Under Armour appears to be the next big corporation found to be forcing employees to undergo anti-white training sessions, a report says.
According to the Outkick, a whistleblower is reporting that the sportswear giant has mandated that employees take a so-called “anti-racism” course entitled “Above the Surface: Dominant White Progressive Narratives” that urges white employees to examine how they might be racist.
Under Armour “forced its white employees to participate in a training program that asked them to consider ways in which they might be racist.”
The course’s moderator even reportedly asked white employees how many “virtually all-white” funerals they had attended during their lives, insisting that not going to a minority funeral may prove the employee is racist. After asking that question, the moderator quickly interrupted, saying that she didn’t want to give whites time to think of their answer. She then told white employees that the question “should be something that you are thinking about if you are white for the rest of your life.”
In another part of the training, whites are told that saying “I was taught to treat everyone the same” is also racist.
The program’s host went on saying, “I’m hoping that those questions for most white people surface, that there’s a little more going on than ‘we just were taught to see everybody as equal.'”
According to the whistleblower, this particular training session was held in the Spring of 2020.
The training also attacked the white employees’ parents if their parents moved to a particular place to get their kids into “good schools.”
“Did your parents care about what kind of school you went to? If so, why?” the program asked Under Armor’s employees, adding, “How often had you had a teacher or professor of your own race(s)?”

Down boy!!
I’m a married woman! But, for clarification — I’m built exactly like Mary Lou Retton — so think a stubby little thumb/German gymnast/Tasmanian devil build.
You can’t get attorneys..these companies are very careful how they set this up..btw, they’ll fire the employees for some trumped up reason. That’s the sad reality. Unless there is a very powerful union they don’t stand a chance.
Welcome to the woke world.
I know many people going through this
Clarence Thomas never speaks at USSC hearings. Is anyone concerned that the black man’s voice isn’t being heard?
That works. :-) I'm married to a little hottie myself. Just having a little fun with you.
Bye bye Under Armour; and I really did like the brand. . .
I’ve avoided buying queer feminist Levis for decades. Avoiding Under Armour is easier.
What’s Under Armour , wait I don’t want to know
Can someone tell me what that means in English?
White for the rest of your life?
They should contact Alliance Defending Freedom. It would make not take a few threatened suits and it would stop. It IS discrimination it IS a hostile work environment. They should at least explore the possibilities. They should claim whistle blower protection.
Wouldn’t go so far as to say I was a hottie (maybe a warmie?) The hottie days were in my twenties. Now... I’m lucky if I can walk without my knees clicking after leg day. Still... I’m fighting old age (and gravity!) tooth and nail.
There was a series on FX called Rescue Me with the libertarian comedian Denis Leary. The guy who sang the song “Asshole”.
It was the first show to actually depict in one episode “sensitivity training” because the only woman fireman got “insulted” at the firehouse.
After the lecture, the white liberal asked everyone “so, what did you learn from the video?”
Denis lEary’s character says “Yeah, why is it the white guy is always the bad guy in the video?”
Yep.
The course materials should be obtained and each incidence of the word “white” should be replaced with the word “black” and then published as if the offending company had used the revised text.
...or afros, African looking clothing, etc. And no Ebonics!
We should call it “National Black Awareness and Wokeness Day Fun!”
[See acronym.]
Good for you. I'm trying to do the same.
So this person can just go pet the nice leopards.
I think she meant to say “if you are white, then this question should be something for you to think about for the rest of your life.”
But that would require someone who understood proper grammar.
Nice! My mistake. I should have written, “...African-American clothing...” ;)
Maybe I can find a fuzzy orange fedora and suit somewhere for going out on Saturday night. The ‘70s were bright for sure. ;)
