Time to show your spots again, Trumpists. . .
President Trump is moving to revamp federal agencies’ racial sensitivity trainings, casting some of them “divisive” and “un-American,” according to a memo by the White House Office of Management and Budget. In the two-page memo, OMB Director Russell Vought says Trump has asked him to prevent federal agencies from spending millions in taxpayer dollars on these training sessions. Vought says OMB will instruct federal agencies to come up with a list of all contracts related to training sessions involving “white privilege” or “critical race theory,” and do everything possible within the law to cancel those contracts, the memo states. The memo, released on Friday, also tells all federal agencies to identify and if possible cancel contracts that involve teaching that America is an “inherently racist or evil country.”
“The President has directed me to ensure that federal agencies cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund these divisive, un-American propaganda training sessions,” the memo states. Vought writes in the memo that “it has come to the President’s attention that Executive Branch agencies have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to date ‘training’ government workers to believe divisive, anti-American propaganda.” He then refers to a press report that says federal employees “have been required to attend trainings where they are told that ‘virtually all White people contribute to racism’ or where they are required to say that they ‘benefit from racism.’" It could not immediately be learned what training sessions Vought was referring to in the memo. Recent Fox News segments have heavily criticized “diversity and inclusion” efforts in the federal government started under the Obama administration.

That's right folks. You're a divisive un-American person if you tell people that racism is bad. If you talk about racism, you are victimizing Trumpists.
Think about that. That's the pitch. Talk about racism and why it's bad, and you victimize Trumpists; people "without a racist bone in my body", no doubt, but who also look around the bar and think those [slur] wouldn't be allowed in here a few decades ago.
The actual memo:

The one true statement follows. "These types of 'trainings' not only run counter to the fundamental beliefs for which our Nation has stood since its inception." True. That's why we had the 3/5ths compromise and the electoral college (no, don't believe the lies about how it was only about protecting low-pop states. It was about protecting the power of states that were low-pop because slaves were not considered human beings).
That's why we had the civil war. That's why we had Jim Crow and segregation. That's why people act like every single person protesting the on-camera murder of a black man whose neck was knelt upon for 3 minutes after he went limp is guilty of the crimes of criminal elements that use protests to create havoc, be they white supremacists seeking to frame the left, or hard left criminals who think their crimes are OK because they were committed for a cause.
Need we wonder why Trumpists only made a quarter-assed nod to condemning the murder, then immediately started attacking all protesters? Nah. They just wanted their smears and slurs to gain the appearance of credibility. See also when one of them puts their lean as "very liberal" and proceeds to always rant about "leftists".
He's going all-in on the racist white-supremacist ass-kissing.
"The President, and his Administration, are fully committed to the fair and equal treatment of individuals in the United States."

Yeah, that's why you hate trainings saying exactly that. Because you're treating white people unequally if you tell them not to be racist. It's not fair. Their freedoms!
