Here’s one of the “braniacs” we’re told we should be listening to

Update: A little detective work has revealed this “person” to be Ashleigh Shackelford, self described as “(she/they), a Black fat cultural producer, multidisciplinary artist, nonbinary shapeshifter, hood feminist, and data futurist based in Atlanta, Georgia, with roots in Richmond, Virginia.” One wonders if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would ever disavow this lunatic and encourage her to get psychological help or instead, would they insist that all of us must subscribe to what she’s saying?! Any doubt that the Shiny Pony would be the first to sign up for one of her seminars?

  1. I’m a racist eh?
    Ok.
    I also dislike fat people and most of all I dislike ignorant people. You’ve hit the trifecta.

    Are these people (not to mention their enablers) possessed?

  2. I would go and then walk out when the BS started. If management and HR didn’t like it I would tell them to speak to my lawyer. It should also be challenged as creating a hostile work environment at the least and constructive dismissal at the most.

      1. Why should I have to hide the donuts when she doesn’t have to hide them?

        All of us being equal and all
        ..or not!

  3. The managers and owners at my company (all good guys) know I’m out the door the second any of this bullshit shows up at our company.

    How the frick anyone can sit there and be demonized by some HR sociology hack without losing it is beyond me.

    1. Sociology? Yeah … the Sociology of Louis Farrakhan. What’s the tip off? Use of the word “Demons”. We white folk (like the Joos) are … Demons.

      Any company who does this to their employees should be sued out of existence. Period.

    2. The audience was largely old white women who are quite stupid if you don’t mind my saying. Why would any sane white person attend a hate whitey course?

      1. I wouldn’t sit and listen to this ignorant racist bitch for more than 2 seconds… but I would call her out for being such an ignorant racist bitch before I left… and if I got fired for speaking the truth than I’ll see my employer in court. Have another donut and eff off you vile racist.

    1. Don’t get between this “oppressed” American and a plate of ribs … your bones would be crushed to powder

  4. This is Human Resources.
    This is what they do.
    When they are not preventing the company from hiring competent,skilled people.
    Clueless and useless, but smart enough to not hire people who will laugh at them.
    Relatives,now thats a whole other thing.
    Bottom of the gene pool surrounding themselves with bird of the feather.
    The beauty of being a skilled tradesman is the pleasure of voting with your feet.

    1. Yep, lots of these big companies soon get filled up with head nodding govt bureaucrat types. As soon as they get an HR dept they start self populating with woke do nothings.

      1. As soon as they get an HR dept they start self populating with woke do nothings.

        You just described much of academia.

        Worse is when they start cross-breeding. When I was at Armpit College, some useless bottom-feeding twit in Personnel finally decided to retire (how could we tell?). Rather than going off and collecting his pension, he went across the city to one of the universities and–you guessed it–signed on with its Personnel department as well. I’m sure he’s since retired from there, so he’d now be collecting 2 pensions.

    2. I had a unique skill set that allowed me to move where I wanted and operate out of my home. It’s very empowering.

      Being your own boss is nirvana.

      1. Tell me about it. Thirty years a One Man Company. I wore all the hats. The best part was screwing with the RevCan heads and my Professional Association.

    3. I worked for a company with such incompetent hr they didn’t deduct vacation time taken for two whole years. You’d send them your vacation form and it’d go in the garbage. When I quit they paid all the vacation time out. Just amazing.

  5. It reminds me of the mandatory “team-building” and “customer service” indoctrination–oops! “training”–I was required to endure while I taught at Armpit College.

    My department head ordered me to take it, so I showed up and played along with the silly game for a few days. Eventually, I walked out when I’d had enough and the “far silly taters” decided I needed to be punished for that. (Apparently, the comment was made that I didn’t “respect” teams or some such blather.) I was subsequently reported to my department head and the associate dean for my apparent misbehaviour.

    The thing is that I wasn’t the only one who thought the whole thing was horse puckey, and yet they spinelessly went along with it.

    And, no, I didn’t get a certificate when it was over.

  6. The best I ever encountered was a boss that decided she was going to help all the employees meet their ideal weight. She brought in a fitness counsellor and we all attended the mandatory sessions. At the beginning we all had to take our weights and set goals. Then they started marching the women up to the scales. In front of everyone.
    Such good times. I didn’t have to make any trouble that day.
    Amid the screaming it was decided the sessions were no longer mandatory.

  7. Our masters only encourage self-hatred in white people.

    This does not happen in China. Ever.

