The program is ostensibly designed to eliminate “implicit bias.” Yet it promotes a very explicit one — a real doozy, too.
In fact, states a lawsuit filed by a coalition of California doctors against their state’s medical board, training now compulsory for Golden State physicians teaches that “white individuals are naturally racist.”
Of course, anti-white “anti-bias” training is common today. Yet one could wonder about the above. Since “racism” is our most obsessed-upon modern “sin” (the actual Seven Deadly Sins are passé), what are the implications of saying that whites alone carry with regard to it the stain of original sin? Must they be subjected to genetic engineering to purge this defect from them?
Or must we go even further and, as the racialists say, “erase whiteness,” which has become a euphemism for erasing white people?
Whatever the case, WGMD.com has the Golden State story, writing:
Two California doctors and a medical advocacy group, Do No Harm, filed a joint lawsuit Aug. 1 against the state’s medical board to terminate its mandatory “implicit bias training,” contending that it infringes on their freedom of speech rights.
The progressive training is required for all medical professionals in the Golden State who seek to advance their education. “Implicit bias” suggests medical practitioners treat patients differently based on factors like race or sexuality, possibly leading to different health outcomes.
The lawsuit targets state legislation passed in 2019, AB 241, which defines health care-linked implicit bias as subconscious “attitudes or internalized stereotypes.”
Los Angeles doctors Marilyn Singleton and Azadeh Khatibi and Do No Harm say the law instead coerces medical professionals to violate their freedom of speech rights to “compel speakers to engage in discussions on subjects they prefer to remain silent about,” according to the filing.
Do No Harm says the law requires physicians “to adopt an ideology that is unpersuasive nor unsupported by evidence to presume all healthcare providers are infected with implicit bias and thus treat patients differently.”
“The government cannot condition a speaker’s ability to offer courses for credit on the requirement that [he] espouse the government’s favored view on a controversial topic. This case seeks to vindicate those important constitutional rights,” the lawsuit reads.
“The case, formally titled Azadeh Khatibi, et al. v. Kristina Lawson [president of California’s Medical Board], et. al, was originally filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation (PLF) on behalf of Dr. Azadeh Khatibi, an ophthalmology specialist who immigrated to the United States from Iran when she was six,” Just the News adds.
Khatibi, who’s also a continuing medical education instructor, filed the case because, among other reasons, she dislikes being compelled to discuss “implicit bias,” as it is irrelevant to her course topics, states the PLF complaint
The irony here is that while “‘implicit bias’ suggests medical practitioners treat patients differently based on factors like race … leading to different health outcomes,” this is precisely what they’re supposed to do.
As the late Dr. Walter E. Williams wrote in 2013 after pointing out that diseases don’t plague groups equally (e.g., black men have America’s highest prostate-cancer rate), “Simply by knowing a patient’s race or ethnicity, a medical practitioner can be alert to and better customize a patient’s screening needs.”
As for the races’ “different health outcomes,” while whites (average lifespan 78.9) do outlive blacks (75.3), they are outlived themselves by Asian-descent Americans (85.7) and Hispanics (82.2). Is this attributable to “implicit” medical-practitioner bias against whites? Or are groups’ different lifestyle choices a better explanation (e.g., blacks have our country’s highest obesity rate)?
The kicker is that implicit-bias training is actually counterproductive. As Do No Harm wrote in a press release, “‘The implicit bias requirement promotes the inaccurate belief that white individuals are naturally racist,’ said Dr. Marilyn Singleton, a visiting fellow of the Do No Harm organization and California anesthesiologist who teaches continuing medical education courses in California. ‘This message can be detrimental to medical professionals and their patients as it creates an atmosphere of suspicion and animosity, which goes against the fundamental principle of doing no harm.’”
Yet the problem lies with implicit-bias training itself, not just with a few of its prescriptions. In fact, studies have shown that it does not work, period; far from eliminating prejudice, it strengthens it.
Of course, people, even babies, do exhibit in-group preference. People also will have prejudice, properly defined as rashly and incorrectly pre-judging someone, something, or some group negatively. But Original Sin doesn’t plague just white people, and the concept was formulated long ago — correctly — by far wiser minds than today’s flash-in-the-pan, race-oriented biological determinists.
Not only did the wiser minds define sin in its entirety — i.e. greed, pride, sloth, lust, gluttony, envy, and wrath (and there are sub-categories, too) — but they provided the actual remedy: virtue, cultivated via the grace of God.
You don’t eliminate a negative by focusing inordinately on the negative, but by focusing on the positive that negates it. For example, you don’t eliminate lust’s pitfalls by fixating on lust, but by cultivating Chastity.
Likewise, you don’t eliminate bigotry just by focusing on bigotry, but by cultivating Kindness, Justice, and Charity.
What’s more, inordinate focus on a negative as it relates to just one group often means that you don’t want to eliminate the negative, but the group — if not physically, then as a factor in society.
