Last month, the City of Seattle’s Office of Civil Rights sent an email inviting “white City employees” to attend a training session on “Interrupting Internalized Racial Superiority and Whiteness,” a program designed to help white workers examine their “complicity in the system of white supremacy” and “interrupt racism in ways that are accountable to Black, Indigenous and People of Color.” Hoping to learn more, I submitted a public records request for all documentation related to the training. The results are disturbing.
At the beginning of the session, the trainers explain that white people have internalized a sense of racial superiority, which has made them unable to access their “humanity” and caused “harm and violence” to people of color. The trainers claim that “individualism,” “perfectionism,” “intellectualization,” and “objectivity” are all vestiges of this internalized racial oppression and must be abandoned in favor of social-justice principles. In conceptual terms, the city frames the discussion around the idea that black Americans are reducible to the essential quality of “blackness” and white Americans are reducible to the essential quality of “whiteness”—that is, the new metaphysics of good and evil.
Once the diversity trainers have established this basic conceptual framework, they encourage white employees to “practice self-talk that affirms [their] complicity in racism” and work on “undoing [their] own whiteness.” As part of this process, white employees must abandon their “white normative behavior” and learn to let go of their “comfort,” “physical safety,” “social status,” and “relationships with some other white people.” As writer James Lindsay has pointed out, this is not the language of human resources; it is the language of cult programming—persuading members they are defective in some predefined manner, exploiting their emotional vulnerabilities, and isolating them from previous relationships.

IOW, kowtow and bow to your black masters...
Train me like a dog. Hit me with a rolled up newspaper. Rub my nose in it. See what happens.
That’s exactly what it sounds like, cult programming.
Yeah maybe in the big cities :-) try that on the South shore Staten island and you better call your mother and tell her you’re going to be missing dinner.
Forever.
I’m guessing a lot of southern suburbs are the same
>>IOW, kowtow and bow to your black masters...<<
More like kowtow to white massas who PLEDGE fealty to amorphous, unnamed black people.
It’s funny how the Left instinctively knows that they have to have wipeepo to keep things running, so they have to engage in all of this stupidity to try to cover it up. A day wiffout wipeepo would be hilarious. A week like that would be tragic.
I imagine that during the training there was a lot of “internalization” going on.
We had classes like that back in the 1990s. Some of the “presenters” were wearing traditional African garb...and we were told we needed to be accepting of different cultures. I had a line-tech (One of the people hanging cable from the poles) raise his hand. He stated he was German. He asked if he could wear lederhosen when he was working. Which prompted another to ask if the company really wanted him wearing a kilt when he was climbing a pole.
We all got a good chuckle out of that.
There are many only too eager to learn how not to be white in King County and surrounding environs. Further north, Port Townsend in Jefferson County is positively loaded with these crazed people.
“internalized racial superiority”?
I don’t know what that is... but wouldn’t they have to identify it and prove it exists, FIRST?
Hope so.
I don’t know about that. Have you ever been to Seattle?
we were told we needed to be accepting of different cultures
**************
A non-reciprocal concept no doubt.
Leftism is a one way street.
This will be implemented everywhere, in every workplace as a condition of employment, with little to no pushback from anywhere or anyone.
It is a form of terrorism directed at White People.
These haters won’t be happy - and won’t stop - until the last one of us is erased from the earth.

I’ve often said you can’t change human nature, but for the left hope springs eternal, and if you cannot change human nature at its core, they go to the next available option - changing human BEHAVIOR through threats, punishment and mental conditioning.
The year is 2081...

The people who dream up & implement this crap need to be treated to a little “intense fellowship” possibly in the form of a good caning. They might be able to see the light after that, even if they couldn’t sit down for 6 mos. or so.
This is a story about China....oh wait, Sheetatle is in the USA. Must be we got an advance “Retraining Camp” like they have over there.
p
Isn’t this the tactic Chinese did in one of their hate stupid evil ‘revolutions? You know the kind where hundreds of thousands of innocent people die?
