Ohio State Makes Nursing Students Learn About White Privilege, Police Brutality
A mandatory webinar for students studying nursing at Ohio State University (OSU) teaches police have “assaulted” racial minorities in the U.S. for generations, and that middle class white nurses will give lower-quality care to poor non-whites.
The webinar, titled “Naming and Addressing Racism: A Primer,” is a mandatory component of “Cultural Competence in Health Care: U.S. and Global Contexts,” a required course for nursing students, according to Campus Reform. It doesn’t appear to be unique to OSU, as it was created by the American Public Health Association (APHA) last July for use across the country.
According to students who took the webinar, the lessons dwell at some length on the various indignities and “microaggressions” suffered by non-whites in the U.S. every day — whether its extra attention from shopkeepers who fear shoplifting or indifference from waiters who expect to be stiffed on tips. Some aspects of the webinar can be gleaned from its slideshows, available online.
“All communities have been assaulted by police for generations. Now that we have cell phones, we’re learning more about it,” says Morehouse School of Medicine associate professor Camara Phyllis Jones, who appears in the webinar.

What a crock and waste of time. There’s no such thing as “white” privilege. It’s called hard work. It’s called achieving in spite of adversity. Anyone can do it. It isn’t easy because it isn’t supposed to be easy. Whatever happened to the “I’ll show them that they are wrong about me” attitude? It got replaced by choosing victimhood. So how’s that working out for you?
White Privilege? Hmmmm … let’s see:
Willie Nelson owed $16,000,000 in back taxes. The IRS seized his ranch and as much of his other assets as they could, and still demanded he come up with the balance or face prison.
Al Sharpton owes over $19,000,000 in back taxes. The IRS has seized absolutely no property, taken no action against any assets, and Sharpton is a welcome and frequent quest at the White House.
Can you explain this “white privilege” to me again, please?
