America's Largest Defense Contractor Sends Execs to Check Their Straight, White, Male Privilege

Defense contractor Lockheed Martin tossed its executives to the woke wolves recently for training to help them check their white, male, and heterosexual privilege according to internal documents posted to Twitter Wednesday afternoon.

Writer and Manhattan Institute fellow Christopher Rufo posted screenshots of the documents that he says were part of a "three-day white male reeducation camp" that Lockheed Martin executives attended via Zoom.

The training program was hosted by White Men As Full Diversity Partners, one of many woke consulting firms that have popped up in a new and insufferable cottage industry as companies bend to the will of woke culture warriors and younger employees.

The ludicrous training included an exercise where Lockheed Martin employees were asked to list words that they associated with "white men," according to Rufo. The diversity trainers reportedly listed terms such as "can't jump," "KKK," "Aryan Nation," "NASCAR," and "Republicans."

OFFS! It was already bad when I retired with the required yearly diversity/sexual harassment training/valuing your team-mates/lean six sigma/quality circles etc., garbage. I can only imagine in a nightmare how absurd it's become and poof! Here it is. Just keep the retirement checks coming. Dumbassery writ large.

Race Shaming is not acceptable. And CRT = Race Shaming.

Yes. Thankful to God I could make it to retirment.

Today my blood pressure already was up and I won’t even look again after reading this example of evil tripe forced upon good men.

Men: Please remember to keep your “S” list updated with thes corrupt rear end kissing bosses who send you to re-reducation sessions or camps. (S is for special such as Hallmark greeting cards and gifts or candy to them when the animal droppings hit the room air circulation blades.)

These are defense contractors? I’m not so sure we need a bunch of woke wimps making the things we need to defend this country.

time to sell your stock - this once highly productive company is headed for a downward slide as spineless wusses replace the former dynamic, innovative, top of the line executives.

And they did this on Zoom? Please, it’s just to get numbers for PR. Turn off the video, leave it going and take a nap or go do something useful.

Why didn’t they send everyone to Vegas for the seminar, and then give them the evenings off?

Lockheed Martin now presents a security risk to the U.S. All Lockheed security clearances should be immediately suspended.

Good point. One should ask ‘if race shaming is unacceptable, the why are you so desperately trying to make me feel ashamed for being white?’

I’m not sure you understand the culture. Lockheed Martin is not Woke. Instead they are whatever they need to be each year. They are filled with very competent dedicated people looking to make top dollar by providing whatever the government wants to buy in what ever way the government wants to buy it.

If the Feds say they want the user manual for a simulator oriented around a new aircraft done in Klingon with 3D graphics — you can be damn sure that within the hour of that knowledge there are 30 staff members reattaching Klingon and 3D.

I didn’t work for them but I worked with and around them. In fact one division gave me something they almost never give contractors. — a gold engraved grand slam baseball bat.

Well, when I became salaried there I had the required spinectomy. I regained it upon retirement. Something about velvet handcuffs. LOL! Everybody went to the classes and as expected no one paid much attention other than to check the box then carry on as usual. Just being a tad more vigilant. :-}
