Officials at Indiana University Health said over the weekend they were investigating “several troubling posts on social media” that appeared to be made by a recently hired employee identified in news reports as Taiyesha Baker. IU Health spokesman Jason Fechner confirmed Monday that the nurse no longer works at Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis but he would not say whether she was fired, citing company policies.

The controversial tweet, which the Indianapolis Star reported was posted on an account named “Night Nurse,” said: “Every white woman raises a detriment to society when they raise a son. Someone with the HIGHEST propensity to be a terrorist, rapist, racist, killer, and domestic violence all star. Historically every son you had should be sacrificed to the wolves B‑‑‑‑.”

Fechner, with Indiana University Health, said the tweet was the first social media post by the nurse that was brought to their attention.

it was okay for the member I responded to, to say what they did. I reiterate, I understand her anger at white males and without a moment of thought someone here said "well fuck her". No one here expressing all this outrage at this AA expressing her feelings, nurse or not, has walked in her shoes for even five minutes. Her anger, to me, is understandable and I hope she can work through her issues concerning the racist nature of ameriKKKa and who drives that racism. God knows it took me many, many years, but anyway I'll move along, nothing to see here.

baby or child dies in her care, the parents sue the hospital for not removing a "dangerous" person from her position.

I am the mother of a son who had to have racism explained to him, and his response was to discrimination and hate was, "Well that's just stupid." It was one of the proudest moments of my life. I'm offended by Night Nurse's comment, and I would not want her near my boys. She's educated enough not to make such a generalization about a group.

compared to what has been suggested be done to black people and to what has been done and continues to be violently perpetrated against AA men, women, children and babies by the europeans who settled ameriKKKa. I understand her anger. Lot of hurt, justifiably angry AA people out here. She can't say what she feels in this society though, as say maybe nazi, KKK members who are health care professionals say. I understand that. But really white people have ALWAYS been able to say what should be done to AA specifically and most brown minorities generally. I'm just sorry she lost her job because of her anger. Much ado about NOTHING.

White males created this ameriKKKan brand of racism that has come back to bite them in the proverbial ass by continuing not to acknowledge AA rage and anger.

As soon as I see articles trumpeting anger coming from a wildly abused and deliberately mistreated non-white citizens, I have to take careful note of who the source for that article in a public forum was. It's a surreptitious attempt to stir a malicious pot of hatred which should never have been there in the first place, it's an attempt to keep the viciousness going toward people not lucky enough to have been born into a family of precious glow-in-the-dark Caucasians.

I understand why some people are a bit nervous when they see someone like me. Guys who look like me are the authors of a lot of the outrages in this country and the world. I understand why it is that I need to speak calmly no matter how much my complaint is in the right. I understand why I need to keep a respectful distance until women, children, PoC particularly AA get to sense where I am coming from.

Its not fair. You and I didn't do anything personally to bring this on, but it most certainly is understandable.

AA nurses in hospitals aren't creating outrages, guys who look like you and me are. We don't need to worry about that nurse, we need to worry about guys who look like you and me. I hear every single day from Trump supporters who by and large look like you and me say things a lot worse than what that nurse said and in a lot worse language than that nurse used. We need to have traveled in her shoes a bit before we get too huffy about it.

Naval Hospital Staffers Fired for Calling Black Baby "Mini Satan" on Social Media

http://www.vladtv.com/article/233689/naval-hospital-staffers-fired-for-calling-black-baby-mini-satan-on

Happens with all colors. That a nurse did it horrifies me. I have 4 generations of nurses in my family and this and the other give them a bad name that is undeserved by most.

May I ask, is anyone aware of her being a maternity ward nurse?

Or are you of an age to be thrown to wolves?

TBH, I'm far more concerned about a doctor or nurse's competence than their bedside manner. And especially if she was an ER "night nurse", I'm certain she has saved many more white male lives than ever were in danger from her.

Last thought. Being on Twitter or FB with your real name or photo is a danger to most people's jobs. She shouldn't have vented where it could look bad on the hospital who employs her.

But riddle me this: Would you feel safer with a medical professional who has had those feelings and vented them in a way that caused no physical harm, or one who has had those feelings and has sat on them, letting them build?

Take a step back, and just try to grasp the following: She is a registered nurse, whose job it is to administer care to any/all patients under her care regardless of their color, who has stated publicly that children of a certain race should be sacrificed to wolves for the betterment of society. Perhaps if she were a clerk at an insurance firm, or a plumber, I would agree that her posts carry with them no potential threat. However, since her job requires that she literally be entrusted with the lives other human beings, including the very same group she has professed hatred for and feels should be fed to animals, her remarks simply cannot be dismissed as being innocuous for obvious reason.

Sorry I just don't buy it. No one has presented any evidence or accusation that she was deficient in her care to anyone, let alone to people who look like me.

You've never ever made intemperate speech? Should every driver who ever said, "I wish I had a gun", or "sometimes I wish I could run over or into someone else to teach them a lesson", have their licenses revoked? Lets face it, an average LA driver in one day exposes himself to more potential victims that most nurses do in years. And at least she did not say she would do anything only that someone else might consider it. Makes one wonder what some might make of Johnathon Swift's suggestion that to ease starvation in Ireland they start eating babies.

