The executives at Lockheed Martin, who are primarily older white men, participated in numerous exercises.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first exercises was a word association game where the executives heard the phrase \u201cwhite men\u201d and then were asked to say the first word that came to their mind.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the participants responded with serious answers, such as \u201cKKK,\u201d \u201cAryan Nation,\u201d \u201cprivileged\u201d and \u201cracist.\u201d While other responses included \u201cNASCAR,\u201d \u201ccan\u2019t jump\u201d and \u201cgolf\u201d which seemed to poke fun at stereotypes that are common to white men.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2414074\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2414074\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2414074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/martin-1-655x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"LONDON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 10: The Lockheed Martin stand at the Defence and Security Exhibition on September 10, 2013 in London, England.

(Photo by Peter Macdiarmid\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>A later part of the seminar was for the executives to repeat internalized statements of white male privilege, which are otherwise thoughts white men have without realizing they are thinking them. The executives were then asked to repeat internalized statements of heterosexual male privilege.<\/p>\n<p>The overall message of the \u201cWhite Men\u2019s Caucus\u201d was to have the straight white men recognize their tendencies of valuing success and self-discipline above all else. The \u201cWhite Men\u2019s Caucus\u201d is meant to teach participants to not force those aspects of their culture onto others who don\u2019t value individualism, hard work and golf as much as they do.<\/p>\n<p>Many people are now claiming that Lockheed Martin\u2019s decision to make executives take part in this critical race theory based training is part of a greater movement to implement CRT in the U.S. military and defense industry alike. On that same note, people are also wondering how the mainstream media would react if this seminar was instead based on anyone other than straight white men.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/anti-police-atlanta-politician-has-car-stolen-right-in-front-of-him\/\">Anti-Police Atlanta Politician Has Car Stolen Right In Front Of Him<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A sign for Lockheed Martin is seen December 4, 2003 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
