Another development has surfaced, showing that embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is a political actor. An exclusive report from Breitbart News indicates how the prosecutor, who is currently trying to convict former President Donald Trump for election interference, employed mandatory racial sensitivity training sessions that pushed politically leftist views on issues pertaining to race.

The sessions, led by Willis, compelled participants to associate skin color and ethnicity with moral valuations, which has raised criticism for its skewed approach to judging white and black individuals. Sources told Breitbart News that employees were forced to categorize “Black” or “White” skin as inherently “Good” or “Bad.”

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis subjected her employees to mandatory race training, forcing the entire office to rate “Black” or “White” skin colors as either “Good” or “Bad,” according to training slides and video exclusively obtained by Breitbart News.

“If you didn’t participate in the quiz, you got fired,” a source exclusively told Breitbart News about Willis’s policy.

Sources who shared the race training with Breitbart News wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution due to their direct knowledge of the “corrupt” and “hostile work environment” inside the District Attorney’s Office.

Sources described the race training as a directive straight from Willis, “[who] injected racism [into the office] from the second she got hired.” Willis won election in 2020 and is up for reelection this November. In 2021, she began probing former President Donald Trump.

Dubbed an “implicit bias test,” a Harvard website generated the “diversity, equity, and inclusion” slides that made some sources feel ashamed of being white employees.

The implicit bias test was described as an eight-hour marathon conducted by “a former member of Obama’s White House,” which further underscores the political nature of the training sessions.

The training involved a slide test in which participants had to label images of white people as “bad” in order to move forward in the exercise. “Until you said that the ‘White’ guy was ‘Bad’ it wouldn’t let you move on,” a source explained to Breitbart News.

Willis’ training also featured a race training video that ranked the value of judges based on their race and partisan leanings. Here is a transcript that the news outlet provided of the video.

You’re set to appear before a judge, but you don’t know who. Your best bet would be for the judge to be black and and male. Black male judges sentenced black defendants ten percent less time in lockup than whites, according to 12 years of criminal data compiled by court clerks.

But if that black male judge is Republican, that thinking shifts. No groups sentenced blacks to more time, compared to whites, than black Republican judges. Sixty-nine percent more time, to be exact.

Black female judges are the fairest. They sentence blacks and whites to the same amount of time. But black female judges are also the harshest. They send away both black and whites for far longer than any other member group.

But what are the odds of getting a black judge? They’re not in your favor. Only 28 of the more than 450 judges who preside over serious criminal cases in Florida are black. So the judge would probably be white. If it’s a white male, you can expect 20 percent more time in lockup than a white defendant. If it’s a white female, you can expect ten percent more time.

Politics also come into play. Republican judges sentence blacks 21 percent more time in lockup than whites. Democratic judges sentence blacks to 70 percent more time.

The court is currently evaluating Willis after it was revealed that she had a romantic relationship with one of the prosecutors she hired to prosecute Trump. She participated in a hearing earlier this month that could result in her being disqualified from trying the case. While she has not denied the affair, she has accused those of bringing up the subject of being motivated by racism.

The district attorney’s flawed DEI training won’t play into whether she remains on the case. But it does highlight how she approaches her position. This revelation further indicates that Willis is more of a political actor than a government official set on seeking justice, which explains the pending prosecution of Trump.
