Executive order “Restoring Truth & Sanity to American History” cites as “divisive, race-centered ideology” … “the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct.” Isn’t the myth of biological race the most divisive ideology ever invented? #FatalInvention
Dorothy Roberts told us about the dangers of sharing your genetic material with all these lame companies. #FatalInvention

Showing once again: race is a political classification system that was invented to support white supremacy & racism (not a natural division of human beings into biologically distinct groups). #FatalInvention
Truth. I’m convinced that Western science’s foundational obsession with the myth of biological race has not only perpetrated & perpetuated health inequities, but also has hindered it from understanding how human bodies work. Truly a #FatalInvention.
Hunh. The brilliant @marclamonthill is on #CSPAN2 @BookTV back-to-back. Now on with @DorothyERoberts, author of #KillingTheBlackBody, #ShatteredBonds, #FatalInvention, and #TornApart. Giving thanks for #BlackWriters
Tonight, 6:10 ET: @BookTV (#CSPAN2) will broadcast the @Center4BlackLit's #NBWC2022 panel moderated by #MarkAnthonyNeal @NewBlackMan. Watch him, #EdwidgeDanticat, @marclamonthill (pic), @MorganJerkins, + @PenielJoseph (pic) discuss “The Social Responsibility of the #BlackWriter.”
Food for thought :
1. When can it be appropriate to use race as a category in research?
-If racism is being studied
-As an imperfect proxy for social determinants of health
2.What is a better way to replace these categories ? Ancestry maybe...other ideas?

Racism in medicine is so perverse that scientists will exploit Black people’s bodies for therapies to benefit white people yet at the same time claim Black people’s bodies are so peculiar that diagnoses & therapies must be “corrected” for race. #FatalInvention #HenriettaLacks
2 sides of my professional life mingle: holds from @ThayerPublicLib #FatalInvention by @DorothyERoberts, reading as STEM librarian at @HarvardLibrary & #MuslimsInStory by @KitaabWorld/Sadaf Siddique + #DancingHands by @margaritapoet & @rafaellopezart for LIS453 at @SimmonsSLIS
@kangmunir @AJohnsonHist Indeed not. We also don’t have smaller brains and lungs, thicker skin, larger muscles or less sensitive nerve endings. Read #FatalInvention by @DorothyERoberts to start. Medicine is rooted in racial differences that justified colonialism, the slave trade & they just won’t stop.
@ZhiVenFongMD @PTMcGann @RyanRLion @acweyand But totally agree that inclusion of non-White participants in trials and guidelines is critical!
Highly recommend #FatalInvention by Dorothy Roberts if you haven’t yet read. It was really eye opening for me.
@hmlbranstetter @BreeNewsome @RzstProgramming Question authority! Challenge received wisdom. Your psychology professor can't back up that claim with data, and shouldn't be allowed to teach as fact that which is unsubstantiated, despite generations of attempts to "intellectualize" racist beliefs. #FatalInvention
@DrJessIsomMDMPH @DorothyERoberts Thank you for your words. Please keep #FatalInvention as your profile picture 🙏🏾 if only one person reads it you’ve made a difference.
I’m so grateful my book #FatalInvention can be helpful to #MedEd students in the movement for anti-racist medicine.
Honored to share a Zoom screen w/ @DorothyERoberts following a @YaleMed M1 discussion of #FatalInvention deconstructing biologized race. Roberts emphasizes the need for social policies >> genetic research to mitigate racial #HealthInequities.
If you tell me you’re a social scientist or researcher investigating health disparities and you haven’t read #FatalInvention by my fantasy Auntie, @DorothyERoberts, I’m judging you.
@DorothyERoberts “If race is a natural division, it is easy to dismiss the glaring differences in people’s welfare as fair... insurmountable; even liberals could feel comfortable with the current pace of racial progress, which leaves huge gaps between white & nonwhite well-being.

@curtisbunn that’s not how virology works folks but thanks. As there’s no coding for “race”, no gene that makes me Black there’s no reason why a vaccine won’t work for all humans if it works at all. Read #FatalInvention by @DorothyERoberts https://t.co/yK3R7pGHbt
