Whiteness Running Rampant On Turtle Island

1. Drivel dribble, snot and spittle. If she keeps this up she’ll be a shoe-in for NDP leadership.

   “The emotional labour on the backs of racialized staff and leadership needs to stop …the reality is that microaggressions rooted in racism and colonialism are real and they have an impact,”

2. That was mighty white of her.

3. Let me guess, they asked her to show up for work.

   1. “Nembhard said she was resigning due to “toxicity, hostility, racism, white privilege and white fragility.”

      Reading between the lines, it sounds to me like her boss gave her the opportunity to resign rather than be fired, and she retaliated with this BS.

4. I think she got too much hate-affirming care.
   When they use words like colonialism they really mean “we despise white people and want revenge”.

5. Perhaps she should emigrate to Congo?
   Nice there at this season and very little whiteness?

6. Because Brian Z. shamed us all for falling prey to a Brit comedian’s trolling with his weepy “MS DEI video” … I thought it best to ‘Google’ this woman’s name before making comment.

   Yeah … this one’s REAL. Just as one would expect..

   1. haha,
      we were thinking alike,
      Like so many News stories, where a pic isn’t included with the story my suspicion level rises as that’s a Media tactic to hide from most readers, part of the truth.
      In those cases I’ll do a “Bing image” search, and wha-la, more of the truth comes forward.
      Readers, if you don’t want to click my link, think Caryn Johnson, aka Whoopi Goldberg.

7. Clearly forcing people of colour to interact with white people is socially unjust.

   Every second of it reproduces the trauma of slavery, which Nembhard has only read about in books, giving that she’s living in one of the first places in the world to outlaw it.

8. That’s nice.

   Now tell us the *real* reason she is resigning.

9. So she was the executive director of the Women’s Health Clinic in Winnipeg.

   Wouldn’t that make her the boss? The one in charge of the workplace?

   Which means she resigned to protest her own incompetence.

10. Is the funding provided by the 3 levels of gov’t also too white?

11. Shocked, I tell ya! (re Kenji’s link)
    So what were her qualifications that landed her this plum job in the first place? That’s rhetorical.
    From Carl’s link…

    If it’s a Health facility, wouldn’t you expect to see either a Dr. or a Nurse Practitioner running the place, rather than a political organizer???
