Lockheed Martin Awarded Bonuses Based on Race, According to Report

If the U.S. is going to maintain its military edge in the 21st century it can’t rely on defense contractors that prioritize DEI over building the best warfighting tools.

A report recently released by conservative journalist Christopher Rufo and co-author Ryan Thorpe alleges that defense contractor Lockheed Martin’s executives “were so committed to DEI policies that they awarded some year-end bonuses based on employees’ skin color, rather than performance—in open violation of civil rights law.”

“As we have previously reported, after the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, Lockheed adopted radical DEI policies and, in one instance, required white men in leadership positions to attend a racial reeducation program and atone for their ‘white male privilege,’” Rufo and Thorpe wrote.

This is in reference to Rufo’s reporting from 2021 where he highlighted how Lockheed Martin was hosting conferences for executives to deconstruct their “white male privilege” and generally doing all in their power not to miss out on all the absurdities of the Great Awokening.

It wasn’t just conferences and internal corporate indoctrination according to Rufo and Thorpe’s reporting. They wrote that in December 2022 a person who worked for Lockheed Martin was preparing the “aeronautics division’s year-end bonuses.” (Read more from “Lockheed Martin Awarded Bonuses Based on Race, According to Report” HERE)
