“In America, whiteness is the standard and the criteria used to determine whether ideas, actions, or experiences have worth, merit or value. … Whiteness is the control and the standard because whiteness is fundamentally about power.”https://t.co/Inm51XgoFm pic.twitter.com/FnssLHqstQ

I don't "identify" as white - i *am* white - feel the power. Even in lower case I'm all about power.

I suspect a lot more than this is fake. It's like the whole industry of diversity training popped up out of nowhere during Geo. Floyd protests when Woke theory got hot and heavy in corporate world. Previously they were only ruling in academia. Suddenly there's all these diversity training consultants ready to submit huge bills to corporations for nothing much in return except more wasted time.
