If my employer made me sit through a lecture where I was called a racist simply because I am white, I would leave that training session and be sitting in a lawyer’s office within the next 24 hours.
In this class, Ms. Shackelford is teaching a roomful of white people that not only are all white people racist; they will always be racist, or as she so eloquently put it, white people will always be “subhuman-demons.”
Normally, I would say “So what?” Except that one of the names that is being bandied about as a future President is a black woman who has this to say about white people:
There are white people who are not as powerful as the system of white people — the caste system that’s been put in place — but they still, no matter where they are on the rung, or the ladder of success, they still have their whiteness […] (Whites have a) leg up.
You still have your whiteness. That’s what the term ‘white privilege’ is. It means that whiteness still gives you an advantage, no matter. It is the fundamental issue.
Who is this person? Oprah-
White privilege is the concept that Jayden Smith, Sasha Obama, and these children of billionaires are some how at a disadvantage when compared to me, because I am white. Nevermind that they are obscenely rich and the children of American royalty, the color of their skin makes the difference.

The fact that the nigger worship wasn’t immediately refuted and buried tells us 2 things:
1. It will continue AND get worse
2. When the pendulum swings back the other way… boy howdy!
History rhymes, you know the trope.

I love the “Paypal Me” scribble on her pathetic 4th grade infographic. Wonder if she’d take a gift card to the buffet instead?

If this room full of people is buying what this hog is selling, you don’t need a lawyer, you need a job somewhere else

Agree 100% on the Lawyer. I wonder how IT would handle a person that is Mixed. That the percentage of White was racist and the remaining percentages were not. Why she thought wearing her workout clothes was appropriate for that I’m better than you session *shakes head*. Could she be sued for causing harm to everyone’s eyesight? She’s lucky none of the Older Women in the family saw her wearing that in public. My Granny and all my Aunts would have taken a switch to her.

I wonder what that sheboon would say if a White Man in that room stood up and said, “Nigger, Please.” ?

Where is Marcus Garvey and the Back to Africa movement? How about some Bob Marley’s Exodus? Movement of Jah Peeples?

These humiliation rituals (and that’s all they are, nothing more or less) that are conducted because certain people presently wield the power to do so (in corporate settings) will ultimately cause a level of resentment that leads to a backlash.
When that day comes, there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth over the retribution handed out, and they will cry out “why is we bein’ so persecuted and shit?” To which my response will be to hold up the picture attached to this post, and simply state “because of this shit right here, nigga.”
Now that the castrating of bud light and target are fait accompli in the gathering backlash, someone needs to get the ball rolling on a legal kick in the nuts against this stuff. I’m self employed, and so have no standing. You big corporate cubicle monkeys are going to have to make this move, as you are the direct targets of this garbage. And you should be enraged by that, honestly. A supreme court decision that makes these struggle sessions verboten may not count for much, but it would serve as a symbolic indication of progress being made in the right direction.

Can you imagine forcing blacks to sit thru one of these “humiliation rituals” (thanks for that btw) regarding robbery, rape, murder & drive-by shootings and suggesting they could paypal you for absolution or whatever you were droning on about? IDK about you but I’m suffering from ETF, extreme tolerance fatigue because somebody’s great, great grand-daddy was sold by his own and put on a boat from the dark continent. Imagine where they’d be now if he hadn’t.

I understand your reaction, and if I was still in the workforce, would probably feel the same but….
I remember I had a friend at work (1990s) that was very wise. I could not understand why we couldn’t say n_word to blacks, but they could call us honkys and crackers. The blacks even called each other n_words. He told me it was simple and obvious – no one cares, even blacks, what blacks have to say.

Since the George Floyd Drug Overdose Celebrations, we’ve had several of these “Inclusiveness” bull shitery meetings.
Now, my company is stupid and gullible enough to get taken in by a lot of woke carp, but they haven’t been stupid enough yet to do anything that may cause a lawsuit.