There's certain amount of self righteousness over this truly shocks me and I hope none of here have bought into it.

I'd at most have a talk with her about this. But losing her job over a single emotional hyperbole. Nope.

If you look at it that way, this is no different to what is said about young black men by whites, including some Democrats, all the f'ing time and not because black kids actually have a propensity for anti-social behavior, but because that's the way white folks look at them.

That’s enough.

That’s no different than the places firing guys who showed up as Nazis in Charlottesville. Being a Nazi probably doesn’t affect your ability to wash dishes at a pizza joint, but it makes the place look bad.

This case is worse for the employer because it creates a possible liability. Imagine if she makes a mistake that harms a patient who is white. It could be just a mistake because everyone in every profession makes mistakes. But imagine the difference in court where it’s just a mistake in front of the jury or when it’s a mistake with a white patient and the lawyers throw that tweet on a huge poster in front of the jury and argue it was intentional malpractice or it was racially biased indifference that lead to the mistake.

The other thing that's sad and infuriating is that white people say this kind of thing about black people all the time, and although I personally think that it signals mental health issues as well as incompetence to do their jobs, white people like Trump who do this are tolerated.

Maybe because I am a liberal in a red state that certainly is a "right to fire" state, I knew when our bosses wanted us to create FB accounts for "networking" that I had better be very careful, no matter what privacy filters I thought I set.

Because I was one of 40+ people fired in the same day because someone at a restaurant heard the boss of our agency badmouth someone who worked for the client. If restaurant gossip I didn't even start could cost me my job in that environment, I certainly wasn't going to talk about my rare-for-here opinions on politics or religion where they could see!

As I said in another post, I would be a lot more worried about potential for danger if she was, say, an OB nurse. I don't think any of the adult white males saying they would be afraid of the care she gave are in any danger of being thrown to wolves, though they might have more justified fears based on her statements about how she'd treat their moms -- but probably only if they'd been one of the jackasses who asked her for an unnecessary spongebath one too many times that week.

But sadly... the firing is justified because it made the hospital look bad, though the firing may also make them look bad.

We support businesses who fire people who make transpbobic, homophobic, and other racist statements that make the company look bad. I do think, especially since she qualified her statement with "Historically", they're overreacting majorly. But if we try to say "free speech can't cost you your job if your employer doesn't want to be associated with that free speech"...

Sadly I wish I trusted the court of public opinion to see those differences, like "historically", and talking to women raising sons like so many white people choose to talk to black women.

It serves no purpose whatsoever other than to pitch racist bigots back into their war against people exploited and abused for ages, and those intelligent enough to realize history.

Stir up the emotionally undeveloped, get them out with their cyber pitchforks and torches, and make sure the real information which matters so much gets obscured while the the fascists trying to direct our government are more able to maneuver without interruption.

105. Just to clarify, this article is in the Washington Post.

I know you didn't say it was "from" Fox, only that it would be "expected" from Fox, but I thought it worth clarifying.

As for the rest of your comment, I'm still thinking about it. You've obviously given it much more thought than I did when I originally posted it.

132. It's natural to some people to be concerned about the effect a loaded article has upon other people.

Many articles are easy to spot instantly which create hostility. The article is designed to lead hot-headed racists to start foaming at the mouth, since they are incapable of grasping the actual meaning, and understanding why any person of an exploited, betrayed, bullied endlessly, and hated by the defectives, would feel so exasperated, so weary, unhappy he/she would feel like venting from time to time.

How the actual information is presented does make all the difference in the world. Should be easy to grasp.

138. I agree with you about the effect this article will have on a certain segment of the population,

namely that they'll use it to buttress their already formed racist philosophies. It's not right, but it's real.

I' m not sure I can agree with you that the article was designed to create a reaction amongst hotheaded racists. Is this not a valid news story? If so, should the media not cover it because they know that some of their readers will misunderstand it or react poorly?

Regarding the importance of how the the actual information is presented -- how do you think the author/paper should have presented it?

i'm not supporting her statement for one minute, just noting that justice in response to horribly offensives statements seems only to happen to certain people, and not often to, say, republicans politicians.

...and making fun specifically of their students. That's what happens as the more self-centered generations grow up and get real jobs without maturing.

However, when employed, people must realize they use social media at their own risk. You can't say things like this and keep your job.

146. And she was fired, thankfully, for being an ignorant clown. End of story.

Unfortunately it seems other people can tweet whatever they want and will never get fired.

Maybe learn to spout hateful shit anonymously instead? LOL Just kidding idiots can't help themselves. Makes it easier to spot them anyway. What a harsh and brutal lesson.

I never understood how someone can work towards a position requiring years of school, only to throw it away in an online diatribe.

Her lack of judgement is almost as indicative of being unfit to work in healthcare and her comments alone were.

Oh well, and good riddance.
