Black babies are three times as likely to die when cared for by white doctors.

Why?
Seriously, why?

It's as if you didn't read the article.

The authors did not speculate about the reasons behind the trend, but wrote: "Taken with this work, it gives warrant for hospitals and other care organizations to invest in efforts to reduce such biases and explore their connection to institutional racism."

"Reducing racial disparities in newborn mortality will also require raising awareness among physicians, nurses, and hospital administrators about the prevalence of racial and ethnic disparities," the researchers added.

How it could be something other than racism, whether institutional or individual, is pretty hard to come up with, no matter what Ward or Kid might tell you.

Bambu darling, it’s happening for reasons you’ve already tried to excuse away or outright refuse to believe.

It’s ok gadger. We don’t need your help fixing this and there’s not much you can do to get in the way.

Bill Clinton speaks tonight.
It may turnout to be really embarrassing.

You mean at the level of Trump's wish Ghislaine Maxwell well a couple times?!

Nah, unlikely to be nearly that embarrassing.

[LarryBnDC]

Bill Clinton is on point tonight.

Black newborns 3 times more likely to die when looked after by White doctors
Black newborn babies in the United States are more likely to survive childbirth if they are cared for by Black doctors, but three times more likely to die when looked after by White doctors, a study has found.
 
For all that a couple of us have given Bambi a hard time for his answer, he gets big points for at least responding and asking.

That Ward and Kid could not be bothered to say a fucking word on the topic is pretty disgusting.

Hypocrisy is your bliss.

I wish Josh were deleting your posts.

It sure is tempting.

Hell, if I just say I was and will be...

Trump retweets Russian propaganda about Biden that US intel agencies say is intended to influence 2020 election

Another story about which Ward will have nothing meaningful to say.

It would be a far better ad, Ward, if the GOP had not intentionally been striving to keep Black votes from mattering and had struck down jobs bill after jobs bill over the last 12 (or more) years.

But they have been. This has nothing to do with caring about Black people and everything to do with power.

Still.

Hypocrite.

I think Kim (a) has not even considered the question about the GOP as a whole, and (b) would agree with me that you are a hypocrite who does not give a damn about the lives of Blacks.
