Google Employee Education Program Teaches That America is a ‘System of White Supremacy’
“extensive racial-reeducation program, based on the core tenets of critical race theory”
Chris Rufo has been a leader in the fight to expose Critical Race Theory in education and corporate America. He recently published a report about tech giant Google and an anti-racist training program for its employees.
It sounds like something straight off a left-wing college campus.
Rufo writes at City Journal:
Don’t Be Evil
Technology giant Google has launched an “antiracism” initiative that presents speakers and materials claiming that America is a “system of white supremacy” and that all Americans are “raised to be racist.”
I have obtained a trove of whistleblower documents from inside Google that reveal the company’s extensive racial-reeducation program, based on the core tenets of critical race theory—including “intersectionality,” “white privilege,” and “systemic racism.” In a foundational training module called “Allyship in Action,” Google’s head of systemic allyship Randy Reyes and a team of consultants from The Ladipo Group train employees to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, and then rank themselves on a hierarchy of “power [and] privilege.”
The trainers then instruct the employees to “manage [their] reactions to privilege”—which are likely to include feelings of “embarrassment, shame, fear, [and] anger”—through “body movement,” “deep breathing,” “accessing [their] ‘happy place,’” and “cry[ing].”
The program presents a series of video conversations promoting the idea that the United States was founded on white supremacy.
In one video, Google’s former global lead for diversity strategy, Kamau Bobb—who was later reassigned to a non-diversity-related role at the company after being exposed for writing that Jews have “an insatiable appetite for war and killing”—discussed America’s founding with 1619 Project editor Nikole Hannah-Jones.
Rufo discussed this last night on FOX News:
Rufo has also posted details on Twitter that are shocking, frankly:
SCOOP: Google has launched an "antiracism" initiative claiming that America is a "system of white supremacy" and that all Americans are "raised to be racist"—including Ben Shapiro, who is depicted as a layer of the "white supremacy pyramid," culminating in "genocide."

In a video, guest lecturer Ibram Kendi claimed that all Americans, including children as young as 3 months old, are racist: "To be raised in the United States, is to be raised to be racist, and to be raised to be racist is to be raised to almost be addicted to racist ideas." pic.twitter.com/3TyF49mhXi

Denial of racism is proof that a person is racist. "For me, the heartbeat of racism is denial and the sound of that denial is 'I'm not racist,'" Kendi told Google employees. "It's a critically important step for Americans to no longer be in denial about their own racism." pic.twitter.com/60Fi1FYJJV

In another video, guest lecturer Nikole Hannah-Jones claimed that she created the 1619 Project to verify her "lifelong theory" that everything in the modern-day United States can be traced back to slavery: "If you name anything in America, I can relate it back to slavery." pic.twitter.com/yeV2DpVxHY

Jones claimed that "the first Africans being sold [in 1619] is more foundational to the American story" than "the Pilgrims landing at Plymouth Rock."
"If you're white in this country," she said, "you are the beneficiary of a 350-year system of white supremacy." pic.twitter.com/w9TezVOVGb

A Google DEI Lead created an internal document called "Anti-racism resources," containing readings and racial-consciousness exercises. One graphic claims that "colorblindness," "Columbus Day," "weaponized whiteness," and "Make America Great Again" are "covert white supremacy." pic.twitter.com/kLIc5JZu8U

In 2015, Google quietly ditched its corporate motto, "Don’t Be Evil." Maybe the company, which has now become the world's library, should revisit that decision.

This is a company that, in many ways, has more power and influence than the United States government.
Their enthusiastic embrace of this blatantly radical, left-wing political ideology should alarm every American.