    The superiority of the Han tribe and their fitness to rule the world is accepted in Chinese institutions as self-evident. So is the necessity of China’s ethnic minorities to adopt Han culture, often on pain of death.

    Part of the goal of such nonsense is to minimize the fuss when the corporate insiders cash out and sell to a CCP/PLA front, and promotion to management becomes an impossible dream for anybody unable to speak Mandarin.

    1. In any country where the dominant ethnicity comprises 91.5%+ of the population, I would say that it behooves the ethnic minorities to adopt the majority culture.
      In contrast to the United States or Canada, with rare exceptions the ethnic minorities in China are not dispersed throughout China, but live among themselves in their own regions. The Uighurs and Tibetians form majorities within their own provinces. Other minorities mostly live in the mountainous regions in the southwest.
      In all the other provinces, which are the most densely populated provinces along the coast or the two major rivers, it is rare indeed to find someone who is not of Han ethnicity. Noticeably the Hui (Muslims not of Uighur ethnicity) are distributed throughout China. The Manchurians and Mongols mostly live in their ancestral land, but have become a small minority to the Han even there.
      For you to keep harping on the Han as though it were a repressive small majority is absurd. Han is what the Chinese call themselves, Chinese culture is Han culture. Throughout Chinese history the othr ethnicities I mentioned were the foreign enemies the Chinese (read Han) fought against.
      The Chicom in fact promotes native costumes and dances in the mountain tribes to promote tourism, both by the Han and foreigners. The Chicom suppression of Uighur and Tibetian is much more anti-religious than ethnic. That is, the Chicom suppresses all religions equally, be it Christian, Islamic, or (Tibetian) Buddhism, of Falun Gong. The American press may not carry much news of Christian suppression, mostly because it wishes the same thing were done here, and because the Christians are almost all Han, and there is no ethnic meme the press here loves so much.
      And Han is by no means one single group. People who call themselves Han are subdivided by region and dialect, some of which are basically not mutually intelligible with Mandarin, such as Cantonese. But all Cantonese speakers are Han. And not everyone in Guangdong speak Cantonese natively. My first dialect was yet a different dialect, but I am Han, by family legend descended from royalty long ago.
      “Promotion to management becomes an impossible dream for anybody unable to speak Mandarin”. Well, duh, Mandarin is the national language, promotion to management in America becomes an impossible dream for anybody unable to speak English. 80% of Han speak some form of Mandarin, according to the linguists, even though many also speak a native dialect. The thing is, there is no question that Mandarin is in fact the national language, in that no other dialect has the number of speakers to justify recognition as a second national language. Over 20% of Canada speaks French natively. No more than 6% of Han speak any of the local dialects natively.
      You may think that, say, all France speaks French natively. But that is not so. Several decades ago, actually a million people in Brittany spoke Breton, and there was a separatist movement based mostly on language. The number of speakers have declined drastically since then, due to the central government’s insisting only French be taught in Brittany schools. In France, promotion to management becomes an impossible dream for anybody unable to speak French.
      I wrote all these pretending to reply to someone with an interest in a serious discussion. While I realize I am really replying to a racist, what I wrote is really intended to enlighten someone who may be misled by your diatribe. Such as in different posts (perhaps under different names) you have separately called all Chinese women sows, and then quite inconsistently in other posts refer to some as trophy wives. There is just no way the terms “sows” and “trophy wives” can be applied to the same group of women.
      But speaking to a racist, there is nothing wrong with the Chinese being nationalistic about being Chinese, just as there is nothing wrong with Americans being nationalistic about being Americans. That is what a nation means. The Nordic countries got themselves into a mess of trouble precisely because they forgot about that. Where one draws the line is nationalistic is good as long as it limits itself to what happens within the nation’s borders, without hegemonic designs on the rest of the world. That was what was wrong with Germany, Japan, and Soviet Russia. And that is what is wrong with China under the Communists, and some Islamic countries, noticeably Iran and Saudi Arabia, now.

      1. P.S. For a sense of proportion, the most populous minority is the Zhuang. They constitute 1.3% of the Chinese population. They lived mostly in the mountains of Guangxi province, west of Guangdong province, some in the mountains of other nearby provinces. But the “standardized” Zhuang language is hardly universal. There are several mutually unintelligible dialects. Speakers of different dialects have to communicate in, ta da, Mandarin.
        Altogether, the ethnic groups identifiable as mountain dwellers in the southwest constitute about 6% of the population. This is comparable to the Canadian First Nation, with 4.4% of the population. The other 2.5% of so are ethnic groups that previously in history had their own countries: Manchurians, Mongols, Uighur and other Turkic countries in now Sinkiang, and Tibetians, and made war on the Chinese, i.e. Hans.

