They're holding "separate but equal" training sessions. Obviously the only reason why there would be separation is because they're telling the white people how racist they are. But this is Portland, where a self-professed Antifa proponent is probably going to become mayor.
Seems so, it's a county library.
https://thepostmillennial.com/seattle-libraries-implement-racial-segregation-in-the-name-of-social-justice said:King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg and senior staff have recently required employees to sign a "equity and social justice" pledge and assigned "continued training for white employees," who must "do the work" to "learn the true history of racism in our country." Rufo said that every time he writes an article or posts a picture from the sessions, more whistleblowers come forward.
Washington State government officials, especially those in King County and Seattle have been infusing "critical race theory" into their policies and trainings including in public schools.
Earlier this year, The Post Millennial exposed critical race theory practices and curriculum being practiced and taught in Seattle schools. Seattle public schools released a plan to bring students back into the classroom from remote learning, but differentiated the priorities for who should come back first based on many factors involving a measure of those who are most marginalized. Per the guidelines, "students furthest from educational justice," and "students of color" would be given priority on returning to school for face-to-face instruction.
Documents from the Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Rehkdahl outlined the phased approach prioritizing grade level, such as "serve all elementary students first," or "serve students furthest from educational justice first, including students with disabilities, English learners, students experiencing homelessness, students experiencing poverty, students of color, and other student groups."
This past summer, Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Denise Juneau sent an email to students only, saying: "This country has a long history of oppressing people of color, especially Black and African American people. The last couple weeks we have seen demonstrations of systematic racism on full display across our country to the point of murder of Black people. I share in the horror and sadness displayed by the police systems across the country and by some officers here in our own city."
Students in Washington as young as 11-years-old to refer to a riot as an "uprising" and rioters as "freedom fighters" and that "cops are racist." Students were even encouraged to donate to bail-funds that have recently been tied to helping release an accused child rapist.
Adams Elementary School PTA in Ballard, rather than teach about the achievements and history of African Americans in America for Black History Month in February, provided a curriculum loaded with links to progressive ideology including racism against whites, sexual topics, anti police, glorifying racist politicians and even recommending anti Israel books written by known anti-Semites. The "Social Justice" reading recommendations outline the complete ideology.
The only thing the two setups have in common is splitting white people from non-whites, which is more of a temporary measure as they get both groups to relate towards the other. Attempting to push the issues within diversity as it currently stands won't do so well if the other party can keep objecting and otherwise interrupting the lesson plans, while keeping the two separate, for now, can allow their individual issues to be individually addressed pre-integration. Both groups argue that they're the victims here, so addressing their victim concerns in separate-but-equal gatherings when they have separate problems makes sense in the beginning.
It's kind of like when you want dogs and cats to start getting along; having the dog and cat be on opposite sides of a fence or kennel can allow communication without triggering aggression as you try to adapt the two into being able to more easily get along. It's not like they're saying they can't share water fountains or bathrooms for example.
I think it makes sense, but naturally during times of such rampant racial martyring this will be nearly impossible to have look PC. Considering their challenges though, exposing the two groups to each other if they are not already socially adjusted to the idea's liable to present the difficulties of the modern day perception of power shifting. They need the room to communicate their concerns without feeling stifled by their peers, and in this day and age that requires literal separation until they can calm the fuck down.
Both sides feel unable to say how they really feel if the potentially offended party is present, much like men who in public say they're leftists to get chicks, and with cellphones they could record and upload the safe room's biggotry to further the fighting. With these separate rooms otherwise teaching the same lesson plans it's more liable to get to the end without tangential snags and racial arguments, then they can combine groups once both sides "know how to talk to each other".
CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion (ironyyy):Advance the DEI goals of increasing the racial, ethnicity and gender diversity of the team, as well as meeting the signed obligations of the Act On Pledge including:
A) Creating safe spaces to have difficult conversations.
As much as I am against safe spaces as a whole over how people won't adapt to their supposed sources of strife through furthering the appearances of it's separation, I also don't see how we could get people to communicate their problems of race when members of those races are in the room taking notes. There needs to be the ability for people to say modernized racially insensitive things without the other group making a fuss over it if they're to otherwise work through those notions.
Maybe if the groups of color were led by white peers, and the white groups were led by peers of color before swapping some group members around at the proper time?

