OAN\u2019s\u00a0Brooke Mallory<\/a> DEI chief officer for Johns Hopkins, Dr. Sherita Hill Golden,\u00a0recently sent a \u201cmonthly diversity digest\u201d email this week to staff with a letter informing the team just who is and who is not \u201cprivileged.\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n At one point, Golden boldly asserted that \u201call males\u201d are privileged, and she includes \u201cWhite people,\u201d those who are \u201cMiddle class,\u201d and even \u201cMiddle-aged people\u201d as members of the \u201cprivileged\u201d category.<\/p>\n Golden goes on to label \u201ccisgender people\u201d as privileged too. Cisgender refers to those who identify with the sex and gender that they were born with. However, she did not stop there. \u201cChristians,\u201d \u201cable-bodied people,\u201d and \u201cEnglish-speaking people\u201d were also on the list.<\/p>\n So, if you speak English, Dr. Golden considers you a privileged class and member of society, and you are not aware of your \u201cunearned\u201d benefits.<\/p>\n Essentially, Dr. Golden has placed those in the privileged categories if they were not born into a family of impoverished, non-English-speaking women of color who now identify as men, or vice versa.<\/p>\n John Hopkins just sent out this hit list of people automatically guilty of “privilege” whether they know it or not:<\/p>\n -Males This message was emailed directly to employees\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/xor1wjo17B<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) January 10, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n \u201cPrivilege is characteristically invisible to people who have it,\u201d Golden explained in the email.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cPeople in dominant groups often believe they have earned the privileges they enjoy or that everyone could have access to these privileges if only they worked to earn them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Many were shocked to find out that a renowned, respectable hospital such as Johns Hopkins would hire a DEI officer who exudes such bigotry.<\/p>\n However, the hospital did create the position of Chief Diversity Officer, and they still chose to install Golden to carry out the task of making those who were born with certain characteristics and traits feel guilty for the hand that they have been dealt.\u00a0<\/p>\n Golden was even praised in a LinkedIn post by The Center Club. The Center Club labels itself as \u201cBaltimore\u2019s premier venue for dining, business, social and family activities.\u201d<\/p>\n The company praised Golden in the post and gave a description of her duties, while highlighting her in the \u201cWomen in Business 2023 Trailblazer Spotlight.\u201d<\/p>\n Extensive medical research and essential operations are carried out by Johns Hopkins. The hospital\u2019s capacity to do such tasks to the best of its abilities is compromised if someone is hired to do them based on their sexual orientation or skin tone.<\/p>\n A Johns Hopkins Medicine representative clarified in an email to The National Desk <\/em>(TND) on Thursday that the statement did not align with the organization\u2019s beliefs.<\/p>\n \u201cThe January edition of the monthly newsletter from the Johns Hopkins Medicine Office of Diversity, Inclusion and Health Equity used language that contradicts the values of Johns Hopkins as an institution,\u201d they said. \u201cDr. Sherita Golden, Johns Hopkins Medicine\u2019s Chief Diversity Officer, has sincerely acknowledged this mistake and retracted the language used in the message,\u201d they said in an apology.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Stay informed!
