They're saying the quiet part out loud: if you are White and arrive in an ambulance, desperately needing admission to one of the country’s premier hospitals, you would be turned away at the emergency room door because of your race.
Ruling class members are starting to state out loud the heretofore tacit punitive anti-White discrimination they seek in order to atone for ‘structural racism.' Two professors at Harvard Medical School, Drs. Bram Wispelwey and Michelle Morse, have published an open call for racial discrimination in the delivery of medical services in the name of remedying “structural racism.” The article, titled “An Antiracist Agenda for Medicine,” has attracted criticism from conservatives, but so far no rebuke from Harvard Medical School or Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the Harvard-affiliated hospital, where they practice.
The authors openly state that they are drawing on “Critical Race Theory” and advocate for reparations to paid to (all? Including Barack Obama and Kamala Harris, both of whose Black ancestors were slave-owners) Blacks, but see that measure as insufficient. They want open discrimination against Whites (and maybe Asians) in order to favor Blacks and what they call “Latinx” (a patronizing label favored by progressives but shunned by most Hispanics).
[W]e have developed what we hope will be a replicable pilot program for direct redress of many racial health care inequities—one that takes seriously the limitations of colorblind solutions and empowers institutions in variety of contexts to take decisive action to achieve racial equity.
Building on calls for reparations, we call this a vision for medical restitution. Federally paid reparations—urgent and long overdue—would help to mitigate racial health inequities (including those seen in COVID-19), but they would not, on their own, end institutional and structural racism.

We believe we must pursue restitution programs at the institutional level while also advocating for federal reparations. (snip)
Redress could take multiple forms, from cash transfers and discounted or free care to taxes on nonprofit hospitals that exclude patients of color and race-explicit protocol changes (such as preferentially admitting patients historically denied access to certain forms of medical care). (snip)
[W]e have taken redress in our particular initiative to mean providing precisely what was denied for at least a decade: a preferential admission option for Black and Latinx heart failure patients to our specialty cardiology service.
That last sentence means that if you are White or Asian and arrive in an ambulance, desperately needing admission to one of the country’s premier hospitals, you would be turned away at the emergency room door because of your race. You can take all the fine rhetoric the two docs provide in their wordy article about “structural racism” and “applicative justice” but it won’t hide the ugly truth. They want to punish Whites (and presumably, Asians).
Just a stepping stone toward eliminating populations based on their race.
I read about this happening in South Africa a few years ago, Whites denied or given delayed treatment because of their race.
Now it will happen to us here in the U.S.
So their answer to racism is ......racism.
Brilliant.
Good God Almighty!
Massachusetts the home of Harvard should be purged from the union. The Residents are anti America to their over educated core
Amazing.
Four legs bad; two legs better.
Governor Klanrobes tried to prioritize the vaccine for minorities and they were having none of it. In his white KKK mindset, he couldn’t envision why blacks would be apprehensive about being the first to get the vaccine.
From the heights of Harvard of old, the present collection of clowns has pointed the nose straight down, selected afterburner, and told everyone that things are fine. Any state that elected such slime as the Kennedys, Kerry, etc truly deserves a slow and painful death.
Oh well, the east coast is pretty much f****d in any case, so let’s just let them do what they do until it’s time to cut them off. They produce no energy of any consequence, so we just force them to use their windmills, solar cells (constantly cloudy skies), whilst we sip a martini and watch the bastards freeze to death in the dark. Cold is an equal opportunity type of guy.
Physicians long ago gave up trying to “do no harm”.
They claim they cannot be racist because they do not have the infrastructure to do anything with their bigotry... except deny admissions to universities, hospitals, and employment based on being white or asian.
I’ve got their medical restitution hangin.
Now that progressives stole the election and are running the show, I shudder to think what the U.S. will look like in 4 years.
I have long said that to understand what Leftists want to do or are doing, all you have to do is actually listen to them or pay attention to what they accuse their enemies of.
For them, revealing their plans is part of boasting, and they cannot help themselves when it comes to boasting, which is why the Veritas videos are so revealing.
Why do these “elite” scholars feel so much guilt for things that may have happened over 150 years ago?
Perhaps they don’t.
Perhaps they are simply addicted to self righteousness.
Just FYI...that’s true of most of us but *not* all!
Anti-White racists.
And what do you know, two wrongs do make a right (in libbie Bizarro World).
Enjoy those malpractice lawsuits, doctors who think this way.
They went full bore to steal the election, and seeing what they got away with while suffering no consequences whatsoever...they are going for the gold ring on everything.
I read an article that discussed the way they are setting up HR-1 (”Voting Reform” which really means “Voting Fraud”) and they are attempting to set it up in a way that it will make it difficult if not impossible to overturn.
There is a concept called “severability” which involves breaking a piece of legislation into components that have “severability” which means that is one part of the legislation is challenged and ruled unconstitutional, it doesn’t invalidate the entire package.
Each severable “component” would have to be attacked and invalidated individually.
They are evil. No question.
