The US Department of Agriculture has sparked outcry by paying $100,000 a year to a speaker who used compulsory diversity training to teach employees that “the Pilgrims were illegal aliens” and that “minorities” should be called “emerging majorities”.
Conservative pressure group Judicial Watch made a FOI request to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), demanding details of a diversity program the federal agency has been conducting in the wake of a campaign for “cultural transformation” and “a new era of Civil Rights” called for by Thomas Vilsack, the Secretary of Agriculture, two years ago.
Judicial Watch was given an internal use-only video of a typical must-attend seminar for staff, conducted by travelling diversity speaker Dr. Samuel Betances, who calls himself “a biracial, bicultural, and bilingual citizen of the world” on his website, and asks his audience to “harness the rainbow”.
“Say, ‘Thank you, black folks!’” declares Betances, in one call-and-response segment. The audience repeats his words.
“I want you to say that ‘America was founded by outsiders. Say that. Or today’s insiders’, who get very nervous about today’s outsiders.”
“I want you to say ‘The Pilgrims were illegal aliens,’” declares Betances, cupping his hand to his ear.
Those present chant every word after the speaker.
