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."

Optometry appointments should be required in the very next room at the completion of the course.

Those rolled back eyes may be damaged rolling back so many times and so far.

Wow you saved me lots of time with your post mega dittos.

I hated those touchy-feely corporate seances, sitting there for two or three days thinking about all of the real work piling up in the in-basket.

LOL! It was absurd when I was still working and even more so it appears from this piece. Sadly, ten years ago when I was still working, there were folks who were buying the line.

I was working mid-level management at General Dynamics-Convair (San Diego) and we were stuck in the "tweens" there.

We knew it was BS, we were told by our bosses it was BS then they told us to make it work because it looked good for corporate and customer relations.

I really felt bad because we had to flow down this crap to our major suppliers. They thought we were nuts.

I just want to know why these obviously bright senior leadership people don’t just dismantle every premise of their “trainers” one by one and send them packing with their woke tails between their legs. Just sayin’.

At this link Jordan Peterson explains the origin of white privilege, just in case you thought there was any substance to the idea.

Privilege comes from excelling and being superior to others who attempt the same tasks but come up short. Why is that so upsetting to some?
