Last month, the City of Seattles 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 whitenessthat 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 programmingpersuading members they are defective in some predefined manner, exploiting their emotional vulnerabilities, and isolating them from previous relationships.
