At one point, Golden boldly claims that “all men” have privilege, including “white people,” “middle class,” and even “middle-aged” members of the “privileged” category. He claimed that there was.

Golden also goes on to label “cisgender people” as privileged. Cisgender refers to people who identify with the sex or gender they were born with. But she didn't stop there. She also included “Christians,” “healthy people,” and “English speakers” on the list.

In other words, if you speak English, Dr. Golden considers you a privileged member of society, and you are unaware of the benefits of your “passive income.”

Essentially, Dr. Golden places people who were not born into families of poor, non-English speaking women of color and now identify as men, or vice versa, into a privileged category. did.

“The characteristic of privilege is that it is invisible to those who have it,” Golden explained in an email.

Many people were shocked to learn that a prestigious and well-known hospital like Johns Hopkins would hire DEI employees who oozed such bias.

But hospitals have created the position of chief diversity officer to carry out the task of making people born with certain traits and characteristics feel guilty for the way they were dealt. I chose to install a golden one.

Golden was also praised in The Center Club's LinkedIn post. The Center Club bills itself as “Baltimore's premier destination for dining, business, social and family activities.”

The company praised Golden in the post, described her role, and highlighted her in its “Women in Business 2023 Trailblazer Spotlight.”

A representative from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine made this announcement via email. national desk (TND) claimed on Thursday that the statement was not consistent with the organization's beliefs.

“The January issue of the Johns Hopkins University Office of Diversity, Inclusion, and Health Equity’s monthly newsletter used language that is inconsistent with Johns Hopkins’ values ​​as a university,” they said. “Dr. Sherita Golden, Chief Diversity Officer at Johns Hopkins University, wholeheartedly acknowledges this mistake and retracted the language used in her message,” they said in their apology.
