So I was sent this "Stunning and Brave" presentation today at work. It was all about race and medicine. Like an asshole I clicked the link. (Seing as how I actually have published research on this matter, because like genes are a thing) However as I listened to this person's 'story' some shit didn't add up.
First, she claimed to have memories of being 5 months old. My oldest memories come in at about 1-2 years. Very few people remember back that far. I know of no one who can remember being 5 months old.
Second, claimed the KKK put a cross on fire at her house in Atlanta in the early 80s. Having actually lived through that time, absolute bullshit.
Now what gets me is that a group of adults (medical doctors no less), no one called her out on it (I was not actually present). I mean I've seen a lot of bullshit in the DEI push, but this one takes the cake (also when someone who is the head of medicine somewhere talks about their struggle with racism to succeed after going to prestigous universities and private schools all their lives).
