I had to take a metric ton of the shit. I was briefly in the field of social work. This is the main reason I quit that job. Week after week there were seminars, online trainings, conferences and almost every one of them had racial components.
The trainings were on implicit bias, how to be an ally, how and why white people should “yield their power and voice” to black people-in one break-out session, the black moderator asked me my opinion on the topic and I simply said “I yield my voice and my power.”
In the “how to be an ally” conference, the moderator specifically stated that it is a duty for white Americans to stop and film police interactions with black Americans and to be a witness. I broke my silence on that one and got into a few arguments via comments when they were bashing the police.
I actually made a thread about my trainings during one of those week long seminars
