A Black Harvard undergraduate sees only her own skin color: Reading her explanation for why she abandoned the pre-medical track, it's easy to see how damaging Critical Race Theory is for Blacks
American Thinker ^ | 10/26/2021 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 10/26/2021 9:37:03 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Critical Race Theory demonizes Whites and seeks to create dangerous racial tribalism within America.  Less obviously, CRT (by which I mean all variations of the theme holding that America and White people are irredeemably racist) is that it paints minorities, especially Blacks, as pathetic, helpless people.  For all the talk about "Black power" and "strong Black women," those Blacks marinated in CRT view themselves as weak — and nothing illustrates that better than Kyla N. Golding's opinion piece in the Harvard Crimson.

Golding, two years away from graduation and a "Crimson Editorial editor," decided to go public with her decision to fall off the pre-med track.  It wasn't that she discovered that the work was boring or difficult, or that her goals changed.  Instead, this gal who planned to be a STEM major discovered "how white supremacy lives and breathes in each of our bodies, spreading between each of us — body to body — like contagion."

The triggering event for Golding's realizing that she's victim down to the cellular level, far below the melanin she wears on her skin, was Breonna Taylor's death, which Golding describes as a "murder."  If Golding had a genuinely scientific mindset and had investigated the details behind Taylor's death, she wouldn't have used that word.

Taylor, although a paramedic, was also part of a major drug-smuggling ring in Louisville, Kentucky, that her former boyfriend was running.  Taylor's latest boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, was also involved in the drug trade.  When warrant-holding police loudly and repeatedly knocked on the door to the apartment before entering, Walker met them with bullets — so they fired back.  Taylor wasn't hiding in bed; she was right next to Walker, got shot, and died.  As I told my kids, if you're friends with criminals, you'll end up in jail or dead.

Sounds to me like someone trying really hard for some sympathy scholarships.

My daughter’s best friend is black. She will be getting her medical degree in the spring. Her family calls her “White Girl”.

In other words, she's too stupid to become a doctor.

Maybe, just maybe, she can become a Jill Biden “doctor”...

Good - CRT nut jobs shouldn’t be doctors - they’ll let white people die 🤪

I can see why she gave up being a doctor. If she attended to a white person she would have caught it.

What is really bad for minorities is government funded abortion. But try getting any black person to see the damage being done.

Records in NY City show that approximately half of black conceptions are aborted. That community is killing half of it’s new babies every year.

And that is why their percentage of the population and real population numbers are in stall.

That’s a sense of humor.

The World has lost its sense of humor.

The kid shouldn't have been pre-med and it suggests the push for diversity trumps qualifications. So I'm sorry all you lefties, but thanks to affirmative action I always choose a non-minority option, whether it be a supermarket clerk or a small business. This is all on you, not me.

The CRT nonsense is her low self-esteem, low IQ self justifying the fact she got weeded out. Pre-med in places like Harvard have a few courses, usually organic chemistry, which are designed as a wake-up call, to separate those truly willing to work for a medical degree, from those teenagers who just thought being a doctor sounded cool.

I hold a BSc degree in Biology. This crybaby obviously ran into the meat grinder that is Organic Chemistry. When I started my first semester of O-Chem, there were about 150 kids in the class. At the start of the second semester, there were about 35 kids left. The rest had washed out. She just can’t cut it and is having a hard time accepting it.

That’s one of the most elaborate rationalizations for academic failure I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard some doozies, having marinated in Cambridge MA for a dozen years.

That’s horrible.

When black people call a black person who is smart “acting white”, What does that mean?? That black people are supposed to be stupid??

I read something similar in the past - that due mainly to abortion, and lower down the list, murder of young men by other blacks, that if not for black immigration into the USA, the native black population would be steadily declining.

I've been looking for sources on that - if you have any, please send

It was funny how I was typing a post about organic chemistry being the graveyard of dreams, just two minutes after you posted the very same thing. You are right, it was the hurdle that few got over. I got through and went on to a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry. I’m glad they made kids do it in their sophomore year (or at least they did at my university) because the sooner you know that you can’t make it, the better.

“CRT nut jobs shouldn’t be doctors - they’ll let white people die”

I went on Medicare this year and opted for the traditional program because in 10 years or so if I need serious medical attention I do not want to be stuck with a network of people like this treating me.
