Privilege: The Hill to DEI on
Manage episode 397457068 series 2855386
Right Wing Media will have you know that Sherita Hill Golden is the DEI (Diversity, Equality, Inclusion) officer at John Hopkins Medical Center and she sent out an email that said that white people, Christians, and men are privileged. The slant of the articles and opinion pieces and onscreen televangelists – sorry we mean onscreen television news casters – would have you believe that she is calling for America to open up prison camps for white Christian males. They don’t say that explicitly, but for sure they are stoking the fires of fear with their rhetoric. They also don’t explain that the list of “privileged people” included people who speak English.
What they further fail to mention is that Dr. Sherita Hill Golden is an actual doctor, not some activist hack who landed a position in the Human Resources Department. She is the Professor of Medicine and Vice President as well as Chief Diversity Officer at John Hopkins Medical Center. She speaks English and identifies as Christian. What she isn’t is white and male and that seems to be largely what set off alarm bells throughout the right-wing media EchoSphere.
Dr. Sherita Hill Golden apologized. That’s right, she apologized for being right and there wasn’t any snark in her apology at all.
We have the last laugh as we reveal the right-wing’s playbook for how to take over America and consider the value of an apology that never needed to be offered.
