A Maine hospital executive involved in diversity, equity and inclusion hosted an antiracist prayer service that had a group of White people apologize for their internalized racism as White people, according to a video reviewed by Fox News Digital.
The DEI leader's ideology is steeped in critical race theory. He said during the prayer services that he himself maintains "racist narratives and biases," and attributed those to his skin color.
"As the head of diversity, equity and inclusion at a major health system, I think frequently about my role as White person first and as a diversity leader second. I think about the responsibility I have to continue the deep internal work of… understanding my own racist narrative and biases," Polly said. "I think about the privilege my Whiteness affords me and the choices Whiteness allows me to have… My Whiteness keeps me and my family safe."
For example, Polly said that White people acquire "ignorance," "biases" and "racist thoughts" on the basis of their belonging to a "life of Whiteness."
