If the “woke” ever woke up, they might realize that their offensive, hateful anti-white propaganda would never be tolerated if white racism were really as severe and endemic as they claim.
The Woke Brigade’s malarkey was on full display at a Home Depot outlet in Calgary, Alberta, in a “leaked training pamphlet”:
The flyer that was reportedly posted in a break room at a Calgary, Alberta, Home Depot showed the home improvement giant’s logo and was titled, “Leading Practices: Unpacking Privilege.” It asks employees to literally “check” their “privilege,” whether it be “white privilege,” class privilege,” “Christian privilege,” “cisgender privilege,” “able-bodied privilege,” or “heterosexual privilege.”
The flyer:
Whoever was ultimately responsible for this should realize that advocating for human rights does not entail bashing any other group. Battling discrimination and racism is one thing. To zero in on a target unjustifiably is another. Also, blacks are still held as slaves by Arab Muslims in Algeria, Mauritania, Sudan and Libya. Many Arabs are anti-black. Afghans are at the back of the bus in Iran. China is openly racist against blacks and overweight people. The largest “Black nationalist organization in the US,” the Nation of Islam, spreads virulent hatred against Jews, whites and LGBTQ groups. Muslim rape gangs also view white girls as “worthless” and “trash.”
What do the woke think? That discrimination and racism are exclusively a white problem? Or that racism from other groups is parked at the border in an era of multiculturalism and open-door immigration?
Shame on Home Depot in Calgary, which has chosen the woke path of exclusivity rather than inclusivity in its divisive and discriminatory practices. It is also insulting to visible minorities, who are perpetually deemed to be helpless victims who are in need of handouts and patronizing sympathy from the woke.
Aburrahman Muhammad, an imam who was once with the International Institute of Islamic Thought but had the good sense to leave, observed:
This sense of victimization has now reached a point – especially given the consistent rhetoric of groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations – that many rank-and-file Muslims now genuinely believe that they are a persecuted and oppressed group.
This applies also to many blacks in America, Canada and elsewhere. It isn’t only whites who were oppressors.
Hate against any and every group as such as wrong. That includes the perpetual targeting of whites for past wrongs, which is often done by those who at the same time exonerate non-whites for current and ongoing human rights abuses. Ironically, it is the white woke working alongside supremacist groups such as Muslim Brotherhood-linked organizations and the Communist-rooted Black Lives Matter, who perpetuate anti-white “privilege.” It’s a method of manipulating societal and individual weakness to stir up race wars, in pursuit of the goal of destroying Western democracies from within and supplanting them with Marxist regimes. The average Leftist believes these claims. Many BLM leaders have also lined their pockets, playing the victimhood card and betraying their own people.
America had a black president. That would have been unthinkable just a few decades before he was elected. Too many Western countries have evolved to the point of (as they say in economic terms) diminishing returns.
Fighting discrimination and advocating for equal rights and human rights is admirable, but the likes of Home Depot and the woke brigade, who incessantly parade their superiority (“privilege,” they call it) while spreading the propaganda of victimhood groups are the real racists.
Note:
Martin Luther King Jr. was commonly attacked by his critics as being a “mouthpiece for the white man,” a criticism that came from leftists.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
What does “unpacking privilege” mean? Answer: It means not keeping your privilege packed away in wrappings, but taking out of its packaging and putting it into practice, so that it flourishes.
What does “check your privilege” mean? This is more difficult. It might be taken to mean to keep your privilege in check, but in this context it means to check out your privilege and observe how it gloriously, happily operates.
Infidel says
Doesn’t Corporate Home Depot have a uniform policy? How does one branch anywhere formulate such policies on its own?
mortimer says
Uniform policy? Hardly. That would entail Home Depot training MUSLIM employees to ‘check’ their ‘brown,’ ‘MUSLIM,’ ‘male chauvinist, misogynistic privilege’.
gravenimage says
Home Depot is headquartered in the US, and said they had nothing to do with this. Whether they will put a stop to this ugly insanity is another question.

Personally I refuse to accept responsibility for Henry VIII killing off so many of his wives. He did not ask my approval but, if he had, I likely would not have given it. I guess I’m privileged because, being male, I wouldn’t have qualified to be one of his wives.
PMK says
Diversity training is harmful and divisive. It makes you focus on differences between people instead of treating everyone equally. I had it for a week and then went back to my job and did my best to forget all of it. I worked with people from many countries and we respected one another and learned from one another.
Keith O says
Know what you mean PMK, My daughter was forced to go through this humiliating process.
She was told that because she is “white”, intelligent, good looking, (gets that from her mother), and grew up in a stable environment, that she had white privilege and as such was racist.
She asked if having an Aboriginal grandfather cancelled out being racist?
Apparently the reaction was priceless.

Good for your daughter for fighting back against this ugliness, Keith.
Keith O says
Yeah, she’s got a good head on her shoulders and her tolerance for wankers is lower than mine!

