America’s largest defense contractor embraces critical race theory
American Thinker ^ | 27 May, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

The entire corporate culture is directed at telling White men that they are evil, an ideology that has profoundly dangerous consequences.

Christopher Rufo’s fame as the person who exposes government agencies and corporations that have bought into critical race theory (“CRT”) is growing and that’s a good thing – knowing he’s there means that employees forced to participate in CRT “training” are beginning to see him as a way to expose their employers’ grotesquely un-American (and quite illegal) racist programs. The latest example of this pernicious program comes from Lockheed-Martin, which is the largest defense contractor in America -- thanks to taxpayer funding.

SCOOP: @LockheedMartin, the nation’s largest defense contractor, sent key executives to a three-day white male reeducation camp in order to deconstruct their “white male culture” and atone for their “white male privilege.”

CRT is the American response to Marx’s theory that capitalists were exploiting workers, a situation that could be solved only by erasing capitalists. Because that theory never worked in America, where economic mobility has always meant that this generation’s workers can be next generation’s capitalists, the Marxists came up with a new theory. As Rufo has written:

But rather than abandon their political project, Marxist scholars in the West simply adapted their revolutionary theory to the social and racial unrest of the 1960s. Abandoning Marx’s economic dialectic of capitalists and workers, they substituted race for class and sought to create a revolutionary coalition of the dispossessed based on racial and ethnic categories.

I've obtained internal documents that will shock you.

Tweets include images from course material not shown here:

The program was led by the consulting firm White Men As Full Diversity Partners, which specializes in helping white males “awaken together.” The participants included a former three-star general and the vice president of production for the $1.7 trillion F-35 fighter jet program.

To begin, the diversity trainers led a “free association” exercise, asking the Lockheed employees to list connotations for the term “white men.” The trainers wrote down “old, racist, privileged, anti-women, angry, Aryan Nation, KKK, Founding fathers, guns, guilty, can’t jump.”

The trainers then asked “what’s in it for white men,” listing responses: “I won’t get replaced by someone who is a better full diversity partner,” “[I will] improve the brand, image, reputation of white men,” and “I [will] have less nagging sense of guilt that I am the problem.”

Next, participants were asked to repeat and internalize 50 “white privilege statements,” including: “My culture teaches me to minimize the perspectives and powers of people of other races”; “I can commit acts of terrorism, violence or crime and not have it attributed to my race.”

That would have been me, were I there.

America’s largest defense contractor joins the Demonicrat Party in giving aid and comfort to the foreign and domestic enemies of the United States.

When did our employers become our therapists or reeducation enforcers? Why don’t these corporations have training/seminars for men of other races/ethnicities, and pick over all their negative stereotypical behaviors in order to improve them as “diversity partners?” What about Black Men as Full Diversity Partners? I can just imagine the critiques for that one.

Finally, what does all of this annoying time wasting have to do with the mission of building aircraft and weapons?

This is the way genocides begin. Demonizing a group and blaming that group for all of the problems of other groups. Everything is now the fault of Whitey McCracker.

Like when the Hutus slaughtered the Tutsis in Rwanda. There was the same type of demonization just pounded into the Hutus to stir up the hate and then the predident’s aircraft crashed and that was the trigger, it was blamed on the Tutsis and the genocide only took about a week.

These genuses (sp) are stirring up the hatred against an armed majority where many know what is going on.

...list connotations for the term “white men.”...

How about oppressed, abused, falsely accused, demonized...

Prove me wrong. Show me one positive thing about white men in the leftist media in the last 5 years. I'll wait.

Note, if white men were even 1/100th as bad as they are made out to be this Country would look very different, and we wouldn't have these little leftists jerks running around spewing their garbage. Better be careful what you wish for lefties, I just might decide to become all those things you're accusing me of.

Time for a civil rights lawsuit for discrimination and creating a hostile work environment. This nonsense has to stop!

Wait till this hits the engineering staff.
Most people don’t know is there has always been a general disconnect between Executive Staff and the engineers who solve the problems and design the product.

Engineers do what they do because they LOVE to solve unsolvable problems.
Getting dragged into meetings and told they are scum and being forced to hire unqualified people is NOT what they want.

Just like Intel, Lockheed is making a big mistake and its going to shatter the company.

Yep. Time to engage in widespread and aggressive lawfare. We have to use their tools to stop them.

"And just like that there were no more White people on TV commercials."

At the post office yesterday there were numerous ads on the walls showing the various mail and package services offered by the USPS. None of the people featured in the ads were White people.