      2. Excellent overview of Chinese ethnicity and culture. From my experience the Chinese are a very racist culture. Walk any street away from Beijing, Shanghai, etc and you’ll hear people commenting on you…laowai. I’m ok with that. Their country, their culture, their business.

        1. I’d say the Chinese are very suspicious of outsiders. In Guangdong, they have equivalent names for people from other provinces. Try as the Communist may to eradicate it, Cantonese is still the lingua franca on the streets of Guangzhou, and the locals are suspicious of anyone speaking Cantonese with an accent.
          My father was Hakka, and the Cantonese considers Hakka no better than a “foreigner” from another province, even though our ancestral home is in Guangdong. (I lived in Guangzhou, nee Canton, from age three until the Communist occupation, and had forgotten my Hakka since five. No one knows I am not Cantonese if I don’t tell them.)
          Of course, people from other provinces call us Southern Savages. That was the name applied to non-Han people three thousand years ago. So suspicion of real foreigners would be par for the course.
          As I understand, other eastern Asian countries like Japan and Korea and no less insular. It is ironic, the BLM and Antifa have made the whole world focus on American race relations, but America is the most open and receptive culture, I believe, in the whole world. At least on the whole it has been my personal experience. I watch the UEFA Nations Cup ongoing right now. The players stand respectfully when the anthems of the competing countries are played. Then they are made to kneel for a minute for the BLM protest. That is truly ironic. I don’t think a black will find better acceptance, if he is truly productive and self reliant, anywhere in Europe than in the good old U.S. of A. Naomi Osaka, the half black tennis player, chooses to live in the U.S. rather than her native Japan, and I don’t say I blame her, but she takes the trouble to criticize U.S. race relations. It’s her choice to be here. Why doesn’t she criticize the race relations in Japan.

  8. She’s preaching to the already converted. A few frames show a big ‘Netroots Nation’ sign to the right side of the frame. Their website states: “Are you a new activist looking for next steps? A seasoned organizer looking for skills-building opportunities? “, followed by “3800 ATTENDEES – 150 SESSIONS – 400 SPEAKERS”. Some of their luminary speakers include: “Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and more.”

    So let’s see. That’s an average of fewer than 10 ‘attendees’ errr, suckers per speaker or 25 per indoctrination session. Not too scary, really. The only scary part is the level of bovine acceptance of racism and hatred by the privileged but not bright targets who will carry their blanket of guilt wherever they go.

  9. I quit getting invited to these festivals after the presenter at the first one painted himself into a rhetorical corner, with my help, didn’t take much help either.

  10. You wonder why when you send your beautiful daughter off for $100k and four years of a studies degree and she comes back as a swamp monster. (I stole that from Michael Malice).

    I find it crass she has her PayPal info on the flip chart to one side. Pretty sure someone paid for that sht show.

  11. Oops. Forgot to mention she’s also a (from her own website): “(she/ they) is a Black fat cultural producer, multidisciplinary artist, nonbinary shapeshifter, hood feminist, and data futurist”

    Two questions. How come she can refer to herself as fat, when I’d be taken out and figuratively, shot? And if capitalizing the “B” in black is applied to a descriptive quality, shouldn’t she really be a Fat Black Queer Queen?

  12. Corporations were under a lot of pressure to increase the number of women in upper management positions. They couldn’t do that in Sales because sales is the only way you grow the company. You couldn’t do that in Operations because you needed your company to keep functioning.

    So, large corporations started flooding their Marketing and HR departments with women to the point you hardly see men in those areas any more.

    The result? Within a few decades your company that sells razors to men is running #MeToo based ads that tell men they suck, or the HR department is running seminars that tell your own employees they are evil because of their skin color.

    1. It wasn’t just that.

      1. Women control about 80 percent of consumer spending in a typical advanced economy. So the incentive of the corporation is to please fashionably woke women who are the ones spending hubby’s money.

      That’s why ad campaigns portray women as goddesses and men as children and idiots. And that’s why they were under pressure to hire women whether they needed to or not.

      2. The nice thing about a publicly-traded limited-liability corporation is that your responsibility for its actions is limited to how much you paid for your shares.

      Generally, the people financing this rubbish are not the ones who will lose everything when it all ends in tears.

      They’ll be long since cashed out, living in Singapore with their trophy Chinese wives, and amusing themselves writing doorstoppers about China’s conquest of the planet—and how they saw it coming decades ago.

