A letter from current CDC staff recently submitted to Director Robert Redfield demands that the agency address structural racism toward Black employees.A letter from current CDC staff recently submitted to Director Robert Redfield demands that the agency address structural racism toward Black employees.
"In light of the recent calls for justice across this country and around the world, we, as dedicated public health professionals, can no longer stay silent to the widespread acts of racism and discrimination within CDC that are, in fact, undermining the agency's core mission," the letter reads. As of Sunday evening, 1,007 staff members had signed the letter — 9% of the agency's workforce — and the number of signatories is growing, Jones says. She adds that at least one division head signed, and about 300 employees chose to endorse the letter anonymously. Only current CDC employees could sign the letter, and each person could sign it only once, according to Jones. Any CDC employee could sign, not just people of color. The racial breakdown of the signatories was not known.
annelucas09 CDC is based in Atlanta . Atlanta is a majority black city . Why not point the finger at Whites ?
WAHOORA C Xx xx
Wonderful, I am sure a greater focus on racism by decrepit, broken, and corrupt institutions will solve our problems, and not lead to continued systemic rot. I'm sorry, but three letter agencies won't solve our social crisis guys.
ThePbla I wish that 1000 employees out of the 5000+ at Philly's Independence Blue Cross would have done the same instead of cowing to CEO DAN HILFERTY fake anti-racism pose. Start 0:55 right before 'you're never going to get out of that area' statement.
What crap! Racism and the CDC? Racism and the government? Really! They bend over backwards to give the job to the 'minority' whatever that is in each particular instance.
no racism is a racist construct endrace
Maybe there is a reason why the cdc is being bypassed right now.
That’s idiotic
Let’s start by replacing Fauci and Redfield. They’re both white.
Forward the 1,000 employees names to the HR Dept, thus documenting their demand. Maintain a file on each. Should their unreasonableness continue, you will have documented the necessity for dismissing each one. They’re getting paid to do a job, not dictate terms to their employer.
Terryelizabet10 I am stand with black peoples lives matters
jawofsteel2014 Racism? At the CDC? No! Really? Are these the same people they carried out the Tuskegee experiment, and who knows what other horrendous experiments They placed on African Americans! 🤷🏽♀️🙄
Time to disband the CDC and start over.
hotdogahg Bahahaha dumb fucks
🙄
Looks like CDC is looking to be defunded too. You guys handle diseases, actual disease yet you are trying to call wrong think a disease. Odd didnt you guys say body dysmorphia isnt a illness?
shaunking Lord God help the liberal idiots in this country. End the racism against whites, and the destructive BLM behaviors. You all keep pushing these good Americans...you are slapping a sleeping giant in the face. 💯
Absurd. No way do I believe this is accurate.
The CDC has enough problems explaining why they blew this and let Americans down. Lost public trust. Lets NOT confuse the real issues hear and cover up the pitiful performance of this one prime agency,playing the race card.
It's so bad people are having to create race hoaxes to keep the narrative alive, lol
Only 1,000? That’s racist. Why not all of them? All white people at CDCgov should immediately resign so a poc can take their position. If they don’t resign, they should check their privilege by demanding a reduction in salary to $15/hr with no benefits.
Oh shut up. The Feds hire a lot of blacks. Many are in high positions. 1000 is like a little grain of salt trying to speak for thousands of fed employees.
Does this address the majority of cases that are fake?
The US is so racist that black immigrants are wildly successful and Asians do better than everyone. Black problems start in black homes and communities.
Lol fake news
I’ve never seen people so upset by action against racism in my life.
'Oh get back to fighting goddamned diseases and not each other.'
Wow! How many institutions are controlled by the deep state... realDonaldTrump wtf
cdc has lost all credibility racism is a natural human behavior trump needs to fire thoes employees or shut down cdc
What the fuck
Defund NPR
defundNPR!
If the racism is sooooo systemic, why do they have to keep creating hoaxes for people to believe it?
Yes i agree.. We should call out racism, starting with BlackLivesMatter. The new KKK.
Show me all 1000 or more signatures. I want to see them.
When the anti racist crowd becomes the bigots they hate
Is it contagious? Can the spread be stopped if we all wear masks? Did it come from China? If so, we can call it the China Discriminating Racism Pandemic. We need a vaccine!
As if public health experts haven’t embarrassed themselves enough the last few months.
Or they could do something useful.
How can you take this seriously.....I mean who's not gonna sign it.....you'd probably get the sack FFS 😂😂
Lmaooooooo
LOL
Yes! Let’s do more identifying, grouping, and judging people based solely on their skin colour, what a terrific concept! I can’t imagine an idea so well thought out having negative ramifications. I’m sure this ideology has never been used for evil... 🙄
We're so racist we elected a black president. Not once, but twice.
Remember Reagan and the air traffic controllers? Hmmmmm?
Please list all the acts of racism you claim actually occurred.
Racism is at an all time low...that's why the uptick of faking racism is at an all time high. Aren't you supposed to be news NPR? Your bias is very clearly left leaning and you don't even try to hide it anymore. I'm old enough to remember when journalists tried to be unbiased.
Seems like the CDC has a lot of time on their hands during this “pandemic.”
And this is why I don’t trust the cdc.
🙄 please.... the health crisis is human trafficking & the media’s silence about it. Yes, all races need to be treated equal but not under the guise of BLM...
Someone please stop my tax dollars from going to this ridiculous propaganda factory.
