I’m a Black doctor suing California for its racist medical mandate

I know what racial progress looks like. I was one of the first Black students to attend Stanford University and the University of California San Francisco medical school. When I received my medical degree 50 years ago, in 1973, society was far from just. Yet it seemed that California was leading the nation toward a future of equal treatment, free of the racist belief that skin color defines who we are as human beings. 

What happened to that forward-looking California? My state is now going backward – to the point of enshrining racism in law. Since the start of 2022, lawmakers have mandated that all continuing medical education courses offered by state-based organizations include a focus on so-called "implicit bias." 

Physicians are required to take at least 50 hours of such coursework every two years. For me, this is a double whammy. Like all physicians, I have to renew my license, and I frequently teach continuing education courses. 

The concept of "implicit bias" is racist. It assumes that a person’s skin color determines how they treat individuals of different races – that our melanin dictates our interactions with them. The California law takes this claim as fact, stating that "implicit bias… exists" and includes the "attitudes or internalized stereotypes that affect our perceptions, actions, and decisions." It further states that such bias "contributes to unequal treatment of people based on race," and that implicit bias "affect[s] the behavior of physicians and surgeons, nurses, physician assistants, and other healing arts licensees."

While the law doesn’t say it, the accusation is clear: White people are oppressors and Black people are oppressed. Nationwide, implicit-bias trainings for medical professionals routinely discuss systemic racism, White supremacy, and other race-based attacks on classes of people.  

Points to ponder:

1. Is ANYONE surprised that that f@g RACIST state is requiring this? Basically the state says blacks are INFERIOR.

2. The same mentality was tried in Florida public schools with that CRITICAL RACIST THEORY. Our legislature voted it to be removed and our brilliant governor signed the bill.

3. RACISM truly is a trait of the LEFT. The WORST racists today are left wing Democrats. It's not so surprising about Democrats, being the party of slavery, Jim Crow laws, the KKK, and BLM (either it means Build Large Mansions or Burn Loot Murder.)

You have a lot of anger.

I don't have a big problem with these types of bias training courses, I see their use.  I do, however, have a big problem when they assume some races have more (or less) racial bias than other races.  That seems like a racist, and in my experience inaccurate, assumption.

I wasn't angry when I typed this. The BLACK doctor who is suing KKKalifornia was probably not too angry when he filed this suit.

That makes you a racist.

If the training course said no blacks could be doctors because they were genetically INFERIOR, you would be screaming bloody murder.

This is NO DIFFERENT.

Racism is racism, here in the 21st Century and it applies to ALL RACES.
