White people have a weird obsession with parading around on our skin tone to mock us. It’s like an itch they have to scratch.  I believe it serves to reinforce their false sense of superiority over us.

The anti-vaxxer thinking is MOSTLY just misplaced outrage and straw-grasping in anger that they ended up with a jacked-up child. It’s part of the Delusion of Supremacy that says nothing REALLY bad should happen to white people. Add in the fact that white women have such a hard time conceiving while minorities,…

So basically if you’re white, then black is the new black.

Actually, the paper was retracted by the journal for being dishonest pseudoscience that led to children dying. Andrew Wakefield, the author, had is medical license revoked for the ethical violations related to the study, but he is still a true believer and a celebrity in anti-vax circles.

Good if they want to compare themselves to the brave men and women that risked their lives in the Civil Rights movement they should be treated the same. What do I mean by this? I want hoses, snarling attack dogs and the police to descend upon these harpies and give them a taste of what those men, women and children…

Let me see if I have this straight.

What this is really about is white women wanting to retain the “right” to harm their children and the children of their others. It’s not borderline racist to co-opt the language of the civil rights movement to try and keep the privilege of exposing their children to diseases that have long since been cured and nearly…

Sis didn’t have to pay a dime and got free medical coverage for herself and nephew from the hospital for the next 3 years.

that is fucking insane. My friend just had an emergency c-section (in the UK) and was in hospital for 6 days because the baby had slight jaundice and they wanted to make sure she was healing.

I have no idea how we’ve managed to hide our racism from the world for so long, unless it’s because we’re not as scrutinized as the US. Our treatment of First Nations people should make us an international disgrace.

My sister almost died behind this kind of nonsense! She went into labor 3 weeks earlier than expected. Had to have an emergency C-section and was discharged from the hospital in less than 10 hours!

Unfortunately you’re right, but I push back on the Biden talk because we’re still in primary season. It’s too early to be talking about settling, and I outright reject any talk about Biden being the most “electable.” The Democrats have a range of strong candidates so this is is exactly the right time to aim high. If…

Legit have never met more racists than in healthcare. I did a lot of TAing during my grad and undergrad work and it was ALWAYS the wannabe nurse or doctor that railed against being “forced” to take a sociology class regarding race or gender. I have never heard so many folks swear, “I don’t see color. I don’t care if…

The real tea is that White Canadians, especially the Quebecois, are some of the most low-key racist people I’ve ever lived and worked around. The only difference between them and the American Whites is that they manage to hide their utter contempt for Black and Brown people a little better.

That is just fucking disrespectful. 

Why tho? What about my skin is so funny?

Passive aggressive system forces women and people of color to be be aggressive in order to get any kind of service, then refuses services because “aggression.” This is a feature, not a bug, for the status quo. This isn’t an accident, it’s by design.

I hope they sue. Organizations only respond to things that will hurt their bottom line. Hit them where it hurts and watch them change policy.

My daughter just became a nurse this Spring. She told me she has already had to advocate for many black patients and their pain management. She’s also noted the superior treatment and empathy for white patients. Ridiculous.

I’ve heard of no less than three instances in the past couple of years of people my wife knows that this has happened to. They show up at the hospital, they say that something is wrong/something is happening to them with the baby, and the nurses don’t believe them. They chalk it up to hysterics and the women get sent…