It must be miserable going through life blaming others, while being a fugly fpig. I’ve rendered hogs with less lard than those two piles of shit.

I, too, would feel a “hostile workplace environment”, and I’m pretty sure that it would take at least seven figures of therapy to make that feeling abate. The longer it dragged on, the longer it would take to resolve my subsequent PTSD issues. I might need annual paid stress leaves of several months in order to function, due to the psychological damage sustained.
Along with firing the person who taught the class, firing the person(s) who hired them, and a written formal apology for the incident signed by the company’s senior management. Not HR, and not a lawyer.
Failure to meet those mild terms could cause my feelings of perceived hostility to rise to a minimum of eight figures before the decimal point, and probably start trolling other employees for a nine-figure class-action suit, and daily front-page newspaper coverage and viral internet recognition.
You can’t buy that kind of corporate publicity; you get it absolutely free.
Ask Bud Light how that works out.
This is before we get into discussions of what happens to the Ms. Shacklefords – and their corporate sponsors – in the company parking lot after hours, over discussions involving 3′ of pipe or rebar.
It’s not such a bitchin’ gig when you have to get a full replacement set of joints and teeth every two to three years, eat only puree, and use one of those gadgets to make your vocal cords vibrate in order to speak for the rest of your natural life. Or require a full armed security detail 24/7/365/forever.
Life choices have consequences.
And Miracle On 34th Street endings for the Mr. Sawyers of the world were for milder, more genteel times.
Just saying.

If I walked into a conference room and saw that she-boon standing up front, I’d turn around and walk out before she even began talking. Damn, ugly and unprofessional looking. Someone might mention to her that the reason most people don’t like you isn’t your skin color, it’s just you!
June J · July 6, 2023 at 7:56 am
Perhaps MLK was killed by the PTB in order to remove content of character from the race discussion and return it to being just about skin color.
oldvet50 · July 6, 2023 at 8:53 am
I just had another thought and its so obvious I don’t know why I didn’t realize it before. Whites are NOT superior or privileged, but the blacks that make that claim, however, are inferior and angry at the fact that they cannot be white. Michael Jackson did try though, bless his heart.

Blacks are racist. Period. Most blacks voted for Obama in spite of Obama not having a record of accomplishments in life, a mysterious past, and no potential. They voted against the white guy. Blacks are inherently racist.

Just thought of something. Who is she boinking at the Company?

Back in 2020, during Covid and right after the BLM riots, I worked part time for Ahold/Delhaize (Martins, Giant Foods, etc.). One day, at the end of my shift, I was forced, off of the clock, to attend a “meeting” back in the warehouse to discuss race issues. It was amusing as our store had 100% white employees. The GM made us all sit in a circle and talk obout why being white was bad. Each and every one of us were forced to give a personal example of our “white privledge”; or we were not allowed to leave for the day. I made up some B.S. so that I could go home. Given the job shortages during Covid, I needed the job at that point.

Looks like a fantastic opportunity to make a killing.
I’m upper management and my employer has created a hostile work environment.
Now pay me eight figures or I’ll let this blow up on the Wall Street Journal.
My attorney wants me to do this anyway so he can short the company’s position good and hard, and so I’m planning a Release Day.
Think this is a bluff? Oh, look, some of those internal company mails you thought were secure that documented your covert racism? Seems you underpay the IT guys by a lot, but that’s not my fault, they’re not in my part of the company hierarchy or they’d have been fed better.
They also want to know when Release Day is going to be.
That’s because secretly everyone in the company knows they’ll never get rich from working there, and so they’re all planning on “doing a GME” on the owners.
Or maybe doing a BBBY on them, they have friends in the supply business they need to help out, and maybe the creditors will appreciate the extra inventory during the fire sale, plus Herman Miller executive gaming chairs are only cheap when an HQ is closing.
Now scale this across every company on the Dow Jones and Nasdaq.
This is going to be such fun.