That’s the Goldilocks theory. Whites didn’t get the most smart genes but got behavioral ones that enable cooperation needed for a free government.
This is funny, because to my mind, the white behavior that most led to American government structure was a sense of personal sovereignty, individualism, independence, and downright cussedness — precisely the opposite of cooperation. Cooperation gets you Japan or the Borg.
Not ha ha funny. But it is strange for sure.
Mostly is assimilation of unwritten rules. Gentlemen’s agreements. What, mostly, the democrats are doing away with.
According to Wikipedia household income of Asian Indians in the USA is TWICE the household income of White Americans.
Explain that Google!
Because those Indians are really white! Or something.
They invented the term ‘white-adjacent’ to ‘explain’ that.
They created a meaningless talking point phrase for comrades to use when such questions are asked. No need to explain WTH it means. Just say it and call anyone questioning it a racist.
I find it interesting how the left always sees history as linear when in fact it’s a web.
As an investor, I find this idiocy extremely frustrating. Tech companies are a must in every investor’s portfolio, and, their track record of returns is undeniably spectacular. But, this “woke” posturing, hostility towards the U.S. and towards non-Leftist viewpoints and opinions, and, attendant totalitarianism and intolerance, is exceedingly nauseating and offensive. Silicon Valley, like the rest of California, leans super-Left; just a fact of life.
They talk the talk. Do they walk the walk?
Some cynics would argue that making their employees sit through all this tiresome CRT nonsense is something tech companies do to trick the social justice retard brigade into thinking they like care about black people or whatever.
Just a bit of harmless PR.
That you can get fired for not cooperating with.
Forgot the cites: James Damore, Taras Kobernyk, Margaret Mitchell, Timnit Gebru…
Well sure, but what do you rally have to do to cooperate? Sit through some dumb lectures and keep your mouth shut?
Doesn’t seem that hard.
Also as an investor, it irks me to have my broker tell me that my portfolio is not performing to benchmark because I’ve asked him not to invest in Google, Facebook, or Twitter. I still don’t understand how it is that the most communist corporations in America are achieving the best returns in the capitalist market. Maybe this is the right-wing expression of cognitive dissonance.
Does their woke ideology guide actual business decisions, or is it all just a bunch of empty platitudes?
I think woke people don’t sleep enough to make good business decisions.
The “woke” nonsense does intrude on business decisions. Alphabet/Google is a case in point. Just one example; there are many more — Google Cloud’s former CEO, Diane Greene, butted heads with Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai because a slew of Google employees was unhappy that Greene was courting the U.S. Department of Defense as a potential Cloud client, and, made vociferous complaints to management. Note that Amazon Web Services and Microsoft (the two leaders in Cloud computing) both actively courted DoD as a client, with Jeff Bezos (to his credit, in a rare moment of non-wokeness) stating at a D.C. business forum that the U.S. is worth defending, and, needs tech companies to help out, on that score.
So, to recap — a large number of Google employees, some of the most privileged and highly-compensated people on Earth, living in the freest, most prosperous and most fair society on Earth, were upset because their employer wanted to do business with the military arm of their home country.
Henry, I’d submit that you should be invested in these companies. Not only to reap solid returns, but, because as an investor, you (generally, but, not always) have a shareholder vote, and, thus, a voice to express with regard to company policy and management, even if that voice and votes admittedly represent a tiny fraction of company ownership.
Based on historical articles I’ve read recently, the first slave owners in the Virginia colony were neither white nor European…….. which kinda blows the 1619 nonsense out of water. If I were a Google employee, I’d be highly insulted to have this garbage rammed down my throat.
How long would Google run if all the
honkieswhites just walked out the door, en masse?Depends on whether you count the cucked ones fresh out of our Marxist education factories. I’m not sure how many of the traditional type are left there now.
“If you’re white in this country,” she said, “you are the beneficiary of a 350-year system of white supremacy.”
Let me correct that for you.
If you LIVE in this country, you are the beneficiary of a 350-year system of white supremacy.
And if you didn’t genuinely believe, deep down, that you were better off here than you ever would be back in the Old Country, you were always free to move there… and yet, you prefer to stay here and bitch.
“If you LIVE in this country, you are the beneficiary of a 350-year system of white supremacy.”
Sure, but white folks have benefited the most, wouldn’t you say?
In any society being a member of the dominant ethnic group provides certain advantages. If you doubt me ask a Chinese Uyghur or a Turkish Kurd. America is much like everywhere else in this respect.
“America is much like everywhere else in this respect.” I trust you were attempting hyperbolic sarcasm with that. Well… OK…FDR did build concentration camps but ignore party affiliation. Also ignore that immigrants have fared better here …. want to be black in the rest of the world?
“Sure, but white folks have benefited the most, wouldn’t you say?”
How stupid.
We built it. We should benefit from it.
Your family have benefited the most from your paycheck, wouldn’t you say… you racist?
I love the irony of Google’s false claims of not being evil. They are totally corrupt and evil.
James Damore barely scratched the surface when he questioned Google’s diversity policies and was fired for it.
Corporate HR departments are now little more than leftwing political commissars whose job is political indoctrination of the workforce and enforcement of wokeness, DEI, and CRT. Picking up where the government run schools and universities left off.
The marketing departments are falling in line, too. Note the DEI themed changes in a many television commercials lately. I DVR what little I watch and skip the commercials. And I can still see it.
They’re following the Chinese Communist neo-Marxist model.
Having the government directly do all these things is so Soviet-style 20th century. Works better when the Marxists can enlist mega-corporations to do the job.
Since antiracist ideology appears to conform to the warning stages of genocide, those warnings may be censored as “hate speech.”
We are at War.
Useful idiots in the USA have developed into a Fifth Column that will tear the country apart. The so-called “woke” are those who are most easily manipulated by the race-baiters and the Marxists. We must not allow a minority of morons with arse-backward ideas to destroy America.
This is a battle for hearts and minds. Really, the soul of America.
The enemy seeks to turn our open society and our freedoms against us.
We in America have failed to be diligent in protecting our freedom. We left the door open – just a crack – and Tyranny now has pushed a foot in and is trying to bust it open. God help us – we must shut that door tight and lock it.
Because we are at war – we cannot be complacent. We must call them what they are – the enemy. The enemy wants to destroy us and tear-down everything we and our parents and grandparents built.
The enemy are COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARIES. They are counter to the principles of the revolution we won in 1781.
Aside from the Twilight Amendment (e.g. reproductive rites, planned parent/hood), America does not in principle, letter of law, or constitution exercise liberal license to indulge diversity [dogma] (i.e. color judgment), not limited to racism, sexism, ageism.
That said, from the Nazis braying Jew privilege, to the neo-Nazis braying White privilege. #HateLovesAborton
Google doesn’t do bad things like that. Just google it and see!
Let me summarize the world according to Woke..
Western Civilization is white supremacist and systemically racist. And it must be eradicated.
No wonder The Regime seems to get on well with the Taliban.
This only makes sense when you realize the left does not care about racism, it is about power.
