You could pay off the US debt by getting people to pay to watch a black man punch Trump :yennefer:

Edit: scratch that, make it a woman

Interesting, I was just going off of what I was taught at work but you’re right. It looks like a good way to tackle this issue is to have underprivileged individuals teach these subjects themselves such as hiring black teachers, women teachers etc. Admittedly this has nothing to do with corporate America. Although there are definitely ways that racial diversity training can be revamped to make it effective. Though I think that getting rid of it altogether sends a bad messsage.

*teachers of color and women who are smartly pro women and color. This training really is putting the horse behind the carriage, but I’m not gonna praise Trump for this bc CLEARLY hes not doing this for good reasons 😭

Opened GGD and

I really don't know how many more videos of black people being assaulted by police these 'moderates' need to see before they finally acknowledge there's a huge problem... 

Please stop engaging with them, even if they seem calm and collected, it's just a front to bate you into having to answer essentially troll questions, like 'can you prove racial disparity to me, can you give me an accurate percentage' like gtfo...

These people don't want to learn, they just want to waste your time and probably beat off to a video of a cop assaulting a black civilian later...

It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke!

Well yeah that goes without saying! You know I was one of the biggest Bernie supporters on this cult site so I am no fan of identity politics. Just being a minority doesn’t make you qualified, you have to actually know what you’re talking about.

Interesting how no one pointed out that... He's actually right. 100%. Being anti-white supremacist is anti-American, because America was built on white supremacy. He is literally openly saying that he wants America to remain racist. I have no words :smh: 

chaeri pls

The only part i dissagree with is that you are forced to say that all white people contribute racism 

They actually don't force you to say anything. It's a typical HR training.

This is what most of us understand, it’s just a few people here that are playing dumb (or maybe they aren’t playing at all)

Then how do you define hate speech? what makes something hate speech ? where does it start and where does it end?

And who gets to decide and define hate speech? a committee of people? what kind of people decide? and how can one ensure that people who decide and define hate speech, don't define it in a way so they profit from it (which in our political landscape is definitely possible)

 

the problem with the term hatespeech is that it's a pretty new term and only loosely defined. with no precise accuracy.

some people call fair critique hate speech (because offended) while others have a more hands-on approach to call it hate speech when someone uses dirty words and language or incite violence

Hate speech is not a new term. It has been a term for over a century and has been used since at least the 1910s.

Yeah these people need to go educate themselves, or maybe they don't want to be educated like most Trump supporters.

Hi CoolTrainerTerry, thank you for your comment! Yes I have, and it’s been awful to watch :( That’s why I think defunding the current way of training against racial bias and looking at alternatives is probably a necessary move. Have a good day!

You pessimists need to read articles before you start ranting :smh:

Defunding this kind of training is GOOD. Why should race play a part in how police officers, government workers, etc. are trained?? Isn’t that the kind of thinking that everyone, including myself, is fighting AGAINST?! 

The fact that you think his goal is to defund racial training and then provide a better, more critical, alternative to the way workers perceive race like he's MLK Jr. or something :fail:  You know damn well the point of this was to victimise white people and pretend white privilege isn't real, y'all don't HAVE to be contrarian to everything.

America was LITERALLY built by slaves and you want to deny the existence of white privilege? Disgusting f**cker.

Even though the term might have been used since 1910s , which you claim without providing any evidence, it's still a loosely defined term even in 2018. 

Having just a gist of what it is or a feeling what it might be, is not the same as having an exact precise definition. :yennefer:

Because that kind of training is racist and brainwashing.

No race is inherently racist.

No race is inherently racist. But growing up in a society with institutionalized racism will create bias and privilege for one group over another, which is why this type of training is necessary to counteract that and rebalance one’s perspective.

I understand your train of thought, but can you give examples of institutionalized racism?
