University of Toronto launches new degree in Black health

Racism has harmed the health of Black people for generations, and its impact on Canada’s health-care system has often led to worse outcomes.

Black communities deserve health care that accounts for their diverse identities, incorporates cultural knowledge and practices, works to dismantle anti-Black racism and ultimately cares for their well-being, said Timothy, who created the program and is the Black health lead at the school.inequities in health care

Some of the core competencies of the program include students developing understandings of the social and historical contexts that have led to a health crisis in the Black community that stems from anti-Black racism. “We’re going to be addressing African Black epistemologies, so ways of knowing and doing,” she said. “It’s an important piece to show there are Black folks who bring knowledge to health, and particularly public health.

I hope it is filled with POC.

I completely agree that Black culture should always have been part of our educational system. It’s atrocious that it wasn’t added to our curriculum until recently. I’m just not sure how valuable this narrow a subject will be. Time will tell. It certainly beats nothing

Degree in woke

the meme is real

Since when are blacks any different than other human beings? This is as stupid as Biden, the demented man in the white house saying you aren't black if you don't vote democrat. Put every black into a box. Put every race and culture into a box. Liberals constantly do that.

Racist

Wellz the medical community is going to shit.

sounds racism

isn't that like saying black health is different than other heaths ? good to say wokeness = racism. Shroud is lifted

So avoid black doctors in the future because they'll have less medical training than other doctors. That's what you're saying.

Why wouldn't U of T want all health administrators to understand the issue? Why create a separate program?

Conjuring lightning? Right?

What? Is black health different than white health?

Hey Liberals, just bring back segregation already. Ffs.

This is racist.

So ridiculoua

“Black health” would indicate black people are different than white people

This is the most racist degree ever existed! Have they differed organs? It's well known that some diseases are more attached to specific races, but this 'black health degree' is gross nonsense! cdnpoli

2lindamaria So blacks are different to whites then? This is just further division and fully intended

What is so inherently wrong with Black people that 'progressives' feel we have to segregate them and treat them like a different species? I thought the woke wanted us to believe that race is a social construct. Doctors should treat all patients equally, regardless of race.

I understand that there is a cult of blacks in the USA

Sounds racist. Very racist.

The pinnacle of anti-racism is more racism

'University of Toronto is launching a Master of Public Health in Black Health to specifically train students entering health-care fields on how to improve the system and provide better care' I don't think that's what's happening here... sounds like a bogus activist grad degree.

Can't believe my eyes jordanbpeterson

So you're saying that Blacks arn't human, but a seperate species that need their own species specific healthcare? Like veterinarians, but specializing in Blacks? Like some vets specialize in horses?

So...black people are different than white people? Does that mean a white doctor can refuse treatment to black people because he isn't qualified to care for black people? Does he need a degree in 'black health'?

Are they gonna update the Hippocratic Oath?

Is this a joke? 🤣😂🤣. Actually it must be if it was concocted by leftists.

Someone tell them that race is a social construct.

This ideology is so regressive and gross.

friewilling segregation)) how cool

soon will be apartheid 2.0) freiwillig

Separate, but superior.

🤔👉🤡

University of Toronto.

More worthless college degrees that do not have any value in the private workforce. Stop pissing away money on this garbage.

What job can you get with this degree?

I wish I could go back to school to redo my math tests and answer whatever the hell I wanted and the show your work part would just be 'my people's ways of knowing isn't up for cultural appropriation bigot'.

This has little to do with race, it is a racketeering front

Bringing back eugenics huh?

Racist American deep south segregationists find a new home with the Woke and white saviours. Racism is alive and well my friends - with progressives.

AmandaLuvsRoses What could go wrong?

Pretty soon will be a separate private healthcare system just for them. Segregation at its finest.

Holy crap.. Segregation on the horizon.. Full racism ahead...

“Black health”😂😂😂. “I have a degree in black health” - “Get the fuck away from me, then. I want to see a real doctor”

Great. They can go Africa to use it.

Don’t we have this already ? I believe it’s called health ? People are people right ? Or are we back to the days of separating and identifying everyone by race ?

Anyone who unironically uses the phrase 'ways of knowing' is not a credible academic. And there is no such thing as 'Black epistemology' nor epistemology of any other color. People who claim those ideas as legitimate, are racists and intellectual frauds. Get a grip, UofT

“……work differently with Black folks”. It’s almost like segregation. Do dark skinned Indians count? What about black Jamaicans? And don’t black people continue to colonize Canada too? Or are Black African Canadians now considered indigenous/native somehow?

Why is a Canadian university trying to rehabilitate the racist pseudoscience of philippe rushton ?

“….African Black epistemologies, so ways of knowing and doing,” Ahhh! I see now that African Black people have a different way of knowing.I thought all doctors used the scientific “Science-based-medicine”.Good to know black doctors use something else. Thanks for the warning.

Ah, surely this will fix everything

Yay! Racism is back!

Fuck... full racism ahead

We need segregation?

Is that different than regular health

what in the world is black health?! another excuse for universities to virtue signal?

Do we have a White Health Degree?

I'll sign up for this useless piece of paper right after I finish up my underwater basket weaving degree.

I would never hire someone with that useless degree. 🤣🤣🤣

so health isn’t health? now there is specific health?

Lol. Woke gone stupid. Do black people have organs etc that others don't?

Liberal universities and woke SJWs gives me the confidence boost and makes me realize my parents didn’t screwup after all raising me.

🙄

That should prepare one for a lucrative career as 👇

Sounds like poor parenting and now she is looking for a payout to supplement her welfare cheques I would love to hear exactly what the student was doing in the class room. I've heard of plenty of cases of students hitting, spitting, screaming, and constant disruption. People talk as if the kid was an angel or as if a classroom should be a free for all. Every freack*ng minority + self hating white liberals use every chance they get to vilify other, primary Christian and conservative white people.
