Well I won’t go to work for Red Hat or IBM!

Caught this and pretty much lost my shit.

Red Hat Honors the DEI Ten Commandments for Whitey Only

What hacked me off was this section

ALLYSHIP COMMANDMENTS

  1. Openly acknowledges PRIVILEGE and SYSTEMIC racism exist in trauma
  2. Never questions the REALITY of our BLACK friends and colleagues
  3. Rejects the idea that race is political
  4. Accepts that WHITE people are responsible for dismantling racism
  5. Only WHITE people are racist
  6. Knows the BLACK community owes us nothing in this work
  7. Requires acknowledgment and repair of inevitable MISTAKES
  8. Is never rooted in WHITE SAVIORISM
  9. Sees the black community as a group of individuals and not a MONOLITH
  10. Does NOT seek recognition or praise for a job well done

What the ever living fuck is this shit?

Item “5. Only WHITE people are racist” Uh nope! Some of the most racist folks I’ve ever worked with were Asian folks. Japanese, Korean, Chinese, folks literally hate each other in a professional way. A Japanese engineer will take any and every opportunity to embarrass a Chinese engineer and vice versa. Korean engineers will do the same to either Japanese or Chinese folks with equal venom!

Have the morons writing this list of commandments taken a look at South Africa lately? Uh dumbshits… It’s not white farmers shooting each other, burning fields, and raping women.

Item 10 is also a real winner. That just does alway with meritocracy.

You never get a raise unless you generate some buzz about yourself. Believe me, just doing your job, being there every day, and going home will absolutely not get you a raise or promotion. Raises and Promotions only come to those who publicize themselves or plant their lips on their bosses asses. Item 10 is nothing more than a method to prevent White people from getting raises or promotions.

I won’t be applying for any position with IBM or Red Hat. The good thing is that my job search in the morning will be shorter.

The bad thing is that my job search has been getting shorter daily over the past year. As more and more companies go “Woke” or start with this DEI shit, I know without question that I’m going to be ignored. Even if I were to get hired, it’s unlikely that I’d make it through orientation.

I’m not going to sign a document or declaration that espouses beliefs that I do not agree with, or believe.
