In June, Seattle’s Office of Civil Rights sent an e-vite to WHITE city employees to attend a training on “Interrupting Internalized Racial Superiority and Whiteness".

Christopher Rufo submitted a public records request for all documentation related to the training...

Disturbing as it may be,
this is what he learned:

In the beginning of the session, the trainers explain that white people have an internalized sense of racial superiority, which has made them unable to access their “humanity” and caused “harm and violence” to people of color.

The trainers said that “individualism,” “perfectionism,” “intellectualization,” and “objectivity” were all vestiges of the internalized racial oppression and MUST BE ABANDONED in favor of social-justice principles.

Once the diversity trainers established that basic conceptual framework, they encouraged white employees to “practice self-talk that affirms [their] complicity in racism” and work on “UNDOING [their] own whiteness.”

As part of this process, they said white employees must ABANDON their “white normative behavior” and learn to let go of their “comfort,” “physical safety,” “social status,” and “relationships with some other white people.”

As writer James Lindsay points out, this isn't the language of human resources. It's the language of CULT PROGRAMMING - Persuading members (whites) they are defective in some predefined manner, it exploits their emotional vulnerabilities & isolates them from other relationships.

As Lindsay writes, “the goal is no longer to indoctrinate on what is ‘rightthink’ and ‘wrongthink.’ It is to make the [subject’s] thinking be completely in line with the view of the world described by the cult doctrine.”

At the end of the session, the diversity trainers outlined strategies for converting outsiders & recommended specific “practices for interrupting others’ whiteness.”
In effect, they organized an ideological pyramid scheme...

...using PUBLIC DOLLARS to establish their authority within the government, then using that authority to recruit others into the program.

This new racial orthodoxy has seen huge growth in recent years & is difficult for local governments and elite institutions to resist. The movement’s key rhetorical premise is designed as a trap: if you are NOT an antiracist, then you ARE a racist—and must be held to account.

Skeptics might dismiss Seattle’s “interrupting whiteness” training as a West Coast oddity, but it is part of a nationwide movement to make this kind of identity politics the foundation of our public discourse.
It may be coming soon to a city or town near you.
