Seattle held 'segregated' training session on 'undoing whiteness,' encouraged staffers to forfeit 'guaranteed physical safety'
2020-07-09
[FoxNews] 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.

The session took place on June 12, as protesters took part in the so-called "Capitol Hill Organized Protest" in the Capitol Hill district.

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.

Christopher F. Rufo, an editor for City Journal and director of the Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth and Poverty, said he filed a public records request regarding the training session. On Monday, he published copies of the materials distributed to employees in the session on his Twitter account.



According to his screenshots, the Office of Civil Rights hosted a two-and-a-half-hour "Training on Internalized Racial Superiority for White People."

In the email invitation to the event, the office asked "city employees who identify as white to join this training to learn, reflect, challenge ourselves, and build skills and relationships that help us show up more fully as allies and accomplices 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.

A two-column chart also listed characteristics that defined "Internalized Racial Oppression."

"Internalized Racial Superiority," was defined by perfectionism, individualism, imposition, arrogance, paternalism, silence, intellectualization, control, violence, comfort, appropriation, cognitive dissonance, objectivity and "anti-blackness."

#8  Reminds me of the story I heard of the Khmer Rouge shooting anybody who wore glasses. They figured that if you wore glasses, you needed them for reading and you were therefore an intellectual. Couldn't have that.

#4  That list is quite something.

Aside from the undefined like imposition they are mostly traits that should be considered virtues.

I'm called a perfectionist and I'm definitely an individualist and intellectual and objective so according to Seattle I'm a hardcore racist.

Well eff them and the horse they rode in on.

Doesn't seem like a way to persuade people to your side does it?

#3  i find a real handy guide to approaching things like this is to look at them if the races were reversed.

#1  It's projecting their own false faith that "all cultures are equal" and trying to explain away why black culture with it's "diverse" approach to following the law is such a wealth destroying criminal tolerating disaster.
