Woke Hospital’s Outrageous N-Word Training Video Offers a Flow Chart on When It’s Acceptable to Use Slur

A Minnesota hospital ordered thousands of employees to watch a training video featuring a flowchart detailing when they apparently say it is OK to use the N-word.

Hennepin County Medical Center, part of the largest public health network in Minneapolis, rolled out a mandatory ‘language training’ module this year, requiring all 7,000 staffers to watch a bizarre eight-minute video presentation, a whistleblower at the hospital told The New York Post.

However, employees were left shocked at the video, which was filled with political commentary, Black Lives Matter imagery and focused almost entirely on the use of the N-word.

‘This doesn’t reduce harm,’ the whistleblower told the Post. ‘It’s causing it. People are more anxious, more divided.’

‘We’re supposed to be helping patients, not policing thought.’

In January, the medical center introduced the ‘woke’ training video in collaboration with the facility’s ‘Health Equity Department’, which vowed to bring ‘a DEI lens to patient care’.

It came after the department declared racism ‘an ongoing public health crisis that urgently demands more focused attention’.

In the internal video obtained by the Post via the medical watchdog Do No Harm, several charts explained offensive slur territory to employees, including the history of the N-word and its ‘reclamation’.

‘The N-word, rooted in colonial America, is a violent racial slur used for centuries to dehumanize Black people, justify discrimination and inflict psychological and physical harm,’ a slide said, detailing the historical overview of the word.

In another slide titled ‘Can I say the N-Word?’, a flow chart outlined who is allowed to use the term, beginning with options for how employees identify themselves: white, a person of color but not black, or black/mixed with black.

Those who selected the first two options were given a clear response: ‘You cannot say the N-word’.

Those who identified with the latter were told: ‘It is your choice whether you say the word or not’.
