Children's hospital doc says she made a 'mistake' when she asked black employee if she 'wanted to get lynched'

A doctor at the Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin is out of a job after she asked a black employee at the hospital if she wanted to get lynched.

Local news station Fox 6 Now reports that former Childrens Hospital doctor Lori Wiork made an offensive remark to 23-year-old housekeeper Siara Robinson during a work seminar for hospital employees earlier this month in which Robinson was asked to raise her hand as part of a team-building exercise.

Before I could even raise my hand, the doctor said, whats the matter with you? Do you wanna get lynched?' Robinson told Fox 6 Now.

Robinson also told the station that Wiork was only fired from her job after a local activist group, the Original Black Panthers of Milwaukee, started protesting on her behalf.

Wiork sent an apology letter to Robinson in which she insisted that there was no intended racial animus in her words and instead made what she described as an ignorant mistake.

The Childrens Hospital has since released a statement emphasizing that it believes Wiorks conduct was far beyond the bounds of what it could accept from employees.

We take seriously any allegation that a member of our community has failed to uphold our values and core commitment to an inclusive environment, the hospital said. As soon as we were made aware of these allegations, we immediately initiated our internal investigation and review process. The individual involved in this situation is no longer employed by Childrens Hospital.

There's no way to say "do you want to get lynched" without being racist though. That's absolutely a racist statement, that's not even a phrase anybody uses

I agree. Theres was a reason the woman was so quick to go to this threat, even if it was an unconscious choice.

I understand that people are racist, but how do you say something like this in response to someone merely raising their hand? Like what the hell man.

Even if we change it to something less racial such as, "would you like to be hung?" WHY would you say that?

Is it possible that the doctor asked her coworker if she wanted to get lunch and was misheard?
