German taxpayer-funded NGO “Black Sheep,” Schwarze Schafe in German, is currently offering a six-month intensive seminar designed specifically for White individuals to examine their “alleged privileges,” which is modeled after the concept of “Critical Whiteness.” The organization, which identifies as a “post-migrant education initiative,” receives significant taxpayer funding from Germans and operates a reporting center for anti-Muslim racism.
As first reported by journalist Annabel Schunke in the Weltwoche, the seminar—dubbed the “Ally Lab”—runs from March to September with a participation fee of €2,290 euros.
The course is held both online and on-site in Hanover. According to the group’s Instagram, the program was developed following “numerous inquiries from people without their own experiences of racism.” Prospective students must go through a selective process, submitting both a “letter of motivation and a resume.”
The curriculum is built around the concept of “Critical Whiteness,” a framework suggesting that white people in majority-white societies enjoy unearned advantages because they are viewed as the societal norm.
The seminar aims to instill a “racially critical practice” in both private and professional spheres. It seeks to reflect how “power and social norms shape our actions and thinking.” Graduates of the “Ally Lab” are intended to be equipped to “subsequently conduct such courses themselves.”

— Remix News & Views (@RMXnews) November 16, 2025“Black Sheep” extends its ideological training to various sectors of society, including early childhood education and law enforcement. On their website, the NGO argues that “even the smallest people experience a world in which differences are evaluated.” Their training for daycare professionals focuses on how “criticism of racism and empowerment can be anchored in early education” in a way that is “child-friendly, practical and heartfelt.”
The Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency has recommended their formats for school classes, which are described as “empowering” and “fun.” Additionally, the NGO provides training for the “police, administration and other authorities.”
The organization’s projects are heavily intertwined with government support, which focuses on a variety of topics, including anti-Muslim racism. The reporting center “Report! Lower Saxony,” which is involved in censorship in Germany, is a joint venture between the NGO “Claim” and “Black Sheep,” which is supported by the German Federal Ministry of the Interior and the German Islam Conference.
According to Schunke, the counseling center Amina, which also belongs to Black Sheep, is supported by the city of Hanover.
Another of the NGO’s projects, the exhibition “Afrotopia NDS. Black Lifeworlds Lower Saxony,“ is funded by the Ministry for Family Affairs through the program “Living Democracy.“ According to its own statements, the exhibition aims to make the reality of life for black people in Lower Saxony visible.
The initiative also offers long-term consulting for companies to help them “discuss experiences with racism and other inequalities, change perspectives and develop possible courses of action.”
Critical Race Theory growing in popularity in Germany
Critical Race Theory, which “Critical Whiteness” is a part of and was first popularized in the United States, comes in various permutations but is overall defined as an anti-White hate theory, which posits that White societies are inherently racist and systematically oppress minorities.
The theory arose in the U.S. despite programs like affirmative action, trillions of dollars funneled into inner cities to improve minority outcomes in education over the last decades, programs from universities and corporations to recruit minorities to the exclusion of Whites through Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) schemes, government discrimination against Whites, and even preference in medical care for minorities over Whites.
In the U.S., books like “Not My Idea” have been promoted in classrooms, which explains to readers that “whiteness” is what drives White people to make “deals with the devil” for “stolen land, stolen riches and special favors.”
The book also claims White people get to “mess endlessly with the lives of your friends, neighbors, loved ones, and all fellow humans of color for the purpose of profit.”
In Cupertino, California, third graders were required to rank themselves on a scale of “power and privilege” based on their race, and schools in Buffalo, New York, taught students that “all white people” perpetuate “systemic racism.” The program also required kindergarteners to view a video of dead Black children with the warning that “racist police and state-sanctioned violence” were responsible.
The education state department in Arizona also distributed “equity toolkits” to schools, claiming that infants as young as 3 months old begin to show signs of racism and “remain strongly biased in favor of whiteness” by the time they turn 5 years of age.
This racist theory and those like it caught on with Germans in recent years and have progressively spread through the school system, including in Berlin.