To bad this racism wasn't addressed by the previous administration?
The CDC needs a big house cleaning. They have failed in every way possible.
You claim institutional racism w/r to institutions your party controls. Pick a side.
NPR is garbage. Marxism is for losers.
Aren’t there already laws against that. Isn’t the CDC enforcing them?
What?
If these 'acts of racism' are real, then the CDC is full of sh*theads we shouldn't be listening to. If these 'acts of racism' are fantasies, then the CDC is full of woke sh*theads we shouldn't be listening to.
NPR has is a racist organization.
DefundNPR
how.about we declare Pretentiousness as a National Emergency ?
Great, then fire everyone who isn’t black if they’re real. Let’s see how that works. 🤡
So much race cucking
More fake news bullshit.
Hey CDCgov, aren't you supposed to be busy working on some pandemic? Or is it not as bad as you're making it out to be?
More useless pandering from the corrupt and unnecessary CDCgov. You don't hear its employees speaking out against the destructive and genocidal vaccine schedule CDC promotes which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of children and injuries to millions more. realDonaldTrump
Stop capitalizing black.
The ratio of blacks killed by cops and racists is lower than the salinity of seawater. If your boat is sinking, try throwing out just the salt and disregard the water and let me know how that works out for you.
Every single one of those 'medical professionals' should loose their fucking license. Just a bunch of hacks whose opinion on anything scientific can not be trusted at all, as clearly, they're political bias completely destroy's any sense of competency.
The CDC thinks its necessary to focus on racism now instead of their COVID19 scamdemic ?
Less than 1/3 of hate crime reports turn out to be true. Some are hoaxes, and some have to do with people reading racism into something that wasn’t racism, a direct result of inserting race into everything. The demand for racism far exceeds the supply.
There's an actual pandemic going on, but there's time for this? So is the pandemic that bad or is the CDC just useless or...
Racism as a Public Health Crisis is brilliant.
Last I checked the CDC had about 13,000 permanent staff positions. This is less than 8%.
Just wow
So tired of this crap!
Why are the leftists at the CDC so racist?
There should be more than 1,000 job openings then once these imbeciles are fired.
horseshit
😂😂😂
CDC is a joke Remember they told us for ao month masks didn't work...
Did I read that correctly?
When the demand exceeds the supply, so NPR has to double down on the propaganda.....
Sure,things to do: - Declare BLM Terrorists - Defund the DNC - Defund CDC, UN, WHO (This one is done!) - DefundUniversities - Defund MSM (NPR included) and social media (shutdown of racist plataforms like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, etc) You're welcome.
It’s BLM that keeps the race issue going.
Translation: More than 1,000 employees at the CDC are card carrying Marxist fan bois. FTFY Also, thanks for the info. It's always good to know who stands where when reform investigations inevitably begin.
If racism is worse now than any time in history, someone explain Obama being elected twice
As a Jew, I have been discriminated against, I have been able to succeed without always blaming someone else. Maybe blacks should try this
Defund NPR Defund CDC Racists
Its such a problem that people have to keep faking it 🤦♂️
It's interesting, when cries of racism everywhere they have to try so hard to find it or manufacture what most so called modern racism is, Marxism with another label.
shaunking Are people really that fucking stupid
If racism is at the CDC, the EEOC should handle it. Racism is not a public health issue. Racism is learned, and race baiters perpetuate the hate for their agenda. You can see that calls for reparations and the like are growing the racial divide. United we stand, Divided we fall!
Why are the racist acts mostly fake?
These bureaucrats are unionized Democrat activists who are subsidized by taxpayers to wage war agains them.
Each one should be fired. At some point control needs re-established.
So they are saying they are racists? Merit based promotions are not racist
You are all losing your minds.
Hilarious!
defundnpr. No reason for you clowns to get taxpayer dollars. Hit up your party if you want money.
This must be the reason all the misinformation has emanated from the CDC. It’s time to clean the CDC of all the racists doctors who are obviously trying to kill people of color.
What a fucking waste of time and resources. The country needs to get back to business, not start creating additional meetings to train regarding nonexistent racism. We already have laws for all of this.
oh for fucks sake
More stupidity coming from the weak
And yet every hate crime you hear about is a hoax.
hey look, public government sponsored media is finding racism within government agencies
🤔Remember that Brain-Eating Amoeba found in Florida? I think it must have escaped the Lab & infected the whole CDC Facility
👏we👏need👏to👏end👏imaginary👏racism👏
They somehow believe that the Federal Government, which gives higher preference to minorities and candidawith disabilities is actively working against those people? I doubt it.
🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
'Racism a Public Health Crisis'
Sorry cdc employees I don’t believe you. It’s just become a problem now? You are joining the political propaganda and mudslinging at the president and his administration. You are awful ppl to use a race of ppl to push politics.
A public health crisis, then the Governor should close the CDC, Lay-off all employees & send them all home until there’s a cure. Good enough for small business, good enough for CDC
Oregon fights 'public health crisis of racism' by mandating only 'whites' must wear masks exempting people of color. I guess racism really does annihilate racism.
Time to disband all these 3-letter agencies. They contribute only stupidity.
Being a paranoid schizophrenic is already classified.
What a bunch of bullshit
This is stupid. It is not the job of the CDC to address anything other than disease. Racism is not a disease nor is it ‘systemic’ or prevalent. Now back to regularly scheduled programming. 🙄
Does that apply to the numerous race baiting hoaxes that go relatively unpunished? If racism is a national health crisis, it shouldn’t have to be manufactured.
