We need to talk more about how difficult it is to survive medical training as a Black person. The constant micro aggressions and overt acts of discrimination is why many Black residents and fellows don’t graduate from their programs. And it hurts patient care.

Capitalism isn't new, so I’m convinced that the real change is the erosion of white solidarity in the workplace. Most white employers are more focused on hyper-individualistic capitalism than on empowering other white people through employment opportunities.

It's ironic to see unemployed white people complaining about immigration when the free market & capitalist businesses prefer to hire cheaper labor.
White kids with great college degrees cannot find jobs and most cannot even get a return phone call. That is happening. It’s all around me. And when that’s happening, you’re never gonna sell legal immigration to people. Ever. Period.

You've been subjected to constant trauma from the day you got here. You're treated like livestock by everyone with any form of authority. You've been intentionally beaten down in the hopes that you turn into a monster because recidivism is how they pay the bills.

She doesn’t have a critical understanding of racism. It’s giving “Curb racism by doing 23&Me or ancestry testing” when racism exists because “white” people benefit from labeling people as Black so they can continue to exploit them and subject them to violence
She is NOT Black! She is Nigerian. She is African. And she is correct! She says to curb racism, Africans should not identify as Black.

Absolutely spot on—let’s talk about that $629 bag of saline. Saline, a simple mix of salt and water, costs about a buck to make. Yet, somehow, hospitals charge hundreds of dollars for it. Why? Because the system is broken, plain and simple. 1/5
The Money Isn't Coming From Where You Think Pause for a moment and take a good look at your paycheck. That healthcare deduction? That's your hard-earned cash, not some magical insurance fairy dust. We've somehow tricked ourselves into believing that someone else is footing

CAPITALISM REQUIRES RACISM AND INEQUALITY According to Dr Ruth Wilson Gilmore, capitalism requires inequality to function, and racism enshrines that inequality. Or, as the great Pan-Africanist Malcolm X put it, ‘You can’t have capitalism without racism.’ In this clip from a

The only Black on Black crime I acknowledge is the violence of Black people upholding white supremacy to systematically harm other Black people.

If your education system teaches you that people who have colonized the world are heroes and your liberation fighters are terrorist, you should know you’re ruled by criminals.
