In case you didn't realize you're racist, the Federal government sets you straight

A race-based training program used by federal agencies claims, among other things, that saying one is “colorblind” to race is itself racist. 

The training is part of a newly revealed federal diversity program that greatly expands on previously critical race theory trainings within the federal government, the Washington Examiner reported. Part of the expansion comes in the form of opposing “microaggressions,” or words and actions by one person that unintentionally upset another. As the Examiner noted, training provided to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says that offering a black student a basketball is considered offensive.

  1. It's a good thing I'm not colorblind... but, on the other side, I don't see everything through the lens of race either. I just look at reality and call it as I see it.

  3. At this point in time burning the whole thing down and starting over is the only thing to do.

  4. ask anyone who was in the army since 1970's they rammed that race relations shit down everyone throat. I lost count of how many times I was told they hire me in a second if I was black.
    only reason why I got hired at the VA was because of vet status, they couldn't say no.
    if you not a vet, you better be black there. talk about a hostile workplace !
    but that was in philly. at least 1/3 of the people there didn't do a damn thing all day but watch the clock and get a check. never saw people work so hard at doing nothing all day.
    if you good at bullshit paperwork and the like, it is the perfect workplace for you.
    but taking care of the vets, not so much.
    so, yea. tell me some more about how life is so unfair to you because of your skin.
    when this country went down this road, instead of hiring people because of what they can and do. it was just a matter of time before it all breaks down as we are seeing now.

    1. Purple Drank and a blunt? Well just damn. When everything is wayciss, nothing is. Call a spade a spade, makes no difference. Every racial epithet is back on the menu because it is no worse than offering a plate of gnocchi to an Eye-talian. Such a return to normal is long overdue.

  8. I judge a man by his merit not his color. If you sit on you ass and won't work while taking government hand outs, if you kill, rape, burgle, lie, cheat, beat your kids, neglect your kids, walk around with your ass hanging out and the list goes on. I don't care if you are white, black, red, yellow or tan I think you are a piece of shit. So, I guess I'm racist.

  9. I consider this government website's training program a macro-aggression against intelligent rational people. They need to take it down immediately.

  10. So if I have this right, not being racist is racist. In order to be non-racist, I have to be racist. Taking Scott's accurate description above, I should get the classic picture of Mon Motha from Star Wars, and caption it "It's a kafkatrap".

  11. I think there is more to it but its not being said. Such as, 'offering a basketball to a black is racist' (unless you are black).

    If you work the deli, if a black comes to order fried chicken, you skedaddle unless you're black. Go find a black coworker, if none can be found, try to interest the black in a helping of potato salad.

  12. I read and write newspeak fluently.
    Telling somebody that he is RACIST actually means that he is NOT.
