Shocking video footage of what was supposed to be a “secret session” of “diversity training” for Federal U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) employees, was exposed by watchdog group Judicial Watch today.
In the videos – which the USDA fought to keep secret from the public – a foreign-accented Hispanic “diversity instructor” tells the employees – and makes them repeat – that “the Pilgrims were illegal aliens” and mocked “White men” for racism and sexism.
The consultant behind the revolting footage, Samuel Betances – who was reportedly paid $200,000 for the sessions - a diversity instructor with Souder, Betances and Associates — who says in the video that he got his diversity training start under former Chicago Mayor Richard Daley. In the clips, Betances instructed USDA employees on the proper thinking about diversity and minorities — or, as he called them, “emerging majorities.”
Betances has been honored by the radical ethnic pressure group National Council of La Raza (NCLR), which funded the racist hate group MEChA, whose slogan was “Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada” (“For The Race everything, for those outside The Race nothing“).
And anyone familiar with the radical tactics of La Raza should not be shocked by the similarly racial divisiveness of Betances’ videos.
The video clips were made public Thursday evening by Judicial Watch, which obtained them through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request made on May 18, 2012. The Obama Administration fought the request for nearly 8 months, and you can see why.
Highlights:
“I want you to say that America was founded by outsiders – say that – who are today’s insiders, who are very nervous about today’s outsiders,”….I want you to say, ‘The Pilgrims were illegal aliens,’” he continued. “Say, ‘The Pilgrims never gave their passports to the Indians.’”
Throughout the session, Betances had the employees shout “Bam!” to reinforce his points.
Watch:
Betances also explained in another clip Judicial Watch highlighted — from the more than three-and-a-half hour video — that he does not like the word “minorities.”
“By the way, I don’t like the word ‘minorities.’ How about ‘emerging majorities’?” he said.
Watch:
Betances poked fun at “white males.”
“White males founded the USDA! Say ‘Thank you, white males.’ I know it got stuck, some of you couldn’t get it out,” he said to laughter. “I understand. Let’s try that again. Go ahead.”
“Notice I’m not saying, ‘Thank you for slavery, or sexism, or what happened to the indigenous Native American folks.’ I’m saying thank you for what? I’m saying, ‘Thank you for establishing the agency in which those of us that are not white males seek to play a larger role,’” Betances said in a faux giddy manner, before explaining that unity begins with gratitude, before turning to grievances. “We’ve got grievances!,” he said. “This institution, like all federal institutions, have not been fair….We’ve got grievances.”
Watch:
Lovely. Your tax dollars at work dividing America. Viva La Raza!
Our government which is bought and paid for by the wealthy is going along with theplan to break the already very weakened back of our working class and illegal workers are one way to destroy us. Since our government won’t protect us and enforce our laws (unless it’s to put us in jail to keep the prisone industrial complex economy humming along) it is well past the time for us to take matters in our own hands and enforce our laws and send the illegls back where they came from. At the very least, speak out and let them know they are not welcome. Remember: Hiring illegal workers helps to create an excess pool of labor, suppresses wages, allows poor working conditions and a fear based job environment, enriches the illegal worker’s country of origin, diminishes our economy and our standard of living, makes the rich richer, the poor poorer, and increases the gap between the 99% and the 1%. Don’t believe they are only doing the jobs we won’t do. We are Americans. We will do any job.
