Cult Programming in Seattle
The city is training white municipal employees to overcome their âinternalized racial superiority.â
Last month, the City of Seattleâs Office of Civil Rights sent an email inviting âwhite City employeesâ to attend a training session on âInterrupting Internalized Racial Superiority and Whiteness,â a program designed to help white workers examine their âcomplicity in the system of white supremacyâ and âinterrupt racism in ways that are accountable to Black, Indigenous and People of Color.â Hoping to learn more, I submitted a public records request for all documentation related to the training. The results are disturbing.
At the beginning of the session, the trainers explain that white people have internalized a sense of racial superiority, which has made them unable to access their âhumanityâ and caused âharm and violenceâ to people of color. The trainers claim that âindividualism,â âperfectionism,â âintellectualization,â and âobjectivityâ are all vestiges of this internalized racial oppression and must be abandoned in favor of social-justice principles. In conceptual terms, the city frames the discussion around the idea that black Americans are reducible to the essential quality of âblacknessâ and white Americans are reducible to the essential quality of âwhitenessââthat is, the new metaphysics of good and evil.
Once the diversity trainers have established this basic conceptual framework, they encourage white employees to âpractice self-talk that affirms [their] complicity in racismâ and work on âundoing [their] own whiteness.â As part of this process, white employees must abandon their âwhite normative behaviorâ and learn to let go of their âcomfort,â âphysical safety,â âsocial status,â and ârelationships with some other white people.â As writer James Lindsay has pointed out, this is not the language of human resources; it is the language of cult programmingâpersuading members they are defective in some predefined manner, exploiting their emotional vulnerabilities, and isolating them from previous relationships.
Itâs important to point out that this âinterrupting whitenessâ training is not an anomaly. In recent years, nearly every department of Seattle city government has been recruited into the ideological fight against âwhite supremacy.â As I have documented, the cityâs homelessness agency hosted a conference on how to âdecolonize [their] collective workâ; the school system released a curriculum explaining that âmath is a tool for oppressionâ; and the city-owned power company hired a team of bureaucrats to fight âstructural racismâ within their organization. Dozens of private companies now offer diversity training to public agencies. The idea that all whites have unconscious, âimplicit biasâ that they must vigilantly program themselves to overcome has become an article of faith across corporate boardrooms, academia, and law-enforcement agencies, even though the premise is unscientific and impossible to verify.
The endgame is to make Seattleâs municipal government the arbiter of the new orthodoxy, and then work outward. At the end of the session on âinternalized racial superiority,â the diversity trainers outline strategies for converting outsiders and recommend specific âpractices for interrupting othersâ whiteness.â In effect, the activists have organized an ideological pyramid schemeâusing public dollars to establish their authority within the government, then using that authority to recruit others into the program. As Lindsay writes, âthe goal is no longer to indoctrinate on what is ârightthinkâ and âwrongthink.â It is to make the [subjectâs] thinking be completely in line with the view of the world described by the cult doctrine.â
How far can this racial-justice shakedown extend itself? The new racial orthodoxy has seen exponential growth in the past few years and has proved extremely difficult for local governments and elite institutions to resist. The movementâs key rhetorical premise is designed as a trap: if you are not an âantiracist,â then you are a âracistââand must be held to account. Skeptics might dismiss Seattleâs âinterrupting whitenessâ training as a West Coast oddity, but it is part of a nationwide movement to make this kind of identity politics the foundation of our public discourse. It may be coming soon to a city or town near you.
