Privilege: The Hill to DEI on
Wednesday Jan 24, 2024
Wednesday Jan 24, 2024
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.
OR IF YOU PREFER TO READ THE AI SUMMARY OF THIS EPISODE - UNTOUCHED AND UNDOCTORED BY HUMAN HANDS (not even Dr. Hill Golden's hands would be allowed to edit this):
Press play on 'Apologies Accepted', an enlightening podcast episode featuring Theo and Juliette as they traverse through light-hearted banter to profound discussions. They paint a vivid picture of their personal experiences, balanced perfectly with engaging dialogues on critical global issues.Google
The episode swoops into action with an amusing update on Theo's Scottish Christmas and Philippines' journey, contrasted beautifully with Juliette's Canadian snowstorm escapade and mouse invasion encounter. The opening sets the stage for the episode's crucial discussion.
Crunch into the kernel of the episode that discusses the incendiary backlash to Dr. Sherita Hill Golden's definition of 'privilege.' Dissect the unfolding controversy that involves the prestigious medical professor and Vice President at Johns Hopkins University, her explanatory email on 'privilege,' and the subsequent apology that reveals the distortion of the privilege issue at large.
Dive deep into discussions critiquing selective media treatment towards diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, the attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris and how privilege is distorted in various societal circles. Get swept into a thought-provoking journey that extends to unpack increasing conflicts between right-wing organizations and financial institutions in the US, instigated by a controversial event involving JP Morgan Chase and the National Committee for Religious Freedom.
This episode serves not only as an exploration of political bias, institutional instability, and manipulative narratives, but also as an eye-opener that discerns facts from distortion. Tune into this engaging podcast that perfectly blends the personal and the political with tales of apologizing in the public eye.
