The Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Health Equity (DEI) at Johns Hopkins Medicine is receiving criticism for releasing a contentious “privilege list” the day before Martin Luther King, Jr. Public outcry was sparked by this list, which implies that nine “social identity groups” get unfair advantages.
The newsletter reads, demonizing white people, Christians, men, cis-gendered straight people, the physically fit, middle-class and property-owning, middle-aged, and English speakers. “Privilege is a set of unearned benefits given to people who are in a specific social group. Privilege operates on personal, interpersonal, cultural, and institutional levels, and it provides advantages and favors to members of dominant groups at the expense of members of other groups. In the United States, privilege is granted to people who have membership in one or more of these social identity groups.”

The letter continues, “Privilege is characteristically invisible to people who have it. People 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. In fact, privileges are unearned and are granted to people in the dominant groups whether they want those privileges or not, and regardless of their stated intent.”
The university’s MLK Day celebration announcement seems to have forgotten Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision of a time when Americans are judged on their character rather than the color of their skin. A judgment based on “social identities” has been incorporated into their event.
Together with this, globalists and marxists are displacing our national identity by flooding the open border with millions of non-English speaking illegal aliens, many of whom are military-age men from hostile or terrorist countries who came here with no intention of contributing to society. This is happening in California and now Texas, where they are forcing whites and other targeted groups into the minority.
According to Fox,
An unearthed newsletter from Chief Diversity Officer Dr. Sherita H. Golden on the January 2024 issue of Monthly Diversity Digest was made public by the @EndWokeness X account. The message featured a number of descriptions deemed “privileged” along with “privilege” as the “Diversity Word of the Month.”
Golden withdrew the newsletter and stated that it was not meant to offend anyone in a new statement released on Thursday, following the message’s viral success.
“The newsletter included a definition of the word ‘privilege’ which, upon reflection, I deeply regret. The intent of the newsletter is to inform and support an inclusive community at Hopkins, but the language of this definition clearly did not meet that goal. In fact, because it was overly simplistic and poorly worded, it had the opposite effect of being exclusionary and hurtful to members of our community,” Golden wrote.
“I retract and disavow the definition I shared, and I am sorry. I will ensure that future messages reflect our organizational values.”
The author has apologized and given more details about why she did what she did. It’s crucial to recognize, though, that the effects of cancel culture differ based on the populations her newsletter reaches.
