SCOOP: The government of King County, WA has a segregation problem.
According to new documents, King County Public Health held a series of racially-segregated diversity training sessions, teaching employees that they have "internalized racial oppressions [and] superiority."

The session for people of color instructed minorities to "[decolonize] your mind," "create an alternative power base," and then "encourage [their] White colleagues within the Network to work on their own internalized superiority."pic.twitter.com/Nv9MMOaWdP

In the past week, I have uncovered segregation in the King County Library System, King County Prosecutor's Office, and now King County Public Health. This practice—"separate but equal" training sessions—is doubtlessly widespread throughout county government.

The employees at King County Public Health are supposed to help provide healthcare to the homeless. Instead, leaders have sent them to racially-segregated political indoctrination sessions. This, needless to say, doesn't do anything for the homeless.

Unfortunately, the local media has been silent on these racially-segregated public institutions. King County Councilmembers
@reagandunn,@KathyLambert, and others must launch an investigation into this practice, which violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Enough is enough.Show this thread

This reads like a confessional during the time of Mao. Unless they are read in public after writing them out. Who can live like this? Who can go to work in such an environment? This is like telling an entire group of people to walk on eggshells so they don't upset narcissists.