How many people were caught mailing angry letters to themselves in just the last week?
Yet don't talk about fake hate crimes. Which is racist BTW
Defund NPR defundNPR
HAHAHAHA raysism is made up bs
Erbody racis.
the same people you obey when you wear your slave mask.
Good. Fire them all.
If the org is really discriminating they should sue, signing petitions is virtue signaling. If there is real discrimination bring it to the courts
Public health crisis only on election years?
I call for the CDC to be cut to 1/10th of its current size or eliminated all together.
Does any of them have any proof?
We need to shut the CDC down completely until we find out what the hell is going on over there! Defund the CDC!
🙄 smh
Wow - nobody's letting this crisis go to waste, huh.
That's the dumbest thing I've ever read...If anything should be above politics it's the science of disease control! Now everything has been dumb down to emotions. EVERYTHING!
I agree. The number of white people being attacked daily by blacks IS a crisis
Utter BS.
It’s not a public health issue though.
ketuesriche
The had to do this because if the rage mob starts calling to abolish the CDC, Trump would probably do it....
And it's only Tuesday
What acts of racism and discrimination? Separate bathrooms?
How the fuck is racism a public health crisis? That makes no sense! What, they're gonna recommend pills that'll stop you from being racist? I thought the CDC was a legitimate agency, but apparently not!
Now it’s time for the President to go down that list and fire each and everyone of them, just saying!!!
This is just confirmation that the CDC is full of self-important political activists rather than doctors and scientists working on health issues on behalf of the American people. Victim bandwagon?
It’s interesting how our most liberal institutions are plagued with racism.
What a flippin joke. They're so stupid. Once everything comes out they're going to look like the idiots they are.
🤦♂️
ongoing As in, even during the last administration?
It's so bad that multiple people including famous ones have been having to fake hate crimes.
I’m happy to hear you’re addressing the ‘ongoing and recurring acts of racism and discrimination’ commited by Antifa and BLM. It’s out of control
Fire them all, sick of this crap. Go read about history and try some critical thinking. Learn about other countries and cultures.
Please add a 1000 more to the unemployment numbers, toute suite
You’ve got to be kidding me... You idiots are writing this nonsense in the middle of an actual epidemic which has killed 130,000 people, shut down schools, shut down people’s businesses, destroyed lives, cost people everything...
The gaslighting and far reaching ramifications of this is astonishing.
Job security letter.
What utter bullsh*t! It’s a federal agency for christ sake! They need to quit inventing stuff to worry about and get back to doing their f*cking job!
Sounds like the CDC is a systemically racist organization that needs to be defunded.
That's about 1 in every 15 CDC employees. But nice job trying to make it sound like it's an institutional mandate.
That is just stupid. How about CDC focus on this pandemic before you do anything else
More victims.....beget more victims....all from a false narrative ginned up by the media and democrats. Happens every time there is an election coming. Useful idiots.
Defund the CDC. Ridiculous lazy libs
There is no greater Deep State bastion in the federal government than the CDC. The State Department is close, but right now, the CDC takes the prize.
DefundNPR DefundTheThoughtPolice AllLivesMatter
We need to cut the Federal Government a lot.
Name these 'racists.'
There's so much racism, people are having to fake hate crimes to bring attention to it lol
Truly frightening. One would think employees of the CDC would be halfway intelligent
Another politicized agency, imagine that. Perhaps they should focus on doing their jobs correctly?
I thought the problem with CDC was they funded the weaponization of viruses that kill a million-plus people?
The fact that this is a big focus at the CDC is just more proof that COVID is a bit over hyped.
Please list a few of these racism and discrimination attacking against black people? So far only see fake claim. Bubba Wallace NASCAR fake loose and Jussie Smollett fake hate crime. ( Jussie Smollett was hate crime against white American, that is true, should be charged)
Things that never happened.
No, racism isn't a public health crisis, race-bating and hoaxes are a public health crisis. FTFY
Fuck the CDC. I trust them the same amount as I trust the WHO. None.
Racism is not a public health crisis. All recent attacks have been hoaxes
Then no more lock downs or masks.
This is the dumbest shit i have seen today. But its still early.
NPR and CDC are powerful arguments for reducing federal outlays
So we can be racist now if we get a note from the doctor?
Racism is not a 'health crisis' Seriously, this is pathetic
Is it just racism toward one specific group? Or everyone?
If you are going to call this a public health crisis you better back it up with evidence and give us uprising trends over the past 25 years. Or you can simply tell us masks don't work again for the umpteenth time and provide us with no evidence as per your usual way.
It sounds more like the problem exists within NPR. You are obsessed with race. Perhaps you should focus your diversity training in-house and stop hiring over-educated guilt ridden white leftists. Moral panic among leftists is the real epidemic.
I think violent, black crime is a much greater threat, but sure, lets address the MORE THAN HALF of all violent crime committed by 13% of the population later because racism is the real problem. What a joke.
Why sign a letter? If it's really a problem, the racist cowards should just quit.
It's such a problem that people are constantly caught faking it. GFY.
Omg racism is now a public health crisis. I'm not sure if we have to wear masks yet but we should definitely stay inside until further notice. TrustTheExperts VoteBlueNoMatterWho Karin4Congress
Utter bullshit.
BLM, Inc, has their talons in the CDC now. No credibility, along with WHO.
