A retribution-focused movement to embed racial preferences in medical treatment has gained traction in the healthcare industry.
The idea that past racism can be undone with more racism is ludicrous. Affirmative action, established in the 1960s, emphasized equality of opportunity. But it has transmogrified — through the politics of DEI, sexual orientation, and gender identity — into a new form of racism emphasizing equality of outcome.
Unconstitutional quotas deny college admissions and government jobs to whites and non-black, non-Latino, non-Native groups. The worst is the recent invasion of healthcare by DEI-driven policies. Belonging to a DEI-privileged group outweighs need. White patients may have to wait longer than blacks or Hispanics for cardiac care or kidney transplants. All in the name of “health equity” and righting past wrongs done to those groups.
This column will look at four recent lawsuits — among the many — that have been brought against such policies. It will also show how, over the last few years, a retribution-focused movement to embed racial preferences in medical treatment has gained traction in the healthcare industry.
The first case is from Montana, where in 1991, the 52nd legislature enacted and codified House Bill 424 (originally House Joint Resolution 28) as Montana § 2-15-108, MCA. The law aimed to “take positive action to attain gender balance and proportional representation of minorities” in state boards, commissions, committees, and councils. The alleged cause of the imbalance was “bias.”
In September 2023, two vacancies opened for the 12-member Board of Medical Examiners, but the governor has been unable to make appointments since the appointments must adhere to DEI. Do No Harm, an organization representing physicians and healthcare workers countering DEI in medicine, has filed a suit in U.S. District Court for the District of Montana (Helena Division), saying Montana § 2-15-108 violates...

What could go wrong?
I have canceled appointments when I discovered I was to see a diversity hire.
I don’t care what people think. I have my reasons.
Can I axe you why?
oh nevermind........
TurboTax has been running ads to get people to use them for their income tax returns. The actor pretending to be their tax expert is black. Of course that’s in line with the disproportionate number of “people of color” in commercials, but I wonder if that discourages people of no color from using TurboTax.
“Affirmative action, established in the 1960s, emphasized equality of opportunity.”
No it didn’t.
Like Didn’t Earn It (”DEI”) today, affirmative action was always about hiring and promoting blacks in spite of their relatively inferior performance and qualifications.
It’s weirder than hell. The negroes have convinced crackers to hate themselves. Whitey college “students” are just dumb enough to buy into that crap.
While I don’t “boycott” every company using a disproportionate number of blacks on commercials...that’s just not possible...I do turn off the volume during commercials. I then turn to my phone to continue reading something or playing a game. The main point of a commercial is to have customer “eyes & ears” on the TV screen...but they lose that with me. I guess it’s possible to make a list of the offending companies and boycott them, or even lodge a written complaint online or via USPS, but my life is getting shorter each day. I won’t use my remaining time to raise Cain with them. So, their loss of my “eyes & ears” will have to do.
Now, inept DEI doctors is a different matter, and I will resist that in a vocal manner.
I did a double take on the freeway yesterday when I drove by a billboard with a picture of a black woman on it, advertising “equity maternity care” at a local hospital. WHAT???!!!
Yep, reverse racism. Pretty soon white people will be able to demand reparations from black folks for their racism towards us and the damage they are causing white folks (ie getting them fired, burning down their properties in riots, doxing them etc etc etc.)
Two can playthat game.
Good for you. You will probably live longer for doing that.
The Whit college students will swallow it hook, line and sinker. We now self hating Whites and self hating Jews.
.
Amen!
Affirmative action, established in the 1960s, emphasized equality of opportunity.
Well, maybe it was established like that in the 1960s, but it quickly morphed into using the ludicrous notion that emphasized a bias outcome, not equal opportunity.
This is all in Xi Jinping’s agenda or America.
The corrupt ones pushing social justice really don’t care about racism at all. It’s a ruse to divide and conquer the people so they can saddle us with Marxism.
