I Went to School in Alabama. We Desperately Needed Critical Race Theory

[surada]

Well here in America we pay WAY MORE than we should and don't really get back the value. So, if we re did our healthcare, it's possible we we get better service, for more people, and pay less.

According to a major research company, most Americans are overpaying for health care, and it’s by quite a lot. The study looked at hospital and health care providers in Florida and 24 other states. An FGCU economics professor agrees with the findings.

Rand Corporation discovered people who have private insurance pay more than twice what Medicare pays for the same services.

“There’s a big differential between what Medicare pays for hospital visits and treatment in the hospital and what private insurance companies pay,” said Victor Claar, an economist at FGCU.

Claar agrees with Rand’s finding. The study looked at the prices of more than 1,600 providers in Florida and 24 other states and said they charge based on what the local market would bear, not necessarily the actual price of treatment, costing private insurance patients billions of dollars.

“So it’s not based on the treatment that that patient receives,” Claar said. “It’s based on how the patient is classified.”

Upon learning this, Denise and Raymond Zacharski agreed the change should happen soon.

“That’s why people don’t get chemotherapy or radiation or surgery because they can’t afford it, “Denise said. “And they know that, and they don’t want to bankrupt their family.”

The researchers said the quickest way to make change is for the federal government to pass new regulations to bring prices down.

And that my friend Republicans in America would call Socialism.

Insurance companies provide no patient care..

The problem in the US is cost shifting.

In what way, Klan Boi?

Since African's thrive, the issue is clearly NOT race. The failure of American blacks to assimilate and thrive is not based on genetics as those with the same genes are very successful when not corrupted by black "culture."

How do you explain this?

A team of researchers recently conducted a three-year study on the impact of having a criminal record on employment-related outcomes, varying by race and gender.

For each experiment, the researchers organized pairs of different applicants, including black men, black women, Hispanic men, Hispanic women, white men, and white women. Each pair included one person with a criminal record, and one without. All pairs sent applications for the same jobs, and all skills and qualifications on résumés were matched.

And they found

• White men with a criminal record had more positive responses than black men with no criminal record.

I was thinking that too. Do you mean that because the medicare people pay so little, the private insurance people have to pay more? That's true. My parents have money. My mom was dying and she needed to go to a home. Long story short, most people in there were staying free. My mom had to pay $22,000 a month.

 

[sealybobo]

I mean, let's face it - you're Nazis.

You can say that after Trump's failed Beer Hall Putsch?

Or how you guys were entranced when he gave his ridiculous speeches just like Hitler's?

You guys wish Trump was just like Putin. Putin stays in power even after he lost. So that wouldn't make you a commy or Nazi because Russia isn't communism anymore but it would make you a fascist with a really fucked up form of capitalism. Cronie capitalism I think they call it.

So, what is the solution? Creation a single federal fund and imposing a single federal tax on financing healthcare?

 

[Uncensored2008]

Well let's ask you the same thing.

Does public school control the means of production? Is it the only form of education available?

With 98% of all students?

Yes.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Man, I am not an American and have never been in the US. But what surprises me most is why you consider me as a Republican party follower?

It just means you are intelligent and have integrity.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Americans spend more on healthcare than any other country and our outcomes are not better on the whole.

Very little truth to your claim.

The first issue is do Americans spend more? The British NHS spends massive amounts of money. But socialists tend to focus on out of pocket to the end user and ignore the massive expenditures by government.

Canada plays a dishonest game where building construction costs and upkeep are not on the balance sheet of the National Health Service. Granted that Canada has nothing like the state of the art facilities that America has, but even so the dishonest accounting makes it impossible to compare the actual costs of the systems.

You mean your Reichstag Fire?

Or how you guys were entranced when he gave his ridiculous speeches just like Hitler's?

ROFL

Trump is a good speaker, but only your worship of Obama comes close to Hitler.

You guys wish Trump was just like Putin. Putin stays in power even after he lost. So that wouldn't make you a commy or Nazi because Russia isn't communism anymore but it would make you a fascist with a really fucked up form of capitalism. Cronie capitalism I think they call it.

We wish Trump was bribing Biden the way Putin is?

You are confused, little Nazi.

Critical Race Theory is based on a lie. Racism is 100% attitude. Racist attitude leads to racist words and frequently to racist actions. I am 100% against racism. I learned recently that some people believe that if a white person denies being racist, he is lying. There is no such thing as collective guilt for racism. Although I am white, I am not responsible for white people who are racist. I am 77 years old. Ever since I was old enough to have an opinion on race, I have said to anyone who wanted to know how I believed, "My desire is for people to treat people of different skin color no differently than if they had different color hair or eyes." CRT does not accomplish anything good. It only shuts people up. That is what they want but it does not work. A racist person still is racist even though many don't talk about it. The First Amendment to The Constitution gives us (among other things) freedom of speech. Statements like "It's a nice day" don't need to be protected. Only statements that some find offensive need to be protected. Some people could actually be convinced that they were wrong if people spoke openly about race.

I Went to School in Alabama. We Desperately Needed Critical Race Theory
Jeffery Dingler

I heard about the Ku Klux Klan for the first time when I was 14, in school. The way I remember it, my eight grade teacher informed us during an English class that the KKK wasn't so bad at first, that it started out as a vigilante force for defenseless Southerners who were being preyed upon by Yankees and free Black Americans during Reconstruction. Of course, this isn't true; the Klan was always about racial oppression and white terrorism. That's not how we learned it in rural Alabama public school.

