Doctor Sues Tulane University For Race And Gender Discrimination | NBC News NOW

[@BellaWorldAni]

I'd give just about anything to have a doctor like Dr. Dennar who really cares about people. Tulane's 'special review' of Dr. Dennar was obviously a hit job, & it backfired, as well it should.

[@gojuryu3]

I can confirm this story. There's a lot of people here under "re-view" for no "obvious" reason.

[@dannettejackson202]

Dr. Princess Dennar is an exemplary example of truly "Practicing What You Preach"!!!!!!

[@dorisgreen311]

When TF when will this ish end?! Who TF do people think they are with all their entitled superiority attitudes?! NO ONE is better than another. This Efin world does not BELONG to anyone! We are ALL here on borrowed time. When will the playing field be leveled? These statistics continue to be alarming. No one is asking for Blacks to be given anything based on race or contingencies but qualifications as should other races. Man. This ish is getting EXHAUSTING to listen to. We call ourselves human? Who TF left any one of us in charge?

[@rtthomas3667]

No one is "in charge" but Whites are afraid that we're finally realizing that. For years, Whites deemed themselves "in charge" and everyone else just accepted it. No more. We all deserve a fulfilling human experience and we shouldn't/don't have to ask one group if we may partake.

[@tiffanyparrish755]

Gotta fight the good fight, more power to you!

[@jo-lynnherbert590]

I was just considering applying for the doctoral social work program but now I have doubts. I'll check progress. Real change comes with diversity at all levels.

[@edlee2336]

I literally found this as I was applying. I might have to wait on that..

[@billtruttschel]

I bet they've never had a native American director either. I wonder if they are discriminating against native Americans.

[@angeljones3134]

Well they did the same to my newborn daughter . She has brain damage and cerebral palsy. They lie , change medical records and harass my entire family. She is seven year old and in pain every day.

[@archonmarch3965]

Disgusting...this is 2021, but alas a celebration of ignorance and stupidity prevails. Why suspension? D@mn backwards.

[@bobbiewinchester9124]

So sad so sorry 🙏🏾❤️

[@KimMajesty_]

Kuddos Dr. Princess!

[@josephbellott3371]

Tulane requires white students to score 4 points higher on the ACT to be admitted this is funny to me how much of a demand racism is in right now the supply is so short... this story is completely grey in info it’s so vague and I can’t even walk away from this understanding what the problem is... again... u only need a 28 as a black person and u need a 32 as a white student.... for Christ sakes if that doesn’t scream trying to be inclusive idk what does there is no racial issues at this school it’s made up to divide us they love stories like these and people are becoming opportunistic to get a piece of attention by painting themselves as an heroic victim

[@Seniors11]

I hate when people spew out lies for gullible and uneducated people to believe 🙄. First, you’re talking about requirements for entry into Tulane University for undergrad; however, Dr. Denar is specially referring to Tulane School of Medicine. Her lawsuit specifies that their internal medicine/pediatrics residency program as well as many other residency programs offered at Tulane School of Medicine systematically ranks out students that went to a HBCU (look it up if you don’t know what that is) medical school over other medical schools. This is racist system. Hence, this reason as well as many other reasons, are the reason for the lawsuit. Second, I would love for you to provide factual evidence that proves that there is a “requirement” for white students to make a 32 on their ACT and black students a 28 at Tulane. It’s definitely NOT on the website.

[@tiffaniejones5826]

Show evidence that the application states that based on your white race, you must score 4 points higher than black applicants. What are the scoring requirements for Hispanics or Asians or Native Americans? You do know that making requirements based on race is the very definition of racism, right? Provide a link from the university's website showing that your score requirements are based on your race.

[@KNNYD]

What did she do to get suspended? Knowing both sides is important...

[@mitchgarbeno3788]

That’s not how our news works now days.

[@KNNYD]

Sadly true ... news increasingly functions to persuade instead of inform 😢

[@deborahlove1223]

She filed a lawsuit that is why.

[@billtruttschel]

Black people make up approximately 13% of the U.S. population. The fact that 5% of doctors are black doesn't seem terribly egregious to me. And the difference doesn't necessarily imply bias or racism.

[@factsoverfiction7826]

Simple: in an equitable world, the percentages would be more equal. Instead, black doctors are only one-third. But this will change. A few decades ago, women were only 10% of med students. Now 60% of med students are female. So when things change, they eventually change dramatically.

[@billtruttschel]

@@francesca234 If Tulane only accepted students from New Orleans, then the 59% statistic would be relevant. But it's not. In addition, I assume Tulane hires faculty from many different states and countries. The fact that 62% are white does not imply bias or racism. If anything that's a much lower number than universities in the U.S. Stop trying to equalize things across race...it's a game of whack-a-mole.

[@billtruttschel]

@@francesca234 Why focus on skin color at all? Why not just recruit, hire, and promote based on merit, and whatever the skin color make up happens to be, it happens to be? The moment you put a person's race or skin color ahead of their competence is the moment you are favoring one race over another. That's the definition of racism.

[@deborahlove1223]

White males make up 31% of the population in America, hold 80+% of faculty jobs in Academia, 95% of top CEO positions in America, hold 65% of elected positions, and on and on. Sounds like biases and racism to me.

[@billtruttschel]

@@deborahlove1223 Do you think it's biased or sexist that 90% of nurses are female? Because that's the logic you're using.

[@edgarmhtablet]

I hope they are not using the color of the skin to excuse their lack of qualifications and skills. I personally know people who do.

[@tiffaniejones5826]

Yes, and I know people who lack color in the skin who do the same and have done the same for the past 400 years. Affirmative action began long before 65 years ago.

[@mikeballs8403]

Make sum money girl...

[@deborahlove1223]

Dr. Dennar is not trying to make money. She is trying to help end racism and sexism.

[@intoleranttexan5687]

Whatever

[@corysimmons455]

Typical response of a white supremacists

@@corysimmons455 Typical response of a racist in general, who are you to call others racist?

Amen!

Of course she is suing.............this crap is utterly ludicrous should have never hired her to begin with.

[@mytoesarecold5555]

Ok, bud 😆

[@deborahlove1223]

Ridiculous statement.

[@Superfitcouple]

@@deborahlove1223 you are ridiculous, she should be grateful to have the job

Race and gender discrimination do not come together. Gender discrimination comes only within a race or color. Blacks cannot discriminate each other by color. Hence, the next discrimination item is gender and other adjectives follow. e.g. height (tall vs short), build (fat vs thin), etc. etc. And by the way, all human beings are racists - believe it or not.

[@rtthomas3667]

but all human beings are not in positions of power that orchestrate the systemic oppression of less powerful races generation after generation. Herein where the problem lies.
