A prominent academic leader argued Thursday that White people’s life spans give them an unfair advantage in collecting Social Security.
Thomas LaVeist, the dean of Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, made the comments at Washington Post Live's "Health Equity" event. He was interviewed by Post reporter Akilah Johnson, whose beat is exploring "the effect of racism and social inequality on health."
LaVeist explained Social Security is the perfect example to demonstrate how structural inequity manifests in American society.
While he did not say that Social Security is racist in itself, the dean claimed it is impacted by "structural inequity."
"So we have a policy, we have Social Security program established in 1935," he said. "This program was established to help address poverty, that many people after retirement were not able to — to basically live."
LaVeist then suggested that if all other factors are hypothetically the same, White people in America will benefit more from Social Security because they tend to live longer than Black people.
Some things are so mind-bogglingly stupid that only a "professor" could believe them.....Also, I guess he did not notice the "paid into" part.
So what can the government do but start killing white people, right? This shit is amazing.