And if you can make money in the process, all the better. Note here that the “diversity & inclusion training market was recently valued at nearly $8 billion annually,” related Applied in 2019.
My, my, has racial hatred ever been so profitable?
I am not even White and I am a racist. In fact I am a racist even against my own race.
The white race,if it has any desire for its own survival has no other choice now but to embrace the wise and timeless teachings of NicoX as its undisputed supreme leader along with his new and improved cult of A.A.
But first it is absolutely necessary to wipe out from the face of the Earth every single Slavic man,woman and child as some of them are simply not white enough and there are credible rumors that many of the subhuman Slavs have hair that is other than light blond and eyes that are not bright blue.
This amazing new philosophy will take the old but uber reliable,tried and tested “divide and conquer” concept well into the next century.
So please join Nico at Alcoholics Anonymous every Thursday morning or Sunday evening and help to change the world.
The FIRST THING THAT SHOULD BE DONE but never is, is to repudiate the use of the word “racist”. I have argued this for over twenty years.
“Racism” implies the acknowledgements of group difference “AND” the dislike/hatred of the “other”. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF DIFFERENCE DOES NOT IMPLY DISLIKE/HATRED. The “AND” is a non-sequitur. “Racism” is a loaded term.
The relatively sane side of this dialectic is forever trying to honestly answer the question: “have you stopped beating your wife yet?” with a “yes” or “no” answer, when the answer is to reject the premise or in the highlighted issue, the lexicon itself…
Just more White replacement and genocide. Maybe the woke liberals and Jews prefer an ooga booga witch doctor out of Africa. Hey, nothing like walking in the local medical building and seeing your physician with a bone in their nose, a plate in their lip wearing a grass skirt.
Welcome to Nonwhite Supremacy. Remember, they (Jews, blacks, asians, homos/trannies, mulattoes, christians, commies, latinos etc) won’t be happy until every white gentile on the planet is mongrelized or dead. 8 billion of them now. Millions/billions being organized/transported by ZOG to Europe/USA/Canada/OZ-NZ to displace/exterminate whites…
Up until 20 years ago I was not racist. I just wanted to work and raise a family. Today I am a proud racist. The way I see it,,, if I am going to get blamed for it no matter what then I will do my best not to disappoint, what ever it is. There is no way I will apologize for my color and I would not expect that from anyone else, regardless of color. If forced, I will defend myself.
This is simply another arm of the attack on the White Israel Of GOD, by the Jews, and it will soon be gone with the wind!
The Day Of Atonement is coming, with true vengeance!
The Original Sin idea is not from wise minds, it is from priests who were creating a non-existent problem and getting rich off it by bestowing absolutions, forgiveness from God’s vicar. Today the White person can get absolution by paying tons of money to foreigners
wait until 50 million black Safricans murder 4 million whites !

As a kid, my private thought was gladness to be white- and America was characterized by ‘truth, justice & the American way’ as the announcer of George Reeves’ ‘Super Man’ would intone before each episode.
This is still my ideal in spite of the promulgated filth, lies, ugliness & murder that would hammer down such ‘naivety’.
There is great danger in asserting “whites are naturally racist”; they are not. Racism, in the West particularly, historically, was likely derived from systemic and institutional capitalism, which, in turn, emanated from pervasive greed and ubiquitous, widespread materialism.
Racism is mere feeble ideology without the institutional power that undergirds and disseminates it, and such intstitutions constitute the lever of power that has strongly encouraged or demanded that whites adopt the notion of their natural sueriority and the idea of the inferiority of all others.
These backward ideas may seem to work over hundreds of years, but because God created us all equal, the truth of the equality of human beings will ultimately prevail. In the meantime, many white people in the West, who have unfortunately been manipulated by powerful systems and institutions, are stuck with the flattery of their own superiority, which constitutes a very thick cloud of darkness in the mind that veils their souls. Being mentally trapped thusly, they cannot perceive the universal law of equality, nor can they comprehend adequately the fact that those whom they hate are actually their darker-hued brothers and sisters whom God loves.
In the early 17th century in America before white indentured servants had been corrupted with sardonic notions of divisive inequality, black slaves and white indentured servants, for the most part, lived together under often difficult conditions. Those white indentured servants did not believe they had descended from a superior race; they did not view the blacks as inferior beings. Therefore, marriage between members of the two groups was not uncommon, and when they weren’t working for their masters, they found ways to play together.
From whence then did the dark ideas come? Who planted the idea of white superiority and black inferiority in the minds of unsuspecting indentured servants? Who deliberately and dangerously divided the races?
I can’t wait for the day one of these Jewish instigators is in surgery and the surgeon is a black man who skipped most of the classes in medical school in order for him to pass as part of a “diverse” class. Maybe the surgery will be a simple appendectomy but “Dr. Black” will amputate his leg instead.
