>> STATE CAMP AT NATIONAL PUBLIC
RADIO.
LENGTHY PIECE THAT EXPLAINS THE
WHITE SUPREMACY THEY ARE SO
CONCERNED ABOUT IS COMING FROM
INSIDE THE HOUSE NPR STRUGGLES
TO RETAIN HIGH-PROFILE
JOURNALISM OF COLOR GREAT HOST
HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE PAY
DISPARITIES ALONG RACIAL AND
GENDER LINES.
THAT SOUNDS SYSTEMIC GREAT AND
WE ARE CONSIDERING 99 PERCENT OF
NPR’S PROGRAMMING HAS ABOUT
PROMOTING EQUITY.
WHAT GOING ON HERE?
TO INVESTIGATE WE LISTEN TO MANY
MORE HOURS OF NPR IN HERE IS
WHAT WE HEARD.
>> THAT CULTURE AS THE
OVERARCHING SYSTEM OF BELIEFS
AND VALUES THAT’S REALLY ENDEMIC
TO WESTERN CULTURE AT THIS POINT
IN HISTORY.
>> CHRISTY HARRISON AS AN ANTI-
DIET REGISTERED DIETITIAN WITH A
MASTERS IN PUBLIC HEALTH.
>> THERE WAS AN ANTI- DIET
DIETITIAN AND THEN MONEY KEPT
LIFTED WE WERE INTRODUCED TO A
FITNESS EXPERT THAT HATES
FITNESS.
>> I AM STILL IN A LOT OF WAYS
TRIGGERED BY HEARING THE WORD
FITNESS BECAUSE EVEN BEFORE YOU
KIND OF GET ENGROSSED IN FITNESS
CULTURE, YOU ARE INUNDATED INTO
DIET CULTURE AND SOME OF THE
TOXIC MESSAGES.
>> THERE’S A GROWING MOVEMENT TO
MAKE FITNESS CULTURE A MORE
INCLUSIVE ONE.
A LEADING VOICE IN THAT EFFORT.
IT WAS THE VOICE THAT YOU HEARD
TALKING ABOUT HOW FITNESS IS A
TRIGGER WORD.
HE IS A PHYSICAL THERAPY
ASSISTANT AND CERTIFIED MEDICAL
SPECIALIST AND OWNER OF THE
COLONIZING FITNESS.
>> HERE WE HAVE A FAT FITNESS
CONSTRUCTOR.
THAT’S OKAY.
I’M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY IS
NPR COLLAPSING EXACTLY.
WE KEPT LISTENING AND THEN
ACCORDING TO NPR IF YOU’RE GOING
TO DECOLONIZED FITNESS, THAT
MEANS YOU CAN’T LET THE DOCTOR
WAY YOU BECAUSE SCALES ARE
RELATIVE COLONIALISM AND WHITE
SUPREMACY.
>> IF YOU’RE GOING TO YOUR
DOCTOR, ONE THING IS THAT YOU DO
NOT HAVE TO BE WAGED GREAT IT’S
YOUR RIGHT TO DECLINE TO BE
WAIVED.
THAT YOU CERTAINLY CAN DECLINE
WHEN YOU GO.
THE OTHER THING IS TO LET YOUR
PROVIDER KNOW THAT YOU WOULD
LIKE TO HAVE MEDICAL CARE, THAT
YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO DISCUSS
WEIGHT OR WEIGHT MANAGEMENT AT
YOUR VISIT AND YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT TO ASK FOR THAT.
>> WE SHOULD TELL YOU THAT ALL
THESE CLIPS ARE FROM JUST ONE
EPISODE THAT AIRED LAST WEEK.
AND WE KNOW WHY ALL THESE PEOPLE
ARE LEAVING NPR, IT’S NOT RACISM
THEY’RE JUST EMBARRASSED RIGHT
AT US, WE’RE NOT GOING TO
CRITICIZE HIM, WE ARE FANS,
WE’RE GOING TO KEEP LISTENING.
NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS APPEARED
