Red Hat CTO Chris Wright knows a thing or two about adaptability.

New IBM Leaks: An anti-White Pledge & "Ally" Badges
The leaks from within IBM (and IBM subsidiaries, like Red Hat) continue to roll in.
In the latest round of leaks we'll be looking at IBM's "Emb(race)" program, pledges to racist ideas, "Ally Badges", and how IBM Executive compensation is directly tied to the success of all of these programs.
It is absolutely wild.
We begin with the IBM "Emb(race) Pledge", which every IBM employee is encouraged to take.
[...]
According to the 2020 IBM Diversity and Inclusion Report, IBM has created a system of "Badges" to showcase who has taken the pledge and become a good "Ally".
[...]
According to one whistleblower, speaking to The Lunduke Journal on the condition of anonymity, these actions were partly mandatory, and party optional -- but, if you wanted a promotion, they were "effectively mandatory".
This is supported by previous IBM leaks, in which IBM management has made clear that "Diversity Training" is mandatory for all employees.
[...]
That's right. IBM Executive pay is based, in part, on how effectively IBM employees embrace diversity training, diversity hiring, and programs like "Emb(race)".

The IBM / Red Hat Leaks: What we've learned so far
New IBM & Red Hat leaks have been coming in on an almost daily basis. The sheer quantity of material -- and the things we have learned from them -- can all be a bit overwhelming.
[...]
"Diversity" training is mandatory within IBM.
[...]
Red Hat is aware of the leaks, as of Dec 13th, and was not prepared to make a public statement at that point.

Found on an IBM Men's Room door...
IBM employees were encouraged to go "Offline" and "Unplug" in support of "Black Lives". Effectively a moment of silence.
Ironically, people were encouraged to post online messages -- one specific message in particular -- to declare that they were, in fact, not online. Resulting in a massive flood of messages being posted.
[...]
A few variations were posted... but mostly it was that exact same message -- all flooding into IBM's Slack channels, and email inboxes (as people set this as their "Out of Office" auto-reply).
[...]
1,210 posted this message to IBM's Slack server (or set it as their Out of Office email), to be precise.
That's a whole heck of a lot of copypasta.
We know that number thanks to Drew Valentine, IBM's Vice President of People and Culture. Which, apparently, is a real job.

IBM Leak: IBM's "Word Usage Council" hunts for engineering words to be offended by
Note that the original poster simply heard the words for a color and -- despite not being able to think of a reason why they would be objectionable -- thought he should reach out to see if anyone else can help him find a way to find it obectionable.
The responses? "Using colors as identifiers can be unclear epecially for people who are color blind" and "I can readily see them being problematic."
Do either of these colors have anything to do with skin color? Nope. Having colored "zones" within networking is pretty gosh darned common. Because it makes visualizing things easy.

New Leaks from IBM: Mandatory "Diversity & Inclusion" training, "White Fragility" Book Club
We all know -- thanks to the leaked "Allyship Kickoff" presentation -- that there has been a significant racist, anti-White movement within Red Hat (and parent company, IBM) over the last few years. One which has had at least some level of support from Red Hat & IBM leadership.
But how pervasive are those anti-White views throughout IBM?
Now, thanks to new material -- leaked to The Lunduke Journal via brave whistleblowers -- we are learning that not only has "Diversity & Inclusion" training been forced upon employees... but IBM hosted book clubs for such racist works as "White Fragility", by Robin DiAngelo.

IBM / Red Hat whistleblower leaks internal, racist, anti-White presentation.
The presentation also spends significant time discussing the idea that what "White" people have... is gained primarily (or entirely) through theft, and "White erasure", of "Black" accomplishments.
Black people have an achievement. White people steal it and "erase" the Black people. This is repeated over and over again.
