This is the FIRST and probably the LAST pro-White thing that Trump has ever done ...
White House CANCELS racial sensitivity training for all federal employees because it is 'un-American propaganda': Trump blasts classes on 'critical race theory' and 'white privilege' as a 'sickness in our country' * President Trump has demanded federal agencies identify training sessions on 'critical race theory' so that they can stop being subsidized by the taxpayer
* The issue came via a memo released by the White House Office of Management and Budget on Friday
* Critical race theory specialists argue that all people are inherently racist and that U.S. government institutions privilege white people
* Trump has called such teachings 'a sickness that cannot be allowed to continue'
* One lecturer, Howard Ross, who reportedly 'billed the feds more than $5 million for training since 2006'
* He is described as a 'seminal thought leader on identifying and addressing unconscious bias'
* Trump's demand comes following months of Black Lives Matter protests that have led to a racial reckoning in the United States

Excerpt: Critical race theory asserts that 'institutions are inherently racist and that race itself... is a socially constructed concept that is used by white people to further their economic and political interests at the expense of people of color' .... The theory - which asserts that all people are racist and that all social interactions are underpinned by race - is currently in vogue in academia, and private companies and government agencies have hired specialists to teach their employees how to dismantle 'white privilege' and actively become anti-racist.

At the demand of President Trump, the Office of Management and Budget now wants to stop such 'experts' from having any influence on those working in federal institutions.
OMB Director Russel Vought writes in the memo: 'Employees across the Executive Branch have been required to attend training where they are told that "virtually all White people contribute to racism" or where they are required to say that they "benefit from racism"'.
He continues: 'These types of "trainings" not only run counter to the fundamental beliefs for which our Nation has stood since its inception, but they also engender division and resentment within the Federal workforce.'
Vought subsequently states: 'The President has directed me to ensure that federal agencies cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund these divisive, un-American propaganda training sessions.'
The memo then asks agencies to 'identify all contracts or other agency spending related to any training on critical race theory/ "white privilege", or any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either (1) that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or (2) that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil. '
It concludes: 'The President has a proven track record of standing for those whose voice has long been ignored and who have failed to benefit from all our country has to offer, and he intends to continue to support all Americans, regardless of race, religion, or creed.'
The memo comes after a New York Post report in July revealed that 'a private diversity-consulting firm conducted a training titled "Difficult Conversations About Race in Troubling Times" for several federal agencies.'
White employees at the Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the National Credit Union Administration and the Office of the Comptroller were allegedly asked 'to pledge "allyship" amid the George Floyd Tragedy'.
According to the publication, the training also asserted that 'federal employees must "struggle to own their racism" and allow safe spaces where black employees can be "seen in their pain"'.
The training was created by Howard Ross, who has allegedly 'billed the feds more than $5 million for training since 2006'.