      1. SG: “That’s why ad campaigns portray women as goddesses and men as children and idiots.”
        Yes, my wife (who, unlike me, is not white) has often commented that if the roles were reversed and the woman was portrayed as an adolescent idiot (yes, I know I repeat myself) all hell would break loose, with a product boycott demanded. As for racism, I find most of it being evident in and from the Black community.

  13. Hitler and his crew based their decisions on different races not being equal. Interesting how the degraded races at that time are now accepting their logic.

  14. I wonder if Jabba the Hutt knows what his sister is doing nowadays?

    What puzzles me even more is that the wokesters think this will solve “systemic” racism. Having an ignorant tub of lard insult me because of the color of my skin merely reinforces my belief that if her sort aren’t happy in North America, there’s a whole continent of people with the same genetic markers they can move to.

    By now, plenty of studies have shown that these maoist self-criticism sessions:
    a) appeal only to self-hating whites, and they all suffer from personality disorders;
    b) reinforce the notion that diversity is the root of all evil in those who understand human nature; and
    c) make those sitting on the fence wonder why they’re being accused when they did nothing wrong. Given enough exposure to Shaniqua the Hutt, they’ll eventually join those mention in b) above.

  15. For training such as this, we have online training, mandatory. Get the cheat sheet, log in, blow through while your mind wanders elsewhere, print your certificate, back to work.

  16. Please, people, have ye no tact? It’s sooooo racist to infer association of things like cheeseburgers and chitlins with blacks!

    But, I can legitimately and truthfully state that in the mid-70’s, when I worked at a fast-food place similar to that with golden arches, the things most often ordered [90%+] by blacks (although they weren’t called that back then) were cheeseburgers, strawberry milkshakes, and fried chicken. None of the “b_g mac” clones, no fish sandwiches, no regular hamburgers, no chocolate shakes…

    Reasonable individuals may interpret this however they see fit. It’s not rumor or stereotyping, it’s statistics.

  17. That’s a woman?

    Remember folks, when they ask you about your unconscious racism ask them about their unconscious sexual attraction to children.
    Ask them about that loudly.
    If they want proof, tell them “You first.”

  18. I also suspect she’s likely an atheist.
    If my hunch is accurate, how would “survival of the fittest” impact her calculations?
    I’m twice her age, with lots of arthritis, and I bet I could out run her in a foot race.

  19. Why would any self-respecting human sit and listen to this? I would have noisily got up from my seat and walked slowly and calmly for the door. Oh, I would have taken the plate of donuts with me and listened to the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the corridor.

    1. I’ve walked out of meetings for a lot less.
      Give them the Cyrus “I’ve got work to do” line and leave.

    1. Not true, false parallel. None treated blacks better than whites did, none treated blacks worse than other blacks did.

  20. Why should she seek psychological help?

    She’s found a great money-making scam! It’s the people hiring her who need the help.

    1. She’s found a great money-making scam!

      Yup. The people who ran the “team-building” session I mentioned in my earlier posting were fellow employees at Armpit College. Soon after that, they quit, formed their own company, and began peddling their brand of reptile lubricant to other employers and institutions, probably making more money that way.

      There’s gold in them thar sheeple.

      1. Satan’s second greatest lie is putting the word ‘human’ in human resources.

        This video doesn’t surprise me. I’m sure someone got a bonus for that delightful performance.

        Worse than this awful annoying pointless crap in this video (which you can mostly daydream through and should probably keep your eyes closed for obvious reasons) is the seemingly endless pain of employee performance management that gets inflicted on supervisors and staff alike to shave 1/4 point on a raise or reduce head count.

        HR has a couple of critical functions, payroll (really an accounting function), benefits, compensation, and recruitment. The rest of their job is simply increasing their own footprint and organizational power.

        I don’t know how many people, young and old, that I’ve worked with, who naively believe HR is on their side. At their most performant HR is about business liability management. Those that trust them invariably get screwed over when they trust HR like they trust Santa. HR will invariably side with their organizational power regardless of simple concepts like right and wrong.

        1. Those that trust them invariably get screwed over when they trust HR like they trust Santa. HR will invariably side with their organizational power regardless of simple concepts like right and wrong.

          At Armpit College, the personnel department took care of the accounting functions as you mentioned. More importantly, though, it existed to defend the administrators from the staff. (I refuse to call it “human resources” as a resource is something to extract and exploit.)

          While I was teaching there, I had a long-running dispute with my department administrators, something which they started and were only too willing to continue. During the course of the matter, I found out that our personnel department was working with them against me, though I thought that it, not being a direct party, would have remained neutral and made sure that proper procedures, regulations, and protocols would have been followed. Silly me…..

