She needs to get away from those kids ASAP. There's no telling what else she may have done.
I've read that story and I read the WaPo story earlier.
While this is an example of assholery and stupid, I'm not seeing the racism nor did I see it mentioned in either article.
This thread is giving me a headache.
Listen, these ladies are terrible people that deserve to be fired. But I can't make out the race of those babies. This thread is the only reporting of the incident that even mentions race.
People are actually trying to underplay this shit. Un-fucking-real
How does a human being hate a baby?
It's a baby.
I can tell you they are fucked sideways.
Like I have already said in this thread, they are stupid and behaving recklessly and dangerously with someones hours old newborn baby. They have no right to maintain any kind of job working with children, and should probably face some kind of criminal charge for endangering a newborn like they did. And if they were targeting minority babies then they deserve to be called out for being racist shits to. It's just difficult to determine that last part currently because newborn babies are different colors when born than they will be in a couple of hours to days time.ok, lets say this isn't about race.
they're physically abusing hours old babies.
and ... whatever kind of abuse it is to call an hours old child a mini satan.
We have one of those too!
What the fuck? There's so much wrong here I can't even.People call babies little devils or satans sometimes because they cry often and are not easy to deal with.
I have never heard it used in conjunction with race before.
Making the black babies dance to In Da Club is unfortunate, but I still don't think it is out and out racism, just stupidity and a total lack of being a good nurse and respecting those who are entrusted in your care.
This is stupid girl s being stupid. The nurses on question could just as easily been black and it would still be a fireable offense. Unless they were using racial epithets pr outright showing otherwise disdain or abuse based on race, I am going to sit out the racist drumbeating on this one.
Edit: and while they were being a little rough on the babies, some of you have obviously never seen a baby born before. The nurses in the OR/delivery room are anything BUT gentle to newborns, they whip them around, rub them furiously, pull and yank on their limbs, etc. Babies are resilient and not actually made of thin glass, you know.
So, the story as presented in the OP is confusing because the photos don't make the race of the babies clear, and the linked story doesn't support the thread title. Like maybe I'm missing some more obvious indicator, or maybe these people originally posted unredacted photos that made it more clear (if so definitely do not post them). I'm not seeing anything in the couple of stories about this I checked regarding the race of the babies. If anyone's got a better source please let me know so I can add it to the OP. It'd be nice to discuss the story without this confusion.
To people saying she's calling babies in general "mini satans" or she just dislikes all babies.
Why the FUCK would you have a job where you either deliver or primarily work with babies?
Let's dial this discussion back to this specific news story. When it comes to law in the US, intent matters with crimes in general and these distinctions are important. When it comes to this specific story however and my opinion on the actions, all we really know 100% are the actions of these two jack asses are fucked up and deserve some sort of punishment and I don't need to know whether the actions were Racist or not to call the actions fucked up.
Let's just be clear here.
We all agree this is bad and she should be fired.
Why is so much of the thread about whether this woman is specifically racist versus just stupid? Why, specifically, is that such an important argument to have?
This is a question for the people who felt it was extremely important to argue that this woman specifically isn't racist.
You think this woman specifically targeting black babies and demeaning them specifically because of their race would not be important?Let's just be clear here.

We're already at the la li lu le lu stage huhit's not racist to call them mini satans if she's just pissed about babies in general, not because they are black. unless i've missed something, the race angle isn't mentioned in the linked stories.
I haven't posted here yet but it's because the thread title says one thing but it's not necessarily supported by the video/pics and apparently nothing is mentioned in the articles.Let's just be clear here.

I could be more real, direct, and clear here but won't due to fear of a ban and no time.
"I don't care if they are shitty people who do horrible things to people's children, they just can't be racist! Where's the proof????"
Reminds me a bit of this, taken to a whole new level...
These young white (female) nurses, both from the South, probably grown up on a farm, totally sheltered to the rest of the world/US...
There seems to be a pattern of sorts here.... "Oops! we didn't think we were being racist" with these high school or college white girls from the South or the Mid West.
I think a mandatory cultural/race study course is in order for some of these Mid-Western, Southern high schools.
Is it wrong that I feel like making that nurse dance to some black metal and do....stuff to her?
i know right! unbelievable!"I don't care if they are shitty people who do horrible things to people's children, they just can't be racist! Where's the proof????"

"Just"? As if thus wasn't messed up enough.Is she? I just see her messing with babies. If she's targeting a specific race, ok.
I'll be honest... I read a lot of stupid shit on GAF this year but this one might take it.Hmm, I find the video funny. But I also would understand why some people would me upset over it. However, my daughter is 10 months old and I've used her like a puppet to dance to all sorts of music.
Unfathomable.
She needs to be brought up on charges, kicked out of the military, have every medical license she's ever earned revoked and maybe spend a couple of years in prison.

I genuinely think she should have an investigation. Not sure anything criminal was committed (am not a legal expert) however ethically it's very wrong indeed and she should have the consequences of her actions. Ignorance isn't an excuse and I doubt she is ignorant. She is after all a trained nurse working in the military.
