An Indiana nurse was fired from her job after posting a video rant against Black people and claiming that they have gotten special privileges.
According to reports, Kristy Ann Wilker, a trauma nurse from Lutheran Hospital in Fort Wayne, Indiana, made a video that was later shared on Twitter ranting about Black people and claiming that George Floyd wasn’t murdered by police.
“Black privilege is thinking you are deserved or entitled to something because of the color of your skin,” the woman explains in the video. “They — people, black people especially do get special scholarships. They are also shielded from a lot of scrutiny because of the color of their skin.”
“I’m not a racist,” she insists. “I would never treat any patient differently, I would never treat any human being differently. I think God loves everyone. I’m on the same page. However, I don’t think that any race is above scrutiny, including black people.”
The woman goes on to suggest that Floyd had been wrongly made into a martyr.
“He started to have a freakout panic attack when they put him in the car probably because he was high on meth, Fentanyl and positive for COVID,” she opines. “Was the police officer’s foot in the wrong spot? Maybe but, you know, um, meth and Fentanyl and positive COVID are probably more leading factors to an [myocardial infarction] so do your research.”
Wilker then claimed that people need to “toughen up and grow up.”
“Rise above it,” she rants. “Some things will always be. I have never been a part of slavery. I don’t know anything about that. I’m not raising children who know anything about that. You don’t know anything about that. So, let’s not pretend that our history — that history — not even ours because we’re taking stuff out of history, right? Teddy Roosevelt? So, let’s not pretend like that has any reflection on today’s society.”
“Because I feel like Black privilege is bringing that up and throwing it in white people’s face so that they can get what they want and get respect,” the nurse continues. “But racism is dead.”
According to one Twitter user, Wilker has had a past of making racist remarks.
One Twitter user said she had told coworkers not to worry about black children with gunshot wounds because “none of them are innocent.”
Her name is Kristy Ann Wilker and she’s a nurse at Lutheran Hospital here in Fort Wayne in the trauma unit. She clearly doesn’t like black people and it makes me wonder how many black patients died under her care. pic.twitter.com/L54k1n4Qs8
