INTERNALIZED RACIAL SUPERIORITY | RACISM NOT OUR FAULT; WE ARE RESPONSIBLE

The City of Seattle held a racially segregated employee training session
aimed at White staffers and instructing them on "undoing your own
whiteness" in order to be held accountable by people of color, according to
documents obtained by a public records request.
The session took place on June 12, as protesters took part in the so-called
"Capitol Hill Organized Protest" in the Capitol Hill district.
One handout distributed in the session declared how “racism is not our fault
but we are responsible." Another said White staffers must give up “the land”
and their “guaranteed physical safety” in order to be an “accomplice” for
racial justice.

Christopher F. Rufo, an editor for City Journal and director of the Discovery
Institute’s Center on Wealth and Poverty, said he filed a public records
request regarding the training session. On Monday, he published copies of the
materials distributed to employees in the session on his Twitter account.
The Discovery Institute has since shared copies of the documents obtained
from the City of Seattle with Fox News.
According to the documents, the Office of Civil Rights hosted a two-and-ahalf-
hour “Training on Internalized Racial Superiority for White People.”
In the email invitation to the event, the office asked “city employees who
identify as white to join this training to learn, reflect, challenge ourselves,
and build skills and relationships that help us show up more fully as allies
and accomplices for racial justice.”
“We’ll examine our complicity in the system of white supremacy – how we
internalize and reinforce it – and begin to cultivate practices that enable us to
interrupt racism in ways to be accountable to Black, Indigenous and People
of Color (BIPOC) folks within our community,” the email invitation said.
The name of the initial sender was redacted. Rufo claimed, “the City of
Seattle has refused to provide the names of the diversity trainers, the budget
for the program, or the video of the session.”
“I'm going to keep pushing—because this is exactly the kind of thoughtpolicing
they want to implement everywhere,” Rufo tweeted. “The new
cultural revolution is being fought via corporate HR, city diversity training,
and public school curriculums. When you find something like this in your
community, expose it, criticize it, mock it, and reject it.”
"It's a dark irony that the City of Seattle's Office of Civil Rights would host
racially segregated training sessions and demand that its white employees
give up their 'physical safety' and 'white normative behavior,’” Rufo added in
a statement to Fox News.
“This new racial orthodoxy is now sweeping through local government,
schools, and corporate HR departments, and threatens to undermine the
American idea of equality under the law. The City of Seattle should
immediately launch an investigation into this practice, change its policy on
race-segregated training sessions, and abandon the cult-like ideology of
'critical race theory.'"
Those who attended the session were shown handouts, including one that
encouraged them to cultivate “networks with other white people who are
practicing antiracist accomplicehood so you can talk through your struggles
in the work of undoing your own whiteness.”
Diversity trainers instructed White employees in “practicing self-talk that
affirms our complicity in racism.”
“Racism is not our fault but we are responsible,” one bullet point declared.
In order to be considered “accomplices,” White employees must give up
“comfort,” “guaranteed physical safety,” “expectations or presumptions of
emotional safety,” “control over other people and over the land,” and
“relationships with some other white people.”
White employees were also urged to give up “niceties from neighbors and
colleagues,” “the certainty of your job,” and “accepting jobs and promotions
when we are not qualified, including racial equity jobs.”
Employees were presented with a flowchart that demonstrated how “white
people keep the system going” by being socialized “to cause harm to POC,”
“justify why we are superior and have been wronged by POC,” “use anger,
self-righteousness and defensiveness [to] mask fear, shame, or guilt,” “show
up small and inauthentic,” and finally are “unable to imagine a way forward
that comes from a place of humanity,” thus reinforcing the status quo.
