My wife is a teacher and was teaching in rural Indiana. (There were only 2 blacks and 5 Asians in a K-12 school.)
In diversity training she pointed out that this was a bunch of “horse-hockey” because there was no black/white problem.
BUT, the 1-8 grades had about 30% Amish and there was pretty bad harassment and violence of the Amish. So she said, “Shouldn't’ we be teaching respect for all cultures?”
She was told to shut up and to listen to the message of the course. Of course the message was, “White Liberal Guilt needs to be the operating principle this school district works under.”
It’s David’s picture, but the article is not David’s.
So the future I see for all of us is:
Morning we trade our energy credits.
Afternoon we engage in reparations research - and pay various groups for their past generational suffering.
Nights we seek out more victims to compensate for all of the evil whites have caused.
Ping to read later.
More like regular kaka.
I was “allowed” to bypass the class after the initial introduction of meanings of diversity etc including African American, Mexican-American, Asian American, Caucasian-American ............management wanted me counseled. I refused and told em I did so on the recommendation of my lawyer. Diversity Class was a training class, to discuss the issues what was and wasn’t allowed in the workplace.
They opened the discussion and didn’t like my questions to the point that they said I was disruptive........they don’t want answers then they shouldn’t ask questions IMO.
I asked em to point out on the flat earth society globe they were using the country of Caucusia. (The Caucus Mountains maybe ?)
Second question I asked was why the curriculum is never taught by a white male ?
Third question was how much do they make with their “Keep the Hate Alive” course they peddle ot corporate america ?
A gazillon ways to dislike a person before you ever discover what their color or sex or country of origin is...........words , actions, etc pretty much paint the picture as we see here on FR. Race cards are for losers.....
Transactional analysis , I’m Ok, your Ok....BS / PC theories of Maslow, Demming, Black belt & Diversity training etc ....waste of time. I don’t allow my folks to attend socialist training crap.
If your lazy, unreliable, unproductive, disruptor, dishonest, trouble making sh*t stirring POS etc then you don’t work for me. Regardless of race, sex, religion or age.
I am an equal opportunity headhunter !
Isn’t that terrible? You liberal boss. UCK.
bttt
They started with examples that were obviously either racist or sexist. Then they would ask about innocuous statements such as "You look great today!", or "I really like your new hairstyle." When we at first didn't find these statements particularly harassing or offensive, the trainer made sure to harangue us about how wrong we really were. We're all pigs and scum, apparently, and we'd better watch every word that comes out of our mouths.
Actually no one is REQUIRED to subject themselves to this nonsense -its just that the American sheeple either don’t seem to know any better or dont stand up for their rights
Oh, and each and every manager had to post a giant poster with a pink triangle that read “SAFE SPACE”. When I questioned who and from what exactly needed to be saved, I was stared down with daggers.
Diversity training=white male on the bottom of the list.
The pro homosexual people have seized control of some of the policy writing tasks inside the company. One shouldn't read the current manuals on a full stomach as they aren't properly marked with barf alerts. The company employees are also stuck with higher insurance premiums as we subsidize the "same sex" and homosexual medical costs.
I really don't give a damn about "diversity". I want to get the job done. I'll pick the most capable people to accomplish the task at hand.
I was reading through a recent government proposal. It has some pretty substantially difficult technical objectives to achieve. It is also riddled with nearly impossible to attain "diversity" requirement. My colleagues are reviewing the proposal to make a bid/no-bid assessment. We have the technical talent to handle the technical requirements. It may still end up a "no-bid" because the technical talent to do the job doesn't measure up to the "diversity" ideals.
He did more than that. He made a blanket statement that no white males would be getting raises or promotions. He made the comment behind closed doors where he didn't think it would get out. Wrong. I was working at a Wingcast in San Diego (Ford/Qualcomm) when he made the statement. We heard about it within 15 minutes of the utterance. The immediate reaction was "Screw him". There was an immediate revolt and work slow down. The white males stopped putting in extra effort. They just worked the standard hours and made no extra effort to correct the errors being made by those with the preferred skin color.
Jack Nasser was handed his walking papers shortly after his stupid utterance. Wingcast folded the shop in June 2002, so I wasn't around to see what Bill Ford did to try to fix the damage done by Nasser. Wingcast was the ultimate exercise in "diversity". It was populated with H1B labor from around the world. It was also an abject failure. Too many highly compensated H1Bs with a terrible work ethic. Too many who were creative resume writers who couldn't deliver on the bottom line.
I wrote him quick note on the .signature. I asked him to consider where he was working and what new symbol was used on the men's restroom. The .signature disappeared. He hadn't considered the "possibilities" that it might have offered in his new office.
LOL — It was some time ago now. But the facilitator was complaining that not enough women were being promoted to high levels in the company. I said, “That is because many of them quit the corporate ladder to stay home and raise a family. So that in itself lessens the odds for women.” They didn’t want to hear such blasphemy.
Then I mentioned to them that my wife was a stay at home mom who made raising our children a priority instead of a corporate career. I was a real problem for them.
But I also challenged every little so called statistic they would throw out, challenging its accuracy, or offering non-PC reasons for it. The guy was really glad when the class was over. And I made it into a fun time instead of the drudgery it really was or could have been.
The great thing about it was my being vocal allowed other men in the group to be vocal too. It really derailed the who class. And all that was required was that we attended.. So I did that. LOL
I basically played it for what it was a joke.
“My question - why are the politicians and corporations so desperately trying to eliminate White Christians and Jews and destroy this country?”
Exactly. The world is the corporate onion. Just think of all that money to be made by the vast untapped masses. In addition to how controllable they will be. Certainly much less non sense about liberty and a “government of the people” if we can just get rid of strong largely white Judeo-Christian countries that are what stand in the way. Meanwhile we have a certain Republican component who thinks it is all just great. Capitalism and “Free markets” don’t you know. Why shouldn’t corporations be able to make money this way? We have too many brainwashed “citizens” who are either easily intimidated are naively buy into what they are selling.
I had to attend a three day reeducation session about 10 years ago. When the session began, the black female facilitator opened by assuring us that she had not been given this task simply because she was a black female. The whole room of about 150 erupted into uproarious laughter that lasted several minutes. She was completely off her game from then on and several of us spent the next three days challenging her assertions at every turn.
She was nearly brought to tears on several occasions, particularly when she said that Malcolm X wasn’t a racist and she was excoriated by about twenty guys, including several blacks. She also told us that blacks and hispanics love their families. I told her I was quite find of my kin as well, in case that wasn’t in her notes.
find = fond
Well, when the chief says it’s required then I had several choices. Go on their dime, refuse and get fired for insubordination or resign. I’m not a believer in cutting off my nose to spite my face.
