The Allyship Comandments

Since the embed is broken...
"BREAKING: OMG obtained an internal document from
@IBM‘s RedHat that reads like a religious text: The "Allyship Commandments" are 10 race-based rules employees must observe.One commandment states “only white people can be racist”
Another states, “Accepts that WHITE people are responsible for dismantling racism"
From a different section: “Whiteness constructs the game, hides the rules, then rigs the game, over and over again.”

That sort of document inevitably gets dismissed by the left, as a meaningless aberration. They'll grant it exists, they'll grant people believe it, but somehow the context in which it exists and in which people believe it, is so marginal that it's meaningless. Similar to how they dismiss all anecdotes about campus wokeness as meaningless kids being kids. Then we see all those "meaningless aberrations" manifest themselves in the response to Oct 7. Not so meaningless after all, and it goes all the way through the faculty and administration. Which is exactly what the right side of the culture war had been saying the whole time, only to be giggled at relentlessly by the mainstream lefties over the right's obsession with an imaginary culture war.

Is Allyship a company? Did an internet search but nothing really out there.

No, the company is IBM. Allyship is referring to ciswhite people that are “allies” with the poor and downtrodden.

@George-K said in The Allyship Comandments:
Allyship is about listening and not monopolizing the conversation..
Sit down and shut up.
It’s about awareness and action. It’s using privilege to be a powerful voice alongside an underrepresented community.
Do what we say.
It’s constant education. It’s accountability
Learn or suffer the consequences.

IBM is just another large institution with no single person at the helm that feels personally connected to the values. The values overtake the institution, and there's enough money to absorb a large number of useless people who exist only to be an expression of those values.