They should probably find new jobs. Sounds awful. JustQuit
Bring on the boogaloo, can’t wait to start twittering all these communist , my wife asked me if I would be ok twittering people and I said I will only have to tweet communist so it’s ok.
Racism is not a health crisis, they want it listed as such so they can get their doctor to say they suffer from it and it prevents them from working which then leads to filing for disability which then leads to a government check. Health crisis-bull shit.
These are the morons supposedly saving us from a virus. It’s all rigged. Lift restrictions
Pretty soon farting will be condemned by the CDC because of Covid risk. The media will shame people that fart. All farters will be fined. It'll be ok for certain demographics to fart, but not others. NPR will write 40 articles on it.
Proof that everything is political, and that activists are employed throughout every agency. The President should disregard anything that comes out of this agency, or Fauci's mouth.
Out of nearly 11,000 employees
DefundNPR
Racism isn't a health issue. For fucks sake!!!
Y'all didn't listen when terrycrews told you NOT to make it Black Lives Better? A white woman was killed for saying All Lives Matter but that's probably not the type of racism you're concerned with..
Fire those 1000+ racists who signed the letter.
Oh boo hoo. Sticks and stones etc. Bathe regular and talk less loud.
'Sir, here's a list of 1,000 employees with WAY too much damn time on thier hands.'
Fore these CDC 🤡🤡🤡
The demand for racism exceeds the supply. What else explains all the hoaxes?
Maybe they should focus on, oh I don’t know, ChinaVirus. If there is a racism problem at the CDC, sounds like an internal issue. I doubt the letter says anything about racism against whites by Democrats, so it has little meaning outside of propaganda articles like this.
Sure.... because we wouldn't want to focus on the failure your agency is when it comes to your primary mission.
Lmao
its so bad that the hoaxes are getting worse.
Now we know which 1000 employees need to be fired. Stupid and uninformed.
What about all the fake hate crimes?
Stupidity
No wonder they screwed up COVID19. Liberals always fail.
Defined the CDC
Racism is learned behavior and disgusting but most certainly not a disease. No wonder the CDC has shit the bed so hard in this pandemic. Stick to science guys.
Agreed the hate against white people is completely out of hand lmao
It's time to declare liberal wokeism a public health crisis.
Fake. Fake. Fake. Imaginary racism can’t be fixed.
LOLOL Racism as a public 'health' crisis!!!
Social media is more of a public health crisis than racism.
Racism exists, no question. Every normal person with half a brain, media outlet, and government law is against racism.
This is why the CDC is a joke
That’s stupid!! Just saying
So this is why the CDC can't manage to make a useful flu vaccine. They've been hiring SJW morons.
Thousands of racist witches under the bed.
really? like what?
Such a big problem that people need to make up fake racist claims to say racist exists.
PROOF, PLEASE, PROOF!
There’s not enough racism to fill all the orders so people are having to fake it these days.
Happy Tuesday! Simply put, ignore all this hate speech online. Just block it out. Ignore the negative. Surround yourself with the positive. My living motto.
Yikes. there’s this many mentally ill CDC employees? No wonder this agency, like so many others, has been exposed for politicizing the data/recommendations.
What garbage.
NPR is 90% white. Look in the mirror.
This is getting to be an attack on white people. Not good.
That’s a great fukn idea Put the CDC on racism. I can’t believe it took us this long to come up with that. We’re finally going to find a cure. I bet we have a vaccine on 11/04/2020
Blah blah blah
FOR THE LOVE OF THE ALMIGHTY
Very suspicious to have race issues springing up in the election year Joe claims 'you're not black' if you vote for Trump.
What a joke
But it’s not a public health crisis. It’s not even a crisis of any kind, it’s all over blown nonsense thanks to the media. It’s time to become adults now
Fake bullshit
Good to know 1,000 employees are dumb and racist. Fire them all.
This is a moral panic, and a stupid one at that.
Oh, bullshit
That's the ticket, more quotas.
🤡🌍
It will be interesting seeing what’s been going on at the CDC now that it has called attention to itself. Will it go the way of WHO?
A white woman was murdered by BLM, her family was then harrassed and mocked by BLM, now they can't hold a remembrance for her because BLM people are intimidating them
High
Complete bullshit
More as 7 more.... Usually phrased as 'accusations of' 'ongoing and recurring acts of racism and discrimination' against Black employees, right?
This is nonsense
What do you call the little black baby that was shot in the stomach by black criminals in NYC?
BREAKING: At least 100 CDC employees are fucking idiots.
CDC just keeps getting it all wrong
Bhahaha. You (the media) can't even pandemic right. 😅😅
Better idea, abolish the CDC. They’ve been overtaken by power/money hungry monsters who care more about special interests who pay their foundation VS children’s safety. The CDC vaccine schedule has 72 by age 18. Accumulation/safety of injected alum salts has never been studied.
I’m glad the CDC is tackling the important issues. Not like there is anything else going on.
Sounds like there are at least a 1000 people at the CDC that need to be fired.
If they didn't sign these people would either be fired or targeted.
13% of the population commits 550k violent crimes against 61% of the population. That 61% commits 60k against the 13%. That 13% is over 50x more likeley to violently assault white people and over 35x mor likely to MURDER them.
FakeNews
How about we deal with the virus that has the potential to wipe out the species, before we work on their mental health issues.
Everything has to be politicised. That is the strategy to divide the nation and prepare society for the violent revolution marxists are dreaming about.