………….
This *should* be the case, but is no longer. And the idea that any of these groups are “privileged” in today’s mad envoronment could not be more absurd in any case.
I can’t read that entire paper, but let’s take a look at what we can see:
The claim that if you think that police are there to help you, that is “white privilege”.
But what are Home Depot policies if, say, the store is held up or there is an assault on customers or staff? No doubt the call the police. But is now forbidden?
It also says that if your family has reached the level of security where they can afford to send their children to college that this is “class privilege”, instead of being something that many people have worked very hard to achieve.
Just appalling stuff.
somehistory says
It is truly amazing that people are so incredibly stupid.
For instance, in the U. S. where this nonsense seems to be peaking, Whites have always been the majority.
Blacks (some of them) complain that the Constitution, written by White guys has only been applied in order to make the claim that Whites are not racist.
However, it seems to escape their notice…and that of the White idiots who combine their voices with the racist Blacks, that if Whites, being in the majority, had not cared to be fair, had not *wanted* everyone to have an equal and fair chance at *getting ahead* and having whatever they wanted to work for, Whites could have long held on to all positions of power.
There are Black judges, congressmen, doctors, lawyers, business owners, CEO’s of large corporations, etc. All of these things prove beyond a doubt that the statements, the claims, that **all** Whites are racists are false.
There are thousands of poor White people, which disproves the “privilege” claim. Hundreds of Whites live in poverty on the hills and mountains and are referred to hillbillies, and farmers, “rednecks, in derogatory ways. Where is the White privilege for these ones?
There have been cases of poor Whites, applying for aid, being treated with contempt by Blacks in positions where they get to make decisions about supplying the aid. No White privilege there.
Christians are being persecuted in more places and nations than any other group, which proves the lie about Christian “privilege.” And, White Christians are the only religious group that is regularly criticized, insulted, lied about, etc. and no one makes an effort to charge the offenders with “hate” crimes.
The idiot, liar trudeau, even said he “understood’ why churches were being destroyed, but was lamenting over one mozlum barracks…being attacked… by a mozlum.
And, one man, one woman is the way people are made. Being referred to as hetero in a derogatory way is just demonic. Perversion is from satan and nothing for which to be proud.
James Lincoln says
somehistory says,
“…Whites could have long held on to all positions of power.”
Yes, they could have.
But they didn’t – as the concept of “fairness” evolved.
Of course, no good deed goes unpunished…
somehistory says
this “punishment” just keeps on going…and the lies are multiplying daily.

Monday mask mandates were dropped, so I went shopping for the first time since hell froze over. All the employees at Home Depot wore masks, Lowe’s, Canadian Tire, Dress shops, Grocery Stores did not. I wondered if the employees were instructed to wear them. I am not going back, I am so tired of stupid. It would be wonderful for all the little kids if the so called adults were to grow up.

People change hmmm. The Law Society of Ontario will allow Toronto 18 terrorists, Saad Gaya to become a licensed lawyer after its tribunal found him to be “presently of good character “. He did plead guilty, was sentenced to 18 years, out in 10 and now articling at a law firm.
gravenimage says
Crazy, E T. He should be deported, not allowed to practice law.
E T says
He only wanted to blow up the Toronto Stock Exchange, several other buildings and cut the head off Stephen Harper. Trudeau and Singh will probably recommend the Order of Canada for him.
The truckers, Proud Boys and some Ministers are in prison, Justine says they are terrorists.

Good post, E T–compare and contrast.
OLD GUY says
I had no idea of how privileged I am. Hell I thought it was just going to school and getting educated, having a family with both parents, working hard at two or more jobs to get ahead, saving for the future and love of God and Country that EARNED you a better life. Now I find out from those who don’t work, live off of the rest of us, Don’t respect God and Hate their country that I’am the problem.
Take some responsibility for your self and quit crying because you don’t have everything you want, you won’t. Stay in SCHOOL and LEARN and then go to work, and yes you may have to start at the bottom, but if you don’t ever start you can’t get anywhere. Hard work pays off and it doesn’t care who or what you are.
Oh and don’t get tattoos and piercings all over your body, they don’t help when applying for a job. Unless thats your career choice.

They forget to include the “Asian”, I mean the Mongoloid Asians. Oh sorry, I forgot, now the “Asian” is also considered as white, not yellow. (sarc)
gravenimage says
Yep. At Lowell HIgh School in San Francisco, studious Asian kids are being condemend as “White supremacist” for working hard in school. Wish I were joking:
“San Francisco school board member Alison Collins used slur to describe Asian Americans in tweets”
The vice president of the San Francisco Board of Education once wrote a long Twitter thread accusing Asian Americans of using “white supremacist thinking to assimilate and ‘get ahead,'” and comparing them to a “house n****r” (she added the asterisks and did not spell out the word)…

Now you have *school board members* sneering at kids for studying hard–this ugly stupidity used to just come from bullying losers.
somehistory says
That is still the source of the ugly stupidity.

Yes–I meant this rather ironically, Somehistory. This schoolboard member is as bad as some thug on the playground.
