Disney Employee Training Claims U.S. Was Founded on ‘Systemic Racism,’ Includes ‘White Privilege Checklist’

The Walt Disney Corporation has launched a “diversity and inclusion program” which teaches employees that America was founded on “systemic racism” and asks employees to complete a “white privilege checklist,” according to a new report.
According to whistleblower documents obtained by City Journal, Disney’s new initiative is called “Reimagine Tomorrow” and includes training on so-called systemic racism, white privilege, white fragility, white saviors, microaggressions, and antiracism.
The training claims that the U.S. has a “long history of systemic racism and transphobia” and pushes employees to “take ownership of educating yourself about structural anti-Black racism” and “not rely on your Black colleagues to educate you,” which is “emotionally taxing.”
White employees should “work through feelings of guilt, shame, and defensiveness to understand what is beneath them and what needs to be healed,” the company reportedly suggests. They must “listen with empathy [to] Black colleagues” and “not question or debate Black colleagues’ lived experience.”
Disney tells employees they should focus not on equality or “equal treatment,” but on “equity” and the “equality of outcome.” Employees should “reflect” on the country’s “racist infrastructure” and “think carefully about whether or not [their] wealth” is derived from racism.
The initiative includes the creation of racially segregated “affinity groups” for minority employees aimed at reaching “culturally authentic insights,” according to the report.
The Latino group is called “Hola,” the Asian group is “Compass,” and the black group is “Wakanda.”
The company, which has come under fire for its relationship with China over the country’s alleged human-rights violations, has sponsored a “21-Day Racial Equity and Social Justice Challenge,” according to the report, and has recommended that employees complete the challenge. It begins with a lesson on “systemic racism” and teaches that participants have “all been raised in a society that elevates white culture over others.”
Participants are encouraged to fill out a “white privilege checklist” which includes markers like “I am white,” I am heterosexual,” “I am a man,” “I still identify as the gender I was born in,” “I have never been raped,” “I don’t rely on public transportation,” and “I have never been called a terrorist.”
Participants are then told to shift from “white dominant culture” to “something different.”
“Competition,” “individualism,” “timeliness,” and “comprehensiveness” are “white dominant” values that “perpetuate white supremacy culture,” the training says.
The company recommends that employees read 75 Things White People Can Do for Racial Justice, a how-to guide that tells readers to “defund the police,” “participate in reparations,” “decolonize your bookshelf,” and “find and join a local ‘white space.’”
The report comes after Disney restricted access to classic movies including Dumbo and Peter Pan on its streaming service earlier this year over concerns about racist stereotypes that appear in the films.
The movies, which also include Swiss Family Robinson and The Aristocats, will be removed from Disney+ menus for children under the age of seven, while viewers older than seven will continue having access to the film, according to the New York Post.
Prior to the restriction, Disney added content warnings to the movies in October, which read: “These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together.”

Standing in 100 degree heat for shitty rides and fast food isn’t my idea of a good time.

Why would anyone these days go there? Serious question.

I know the O-T loves Disney World. I enjoyed Walt Disney World at age 14 for my first trip.
I was a little 'ehhh' when I went at age 20.
My final trip at age 41 was excruciatingly awful. How a grown person can enjoy that place is truly beyond me.
Also, Epcot Center at age 14 when I'd only been to six states was cool. The same place at age 41 when I had been to 48 states and 33 countries was like going to La Madeliene and claiming it was 'just like being in France'.

I hated Disney before all of this.
This just adds more reasons as to why

They would stop that garbage if it impacted their bottom line.
Boycott Disney

Nothing for Hispanics?
Nothing for Asians?
Nothing for people from India?
Its just one particular people of color we need racial training, errr reprogramming...?
That doesn't sit well...
Whites are not the majority on the planet...
Whites built America on an idea of freedom for all...
Frankly. That should include thoughts or perceptions of how others behave or other cultures within America

They better remove the “I’ve never been called a terrorist.”
I get called a terrorist every day by people like those at Disney.

Doesn’t matter how woke DW is, you never go in summer. It’s awful. Around Halloween is legit.

I wouldn’t take my kids to that rip-off garbage no matter the stance on wokeness.

I love Disney! Was there in beginning of April....actually had a decent time even with masks
But what pissed me off was the full price for everything and more when so many things like character parades, fireworks and shows aren’t running.
My thing about Disney is they just do everything so well, I truly enjoy it. Been 10 times probably
Totally disagree on all their wholeness bullshite. But unfortunately they will still get my dollars. Downvote away. I’m not gonna let the liberal wiles ruin everything I enjoy. Some things I’ve boycotted others I haven’t. NBA, MLB and nascar are dead to me

Yep! It's been a long social distancing / wearing ridiculous mask / lockdown absurdity. Things have loosened up enough to consider a vacation. With that in mind, I was gathering information on possible vacation venues this summer. Among the choices that made the final cut? Disneyworld at Orlando. We went there back in the mid-eighties. Our kids absolutely loved it. So I was leaning towards taking the grandkids there.
After learning Disney cratered to the "Woke Movement"I have taken this option off the table.
Color me engaging in social distancing from the 'wokies' at DisneyWorld.
As you were.
