally excluded white people. Indeed, the event was promoted both publicly and privately for “BIPOC employees only.”

One white King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) staffer was banned from the Feb. 17 workshop due to his race.
According to the complaint, obtained via public disclosure request, the incident occurred moments after the staffer turned on his webcam.
“During the first few minutes I had my front facing camera turned off and was enjoying the training,” the employee said in an email to Interim Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall. “I turned my front facing camera on and was promptly removed from the training. I am a White male County employee. I said nothing in the training and my microphone was on mute. I tried to rejoin the training and was blocked from doing so as it said I was removed by the host.”

Abort millions of black babies per year. Check
Stop healthy diets claiming diets are racist. Check
Exercise is white supremacy. Check
Do you think there is a pattern here?
It's easier to just give up and shift the blame.
“It even implies that obesity can be healthy.”
Remember when blacks claimed that white purposely sold drugs in their hoods to kill them off? Now it’s done with food!
Said no private-sector employee ever!
Regards,
What are they going to do when all Whiteys have been wiped out? who will they blame for their failures? whose money will pay for their drugs, crime and self-inflicted pathologies?
Regards,
If you call the King County Human Resource Department, they are claiming this is not true.
The phone number is (206) 296-7340, ext 2 seems the most direct.
Is this a false internet story? They said it did not happen. Maybe someone else can call them and find out.
Big Pharma wants the slaves obese and sick.
Money, money, money, money, money, money!
The “narrative” is that is was “technical difficulties”....
;-)
Sounds like the old “Outer Limits” intro..

” This is the one designed to be a safe space for BIPOC employees only.
So can non-black heterosexuals have “safe space” employees only seminars? Imagine the fireworks with that.
It would be hilarious if an outside person or agency were to sponsor a seminar for “people of European ancestry only to give them a safe space where they can discuss issues that are pertinent to their concerns without fear of violence or retribution” and make it a point to not allow any so-called “bipocs” in.
Oh and hire a group of the biggest, burliest, meanest looking bikers and veterans for security.
Wouldn’t that be fun?
It appears that the court is admitting that most black females are obese.
That’s been my observation. Most black women who work in support roles at the VA hospital in Houston are HUGE. A lot of the black males in support roles are also obese. In fact, there are about as many white men working at the VA as man working as recaps at airports.

Take our racist course and die! Ignore good advise on eating healthy and die.
Yes, we really care about the health of minorities, only if we get paid well. Otherwise, let them eat cake, lard, fried foods, sodas, lots of alcoholic beverages, and fatback.
But just remember, no White bread. It’s racist!!!
