The Ignored Black Deaths

[marvin martian]

“Times have changed and the worst enemy that the Negro has today is this white man that runs around here drooling at the mouth professing to love Negros and claims to be calling out liberals. Following these white conservatives will continue perpetuating problems that Negros have. The Negro cannot be taken, tricked or deceived by the white conservatives, and must continue to get together and solve our own problems. I only cite these things to show you that in 21st Century America, the history of the white conservative has been nothing but a series of trickery designed to make Negros think that the white liberal is the one with the problem. Our problems will never be solved by the white man, liberal or conservative.” -- Malcolm X, 2021

Well I guess you're still too dumb to figure out what the DemoKKKrats are doing to you. That blue city public education you got did it's job.

Enjoy your genocide.

Which whites who aren’t racists?

Me for one.

 

[JoeMoma]

Yes, racism exists. White racism exists. That said, do an analysis of what are really the root causes to the problems that people of color (or not of color) experience in order of importance. White racism shouldn't even make the top 10 on the list.

Anyone familiar with the concept of pareto knows that the problems with the most impact should be tackled first.

And this is according to somebody white. White racism has the most impact on people of color. I don't know what you imagine racism is but if you really believe what you posted, then you don't have a clue.

No, you're too dumb to understand that I see through this RepubliKKKLAN ruse people like you keep trying.

You think that White racism is root cause that has the most impact on the problems of people of color in America experience. You disregard the impact of almost all other root causes and attribute everything to White racism. I reject that. Many successful Blacks reject that also and have made successful lives for themselves. Of course you refer to those Black People as sellouts and Uncle Toms.

 

[AZrailwhale]

Lots of racists claim that.

But it's true for me. I was raised poor in a neighborhood where racists didn't survive to grow up. I learned by the time I was ten years old that there were good and bad in all races and character wasn't related to skin color. That's something IM2 and his friends still haven't learned.

Molly appears to believe nobody white is a racist even as she reads the over the top white racism here. Then she tries the false equivalence some whites use to divert by calling the non white person a racist for pointing out white racism. Or that old tired claim of blacks are just as racist as whites. A comment like that ignores everything whites have done to non whites and continue doing. Calling a white person a nasty name is not the same as going to the supreme court to get white supremacy reestablished.

The group going to the Supreme Court are fighting Harvard‘s racist policies that had bright, high-achieving Asians rejected for being part of an unlikeable race (according to Harvard).

And somehow IM2 sees white supremacy in that.

You don't see shit. You're the reason blue cities are slaughterhouses for black and brown people.

When did I ever say no whites are racist? More of your lies. What I have said is that whites aren’t the only racists. Show a false equivalence that I used. I don’t make excuses for anything wrong anyone does, regardless of skin color. You make excuses for blacks.

 

[MizMolly]

Lots of racists claim that.

So, because you say so, I am a racist? I have never said anything racist on here. I will wait while you find it. I have biracial great nephews that I love dearly, and their parents. I certainly do not hate people because of their skin color.

Yes. We know what the American White Nationalist Front Party has in store. Hopefully, the majority of the voters don't fall for the inflation ruse. Republicans have no answer for it and they know it's a global problem, but they hope that enough people aren't smart enough to figure it out.

Each year in the United States, more than 23,000 infants die before reaching their first birthday. Though the mortality rate varies widely by state and county, the average in the United States is higher than in the rest of the world’s wealthy countries, worse than in Poland and Slovakia. Because infants are so vulnerable, their survival is considered a benchmark for a society’s overall health. What our infant-mortality rate tells us is that, despite spending more money on health care than any other country in the world, the United States is not very healthy. Looked at closely, it reveals that particular groups of Americans are starkly unwell.

White, educated American women lose their infants at rates similar to mothers in America’s peer countries. Most of the burden of the higher mortality rate here is borne by poorer, less-educated families, particularly those headed by unmarried or black women. Across the United States, black infants die at a rate that’s more than twice as high as that of white infants.

After she lost her son, Tonda Thompson dreamed of a baby in a washing machine. She’d stuffed in dirty clothes and closed the door. The lock clicked shut. Water rushed in. Then she saw him, floating behind the glass. Frantic, she jabbed at a keypad on the machine, searching for a code to unlock the door.

