AntiBlack Racism in Medicine. We Shaving edges.

[SeedsofBAMM @SeedsofB]

We continue to be concerned about how racial violence kills our patients and leads to the loss of equity leaders such as Dr. Danielson. We stand in solidarity & demand accountability and Justice from @seattlechildren . If covid has shown as anything, its that Black Doctors Matter

[SeedsofBAMM @SeedsofB]

Academia was home of Krug just like it was home for Dolezal. When will we talk about universities and how they are active and complicit in validating Blackfishers as "racial experts" #JessicaKrug

[SeedsofBAMM @SeedsofB]

#JessicaKrug is what happens when you center and value Black experiences when they come in white bodies.

Our work to transform @UWMedicine has similarly met our students with retaliation, hostility & respectability politics from white women all bc we are standing ground against entrenched antiBlackness. When we fight to remove antiBlack faculty, we mean it! Petition still in bio!

[SeedsofBAMM @SeedsofB]

We are deeply disturbed by admin's decision to retain Drs. Kost and Cabrera as UWSOM college faculty, as individuals with a documented history of violent anti-Blackness should not be allowed to mentor incoming medical students at UWSOM in any manner. 7/7

[SeedsofBAMM @SeedsofB]

#BlackInTheIvory #MedTwitter We are disappointed but unsurprised by UWSOM admin's official response today to the demands we've issued in the past few months. We've updated our website to include their official response, and our respective reply. 1/7

[SeedsofBAMM @SeedsofB]

As their response shows, the only thing which admin has been consistent about is their inability to explicitly support Black students, overall lack of transparency, and retaliation against the Black students who have been advocating for themselves and Black folks as a whole. 6/7

When will the history of paying white folks for antiracism work end? How do you both get paid and profit from a system built by your ancestors? Retweet @UWMedicine , we want answers and overdue checks!

[SeedsofBAMM @SeedsofB]

Finding out that White students at UWSOM have been for years getting paid for antiracist work Black and Brown students have been doing. There are no words....

#BlackintheIvory We learn in medicine to follow the evidence. But when we mentioned BlackTransWomxn are disproportionately impacted by violence, faculty resulted in calling black students "aggressive" and "bullies". @UWSOM_UP

[SeedsofBAMM @SeedsofB]

#BlackintheIvory When we receive "We support Black lives" emails, from the same faculty and deans that have told us "they are too busy to deal with anti-Blackness" as they walk into hospitals where that anti-Blackness kills us the most. @UWMedicine @uwmnewsroom @fac_uw
