The entire social justice movement has gone completely mad. After all how else would any sane person describe what the social justice movement has done to a library in Seattle in Washington State?
According to a report in the Post-Millennial, a library in Seattle is holding racially segregated social justice training sessions in order to root out perceived ‘institutional racism’ in the library system. The Post-Millennial is claiming that the King County Library is holding racially segregated training sessions, one for White employees and one for Black employees. The organisation putting on this training is claiming that the sessions would be ‘separate but equal’, a phrase that to me is reminiscent of Apartheid South Africa or the old Jim Crow American south prior to the Civil Rights Act.
The Post-Millennial said:
According to Chris Rufo, filmmaker is the director of the Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth & Poverty, “…at the King County Library System, a private consulting firm called Racial Equity Consultants recently held racially-segregated “listening sessions” as part of the library’s ongoing racial justice programs.
The consultants “begin with an anti-oppression framework” and use segregated sessions in order to root out “institutional privileges and systemic inequities embedded in the current socio-political conditions that influence and affect our institutions.”
The consultants discovered widespread “institutional racism” in the library system—and dismissed employees who reported “not experiencing or witnessing racism while working at KCLS” as likely suffering from the false consciousness of “internalized racism.” When reached by e-mail, Racial Equity Consultants said it was not authorized to comment.
Separating people by race like this has a name, it’s called racism. It shows me yet again that the biggest and most dangerous racists out there are coming not from the bonehead far right, but from Left wing groups that have managed to garner for themselves far too much influence in the administrative structures of Western nations like the USA.
Like the Witch trials, if a group is paid to find “racists” you can bet your shirt that they will find some and more importantly keep doing so as the unprovable definition warps beyond any logical definition. After all, if they did not, they would be out of a job and that would never do would it?
Agree there. There is indeed a lot in common with backward pre-moderns shouting ‘witch’ at people and those who make exaggerated or untrue ‘racism’ claims.
