NursesOnTheInside

This is based on true and real events. It is the story of two nurses who witnessed the early years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic from the frontline. It focuses on their lives and their experiences. Some of the story is raw, sometimes graphic, but familiar for people with HIV infection, family members, friends, and other nurses and medical professionals such as Ellen and Valery. This is a live interv...
@47:20 - Yeah he sure did impact this world, the man concocted a very vicious theoretical conclusion which your shared institution furthered the stretching out of reality based on the true events which Arlen originally labored to muddy, via his ridiculous finding of his single, and magic, bullet theory acting as cover for the true details which denote a conspiracy in the death of President John Kennedy.
@35:22, it's not Lamblasted.. it is Lambasted, from lamb + baste.
But who authorized Specter to be this American diplomat?
Evan, well, so what have the Palestinians gotten from all these western democrats visiting? Because I know for a fact people John F. Kennedy sure tried, yet you seem to be not much of a fan of our slain 35th president of the USA.
Why not talk about Specter's law school connections?
Very good interview, highly recommended!
Nice! Awesome, as always.
What an amazing conversation! Well-done to the Law and Society Honors students and others who joined in on the call. Very impressive and insightful!
Provocative conversation. Great job, students, for raising awareness and your voices around this topic!
This is excellent
More black faculty and staff that don’t work in the Kanbar as servers and cashiers. I also think professors can become self reflective about how they view black students and black language. Challenge yourself to accept and try to understand where they come from instead of trying to police their blackness, their language, and themselves.
Also, to Kaitlyn’s question, we’re taught from a young age time and place aka code switching. From our experiences in the classroom to our experiences with police, to experiences with our families as well. Black students are scolded more severely for things said and done that are said and done by all students. Our parents ask us to speak to them in a certain toner and tenor to be view as being respectful. This shapes not only our experiences in professional spaces like school and jobs, but also around white people as well.
Yes. I agree with Jordan Code switching for black people is becoming a totally different person that is more “acceptable” to society and in the professional space.
