Doctors Without Borders Accused of ‘Institutional Racism’ by Employees

Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders/MSF) has been accused of reinforcing “colonialism and white supremacy” by 1,000 current and former employees in a letter to the NGO’s management.

The signatories have demanded an investigation into the activities of the NGO, which provides medical services around the globe and also previously engaged in transporting migrants across the Mediterranean from North Africa.

Several prominent members of the NGO spoke out about the group’s perceived faults including board members in the UK and in southern Africa who signed the letter that called on the group to get rid of “decades of power and paternalism”, Franceinfo reports.

Other signatories to the letter denounced a so-called “white saviour” mentality among members of the organisation.

According to The Guardian, the letter came in response to a statement released by the Italian branch of MSF that stated members of the group should talk about how “all lives matter”, with some seeing the phrase as conflicting with the Black Lives Matter movement

Not the first time the MSF virtuous assclowns have been called out. Other self righteous groups get called out for their own internal 'systemic racism'(whatever that means) but since they are so wonderful, nothing ever develops.

“colonialism and white supremacy”

Would that include using Western Medicine instead of native shamans?

Wait. So if a white person helps out a non-white, he’s racist? Or am I reading that wrong?

I wonder what a bunch of educated people working for free to save blacks in post-colonial wastelands might know about such things?

Doctors Without Borders is a horribly left-leaning commie organization. So “they” are turning on themselves. Cool.

Fine. Let them die.

The White man can survive without the Black man. The Black man cannot survive without the White man.

A day without white people would be interesting to say the least. A month without white people would be tragic. A world without white people is their goal.

Ask everyone of them what they want? Give it to them and then fire them. Or if all they want is promotions and leadership positions, shut the whole organization down and start a new one.

1000 black employees from the CDC complain about systemic racism, shut down the whole effin’ thing and start over. Given how the CDC has performed in the last 9 months, I doubt anyone will notice.

100 Ford employees want the company to stop building cop cars. Ok. Stop building them and then have the company lay off thousands. Make those 100 go around and tell their soon-to-be former coworkers that they’re fired.

Do it.

Not speaking about MSF particularly, but the much of “foreign aid” is filled with haughty leftist condescension, statism, and often corruption and political strings.

Then Doctors without Borders needs to leave those countries which are complaining. As much as I dislike the liberal organization, there are plenty of doctors who go to those countries pro bono, and do incredible work.

Nope. Just white french doctors asserting their superiority over the bush people.
