‘White Coats for Black Lives’ Calling the Shots at America’s Medical Schools

White Coats for Black Lives (WC4BL), a radical socialist organization of doctors and medical students, is succeeding in its mission to racialize the practice of medicine, believing that the “dominant medical practice in the United States has been built on the dehumanization and exploitation of Black people.”

With at least 75 chapters at medical schools across the country, WC5BL seeks to radically redefine the practice of medicine in the United States, as it advocated “prioritizing” black patients over other patients and “unlearning toxic medical knowledge and relearning medical care that centers the needs of Black people and communities,” according to its 16-page missive. [Emphasis added].

Furthermore, the organization believes “whiteness is an invented political tool created through violence in the service of establishing domination,” “whiteness has been historically used as a violent means for stealing lives,” and “racism, capitalism, and white supremacy are interdependent systems which lead to the particular dehumanization, exploitation, and murder of Black people.”

WC4BL also promotes what appear to be significant medical falsehoods. For example, they seek to “deconstruct the falsehood that weight equates to health, including ending the use of BMI.” [Emphasis added].

The group, which advocates for “dismantling dominant, exploitative systems in the United States, which are largely reliant on anti-Black racism, colonialism, cisheteropatriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism,” also blame “systemic oppression” for ailments like hypertension:

Black people in the U.S. have higher rates of hypertension, not due to inherent vulnerability or personal behavior, but because of systemic oppression. The persistent erasure of this reality serves multiple purposes: 1) It avoids naming and identifying anti-Black racism as a cause of disease, 2) it is a mechanism used by governing systems and healthcare providers to absolve themselves from addressing the systemic causes of disease, and 3) it allows continued profiteering off of the oppression of Black and brown people.

The “professionalization of the medical field,” they contend, has been part of the “violence [used] to oust women and femme healers … particularly Black women.” The group then appears to chide medical education and expertise as part of the oppressive system, saying “transitioning from a trade field to a profession where trainees have to attend a medical school,” has been a major barrier to entry. [Emphasis added].

“The power and prestige given to medical doctors in the U.S. today is not a direct result of scientific advancement or service to the larger community,” they opine, “but the intentional and often violent consolidation of power.”

But while they have such an openly radical and racist ideology, WC4BL is making significant headway in the medical schools at which they have chapters.
