And in making darned sure that any white folks who attend will be fully immersed in the cancer of White Guilt, and that all other attendees will be fully 'educated' as to the methods of extracting what they want from white people, and using this 'guilt' as a bludgeon to get it.
I have a coworker that will be attending this charade, and getting paid to do so.
How very sad. Judging by my father's and grandparents' first-person accounts, the Nazis didn't go this far. The Hitler Youth was voluntary. People who didn't want to participate weren't ostracized, fired, jailed, or beaten.
If your co-worker had refused even after being told that she would be paid, I wonder if her job might be in jeopardy? If not, perhaps the scarlet letter of Refusenik would be attached to her personnel file by the local Gauleiter/ Diversity Coordinator ? Surely this would affect promotions, as this Independent Voice would be going against The Collective Will.
Can't wait to hear what she has to say about it.
I advise caution. Upon return, if her eyes are glazed, her speech patterns stilted or she wants to put what appear to be large organic 'pods' in your car or your bedroom, then you will know that her will was broken and she has Crossed Over to the Dark Side.
That time passed years ago, FRiend, lost to the Prevailing Prevarication Formerly Known As American Culture. Undergraduate-teaching victimology associate professor, with eyes and ears that only hear the incessant drumbeat of "injustice", and works with "ethnic" worshiping fellowships, who, of course are only identified by ethnicity. A true and horribly-ironic disservice, if you ask this oppressive capitalist.
Can't wait to get the hell out of here, in spite of the great normal folks that should prevail, but are too busy with mundane things like working for better unaccountable lives.
