A deputy editor of one of America’s most prestigious medical journals was fired over statements he made expressing skepticism about structural racism in medicine on a podcast that has since been deleted.
Activists called for a boycott against the Journal of the American Medical Association after Deputy Editor for Clinical Reviews and Education Edward H. Livingston, MD said that no physician was racist.
“Structural racism is an unfortunate term,” said Livingston on the podcast. “Personally, I think taking racism out of the conversation will help. Many of us are offended by the concept that we are racist.”
Editor-in-chief Howard Bauchner, MD, later apologized for the podcast and said that he had asked for and received Livingston’s resignation. Bauchner said the comments made on the podcast did not reflect the values of the American Medical Association.
Fk the Editor-in-chief Howard Bauchner, MD and the AMA. Thankfully I am no longer a paying member of the AMA and I don’t subscribe to JAMA!
Morgan Freeman said much the same thing, “Stop talking about it.”
Liberals won’t have racism disappear because there’s too much power
riding on it.
