Refugees from Woke America
Woke “culture” has created hostile environments in universities, blue cities, and corporations across the nation. Some people will meekly submit to constant “all white people are racist” verbal abuse, but some will vote with their feet.
From an antiracist seminar:
All white people are racist. So, I put this up because I really want any white person in the room to know, up front, that this is what we’re dealing with. The it’s not going to be this coddling of white tears and what that looks like. We’re not going to discuss, “Oh, maybe some of us have worked it out.” No, you’re always going to be racist, actually. So, even when you’re on your path to trying to figure out how to be a better human being – because I believe that white people are born into not being human. Like that, actually, instead of people of color and black folks being dehumanized, that, actually, everyone is dehumanized within white supremacy. That y’all are born into a life to not be human, and that’s what y’all are taught to do, to be demons. So, in this particular way, white people are all racist, so I just want y’all to know that up front.
After the “you’re always going to be racist” statement the only logical action would be to leave. If I’m always going to be racist, what’s the point of sitting through an antiracist seminar? If there’s no hope, why shouldn’t I just go be racist somewhere else?

Yes. They are so ungrateful.
Persons of color cannot be racist because racism requires power and systemic racism denies any person of color power. Which explains why the Obama presidency was such a disappointment for persons of color even though the Trump presidency brought them more economic power than any other. So the lesson to be learned is to vote for anyone but the systemically powerless person of color.
Norms are the cage of the slave masters.
It is her responsibility to hold her audience if she has something of importance to say. Slandering them just means that she doesn’t.
She thinks what she does because she gets paid to do it. It’s just a scam.
Would that be cultural appropriation?
After some poking about…it seems it’s just placeholder text in her site—also called “Loren ipsum “…so phew, no cultural appropriation there.
Glen Beck covered the story that Trump demanded the CDC to NOT hold one of these ….(tax payer funded philosophic cultic nonsense)…sessions, but the CDC not only defied him but either did or is still planning to subject employees to them for 13 WEEKS? (Unclear whether the same group or spreading the joy around). Just Google CDC forces racial theory training to see more on the dispute.
So she’s sloppy as well as bigoted and tyrannical.
It’s not as if the CDC has anything important to do these days.
Which brings me to the old “what would I do if I were a German in the 1930s question”…
I think in all honesty I would revert to high school truculence mode. I am already wearing my compulsory mask half falling off my face or upside down.
She doesn’t have a real job.
That’s all that that means.
Several entries there but without the labor of going through them to figure out where the truth lies, does anyone here know if this behavior at the CDC is continuing in defiance of Presidential direction?
Or it was the largest outfit on the rack . . .
I think back fat is in all of our thoughts.
The parallels to Nazi ideology should be obvious.
My state bar association requires us each to fulfill 15 hours annually of Continuing Legal Education on topics and in programs which the Bar Assn has approved.
It now has a committee proposing to make mandatory for all active attorneys in the state an annual “ethics” CLE requirement of one hour of “diversity, inclusion and implicit bias training.” Every year ad retirementum.
When I wrote to the committee making my objection in the strongest non-profane terms I could muster, I explained that I refuse to be forced to undergo an annual, enforced “struggle session” so some ideologue could berate me for an hour over my immutable characteristics such as being old, white and male.
This trainer above embodies (pun intended) my worst apprehensions.
I don’t know if this has been said yet or not, but what stands out to me is that she is openly saying that white people aren’t “born human.” I couldn’t give a rat’s butt if she thinks I’m a racist, but that is dangerous territory. She may not be thinking about what that means in the long run, but we should. We should be taking them at their word.
You might also mention that implicit bias training has been found to have the opposite effect.
Mama there’s a Mau Mau in my muumuu!
It would be nice if this was true. But the Democrats wage war and the Right does …..
… nothing. Until we do. This time, they have adopted the novel tactic of burning down their cities before we can get to them.
“Diversity” and “Inculsion” classes are a way businesses can check “fairness” off their list of things to do, while teaching the classes provides people with no skills other than holding a grudge an income. It’s a win-win for everyone but the employees . . .
