It's okay it supports your claim that you were mistreated in school because you're white. |

While I'm avoiding the threads that make me angry, I might as well toss this in here and run. |

I can't imagine this will be long lived, but after the Sandia Labs kerfuffle, it seems like these type of trainings are bad for workplace culture. Unless we want federal agencies and contractors to be staffed entirely by 30 or younger HR types... |

In case you wanted to know about whats going on with white supremacists in the wild: I thought maybe this was the one involving cuckoldry, but nah, maybe that was Heimbach. |

I read this Louisville Courier Journal article from 2018 the other day that recounts the profiling traffic stop of a black 18-year-old in Louisville. The video especially has stuck with me. https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/investigations/2019/04/04/louisville-kentucky-police-stopped-frisked-handcuffed-black-teen-for-wide-turn/3210229002/ |

I honestly don't know the answer to this other than people just need to relax and breathe a little. There is currently an ad campaign going on in Vancouver by OnePlanetOneChild.org advocating for people to have less children. The mistake they've made is they used diversity in their advertising. People losing their 'minds' over the ads that depict the same idea with BIPOC actors rather than white actors. The BIPOC actor ads have been branded racist. Do these people complaining want diversity in advertising or not? https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/vancouver-overpopulation-ads-climate-change_ca_5f6e717cc5b64deddeedbf08 |

McWhorter (who is Black) makes a shit-ton of sense here and really captures the essence of the movement. Poor Sam struggles keeping up. |

CRT trainings where you segregate employees by race is not exactly the same thing as sexual harassment training. |
