As a white midwife serving an overwhelmingly white clientele, I want to be more sensitive to topics like this, I want to know more, grow, and be held accountable for any racism in me. I am committing to the community demands.

I really admire and respect Ina but her comments were unacceptable and reinforce biased, negative and untrue prejudice and ideology of racism in childbirth.

While many of us are grateful to Gaskin for her pioneering work, it is no excuse for her to perpetuate racism and stereotypes.

It shouldn't be this way, we all need to recognise the wrongs and fight for the rights

I hope this offensive remarks by InaMay are brought to light by supporting people of color as patients and caregivers so we can support each other as humans and treat everyone equally #blacklivesmatter we are one race the human race!

I already stopped supporting Gaskin when I found out that she was a person who could and did circumcise her own children and those of others. It appears that she is an equal opportunity abuser.

This is disgraceful. As someone who is supposed to advocate for women's rights, that includes Women of Color!!

I believe that with proper education and awareness, Ina May can learn the folly in her ways and improve her racist views

I support home birth and have been aware of her wonderful work. This perspective she carries is dangerous and as harmful as the hospital births she fights. She is not a friend to women.

This is a disgusting misrepresentation of the inequality plaguing the Black community. We cannot address this and right these wrongs if we continue to place the blame on the victims of injustice!
