Hanging White Doll in Black Face Prompts Investigation at Kaiser Hospital

NBC

Kaiser Hospital Riverside is investigating what appears to be a racist display directed at several African-American employees who work in the hospital’s IT Department.

The staffers said they work in an area that is restricted to employees only so when Xavier Fields arrived for work he was shocked to find a doll with a racial slur across its chest hanging from a post near his work station.

"It’s somebody who works within. It’s a locked area. You don’t go back there," Fields said.

The doll had its face painted black and was dangling from a rope around its neck.