It's such a public heath crisis that we continually see fake racist hoaxes week after week...
Hoax hate crimes are a public health crisis.
You can't fix racism with more racism. I use the traditional definition of racism, not the new one.
Black americans are more priveliged then 99% of the world
This is a perfect example of little credibility the CDC has. As well as NPR. I will be making sure to inform people to never donate a nickel to them
What bullshit, is everyone virtue signaling nowadays
Defund NPR
Glad to see my tax dollars that the federal government prys from my fingers that are worked to the bone so I can have a humble life is helping stop diseases. END PUBLIC UNIONS
We’re doomed if this is what the CDC is concerned about
🙄 Defund yourselves.
People will sign anything.
TIL that there are 1,000 employees at the CDC that need to GTFO, and be replaced by more sane humans.
The United States is the least racist country on earth. If an individual is accused of racism, their life can be ruined. Everyone goes out of their way to prove they're not racist.
There’s no racism crisis in the US. It’s all made up. No one believes this.
can we some evidence please?
Which explains how the CDCgov has been so wrong about so much. Another affirmative action govt jobs program, about like
And...the CDC gets even more embarrassing
And if you don’t sign, you are a racist/sarc.
You guys are racists in the way piano players are pianists. 🤦♀️
What happened to NPR?
Defund NPR.
Oh, thats why the CDC blew it.. theyre not a serious organization. Just another leftist post college club.
Lmaooo
WHAT
🗣 BULLSHIT
Sick of this shit.
The CDC needs to be ignored. They are more interested in people's feelings than they are about actual science.
Wtf lmao
Interesting.
The victim culture is alive and well.
Well, my days of not taking the CDC seriously are certainly coming to a middle
Blacks are killing Blacks highest in homicides.Aborted black babies 1,150 per week . So who’s at fault is it for racism as public health crisis shaunking
Yes, lets task a health organization with tackling a societal problem. That oughta do it.
At the CDC too?😲You would expect or at least hope for better than that. Wow
CDC failed period
LOL. Like Jussie ? Bubba Wallace? Rachel Dolezal ? Shaun King ? The solution to your problem is Stop Making Stupid People Famous.
1000 damn!!!!
Let’s see if we can get the Democrats on there as well
How do you get tested for racism? And obviously Trump failed us again by not having enough of these test kits on hand! Gross!
Accurate but racism kills other people too! My friend's mom was killed by systemic racism giving a free pass to Tim Cook & Eric Schmidt, with FAKE News cheering them on! Good reason for Trump to win, they did it to him.
shaunking Until everyone has a seat at the table we will continue to fail evolve or succeed
JackieEspinal4U
shaunking How much credibility should the CDC have if they declare racism a public health issue? Not a good look, NPR.
Finally
DrGJackBrown I’m rather disgusted, disappointed and dismayed that it’s only ca 1,000 out of 10,000 employees. 1% is both embarrassing and shameful.
Why not just sign a letter demanding that all white males be rounded up put in privilege prison? Seems like this would a far more efficient way to reach the goals which seem to be getting pushed in the current climate.
Racism and ablism. Please take that into account too.
DrGJackBrown Nomad574
We were in agreement until you called racism a public health crisis. No, we have a moral and spiritual crisis exposing our racism which can destroy this country faster than a virus. Don't compare your black life to a disease, please😷
Racism is a virus pervasive in all levels of society. Redfield needs to resign. The people making dismissive comments in this thread can fuck off. 🙄 EnoughIsEnough
Really a fucking shame that in 2020 human beings have not evolved to the point where race is a non factor....
What kind of mask will be needed to prevent this bogus sickness?
You should not be receiving a dollar in fed cash 💰
All mid-level employees experience discrimination no matter their skin color/ black poeple have more covid cases CAUSE THEY SPENT THE QUARANTINE PARTYING AND NOT RESPECTING ORDERS/ everyone jumping on (sometimes) NON EXISTINV RACISM BAND WAGON/ enough already
These bureaucrats are as bad as the WHO.
Got to do something about you all’s racist president who sets and okay’s the racist treatment.
Sifill_LDF Need more media attention for support. Taxpayers pay CDC salaries.
Sifill_LDF It is and they should
Sifill_LDF On top of everything else Trump's CDC is poisoning America from within.
And the clock on the republic imploding somehow ticks faster.
CDC and fake news needs to go
Hell yeah. Do it Dr Redfield, you’re neutered rn and will be fired anyway . Make a difference on your way out.
Marxists.
That's surprising during this current administration. 😏
Lol.
There are a lot of really ignorant and uneducated tweets about this, but as someone with an MPH who has read the research I’d just like to say, if you don’t think racism is the root of most health issues in the Black community, please take the time to educate yourself. Thanks!
I don’t get it anymore. I read an article where a doctor said they see racism in their medical practice everyday. Example was more black babies die than white babies due to hunger, lack of employment, ... I see this not as racism but poverty. There are a lot of white poor also
A black CDC employee not too long ago (4 years maybe) disappeared and was found drowned many days later. I do believe this was no accident and it was swept under the proverbial white rug. So, this inequity doesn't surprise me.
WokeKindergarten
Trumps agency now
We are in a clown matrix. Racism a public health crisis? We elected a black man president TWICE. You ever been to literally any asian country or germany or anywhere not africa or America? There are no black people hardly anywhere and nowhere near positions of power.
Maybe the CDC could do its actualy job and issue a statement on vitamin D disparities among race!
hey while you’re at it see if you can explain covid to republicans (esp trump).
