Journalist Christopher F. Rufo, who has been documenting Critical Race Theory’s 100-yard dash through corporate America, got his hands on more internal training material and Bank of America, like American Express, is the latest company to push its workers to get “woke at work.”
BOA documents, according to Rufo, show that the company encouraged employees to jump onboard with their “Racial Equity 21-Day Challenge” that incorporated CRT with specific emphasis on intersectionality, white privilege, white fragility, and systemic racism.
Here’s how day one of the challenge went:
• Workers were taught that the U.S. is a “radicalized society” and whites are “living a life with white skin privileges.” Big stuff, right? It’s not just white adults that are a problem. The 21-Day Challenge also points to white toddlers and how they “develop racial biases by ages three to five” and those toddlers need to “reject the ‘smog’ of white privilege.”
Ultimately, at the end of the challenge, workers were encouraged to bring their new-found wokeness to work with them where they were asked to “cede power to people of color within and across teams, organizations, and systems.”
Workers were also challenged to watch a TED talk, that’s right a TED talk, by Baratunde Thurston, who wrote a book titled How To Be Black. Speaking of books, workers were also encouraged to give back, which is a noble cause. Yep, they were encouraged to collect and donate books to kids that were written by black authors.
And if you’re not woke after those 21 days of finding your inner wokeness, it might be time to do another 21-day cycle. 42 days of woke–ing should do the trick.
Earlier this year, Bank of America and the United Way implemented a race reeducation program called United in Action, encouraging employees to participate in a "Racial Equity 21-Day Challenge," built on the principles of critical race theory and intersectionality. pic.twitter.com/lsWk8xwCdT

According to the training program, all whites—"regardless of one's socioeconomic class background or other disadvantages"—are "living a life with white skin privileges." Even white toddlers are guilty and must be "taught to recognize and reject the 'smog' of white privilege." pic.twitter.com/Sh3FsGSivu

Next, Bank of America instructs white employees to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities and confront their "white privilege" and "white fragility," in order to "discover where [they] are on the privilege spectrum" and "if [they] exhibit 'white fragility' traits." pic.twitter.com/GskFzjyEEh

In the final days, BofA tells employees to "decolonize [their] mind[s]" and become "woke at work." Participants must admit that "[their] words and actions are inherently shaped and influenced by systemic oppression" and must "cede power to people of color." pic.twitter.com/7p8s4vgXoR

I hope every BOA branch in predominantly black neighborhoods get held up by #BLM aligned street punks. Oh wait, BOA, like Starbucks, doesn’t have many branches in black neighborhoods.
Hypocritical bastards.
Well then hire a bunch of incompetent blacks and watch your business suffer… but you can feel good about yourself while you file bankruptcy because Diversity Consultant La’Qhesha has ordained that you are Woke .
Hahahahahah! Can we protect the unlucky black kids who are born in the projects or other high crime areas from the “smog” of children out of wedlock? Fatherless families? lack of education? Crime? Gangsterism? Victimhood? We don’t choose our families, our skin color, our neighborhood, etc, those are foisted upon us by God. Some are lucky and get into loving, caring, two parent homes, others of us are born in the Sudan and life is a lot different. No one chooses to be white, black, Hispanic, Asian, etc while in Heaven. More secular, anti-God, anti-Christian bull shit from the Godless left. Focus on real problems. This is why China has the utmost confidence it can kick our ass. They are out in the street doing pushups waiting to kick our ass (Waylan-The Wire) while we are over here worried about fake racism and pronouns. Call me him/he because I was born with a dick and balls.
