      The City of Seattle held a training session for white employees called “Interrupting Internalized Racial Superiority and Whiteness.” So I did a public records request to find out exactly what this means. Let's go through it together in this thread. 👇

      First, diversity trainers informed white participants that "objectivity," "individualism," "intellectualization," and "comfort" are all vestiges of internalized racial oppression.pic.twitter.com/qrZwHZgx1H

      Sometimes both sides of the coin are "oppression." Are white employees speaking too much? That's probably the internalized racial superiority of "imposition" or "paternalism." Are white employees speaking too little? That's oppression, too, because "silence" is "violence."

      What's next? The City of Seattle diversity trainers encourage white employees to "practice self-talk that affirms [their] complicity in racism" and work on "undoing your own whiteness."pic.twitter.com/CJxNEcIeh2

      What happens after the thought exercises? It's time to DO THE WORK. The trainers ask white employees to "let go" of "comfort," "guaranteed physical safety," "control over the land," "social status," and "relationships with some other white people."pic.twitter.com/sRZf8gA6Go

      Then they go through a flow chart that outlines how white people "cause harm to POC," "show up small and inauthentic," and are unable to access their "humanity."pic.twitter.com/jcJppWXe0k

      In case some people are wondering if they're "really white," they pass out a datasheet called "Assimilation into Whiteness." Are you of Arab, Jewish, Finnish, German, Italian, Armenian or Irish descent? You're definitely white. No getting out of this.pic.twitter.com/mqsCUB9Ijr

      As @DrKarlynB first reported, the invitation for this training was strictly segregated to "white City employees." The goal is to teach them how they have "complicity in the system of white supremacy" and must be held "accountable to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color."pic.twitter.com/kPbppFYDtM

      How do you know when you've successfully "interrupted your whiteness"? –When you "implicate yourself" in racism. –When "other white people may be angry." –When you have stopped your "white normative behavior."pic.twitter.com/7Pv5FvRxm1

      So far, the City of Seattle has refused to provide the names of the diversity trainers, the budget for the program, or the video of the session. I'm going to keep pushing—because this is exactly the kind of thought-policing they want to implement everywhere.

      As @ConceptualJames and others have shown, the new cultural revolution is being fought via corporate HR, city diversity training, and public school curriculums. When you find something like this in your community, expose it, criticize it, mock it, and reject it. /End

          Seems like illegal discrimination in the workforce to me. How are they immune from a lawsuit?

          The City (and any other entity who mandates this “religion”) needs to be sued. Where are our lawyers? Time for class action lawsuits.

          This garbage religion is pushed HARD at my work, but I literally can’t afford to speak out against it. I worked so hard to get this job for my family & have been fighting other bullshit oppression/abuse my whole life to make it this far...I can’t risk my job to stand up to it 🤷‍♀️

          This is so exactly like the cultural harangues given by communists in Cambodia and China that I’ve read about.

          Just like communist re-education classes. Sue them for racial discrimination against whites.