It Is About Time.
DefundNPR
More government “ he hurt my feelings by telling me to do my work” is not racism, it stops fraud waste and abuse
Oh for ducks sake.
Why not everything else is Racist! By the way the name Martin Luther King is a torch!If your going to erase everything thats Amercan History why should i have to read a street sign in every community across this country called Martin Luther King! Get rid of it! Its Racist!
Of course where's the national media coverage of this? Meanwhile the national cable networks run the same stories over and over again. Pitiful. Not to mention BreonnaTaylor is just completely forgotten about now these by these same networks
ThabusyBee It's a shame. Everything he touches dies.
Uh oh, it was toxic? Sounds serious and not at all boilerplate.
Moral Panic via woke social contagion.
ROFL WTF BUTTHURT
It's not racism, it's drug addiction, creating useless families without fathers, that ought to be called out as the public health crisis. Those stupid letter writers need to stand up to the Narcos. That will sort out the wheat from the chaff, PDQ.
This is the most stupid shit I’ve ever heard... this is getting old. Women have been oppressed since the beginning of time... they have a bigger bitch than anybody.
CDC is just as useless as NPR, nothing but meat puppets
If you are a bad employee regardless of color you are going to face consequences
Dumb!!!
How many employees? This is so fucking stupid
Lol
Just do your fucking jobs you hacks.
vanitaguptaCR HR40
deray WOW.
deray Who could have predicted?
So the custodial staff then? Because I’m thinking most of the doctors and technicians are likely asian and Hindi....so who are the racists?
It’s important the CDC remains relevant and as science based as possible. I hope they reject this nonsense.
CDC HQ-Ed In Ga. Ga have yet to deal with hate issues . So yet hate is alive there . Eat to live , drink water , and excercise. Do go to these dr or cdc if possible
A health crisis? Isn’t there one, kind of major, going on right now?
lfkraus It's about fuking time!!!
lfkraus Move the CDC out of Georgia. Serious. That state doesn’t deserve it respect it.
Told ya. TD that dude is worse than the AC.
GTHOOH
Resign🤷🏻♀️ so done with all of this bullshit!!! Complain for everything!!!
you posted cringe
Racism is never justified . However the biggest Public health crisis ( emergency) is black on black crime! But lets keep distracting and playing the race card instead . It’s a good distraction.
Any organization where racial becoming a dominant issue has productivity problem. It is time to tear done the CDC and start fresh again. It also allow those who complaining a chance to find a better position.
It's good to see CDC's doing more to end racism, but, when the system wants to help, the poor/the oppressed, I'm always a little suspicious as to where is it all going. Something makes me feel that the system may use the BLM movement for their own gain.
Fn ridiculous. Black people make up 10% of management and your complaint is its not representative of the population, as your reasoning for racism?
In a just world they’d all be fired. Enough of this insanity. These are not serious people.
What is this nonsense 🤦♂️🤡🌎
When you select your employee based not on qualification, but race, gender, etc you got unqualified employee. This why ours government so slow, so stupid, and so unqualified.
We need a new CDC.
iPicNews whatever happened to the young man outta GA that went 'poof' a coupla years ago? i know there's been a daily barrage of news, this one just dropped off the radar for me. don't recall if he was found dead or alive...
So is their anti semitism. Do something about that.
So we’ll be shitting down the CDC then.
I agree we must put an end to racism in the NBA next we fix the NFL then Baseball. I say let’s attack racism in Hollywood then definitely boycott the music industry. Who’s with me? retweet this so it goes viral. We must stop systemic racism it all over the place
Covid is an epidemic....racism is not...given our population it is rare
Joe biden will not be president, stop with all this noise, youre embarrassing yourselves
N.P.R. really stands for National Propaganda Radio.
NPR stands for National Propaganda Radio.
So the coronavirus has disappeared? Plague over? Way to bury the lede, NPR.
Defund the CDC.
How are you going to prove people weren’t promoted due to race alone? Don’t you think this issue has gone overboard? CDC is one of the most liberal organizations in the world. Isn’t it time to stop complaining?
Oh for cryin out loud
Good god. Please spare us this one time.
Let’s take a close look at upper management within the CDC to see how representative of the black population they are. Then fire the white people at the top and cancel their pensions. For starters.
Lol
One corrupt organisation reports a controlled narrative from another corrupt organisation in order to make it look like America has a huge racism problem, whilst studiously avoiding real news 😆 TheGreatAwakening
The CDC isn’t a political organisation or at least it shouldn’t be Like the W.H.O, it has a vital role that must be free of prejudice, ideology & corruption. The W.H.O showed the world what happens when you lose impartiality. People die Hopefully the CDC sacks them all
Get over yourselves
defund the CDC and start a replacement organisation that isnt infested with marxists
Fire all these people incapable of higher thought.
1000s fools
Discrimination at the workplace is already illegal. Why don't they just start a lawsuit against the CDC and collect? It's easy money.
Racism doesn't exist, now go do something actually worthwhile.
China is getting to them through Unconventional Warfare
Are people really believing all this stuff? Wow hope it’s realDonaldTrump landslide in November on the simple notion of the bull crap the left puts out
Ok but, don’t facts matter...or?
For the past five years the mainstream media has focused on any act of racism a white person has done to a black person, racism would end in five minutes if they start focusing of black on white racism.
This is by far the stupidest thing I have ever heard...just wow!!!