Incredibly, this wasn't the only false or outright racist thing I heard from educators in the six years I spent in middle school and high school there, from 1999-2005. I was also taught that there wasn't a "Civil War" but a "War of Northern Aggression," which was waged not to abolish slavery but to "end state's rights."

From all these alternate facts and twisted narratives, I did learn something true: that history is fungible and can be shaped to suit any region's needs. And it's this truth—along with a correct understanding of American history—that many across the nation are trying to ban from schools, stubbornly resisting hard truths about race and American history. The culture war over critical race theory—a loose academic framework that exposes systemic racism—has many white folks in an uproar over the thought of their kids learning that the United States is, and has been, a racist society.

That's what critical race theory is: another take on American history that focuses on what this country has always sought to bury: the systemic racial hierarchy that helped build it.

And that's what many oppose. Republicans in more than two dozen states have recently been proposing bills that limit educational discussions on race and racism in the U.S.—potentially stifling that conversation in schools before it's even begun.

As someone who was born and raised in the Deep South, I could not disagree more with these attempts to stifle an accounting of America's racist past and even present. To people like me who attended small public schools in rural or remote areas, classes that delve into CRT would be instrumental in countering what feels like an overwhelming culture of deliberate ignorance toward our own history.

This guy doesn't believe that teaching these subjects will make whites hate being white. Of course we'll get the he's filled with white guilt bs coming the USMB racists.

Seriously...14 before you know what the KKK was? Aren't you a slow learner...and in Alabama where you say all the whites were racist. Gee...it doesn't sound like the KKK was targeting black people then because if they were Occupied would know who they were right?

What was your KKK doing if they weren't terrorizing black kids like IM2? Occupied, you wanna chime in on this?

What's considered a positive response? And what other factors were involved such as skill set and work history and WHAT TYPE OF CRIME(S) are we talking about that each group had? The fact that it isn't mention SCREAMS that the "researcherS" are the racist ones playing games..

Critical Race Theory is a "Narrative." It is a viewpoint that colors perceptions of reality. If you believe that everyone is either an oppressor or an oppressed person, you are an idiot, and that is the basic belief of CRT.

There are three factors that explain why Black people in the U.S. are GENERALLY less prosperous than Everyone Else: First is genetic: the average IQ of an African American is 85, a full Standard Deviation below the mean. This fact is born out by every standardized test ever written. It affects every statistical measure of success and prosperity. It ALONE would explain much of what is colloquially called, "inequality." The second factor is a culture that disdains middle-class values. Hard work, education, monogamy, avoiding substance abuse and petty crime; it's simple, really. The glaring proof of this cultural "cancer" is the simple and undisputed fact that fully 2/3 of Black babies are born to unmarried (and largely unattached) women. This alone would explain "inequality."

The third factor is racial discrimination. It is undeniable, but not as EFFECTIVE as BIPOC "leaders" would have one believe. If you ask individual Black people if they, personally, have been harmed by racial discrimination, the answer is usually, "No." When turned down for a job, or not admitted to a school, or overlooked for a promotion, it is almost always the case that someone better was chosen, and it had nothing to do with race.

Contrariwise, "affirmative action" and "diversity" initiatives have very conspicuously advanced the prospects of millions of BIPOC's beyond their objective qualifications and capabilities. How many chiefs of police, school superintendents, tenured professors, managers and supervisors, etc., are in those positions purely because the decision makers wanted to "do something" to counter racial discrimination - often compelled by force?

CRT seeks to explain "inequality" entirely on racial discrimination, which is patently a lie.

One of countless Leftist lies with which we must contend every day. I am gladder and gladder every day that I am retired and financially secure, so I don't have to deal with any of this shit.

I went to school in Alabama as well but it was during desegregation. I heard about the KKK from a very early age because my older male relatives were in it. I lived in an all white sundown town for a long time and the local school unofficially allowed the KKK to recruit there and the "cool kids" had KKK T-shirts they sometimes wore. They were once classified as a non-profit charity and used to stand at intersections collecting donations like the volunteer fire department.

^^^Look, an entire family of DemoKKKrats!

...a little light reading...

Murray reports that intelligence tests administered since the 1960s have, by and large, found the same cognitive pecking order as he did when crunching data from the 2000s. Asians had a mean IQ of 108, whites 103, Latinos 94, blacks 91. These are, of course, just group averages. Obviously, many individual blacks score higher than Asians, whites and Latinos.

Nevertheless, these group averages are significant. While IQ tests do not measure a vast range of vital human qualities – such as integrity, compassion, a sense of humor – “measures of cognitive ability and job performance,” Murray writes, “are always positively correlated. The size of the correlation goes up,” he continues, “as the job becomes more cognitively complex. Even for low-skill occupations, job experience does not lead to convergence in performance among persons with different cognitive ability.”

The gaps widen in the upper reaches of the bell curve. While Asians and whites comprise about 68% of the population, they represent 85% of all Americans with IQs of 115; 90 percent of those with IQs of 125; and 96 percent of those with IQs of 140.

Standardized test scores tell a similar story. In 2020, he reports, 900 African Americans and 3,300 Latinos had a combined math and verbal score of at least 1500 on the SAT. That same year, 27,500 whites and 20,000 Asians achieved those lofty scores. Similar disparities mark results for exams to gain entrance to law school (LSAT), medical school (MCAT) and graduate school (GRE).
