Yet one could wonder about the above. Since \u201cracism\u201d is our most obsessed-upon modern \u201csin\u201d (the actual Seven Deadly Sins are pass\u00e9), 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?<\/p>\n<p>Or must we go even further and, as the racialists say, \u201cerase whiteness,\u201d which has become a euphemism for erasing white people?<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the case, WGMD.com has the Golden State story, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wgmd.com\/california-doctors-sue-medical-board-over-mandatory-implicit-bias-training\/\">writing<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Two California doctors and a medical advocacy group, Do No Harm, filed a joint lawsuit Aug. 1 against the state\u2019s medical board to terminate its mandatory \u201cimplicit bias training,\u201d contending that it infringes on their freedom of speech rights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The progressive training is required for all medical professionals in the Golden State who seek to advance their education. \u201cImplicit bias\u201d suggests medical practitioners treat patients differently based on factors like race or sexuality, possibly leading to different health outcomes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The lawsuit targets state legislation passed in 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB241\">AB 241<\/a>, which defines health care-linked implicit bias as subconscious \u201cattitudes or internalized stereotypes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">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 \u201ccompel speakers to engage in discussions on subjects they prefer to remain silent about,\u201d according to the filing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Do No Harm says the law requires physicians \u201cto 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cThe government cannot condition a speaker\u2019s ability to offer courses for credit on the requirement that [he] espouse the government\u2019s favored view on a controversial topic. This case seeks to vindicate those important constitutional rights,\u201d the lawsuit reads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe case, formally titled Azadeh Khatibi, et al. v. Kristina Lawson [president of California\u2019s 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,\u201d Just the News <a href=\"https:\/\/justthenews.com\/nation\/states\/center-square\/doctors-sue-california-over-training-whites-are-naturally-racist?utm_source=wnd&amp;utm_medium=wnd&amp;utm_campaign=syndicated\">adds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Khatibi, who\u2019s also a continuing medical education instructor, filed the case because, among other reasons, she dislikes being compelled to discuss \u201cimplicit bias,\u201d as it is irrelevant to her course topics, states the PLF complaint<\/p>\n<p>The irony here is that while \u201c\u2018implicit bias\u2019 suggests medical practitioners treat patients differently based on factors like race \u2026 leading to different health outcomes,\u201d this is precisely what they\u2019re <em>supposed<\/em> to do.<\/p>\n<p>As the late Dr. Walter E. Williams <a href=\"http:\/\/walterewilliams.com\/profiling\/\">wrote<\/a> in 2013 after pointing out that diseases don\u2019t plague groups equally (e.g., black men have America\u2019s highest prostate-cancer rate), \u201cSimply by knowing a patient\u2019s race or ethnicity, a medical practitioner can be alert to and better customize a patient\u2019s screening needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for the races\u2019 \u201cdifferent health outcomes,\u201d while whites (average lifespan 78.9) do outlive blacks (75.3), they are <em>outlived<\/em> themselves by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nih.gov\/news-events\/news-releases\/life-expectancy-us-increased-between-2000-2019-widespread-gaps-among-racial-ethnic-groups-exist\">Asian-descent Americans<\/a> (85.7) and Hispanics (82.2). Is this attributable to \u201cimplicit\u201d medical-practitioner bias against whites? Or are groups\u2019 different lifestyle choices a better explanation (e.g., blacks have our country\u2019s highest obesity rate)?<\/p>\n<p>The kicker is that implicit-bias training is actually counterproductive. As Do No Harm <a href=\"https:\/\/donoharmmedicine.org\/2023\/08\/01\/do-no-harm-joins-lawsuit-to-challenge-californias-mandatory-implicit-bias-training-in-healthcare\/\">w<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/donoharmmedicine.org\/2023\/08\/01\/do-no-harm-joins-lawsuit-to-challenge-californias-mandatory-implicit-bias-training-in-healthcare\/\">r<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/donoharmmedicine.org\/2023\/08\/01\/do-no-harm-joins-lawsuit-to-challenge-californias-mandatory-implicit-bias-training-in-healthcare\/\">ote<\/a> in a press release, \u201c\u2018The implicit bias requirement promotes the inaccurate belief that white individuals are naturally racist,\u2019 said <a href=\"https:\/\/marilynsingletonmdjd.com\/\">Dr. Marilyn Singleton<\/a>, a visiting fellow of the Do No Harm organization and California anesthesiologist who teaches continuing medical education courses in California. \u2018This 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.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet the problem lies with implicit-bias training itself, not just with a few of its prescriptions. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beapplied.com\/post\/why-unconscious-bias-training-does-not-work\">studies have shown<\/a> that it <em>does not work<\/em>, period; far from eliminating prejudice, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.td.org\/atd-blog\/when-unconscious-bias-training-does-more-harm-than-good\">it <em>strengthens<\/em> it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, people, even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2566511\/\">babies<\/a>, do exhibit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.americanthinker.com\/blog\/2019\/08\/is_ingroup_preference_really_so_bad.html\">in-group preference<\/a>. People also will have prejudice, properly defined as rashly and incorrectly <em>pre-judging<\/em> someone, something, or some group negatively. But Original Sin doesn\u2019t plague just white people, and the concept was formulated long ago \u2014 correctly \u2014 by far wiser minds than today\u2019s flash-in-the-pan, race-oriented biological determinists.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did the wiser minds define sin <em>in its entirety<\/em> \u2014 i.e. greed, pride, sloth, lust, gluttony, envy, and wrath (and there are sub-categories, too) \u2014 but they provided the actual remedy: virtue, cultivated via the grace of God.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t eliminate a negative by focusing inordinately on the negative, but by focusing on the positive that negates it. For example, you don\u2019t eliminate lust\u2019s pitfalls by fixating on lust, but by cultivating Chastity.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, you don\u2019t eliminate bigotry just by focusing on bigotry, but by cultivating Kindness, Justice, and Charity.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, inordinate focus on a negative as it relates to just <em>one<\/em> group often means that you don\u2019t want to eliminate the negative, but the <em>group<\/em> \u2014 if not physically, then as a factor in society.<\/p>\n<p>And if you can make money in the process, all the better.