          Similarly, I also found out that our staff association always wasn’t on my side, either, though that depended on who was in charge. For most of my time at AC, the president was merely a lap dog of the institution’s senior administration and did little to defend us, particularly when it came to negotiating a new contract. So, if an individual staff member ever got into trouble, they may as well have been on their own.

          1. Your experience is in education, mine is in business.

            The one thing I learned, the hard way, and repeatedly (I’m slow eh), is that when it comes down to it, HR is the one swinging the lead pipe. That pipe, in a velvet bag, was handed to them by your smarmy staff association. I ‘enjoyed’ the smiling douche cruelty of an endless stream of incompetent, self-serving superiors.

            I have strongly counseled against ridiculous, business insane, decisions only to lectured, scolded, or pushed aside. Invariably those offended at my council receive their golden handshakes on the way out the door as the business is sold or fails.

            I’ve done well in my career because I’ve always worked hard, understood risk, and acted with integrity but there are fewer and fewer places that value that. They would much rather have the bare minimum performing, easily managed human pablum rather than complex top performers. Try not to be over 50, the bigotry against grey hair among the millenials is breathtaking.

            Petty apparatchiks surround us and they don’t want to be threatened.

          2. I spent a few years in industry as well. Fortunately, I avoided much of that personnel crapola by the time I started at Armpit College.

            I know what you’re referring to concerning incompetent managers. I saw that when I started with a large oil company right after I got my B. Sc. The boss who fired me from that outfit was a corporate lap dog, taking few risks, showing no imagination whatsoever, and always being a toady to his superiors in hope of getting another promotion.

            Unfortunately, the so-called “high tech” business isn’t much different. I worked for a number of them. Typically, I advised my superiors about potential problems and difficulties, providing what I considered to be solutions. Typically, I was told I didn’t know what I was talking about and that I should shut my yap.

            Half of them went out of business after they gave me the heave-ho. The other half eventually ended up on the skids, only to be bought by someone else.

            I’m out of all that now and I, frankly, don’t care any more.

        2. The HR life form always says it is here for “you”.
          Then you go to the HR life form with a work issue. If you haven’t realised the previous line was total BS before, you would figure it out then.
          I learned to be a complete a$$hole when dealing with HR.

          1. Often, I found at Armpit College that the personnel department was openly resentful of me for having the audacity to earn more than one degree.

            After I finished my second master’s, I made a photocopy of it and walked over to the office so that it would put it in my file. The first comment from the official there was “Why are you giving us this? You won’t get paid any more for it.” Gee, thanks. I spend a few years adding to my education and you crap all over me for providing proof of it.

            The ironic thing was that a year or two earlier, there was a major scandal concerning a department head who had fabricated credentials. And there I thought that the place would be grateful that I obtained another degree and could prove it fair, square, and legal.

            I had a similar reaction when I finished my doctorate. Nice place, huh?

  21. What a hateful creature, so it’s okay for her to be a hateful nasty bigot- big corporations but forcing your staff to sit in on such abuse is seen as woke. I’d sue you into the 1920s for bigotry and abuse and harassment. Also when has it become acceptable for a morbidly obese woman to run around in her VS under clothing as professional attire? Face it her rolls of fat make her look vulgar and in need of serious treatment for obesity.

    1. surely this should have not got past the social media algorithms of facebook twitter et al, and is decidedly and definitely against American law

  22. “(she/they), a Black fat cultural producer, multidisciplinary artist, nonbinary shapeshifter, hood feminist, and data futurist based in Atlanta, Georgia, with roots in Richmond, Virginia.”

    Somehow, that reminds me of Mel Brooks’s character:

  23. Woods Tent and Awning. 8×10, 10×12, 14×16, 16×18 canvas. For all your temporary housing needs, anywhere in the world.

  24. I’d love to see her at a church event; a turkey supper. Just to see if she loads her plate with white or dark!!

  25. If I remember my EEOC Management training I took in more than one US company this is totally against it. Any company having this is up to lawsuits. If I am forced to take such a “course” a will record it and then get a lawyer as it is obvious the company does not treat everyone equal.

  26. Excellent overview of Chinese ethnicity and culture. From my experience the Chinese are a very racist culture. Walk any street away from Beijing, Shanghai, etc and you’ll hear people commenting on you…laowai. I’m ok with that. Their country, their culture, their business.

    1. Oops. This was supposed to post as a reply to OldBruin post on Chinese culture. See above.
