By now, it seems like we should be used to the woke movement and its insertion into our culture. But the wokes continue to find ways to surprise us.
Just the other day, I saw a television ad while watching the news. I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but a friend of mine brought it to my attention a couple of days later.
In the commercial for Oscar Health, a man named Oscar with a son named Oscar Jr. says, “Know what really hurts? When you go to the doctor and they don’t believe you’re in pain because of the color of your skin.”
No, seriously. Check it out for yourself.
With all the swarthy docs and nurses around these “woke” days, it’s more likely that they’d HOPE you were in pain because of the pale color of your skin.
My doctor never seems to take MY pain seriously, or even get close enough to actually do doctor things, and I’m White.
…of course, I’m not sure what color HE is, because he layers himself so completely in scrubs, white coat, gloves, masks, eye shields, glasses, etc., that I don’t see much more of him than bulging eyes, and whatever it is he’s saying is pretty muffled but I don’t hear well and he won’t come closer, so I don’t know if he hates my skin color or not.
FWIW, I’m pretty sure it’s more because he’s a COVID coward and he hates the whole idea of actually seeing patients anyway, but I could be wrong and there’s no Oscar out there to complain on MY behalf, wowzy, wowzy, woo woo…

As far as I can tell, the color that all doctors never ignore is the color “green”, as in cash green.
It’s a woke fetis. Find the most ridiculous thing and declare “racist”!
Are they ignoring the most obvious! Chelate covered ice cream bars!!! Yikes, “White privilege” on so many ways. Too little chocolate! The chocolate ‘enslaved’ = ‘cover’ protect, ‘whitey domination’.
Don’t even get me started on the racist “FUDGESICLES”.
Aaaaaaaannnnnnd then there this:
‘Biden brings CRT to medicine’ HHS to offer bonuses to doctors who create ‘anti-racism plans’

How better to promote “racism” than to incentivise an entire industry with the creation of so-called “anti-racism” programs, and they’re using our tax dollars to do it with!!
Then there is this shit:
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/too-many-whites-attend-campus-concerts-says-oberlin-college-newspaper-columnist/ar-AARVkp9?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531
Complete with a 30 minute behavioral training class and forms to be signed to acknowledge “different Identities” before attending affairs that are monitored by “Vibe Watchers” who look for “misconduct”…
whutever the hell that is!!
Welcome to the New Communism of the 21st Century!
(same as the old)
Also FWIW, I spent a fair amount of time in hospital ERs and staff lounges of same, as well as seen doctors and nurses in dire circumstances with no family around being just as honest as people under stress tend to get with cuss words, yelling, etc., and in the many, MANY such encounters with people who were DEFINITELY not putting on a show for MY low level ass, I never, EVER heard someone discount a patient’s pain or otherwise degrade them because of their race, or even take note of it other than as an identifier (“Get a BP on the the Black patient in Fast Track”, for example, which held more than one patient at a time in a ward arragement with no divider or curtain so it made identification pretty fast to point out visual differences such as this when only ONE such is present), or as a factor in making a differential diagnosis (Yes, Virginia, Black men are statistically FAR more likely to have heart attacks and strokes and general high blood pressure than White people for a myriad of possible reasons that no one EVER cared about other than considering it as a factor to aid in the best possible treatment), and of course when I brought a Sickle Cell Crisis patient in it was pretty hard to hide.
Never, EVER, by word or deed, even in unguarded moments, did I EVER hear a doctor say anything like “Black people all fake it” and this was when the field was actually, mostly White and cell phones didn’t exist to capture those unguarded moments, so they had no REASON to lie to me if they felt like letting their hate flag fly…which they NEVER DID.
While I WILL allow that medical professionals in general and doctors in particular have become MUCH less professional and more emotional in the decades since then, given the ubiquitousness of recording devices NOW and the Orwellian tendency of woke colleagues to turn you in for ANY questionable utterance to HR, Twitter, or BOTH, that the fact that “Oscar” doesn’t have any such video or really anything but biased studies of anecdotal accounts, that this is worthy of having “bullshit” called on it even TODAY.
With one exception.
Doctors ARE, by policy and sometimes mandate, REQUIRED to be racist.
Towards WHITE people.
…here’s an example now, I’m sure you can find others…
https://iotwreport.com/are-you-white-and-want-monoclonal-antibodies-get-in-line-behind-high-risk-ethnicities/
…White people are discriminated against NOW, every day, in every way.
Black people not so much.
Read the news.
ANY news.
Look at White people vs. Black people treatment ANY time Government is involved.
…you’ll see what I mean…
…also, I wonder how Oscar feels about stuff like THIS…

…but Muslim doctors are technically “POC” by Democrat definition, so it’s all good with Oscar, apparently…
Mm

“Don’t even get me started on the racist “FUDGESICLES”.”
…are they REALLY bigger than Creamsicles, or is that just a myth…;)
Since Covid, My Doctor won’t even see me.
All telephone Consults, no reduction in what they Bill Ontario OHIP though. (socialized medicine)
…I DO notice Oscar doesn’t seem to mind the REAL racially demostrable fact that THEY pay for WAYYYY more deliberate murders of Black infants than White, but nooo, let’s just avert our eyes from THAT inconvenient truth and the Democrats that made it happen and move on, eh?
If you are White. don’t do business with them.
Oh man, I loved Fudgesicles. When I was 4 my mom would give me a nickel and I’d walk past the Town Hall (and cop shop) to the little corner store. I don’t remember much from those days, but that memory is etched into the old brain pan.
It ain’t color – it’s sex.
If you’re a man they don’t seem to want to prescribe dope – just let you suffer.
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
So, are we now gonna start seeing Waffle House/Airport style chimp-outs in doctor waiting rooms now?
@ Tim – FJB,
No shit, a woman can go to the doctor and complain of a headache and get wa prescription for anything…
But a man can go in with an arm hanging off and ne prescribed tylenol.
FJB and the medical profession.
Nothing new. Marxists have been spewing out this communist narrative since the early 1900s in this country.
The socialism indoctrinated public school grads don’t know anything about critical thinking or history. They buy the leftist lie, black people have inferior medical care in America – out of stupid.
Democrat policies are the only thing that have been medically abusing black people by implimented sterilization camps and abortion clinics exclusively design to exterminate black Americans.
Personally I would never engage such a biz which uses others as human shields for the purposes of self-profit.