The only people who are obsessed with race are racists. Guess what you are, NPR?
This kind of explains a lot of the incompetence.
Everyone is racist. In-group preferences and pattern recognition are natural instincts.
Im beginning to see the problem here. When was the last time the CDC actually worked to Control Diseases?
Gimme a break. How stupid.
Defund NPR
How about they just do their jobs.
🤣😂🤣
Pure hyperbole
Oh ffs....
There's definitely an infection in our institutions and its a danger to us all. Its intersecrional theory and it will destroy our society
An absolute fucking joke.
There is more than one demographic in the country. There is more going on in the country than one narrow set of interactions between two demographics. No one has a monopoly on human suffering. Attempts to claim otherwise are an attempt to monopolize the distribution of empathy.
JustG1017 I am very excited to see present CDC leadership called out on internal personnel racial disparities and grievances.
When ideological dogma begins to infect scientific inquiry that does not bode well for the future.
The first thing to do is to get rid of affirmative action hiring at CDC and be completely color blind.
We live in the stupidest of times.
😂😂Good lord
A “public health crisis”?
Was thinking along the same lines, except declaring this mass delusion called white fragility / anti-racism a mental health crisis.
Defund NPR!
Hilarious. I hope the leftists who run the CDC are enjoying a taste of the left-wing mob.
What bullshit.
R.I.P. CDCgov
It’s time to defund and disband the CDC. Shut it down!
Fight the power! CDCgov For you to be a leader in the detection and prevention of disease, you are perpetuating a fraud of an organization. DO YOUR JOB! SHUT THIS COUNTRY DOWN!
There is indeed a strong culture of both racism AND ableism at CDC. It's surprising /npratc didn't reference prior report by Atlanta NBC 11AliveNews, which also released formal audit of widespread discrimination at CDC, as contained in following:
All well and good except IT IS A LIE. the only racism going on is BLM, antifa and Political (dems against rep). Sorry guys....
That’s would be an effective first step.
They should have been declared racism a public health emergency. Especially since so many racists use their hate to murder innocent people.
There is indeed a strong culture of both racism AND ableism at CDC. It's surprising did not reference prior report by Atlanta NBC .11AliveNews, which also released a formal audit of the widespread discrimination at CDC contained in the following:
This is so common in our workplaces . This systemic racism must end. SPEAK UP SPEAK OUT!
Is this serious or a parody? You want the Centre for DISEASE Control to label racism a health crisis. This woke shit is going too far.
How many employees are there
Same shit, different day!
Are you going to start providing more affordable healthcare&in network providers for low SES communities? What about eradicating implicit bias in the health care fields that lead to malpractice&neglect? Unless moves are being made, all this is doing is pushing faulty narratives
These fools font care bout science. It's all about bein a victim now
What in the world I am I alone? This is absolutely idiotic. I am scared.
Yet when I applied for an UNPAID position w the CDC after my undergraduate... I was told no because the position was only for a minority they wanted me until found out I'm white. The nation has a ton of work to do on equality all the way around... guessing mostly old white men?
BerniceKing Not only is it a public health epidemic it needs to be in the DSM-V as a personality disorder & an ocd condition. It's a true sickness that impedes normal human funcrions, distorts reality & incites mood changes. Affecteds are usually constantly talking about race issues.
GOP= ALTRIGHT (KKK).
_AshLake_ All this supposed racism where there are groups within the agency for black emploeees only? That get extra training and ways to network? To apply early for promotions? Bs
Bullshit
Now your reaching...
Looking at the letter, it sounds like they are mad about not getting enough jobs. That certainly might not be the result of racism.
🤮
rbjets69 So the CDC is rife with racism? Should we not expect than when the POUTUS is a Confederate sympathizer? racism
The constitution is one for all. Period. Stop this non sense.
CDCgov CDCDirector
iNews9K TRANSLATION: Plans for Redfield statue on hold.
BS blatant BS, saying hi, bye, how are you, all calls for epidemic of racism, Becareful .
Um, this is new and encouraging - noted.
Since there is no systemic racism I guess that means they will be doing what they always do - NOTHING.
Liberalism is a public health crisis and we have the bodies and destruction to prove it.
This is a lie racism isn't a public health crisis right now losers. And we never have been
Due to staff cuts, NPR will be recycling the same article with minor changes. All headlines must conform to the following template: “____ Employees Call Out Toxic Culture of Racial Aggression”
Let me translate that, after being exposed for what they really are “fighting racism” is the only way they can fleece Americans out of more money and expand their permanent bureaucracy.
kimmaytube Not only is racism a public health crisis, it’s also a threat to our national security.
I agreed with you 100!
RabidBadger Wow.
The Federal government is the most racist employer in the country. If a minority is not willing to break the rules, including being an office harasser, they are not wanted on the job. The subject matter expertise and interpersonal skills of a minority mean nothing.
Elitist lecturing us about racism & discrimination 'Morning Edition' aka 'White Edition'
CDCgov declare racism a public health crisis now! realDonaldTrump is the EnemyOfThePeople
Mainstream media's stupidity is the real health crisis. LamestreamMedia
Muh oppression
It's the beginning of the end of the US. We should just fire everybody in the CDC
Need to clean house at the CDC starting with Redfield!
BBJRanter
Ridiculous
Black and Hispanic people are the ones walking around without masks. It’s not racism. It’s maskism, healthism, lifism. We should have made it law for them NOT to wear masks. Then they’d continue to look at whitey and say FU, but with masks on.
