Now, the dean of the medical faculty has said he 'repudiates this language'
Johns Hopkins' medical faculty dean has apologized to staff after a diversity, equity, and inclusion officer sent a woke hit list email labeling all white people, Christians, men and English-speakers as 'privileged'.
The letter, first posted on Twitter by End Wokeness, was written by Chief Diversity Officer Sherita Hill Golden, and was part of the 'monthly diversity digest'.
It caused commotion and outrage online - forcing the institution to apologize.

Its a good thing she has black privilege because if she were white, that white privilege likely would have gotten her fired.
-
Just like the Harvard president, these people need to be investigated, hounded, and driven out of their jobs, which are actually ill gotten gains
-
This bullshit is getting tedious.
People who are likely only marginally qualified for their positions hounding out the competent on the basis of race, sexual orientation, etc. is just the opposite of tolerance.
If all that crap 'doesn't matter', then lets get rid of the checkboxes, statistics, and quotas and let the most qualified get the job.
-
An apology without sacking the racist is a slap in the face, and an indication that there are more slaps on the way.
-
Still trying to find what advantage my white Christian "privilege" has provided.
I once applied for a job and was pleased to receive a phone call from the company - until I was told that although they thought I was well qualified and they'd like to hire me, they really need to go with a black person.
-
This crap is a much bigger deal than people realize. It is the basic transformation of what this country was all about.
Opportunities were based on merit and little else. You could come from anywhere and succeed with effort. Now it has morphed into the rest of the world's tribes, cast, wealth, religion, skin color, sexual preferences, etc.
That really is a fundamental change to the country. It will destroy it if it continues. Innovation comes from intelligence and hard work not much else. Innovation is what makes us all wealthier.

It’s a fast path to mediocrity and decline

Exactly the change (and ultimate destruction) Obama was aiming for.

Perhaps the most ironic thing about the woke types nattering on about "white privilege" is that the original meaning of "privilege" was "private law": a group not subject to the same laws as the rest of society had privilege (for example, clergy in medieval Europe). The same folk claim that holding blacks to the same standards as everyone else is "racist", so they should have their own rules, i.e. privilege, in the original sense in things like college admissions, assignment of grades in academic settings, hiring practices, the way prosecutions for crimes are handled (don't bother in a lot of blue cities)...
White privilege was a thing back in the Jim Crow era, but now, black privilege is quite real, especially in places that have embraced "DEI".

The boring, white, middle-class, Christian people are the ones paying the taxes, following the rules, having the kids and actually raising them, funding city services, funding welfare programs, building businesses, hiring workers, and generally keeping society alive right now.

Makes me think of Sumner’s speech in 1883:
“Such is the Forgotten Man. He works, he votes, generally he prays-- but he always pays--yes, above all, he pays. He does not want an office; his name never gets into the newspaper except when he gets married or dies. He keeps production going on. He contributes to the strength of parties. He is flattered before election. He is strongly patriotic. He is wanted, whenever, in his little circle, there is work to be done or counsel to be given. He may grumble some occasionally to his wife and family, but he does not frequent the grocery or talk politics at the tavern. Consequently, he is forgotten. He is a commonplace man. He gives no trouble. He excites no admiration. He is not in any way a hero (like a popular orator); or a problem (like tramps and outcasts); nor notorious (like criminals); nor an object of sentiment (like the poor and weak); nor a burden (like paupers and loafers); nor an object out of which social capital may be made (like the beneficiaries of church and state charities); nor an object for charitable aid and protection (like animals treated with cruelty); nor the object of a job (like the ignorant and illiterate); nor one over whom sentimental economists and statesmen can parade their fine sentiments (like inefficient workmen and shiftless artisans). Therefore, he is forgotten. All the burdens fall on him, or on her, for it is time to remember that the Forgotten Man is not seldom a woman.”

Future Headline: John Hopkins has trouble recruiting qualified staff.
I weep not for failing institutions. They prioritize Nonsense above their mission; the Nonsense becomes their mission. The damage is self-inflicted.
As a Gen-X slacker heterosexual white Christian male deplorable of Western European descent (the villain), I feel no obligation to institutions that have villified me over the past 30 years. Let them fail, implode, and burn.

Speaking of how wokeness has permeated the medical field, check out this Twitter commentary from a guy who is an M.D.:
@doc_gero
I sit on a lot of hospital & system committees these days, & even co-chair one of them. As a white, straight, middle aged male I play my cards very close to my chest & typically play the role of quiet, tireless workhorse, and, when it’s called for, facilitator & consensus-builder. It’s something I do well.
This allows me a lot of leeway to sit back and surreptitiously observe contemporary office politics as they exist in typical large US medical systems today.
Some observations:
Medicine these days seems currently utterly awash in women, & of those women it’s overwhelmingly openly liberal white women (AWFLs I’ve heard them called).
They are typically quite fearlessly vocal about their leftist politics, ostentatiously sign their emails with practically extraneous but politically significant pronouns & BLM affinity statements, & increasingly enjoy making snide side comments about “Trump” at office meetings whenever they feel they can get away with it.
These women will also be the first to claim “harm” & also comically claim “oppressed” status at the first sign of even the slightest whiff of dissension (I have specific examples of this I will not share here due to my anon status).
“DEI” is, of course, also extremely fashionable in medicine, at least where I operate.
A few observations about that. So, I’ve noticed multiple clinicians in my system who have taken on the mantle of doing DEI consulting within our system, & they seem to fall into three different categories:
1) “the politically cynical DEI consultant”: these are typically younger, highly ambitious Asian women from upwardly mobile, often privileged families who see “DEI” as a stepping stone towards career success. Because they despise Republicans (and *hate* Trump) they throw themselves into the most awful aspects of it, “whiteness studies,” overt neo-Marxism, “we need present racism to fight past racism,” etc. Typically midwits relative to their earned credentials.
2) “the capable yet reluctant DEI consultants”: these are almost always black women, typically middle aged with often impressive careers & accomplishments elsewhere in the system. I’ve heard a couple of them do “DEI” presentations & they seem to carefully craft their offerings to avoid the overly neo-Marxist or hate-whitey aspects, e.g. they seem to be trying to do “DEI without the E.” I often wonder what motivates them, & I often am quietly applauding their efforts to actually try & bring some rationality & sanity to the discussion (although I tend to think it’s a bit futile). Definitely the most sympathetic of the group.
3) “The midwit career DEI consultants”: these are a mix. I’ve seen older, middle aged black men with unimpressive careers, I’ve seen young black women who have no business in medicine in this role. I’ve also see lots of relatively empty-headed younger white women & “LGBTQIASL++etc” men as well. For this group, it simply seems to serve as a busy-work, jobs program of sorts for them.
Anyways, just some observations for today….

If Sherita Hill Golden kept her job the apologies were empty and she'll just be more circumspect as she acts out her hate.

The best and the brightest is racist...

It's everywhere. Heaven help us if/when we ever need medical attention from these clowns.

1/ BREAKING: We've obtained internal emails from UCLA's medical school -- supposedly one of the best in the country. If you want to understand how DEI and anti-white, anti-American hatred have been mainlined into the medical profession, you need to see this.🧵

These emails come from a mandatory class called "Structural Racism and Health Equity." UCLA med students are told to read about wars of “Indigenous resistance” – in which Native Americans killed thousands of white people – to “imagine what liberation could look like." ...

An employee sends out a racist email, and still keeps her job? Seriously? No suspension? No reprimand? Really? In 2024?
