Raytheon calls on its white workers to reject racial “equality” in favor of “equity,” and “participate in reparations,” internal documents from the defense contractor show.
Workers at the nation’s second largest defense company are also encouraged to “decolonize your bookshelf,” “join a local ‘white space,'” and “defund the police,” as part of the company’s critical race theory program, according to documents shared on Twitter Tuesday by Manhattan Institute senior fellow Christopher Rufo.
The Massachusetts company’s “Stronger Together” program was introduced last summer in an effort to get its 180,000 employees to “help drive near- and long-term societal change,” Raytheon Technologies Chief Diversity Officer Marie Sylla-Dixon wrote in February.
The program is based around the framework of “intersectionality,” a theory that ranks discrimination and privilege around people’s social and racial identities.
The documents, which Rufo said he obtained through a corporate whistle blower, ask white, straight, Christian, able-bodied, English-speaking employees to deconstruct their identities, “identify [their] privilege,” and “step aside” in favor of other identity groups.
A chart entitled “What Not to Say to Your Black Colleagues Right Now,” instructs white Raytheon workers to never tell colleagues they “pray things change soon” or hope that social tensions “calm down,” because their discomfort with any racially charged situations cannot match that of a non-white person, the leaked literature claimed.
he company maintained that black employees were “exhausted, mentally drained, frustrated, stressed, barely sleeping, scared and overwhelmed,” it was revealed.
Raytheon has separate employee resource groups for black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American and LGBTQ groups in its quest to “advance an inclusive culture,” by highlighting the worker’s differences, Ruso wrote in the City Journal.
A recommended course called “21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge,” asks employees to learn about the “weaponization of whiteness,”

I assume this kind of stuff by a big company is just an attempt to buy favor with the roaming mobs by throwing them a sop.
If it is something more, we are in trouble. This is actually an important company making real stuff, not just sneakers.
Oh, they’d run screaming for their safe spaces and cram their precious little snowflake mouths full of the Play-Doh they haven’t already eaten if they saw my hard-copy library. Gar-on-tee.
HR departments are evil and companies that do not eliminate them will not survive.
From the article:
“The documents, which Rufo said he obtained through a corporate whistle blower, ask white, straight, Christian, able-bodied, English-speaking employees to deconstruct their identities, “identify [their] privilege,” and “step aside” in favor of other identity groups.”
What a pile of... garbage!
I would have said “I treat everyone the same; I didn’t notice any issues till y’all raised them”.
I’m glad I’m not involved with large corporations anymore.
“...asks employees to learn about the “weaponization of whiteness,”
These people are NUTS!
Doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in their product either - how about they concentrate on that first.
Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream is dead. And the Left killed it.
Now that I think more about it...”weaponizing whiteness” means weaponizing SUCCESS...
These people are EVIL!
Raytheon is deep into the leftist narrative. Most of their Infrastruture is on military bases so they don’t have to worry about riots and mobs.
this is definitely a concerted effort within the corporate world. company i work for has the same nonsense.
Pretty hard to do when it's all science fiction. Unless you count Neil DeGrasse Tyson as SF, as we all should.
There’s a word that goes back MANY years when referring to one particular defense contractor and it’s “GAYTHEON”. Say no more.

“T-Mobile US Exec Marie Sylla-Dixon Joins Raytheon ...https://washingtonexec.com › 2021/01 › t-mobile-us-ex...
Jan 11, 2021 — Before Raytheon Technologies, Sylla-Dixon spent 11 years at T-Mobile US, most recently as vice president for government and external affairs.”
I believe she needs an up-to-date resume.
Why don’t they follow their own advice and reduce their white workers, and replace them with black workers?
Ok I at least know what most of this nonsense but this is a new one.
He wants people to join the KKK?
That cant be right.
Can it?
My husband works for Raytheon. I don think he has had to participate in anything like they describe. He is too busy for that, as are his coworkers. But I’ll ask him about this and report back. Maybe this is about the headquarters in MA, not the facilities around the country.
“Decolonize your bookshelf”
I have entire bookcases that would terrify the average snowflake liberal.
“The Employment Lawyers’ Association (ELA) is launching a 21 Day Racial Habit-Building Challenge for members on 21 January to help advance the conversation around race in the UK for employment lawyers and to look at how the profession can become more diverse and inclusive.
“The 21 Day Racial Equity Habit-Building Challenge was originally the brainchild of Dr Eddie Moore Jr, one of the USA’s top motivational speakers and educators on diversity and leadership, and involves accessing relevant resources over the period with the aim of stimulating debate and developing greater awareness about the issues faced by those from black and ethnic minority backgrounds.
“Those signing up for the Challenge will receive a daily email with a link to a short article, video, podcast or other resource which gives an insight into the experiences and lives of black and Asian communities.”

It goes far beyond one defense contractor.
