There is no place for these appalling threats of violence by white supremacists targeting health equity leaders. We must call this out and stand up for our physician colleagues doing anti-racist work, and these docs have full support of @AmerMedicalAssn https://t.co/lZqnvhmnvD

@ryanAjoyce So glad you said this. So many white people I’ve met are quick to say, “I went to Africa” or “I’m from Detroit.” The difference being, you were still the dominate and desired trait for many in the room. Many would trade their situation for yours- and all in the space know it.

“The John Henry of social theory is a man striving to get ahead in an unequal society. The effort of confronting that machine leads to stress so corrosive it physically changes bodies, causing Black men to die younger than nearly any other US demographic“ https://t.co/xtgL4iR6yz

The American Medical Association formally recognizes racism as a public health threat, vows to work on “dismantling racist policies and practices across all of health care.” https://t.co/1FW6DWJ4rY

Someone somewhere is sitting in an #incubator making an #app to do #socialinnovation to help poor people while drinking free #kombucha to solve structural racism

Think we'd be protecting speech and saying both sides were wrong if it had been brown-skinned protesters carrying weapons & spouting hate?