When Thompson became pregnant she was 25, living in Los Angeles and working as a model. She and her boyfriend got engaged and moved back to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She’d grown up on the city’s north side, a predominantly African-American neighborhood with pockets of deep poverty, in a zip code known for having the highest incarceration rate in the United States. Thompson went to all of her medical appointments, took prenatal vitamins, and stayed in shape. On her birthday, she wrote on Facebook that the only gift she wanted was “a healthy mom and baby.” But she also wrote about how hard it was to be pregnant in a city where there was “nothing to do that’s fun and safe.”

Thompson got married in April 2013, and a month later went into labor. Forty hours later, Terrell was born. He lived less than half that time, due to “complications” with the delivery. By the time Thompson got home, all of the baby’s things had been moved to the basement. She’d gotten to hold him for five minutes.

The year that Terrell died, a mother in war-torn Libya had better odds of celebrating her child’s first birthday than Thompson did.

What’s Killing America’s Black Infants?

Racism is fueling a national health crisis.

Terrell Thompson lived less than 20 hours. He was not killed by gunfire. His death was due to complications during his moms pregnancy. That complication was stress caused by racism. But we won't see Terrell Thompsons name mentioned by our fine white members so concerned with the deaths of black children. In fact watch me get told how white racism didn't cause this.

But there is a problem with that opinion.

Black Maternal Mortality: ‘It is Racism, not Race’​

CCP's Tina Suliman writes: "The maternal mortality crisis in the United States emphasizes the truth behind this declaration: It is racism, not race, that is killing America’s Black mothers and babies."

May 17, 2021
By Tina Suliman

On Thursday, May 6, the eve of Mother’s Day weekend, the U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee held a hearing on racism in Black maternal health care. Among the witnesses were the families of Black mothers who had died giving birth. Congresswoman Cori Bush gave an impassioned speech recounting her own traumatic pregnancy experiences as a Black woman. “Every day, Black women die because the system denies our humanity,” Bush said.
Representative Bush’s experience is unfortunately common. In Maryland, CCP’s backyard, Black women are four times more likely to experience a pregnancy-related death than white women. This disparity is rooted in systems of oppression and injustice, and persists even when controlling for education, body mass index and socio-economic status.

The tragic story of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health alumnus, Shalon Irving, underscores this fact. Shalon, herself an epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) whose research aimed to address health disparities, tragically passed away three weeks after giving birth to her daughter Soleil in 2017. In the week leading up to her death, Shalon exhibited several red flags, including alarming spikes in blood pressure, severe swelling in her legs, headaches and swelling at her C-section incision. Despite repeatedly seeking medical care, providers dismissed her symptoms as normal. She ultimately collapsed in her home. Even Shalon’s PhD, private health insurance and social safety net were not enough to ensure her survival.

This crisis is driven by unconscious bias in the medical system and its actors. In a 2016 survey of white medical students, nearly half held false beliefs about biological differences in Black patients, including thicker skin and less sensitive nerve endings. Another 2020 study found that Black babies are more likely to live if they are cared for by a Black physician. Recently, the CDC declared racism a public health threat. The maternal mortality crisis in the United States emphasizes the truth behind this declaration: It is racism, not race, that is killing America’s Black mothers and babies.

You see, these are black deaths too, and there are more of them than the ones posted in other threads. And all of these deaths have one common cause-white racism. White racism was made a crime 57 -58 years ago, but its still happening. This white on black crime far exceeds black on black crime.

Terrell Thompson never got out of the incubator because of white racism. His name does get put up in bold because his death doesn't give a racist the chance to lecture to blacks about how we should do things.

Oh yeah it's all Y/T's fault
Medicine needs to be de-colonized

covid was also a global problem but the left didnt hesitate to blame Trump for the virus that leaked from a Chicom lab .

Racism induced Black infant death? WTF???

 

[DGS49]

70%(!) of Black children are born out of wedlock. Illegitimacy is positively correlated with poverty, crime, incarceration, substance abuse, illiteracy, and all sorts of health issues. Accordingly, a Black person who complains about an elevated rate of infant mortality is precluded from blaming any outside factor. It is the fault of the mother and the biological father, and no one else.