NPR is a far left racist radio news org. Government should defund them.
I know a lot of the silent majority support President Biden. The loud Lysol Drinkers who like Dementia Donald Trump are angry because Double Deficit Donald Trump makes it hard to support him.
We should also sue the CDC for not pointing out the obvious sexism breast cancer has against women.
Toxic in a Toxic place? Damn!
NPR keeps pushing racism...it is like the only story they know how to write. Yet if you take a few minutes and search or just ask most minorities they will tell you they don't or haven't encountered racism...almost like it is just a narrative to inflate a story.
defundNPR
onyxgod32
This agency must not display any racism, favoring any group over any other group will not be tolerated!
There are very stringent regulations against discrimination of employees in a U.S. federal government organization. I’m calling bullshit on this one.
CharlesMBlow Sounds like a plan..
Great. It's a shame what the present fascist administration is doing.
And on this day stupid reached a new level
Omg! The CDC is racist?! There's only one acceptable solution... DefundCDC Do it now!
This letter is racist against non-black minorities.
Omg! It is very, very, sad! Can we just DefundtheCDC
Sign of the times...A sin and a shame that the organization that is needed for the good of everybody could be accused of mistreating anybody!
Sounds like the CDC like most governmental agencies is just another failure. If they decide racism is somehow a public health crisis, they should be immediately defunded. NPR should lose all public money immediately. Progressivism is THE public health crisis of our day.
So the cdc is racist? Will they tell us who there is racist and what they did? Or just use racism as a nebulous force?
We can't wait until we've solved every public health issue to address systemic medical racism. Otherwise, we'd NEVER address it. The COVID-19 crisis and medical racism are concurrent issues. We can't effectively solve one without the other.
Just in case you thought the CDC was serious about 'Disease Control'.
I am sorry to hear about racism at the CDC, & glad that 1K people stood up to it. I pretty much quit paying attention to the CDC since the pandemic. I get my guidance from CIDRAP
even the coronavirus is racist now
What a joke
It is racist virus, made in China, has stamp of approval from CCP.
I'm very against racism but this seems like an odd priority at CDC right now. Then again, Trump has sidelined them from doing anything about Covid, so maybe they need something to do.
katiecouric Criminalize words of hate that categorize humans by their linages relationship to the equatorial line. Trumpence 2020 where citizens weaponize a tax system to root out bad acting tax evaders
Redfield should resign-NOW!
Is this why the CDCgov tried to destroy evidence that suggested black boys were more likely to get autism from vaccines?
The biggest problem in the CDC is incompetence. CDC bungled the response to Covid_19. They failed to test early, failed to allow private labs to test, failed to advise wearing masks when other countries did, failed to be sure we had PPEs. They failed to protect America.
Well they should also call out the administration for down playing. Intelligent doctor's recommendations
So you're saying there's a 1000 person cult within the cdc?
Redfield needs to go for a variety of reasons including the CDC release of contaminated and ineffective Covid tests!
Racism occurs everywhere on our planet
Not one concrete example of racism in the article. Only claims of 'pervasive and toxic culture of racial aggressions.' They demand the diversification of senior leadership. and apparently only black scientists can figure out what is join on in black communities. smh
Who the hell are they hiring? I know redneck roofers who are more sensitive to people of color
Terrible!
Will there be more rounds of “shutdown” until a vaccine for racism is found
In other words, admins are desperate to divert attention and make something political
Does unequal outcome equate to racism? In order to increase diversity we have to tackle poverty & public edu. Only 40% of blk ppl graduate from college & an even lower w/adv degrees. We need a more robust pool of eligible blk candidates across all industries.
after we had a black president in office for 8 years... sure.
Lol! Apparently stupidly is contagious
Here’s CDC director, Robert Redfield, admitting that he knew about Covid-19 cases in the US back in 2019
Good. There is literally nothing else the CDC should be doing right now except dealing with this...
In no way is racism a public health crisis and if so what will BLM supporters do being they are the racist in America.
How many people work for the cdc anyway?
Is it Fauci? Sounds like a problem.
Good luck, good luck! Don’t give up the fight! In solidarity.
Oh FFS!
Democrats are crippling African American people. Sad to see
C_Wille
This kind of nonsense is making me lose all sympathy. I have no interest in the issues of unreasonable zealots who have no grasp on reality.
Many agencies have past over blacks for promotions to whites - mostly all news media employees are whites too - why ?
THIS, is called 'JUMPING ON THE BAND WAGON'. I DON'T BELIEVE IT WHATSOEVER.
hey, CDC, Focus. Maybe something else in the country is happening that is more important, that is more central to the mission of the CDC. I'd be interested in an article looking at how much time was wasted by the CDC on things like gun ownership that led to 150k Covid19 deaths
rename Levittown
Wtf ? They need to get back to what they know. Diseases. Not politics. This is ridiculous.
A liberal biased organization discriminating? 😱
Can they declare the media a public health crisis while they're at it? Why on earth do my tax dollars fund your organization?
He always seems like a guy that runs a really annoying d&d campaign
I'm so excited for all this supposed racism to disappear on November 4th.
if they make racism a Public Health crisis, then they also need to add liberalism as a Public Health crisis.
I'm so excited for all this racism to disappear in November 4th.
And that’s how we know the cc’d is a bunch of political outraged hacks!
Yeah, this sounds like bullshit.
The director is a Trump chump. What does anyone expect?
