Lockheed Martin, the nations largest defense contractor, has forced thousands of its white employees to undergo a training program that was designed to make white men a bigger part of “inclusion efforts.”
Christopher F. Rufo from City Journal has once again uncovered a Critical Race Theory rabbit hole that Americans everywhere need to know about. Major defense contractor Lockheed Martin sent male executives to a training program that was aimed at deconstructing their “white male culture” and encouraged them to atone for their “white male privilege.”
From City Journal:
Last year, Lockheed Martin Corporation, the nation’s largest defense contractor, sent white male executives to a three-day diversity-training program aimed at deconstructing their “white male culture” and encouraging them to atone for their “white male privilege,” according to documents I have obtained.
The program, hosted on Zoom for a cohort of 13 Lockheed employees, was led by the diversity-consulting firm White Men As Full Diversity Partners, which specializes in helping white males “awaken together.” The Lockheed employees, all senior leaders in the company, included Aaron Huckaby, director of global supply chain operations; retired Air Force lieutenant colonel David Starr, director of the Hercules C-130 military transport program; retired Air Force lieutenant general Bruce Litchfield, vice president of sustainment operations; and Glenn Woods, vice president of production for the Air Force’s $1.7 trillion F-35 fighter jet program. (Lockheed Martin did not return request for comment.)
At the beginning of the program, the diversity trainers led a “free association” exercise, asking the Lockheed employees to list connotations for the term “white men.” The trainers wrote down “old,” “racist,” “privileged,” “anti-women,” “angry,” “Aryan Nation,” “KKK,” “Founding fathers,” “guns,” “guilty,” and “can’t jump.” According to the participants, these perceptions have led to “assumptions about white men and diversity,” with many employees believing that white men “don’t care about diversity,” “have a classical perspective on history and colonialism,” and “don’t want to give away our power.”
The White Men As Full Diversity Partners team—Jim Morris, Mark Havens, and Michael Welp—framed the purpose of the training session as providing a benefit for white men who embrace the diversity and inclusion philosophy. In response to a prompt about “what’s in it for white men,” the participants listed benefits such as: “I won’t get replaced by someone who is a better full diversity partner,” “[I will] improve the brand, image, reputation of white men,” and “I [will] have less nagging sense of guilt that I am the problem.”
Critical Race Theory has invaded corporate America and the education system. This philosophy teaches what some would describe as a new kind of racism, Critical Race Theory claims that America is racist and evil to its core despite the philosophy being founded here.
WOKE waiting on giant enema , that should cure it.
Critical Racism Theory conveniently overlooks the fact that over 350,000 privileged, white, republican men died freeing black slaves owned by southern democrats.
Never let these deluded people forget it.
