DUC: The Gritty Truth - Chalk, Children, and Calling It Out

Yo, what’s up, y’all? Welcome back to Da Urban Conservative, the podcast where we peel back the layers of society’s BS and serve it to you raw. Today, we’re diving deep into a local scandal that has social media buzzing and parents fired up. So, grab your coffee, your tea, or whatever keeps you woke, ‘cause we’ve got some unfiltered truths coming your way.
Alright, first up, let’s talk about Dr. Rachel Marshall Schoenfelder out in Red Wing, repping Mayo Clinic. Supposedly a pediatrician—someone entrusted with the health and wellbeing of kids. But, yo, when your focus shifts from healing children to crying over chalk and letting hateful rhetoric fester on your page, that’s where we draw the line.
Now, here’s the tea: some folks are calling her out for what they’re describing as blatant disregard for Black and mixed-race children’s lives. Yeah, you heard that right. A pediatrician more worked up over chalk graffiti than systemic issues impacting actual kids. Let that sink in for a second.
Now, I know some of y’all are like, “Hold up, chalk?” Yeah. Chalk. Apparently, there was a statement or some post she made, and while she didn’t outright say anything herself, her silence in the comments section speaks volumes. She’s letting the wildest, most tone-deaf takes from her Republican cronies marinate on her posts without a single clap back. So, when we talk about systemic neglect and passive racism, this right here is a prime example.
Now, before you say, “It’s just Facebook,” let me remind you—she’s a pediatrician. Someone who’s supposed to care for all children. Black, white, brown—it don’t matter. The moment you make it clear whose lives matter more to you through your actions—or lack thereof—you’re telling us loud and clear: you’re not here for us.
The streets are saying she’s letting her privilege blind her. People have clicked on her posts, scrolled through the comments, and seen what’s up. They’re not here to tell you what to think—nah, they’re just saying go peep it yourself. Don’t let me decide for you, but understand: the smoke is real.
And for those wondering, “What’s the big deal?” Here’s the thing—if you’re entrusted with the health of our community, you’re not just treating patients; you’re stepping into a position of trust and respect. When you fumble the ball, people notice.
But wait, we ain’t done. While we’re on the topic of systems not giving a damn, let’s shift gears to Hennepin County’s overcrowded jail crisis. The Sheriff’s Office has until December 5 to fix a problem that’s been years in the making. They’re packing folks in like sardines downtown, and now they’re scrambling for solutions.
And speaking of crime—let’s talk about Minneapolis. Police Chief Brian O’Hara says juvenile crime is through the roof. No surprises there, but what’s he doing about it? His “hands-on approach” sounds cute, but we need more than photo ops and promises.
It’s all connected, y’all. Whether it’s doctors like Schoenfelder, systems like Hennepin County’s jail, or crime in our neighborhoods, it boils down to this: people in power need to do better. Period. We’re not here for excuses. We’re not here for “thoughts and prayers.” We want accountability and action.
So, here’s your call to action: stay vigilant, stay vocal, and don’t let anyone make you feel crazy for speaking the truth. If a pediatrician ain’t serving the community, call it out. If a system is broken, expose it. And if crime feels like it’s spiraling out of control, demand better solutions.
