The War Machine Gets Woke: Largest US Defense Contractor Reportedly Held ‘Privilege’ Training For White Men
The Daily Caller ^ | 05.26.2021 | Marlo Safi

Posted on 05/27/2021 3:03:15 AM PDT by USA Conservative

The nation’s largest defense contractor allegedly held a three-day training program for white male executives so they could deconstruct their “privilege” and understand how white male behavior is “devastating” to racial minorities and women, journalist Christopher Rufo reported Wednesday.

Lockheed Martin hosted “White Men As Full Diversity Partners,” a diversity-consulting firm, in 2020 to help 13 of its senior employees understand white male privilege, according to Rufo’s report.

The session facilitators reportedly began with a “free association” exercise, which involved asking the 13 employees to list connotations for the term “white men.” The terms that were conjured up included “racist,” “privileged,” “anti-women,” “Aryan nation,” KKK,” “Founding fathers,” and “can’t jump.”

Suspect the most devastation would be caused by a Lockheed martin plane (F16?) dropping bombs/missiles on people - but as long as it does not hurt their feelings? - just a thought!

"Old-school" CEO (UAB-grad/Trump-friendly) left a couple of years ago - new (Ivy League-like) CEO definitely looks the "woke" part.

Man, EVERYTHING the Libs touch ends up sucking.

Only party members in good standing can be awarded contracts.

Those that do not embrace the dictates of the party will be denied contracts.

This is how life works under communism. It is here.

It won’t last because it didn’t come from We The People. But the people need to be a hell of alot more serious about taking back their country. The time for choosing is very near.

You are fooling yourself if you think the people being manipulated by the communists will rise up.

Any government contractor just becomes an extension of the gubmint (hire x% women, y% preferred ethnics); these companies could always make money the old-fashioned way (willing customers instead of captive taxpayers).

Not just gov't contractors, but anyone regulated by the gov't....meaning every business either adopts what the communist party leadership dictates or they will be destroyed.

Citizens who speak out against the communist party leadership dictates will be doxxed and cancelled from their career. Thousands of good conservatives have already lost jobs by speaking out.

Citizens who demonstrate against the communist party leadership dictates are branded "insurrectionists" and are hunted down by the FBI in coordination with social media.

Maybe that union in San Jose was having a white privilege training session yesterday?

Keep in mind...normal people, all races and genders, don’t buy this crap. It’s the abnormal. How much abnormality is out there in management and colleges? The normal amount. “A few good men, well positioned....” is what is being loosed by satan upon the country. Deathly effectively, they know it but they also know it’s a facade they MUST keep up or it is over.

Where I work, they had a ‘video training’ about ‘unconscious bias’ that was optional. Apparently so few people cared to watch it, that they had to make it mandatory. The whole thing was about as dumb as you’d think.

Can’t build airplanes on time or on budget so they have finally admitted they are failed at that and so become social justice warriors.

They also told that L/M upper management was so impressed with this training that they started a College Scholarship program for Black and Brown students ONLY. So after telling me that I am a racist just by being white my Grandchildren where ineligible for these Scholarships because they are white!! Needless to say lawyers were consulted and we await launching tons of lawsuits!!!

As a manager in a high tech firm, I was expected to give a yearly EO presentation. I had a range of topics that I could choose from. I would ask my Dept. what subject they wanted to have presented. Every year the consensus was the video on Sexual Harassment. I finally had to explain to them it was NOT a How To video. ;o)

That's always been the joke. The vids teach you how to harass someone and get away with it.

Way back in the dark ages, when Clarence Thomas was in the news during his confirmation, and the whole 'sexual harassment' thing was pretty topical, one of the ladies I worked with was pretty disgusted by the whole thing. She gave all of the guys blanket permission to harass at will. She was confident enough in herself, and knew the rest of us well enough that it was a safe bet.

That lady is someone I would not mind working with or for. Get the job done, all the rest is easy to deal with if ya just be honest.

When I was a teenager,I worked at a local pool as a lifeguard. If ya weren’t careful walking through the guard shack, the pool manager might reach out and goose ya. She was about 70 years old. If that happened today, I’d be rich. As it was, you just went on with the rest of your day. ;0)

I truly hope you are successful in beating them to their knees and getting more than a scholarship.

True; I mention government contractors in particular because often the taxpayer dollars are their bread and butter. If they take Caesar’s gold, they’ll do his bidding or else...
