Inclusive Workplace Training: Post your Questions Here

So my brilliant HR person decided to book this obv scam of a businesswoman to come and talk to us about Diversity Equity and Inclusion.

Below is the the overview:


Goals:

To provide you with a baseline understanding of how to foster a psychologically safe workplace
To begin to understand race in America and how racism and oppression are ingrained in our institutions
To provide a safe space to brainstorm and commit to at least 1 actionable step to foster an anti-racist, psychologically safe environment


Agenda:

Intro, Goals,& Ground Rules
Psychological Safety 101: The Fundamentals
Understanding Our Differences: Defining Diversity & Inclusion
Race,Oppression, & Anti-Blackness
How to Recognize & Mitigate Bias
Action Planning: Individuals Commit to 1 Thing for Change
Final Thoughts / Q&A


So not only is this bitch taking up my entire lunch but this will last an entire 90 minutes. Since there will be a Q&A portion, I would like you all to post some questions I can ask her.


Possible questions include:

- I noticed that throughout the entire 90 minutes, not one second was devoted to the hate crime that was perpetrated against the Asians last year(largely by Blacks). Also, noticed not one sections was dedicated to the Jews, whom not only have been at the forefront of the Civil Rights movement dating back to the 50s with Thurgood Marshall, but have experienced a recent increase in hate crime attacks as well. Almost 300% more this January than last. Why is that? Do you not feel those groups are worthy of anti-Jewishness or anti-Asianness?

- Are you a fan of Ibrahim Kendi? If so, a lot of her rhetoric involves putting the blame on inequality with the people at the top. Its no surprise then that a lot of individuals in power are of Jewish decent. Therefore, its not hard to make a connection that those groups of people are the cause of these issues. The same rhetoric was espoused during 1930s in Germany and we all seen how that turned out. Are you not concerned about that occurring again, especially with the rise of anti Semitic attacks?



Im not looking to get fired but if this bitch taking up 1.5 hours, I better get my times worth.

If everyone has to agree to change one thing then wouldn't that presume that everyone in attendance needs to change and isn't that presumption itself a bit racist?

Blame the gays for this

"Whoppi Goldberg said that the Holocaust wasn't about race. What do you think?"

"Many CRT proponents insist black people can't be racist, yet I've seen tens of videos, from New York to SF, of black people targeting Asian people, often saying it out load. Can black people be racist?"

"The N word is said to be acceptable only for black people to use. Is it OK for half black people to use the N Word, or does their whiteness cancel out their N word pass?"

"How come black people in the inner city or places like Chicago murder each other so frequently, and is this the result of white supremacy / anti-blackness?"

"Can Blacks and Mexicans be white supremacists?"

"Since we are all racist, can you share a time you were racist?"

"Do you really expect us to buy any of this bullshit?"

My "friend" used to call into 8th tier poker radio shows and say the n word 3 times.

Does this make me a racist for being his "friend"?

Ibram X. Kendi is a dude, so you probably shouldn't refer to him as "her", unless you claim you're trying to be gender inclusive.

Not sure that I'd ask the questions proposed in this thread if you plan on keeping your job long term.

If you want to score some points I'd walk into the meeting with this tag on.



Also, if you provide photographic evidence you wore the name tag into the meeting I will dono $50.00 to the next freeroll

Actually you should ask what they are doing to be inclusive to gay people, and when the gay workshop will be.

As a twink-loving gay man, you have a right to ask that question. Unless you aren't out at work.

Kendi is a male.

And my guess is you would be fired if you asked any derivation of any of your sample questions.

Was she sincere or was she some type of race lady?

1. I think this is the most legitimate question you could ask without sounding aggressive. Her explanation only made it worse because it sounded like she thinks that racism only affects blacks

2. Too judgemental

3. I like it.

4. 2nd worse question

5. No point to ask, too confrontational

6. My favorite one. This puts her in a position to either say black people cant be racist or she has to lean in and explain a time.

7. Worst one obv, because apparently there are hundreds if not thousands of people making a living off of this stuff so someone is buying lol

You really should ask if she will donate $50 of her speaking fee to your vacation fund.

I mean it would help her be more inclusive, wouldn't it?

This bitch convieniently forgets to mention the obesity rate in Black community and how that was a driving force for the death rates as well as the mistrust of govt and vaccines in general dating back to the 50s.
