"Undoing your own whiteness"

[Mike]

I am beyond incredulous!

The City of Seattle held a racially segregated employee training session aimed at White staffers and instructing them on "undoing your own whiteness" in order to be held accountable by people of color, according to documents obtained by a public records request.

One handout distributed in the session reportedly declared how “racism is not our fault but we are responsible." Another said White staffers must give up “the land” and their “guaranteed physical safety” in order to be an “accomplice” for racial justice.

“
We’ll examine our complicity in the system of white supremacy – how we internalize and reinforce it – and begin to cultivate practices that enable us to interrupt racism in ways to be accountable to Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) folks within our community,” the email invitation said.

My response to anyone confronting me with my “privilege” —

My family & I fought and crawled for every once of privilege I now possess, and I’ll be damned if I will disavow or turn my back on one scintilla of it. My only vow is that I will work (a hard word for SJW’s to digest) as hard as I can to acquire more for myself and to pass on to my family.

Substitute "black" for "white" in some of those statements, and pass them out in pamphlets, then prepare for the uprising...Racial equality must be learned over time, not forcefed overnight...

Say, when is Warner Brothers going to renounce its racist cartoons about Speedy Gonzales and Slowpoke Rodriguez, and start writing reparation checks to all the Latinos who've been mowing the grass around their studios for decades?......Ben

Not that I doubt something like that happened I like to see the details like the handout before I go out and comment one way or the other.

To be fair I never had to help interview or hire anyone so for me to say this or that person didn't get a "fair shake" because of skin color I claiming I don't know. I do know that down here when I got my first job I can say there was a heavy influence of the Mormon Church at the city and I can say that for sure and also why I never applied for a job with certain cities around the area.

Numbers, statistics and data obviously mean nothing to those preaching revolution, Mike. Your outfit was part of “systemic racism” no matter the numbers and will be until their goals are met, and their goals will never be met because they will move them until the end of days.

It gets better (worse?)!

City of Seattle instructed White employees to forgo jobs, promotions, safety in interest of racial justice