B) Unconscious bias education.
This shit scares me as a concept, but considering the current model of biased racial educations that otherwise go on online, within peer groups, and even in schools?
It's fighting fire with fire.
It's fighting fire with fire.
C) Peer to peer learning.
Hopefully the divisions are simply step one, as otherwise the current approach risks further subdividing their peers. How well this does or doesn't work will be entirely dependent on the system using it.
D) Creating and sharing strategic DEI plan with the Board of Directors.
Lobbying basically, the easiest step as long as the two groups aren't squabbling with eachother to the degree of Twitter-brand matryrisms.
It's difficult to not only spread counter-intelligence, but to get all parties involved to accept it. I can see how it can be argued that these divisions may be needed for the 101 portion if the students are otherwise liable to pair into their racial demographics as is and otherwise interrupt the curriculum. It otherwise risks being like having flat earthers and christian fundamentalists in your Geology 101 class during it's Global Warming lesson plans.
They don't have the same problems, and addressing them in the same room's less likely to get them worked through.

The issue is that this setup presupposes that white employees have inherent bias, or are conditioned into being exclusionary. It's demeaning to grown adults, and frankly—it's racist. Social justice works very subtly over time, until it manifests as things such as cancel culture and virtue-signaling hysteria. Alice and I have done some posts on how this pervades even to Google's algorithms.

People are allowed to feel how they want to, but that doesn't mean we need mandatory racial programming in libraries and schools. There are proper channels for advocacy, such as the ACLU. And also in general, I despise people who would inform you about how you think because of the color of your skin. The liberal pandering has gone far enough at this point.

Several times I've gotten 1 minute coverage on sexual harassment during job trainings while women were also present. It never was an issue, and it doesn't take more than a minute or two to tell people how to not be an asshole.

Indeed.

You were saying this in response to peer-to-peer learning. I'm actually alright with this, as long as schools aren't taking a sledgehammer approach to things, and becoming cultural reeducation centers. And I think there is no place for this at a job.

They kinda are through the filter of cultural privileges. It's why white men can be like "Well why don't they just try harder?".
It's demeaning to grown adults, and frankly—it's racist.
Anything that serves to construe race through it's divisions has the room to be construed as racism, and is what made the way for the term "Reverse-Racism", the favoring of a people over their race.
How would you have people who feel threatened by the other demographic feel open and free to state their ingrained misconceptions if their supposed enemy is in the same room judging them? They need these "safe spaces" as a first step, even if it's just for small divisions based on the culture of their upbringing.

Google's algorythm is a fucking mess over how it sorts out it's search results based on where you live, blatantly selling misinformation based on your immediate peers in ways that are liable to reinforce the notions. Considering how Google seems convinced that The Bible's our first piece of written literature, I don't have high hopes for how it'd average people's answers through this filter.
People are allowed to feel how they want to
Feelings aren't as viable as facts, and people acting like they're one and the same furthers the poisons we're currently facing.
That doesn't mean we need mandatory racial programming in libraries and schools.
I think we do on the basis of how otherwise naturally racism is for humanity.
And also in general, I despise people who would inform you about how you think because of the color of your skin.
Well yeah, you're a white person.
What's more interesting to me is how Black people are dividing themselves over this notion, but it makes sense to be reminded of our privilege doesn't it? If we aren't, we'd stand to have positions similar to Blanc's on otherwise very important issues.

I disagree.
As long as white people are freaking out about how they're being oppressed, I see value in reassuring them that it's not as bad as they assume. In a similar strain, those racially of color likely need a place to air their pains and concerns without "the enemy" hearing it if they hope to cleanse themselves of that bile.
We can't just ignore the issues here, they need to be addressed and re-educated.
