Beginning last summer, the program, called Stronger Together, encourages employees to “becom[e] an anti-racist today.” Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes supported the campaign by signing an Action for Diversity & Inclusion statement, promising to “promote diversity” and “cultivate meaningful change for our society,” then asking all Raytheon employees to sign the pledge and “check [their] own biases.”

According to documents and videos I have obtained from a corporate whistleblower, the program begins with lessons on “intersectionality,” a core component of critical race theory. Intersectionality maintains that the world can be divided into competing identity groups, with race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and other categories defining an individual’s place within the hierarchy of oppression.
In a workshop entitled “Developing Intersectional Allyship in the Workplace,” diversity trainer Rebecca York explained to Raytheon employees that critical race theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw developed the concept of intersectionality to expose “interlocking systems of oppression” and “break down power into privilege and marginalization.”
In a related lesson, Raytheon asks white employees to deconstruct their identities and “identify [their] privilege.” The company argues that white, straight, Christian, able-bodied, English-speaking men are at the top of the intersectional hierarchy—and must work on “recognizing [their] privilege” and “step aside” in favor of other identity groups. According to outside diversity consultant Michelle Saahene, whites “have the privilege of individuality,” while minorities “don’t have that privilege.” https://www.city-journal.org/raytheo...al-race-theory
The program then tells white employees to adopt a new set of rules for interacting with their minority colleagues. Employees should “identify everyone’s race” during conversations, “including those who are White.” According to the document, white employees must “listen to the experiences” of “marginalized identities” and should “give [those with such identities] the floor in meetings or on calls, even if it means silencing yourself to do so.” This process of voluntary racial silence is a “win-win,” because “you learn more when you listen than when you speak.”
It really is outrageous how many US companies are now adopting "woke" demands for their employees and even partners-- Coca Cola, Goldman-Sachs, Blackrock, Google, Facebook and now even defense contractors like Raytheon. It's straight corruption, and Big Tech, Big Pharma and Big Defense are the worst offenders. Like I said before, the worst and dumbest mistake the Republican Party ever made was to get in bed with US big business, because there's nothing "conservative" at all about big corporations in the USA. They want to turn a profit any way they can and they'll back-stab traditional American values and communities to do it, and now that the USA has had such extreme demographic change-- with white Americans already a minority among American children, and the US white population shrinking fast every year, corporations are going "woke" to pander to the "new Americans".
I'm so glad I've been self-employed for the past 40 years so I don't have to put up with this crap. However, I do stand in front of the mirror every day and repeat, "You are White and you are Evil". It makes me feel so much better.
Yes they are beholden to the state. What free markets?
Irrelevant.
The markets demand this type of work place environment, companies are just responding to the incentive set by their employees and customers.
