True. I followed the St Paul MN school district rush down the rabbit hole of "racial justice" a decade ago, and see sister city Minneapolis woke pursuit of the same nonsense now.

Glen Singleton and his Pacific Education Group has reaped millions in tax dollars from woke white parents in urban environments. Glen S. is a brilliant capitalist, selling the "cure" for white guilt to millions of useful idiots.

whether they are doing it or not is immaterial to the question of whether they can do 'whatever they want.'
clearly they cannot, and only a fool would believe otherwise.

Unfortunately, there is no shortage of white leftists that agree with this.
Have you ever noticed that when you set your wake up alarm on these clocks, it only greets you with a rude awakening, so you hit snooze, and get another rude awakening. I very rarely use them anymore.

I always liked in the spring, when the doves land on the shed roof outside my window at daybreak.

When God showed Abraham the land, God shared the beginning of sight with him there, as far as his eye could see in every direction.

How do liberals fall for this??
Only the dimmer ones really fall for it. The smarter ones realize it is bull but also realize it is an unstoppable weapon for winning a culture war. Typically this means when someone is spewing this nonsense you are either dealing with a dim bulb or an intelligent psychopath.

Imagine if there was a required diversity and inclusion seminar at your work that said "Try to be less black." You think that would be acceptable and people should just accept it or get another job?

While I think the whole premises of a sanctioned seminar about being white is stupid and wrong, black people already know to follow this rule of thought of "Try to be less black" unofficially depending on the job they have and their career aspirations.

I was taking inclusion and diversity classes in corporate america 20 years ago.

No one ever told me to 'be less white".

I'm saying diversity and inclusion seminars/classes are not new to corporate america.

I've not seen or heard where anyone was told to be 'less white".

I live in a blue county in a red state and in a majority black city and main school district. They have bigger problems to worry about than white fragility honestly. believe it or not black history month isn't even a big deal and wasn't that big of deal when I last was in school a decade plus ago. A friend of mines middle school kid didn't even know who Emmett Till was, which is crazy since he was killed two hours away.



I say this, because every year around February like clock work, there are 20+ threads with 500+ responses about black history month and how it's, racist, or divisive or whatever else. As a black person I may skim some but I just ignore them no point in reading it. As a white person why even entertain someone who tell you to be less white, it's just going to make you angry.
