Democrats Introduce Legislation To Declare Racism A Public Health Crisis

A bill introduced on Thursday by Democratic lawmakers would classify racism as a nationwide public health crisis - requiring two wings within the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to address it, according to The Hill.

The bill - Anti-Racism in Public Health Act - was crafted by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and House Reps. Barbara Lee (D-CA) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA). It is co-sponsored by Sens. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Ed Markey (D-MA), Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Tina Smith (D-MN).

"It is time we start treating structural racism like we would treat any other public health problem or disease: investing in research into its symptoms and causes and finding ways to mitigate its effects," said Warren, who masqueraded as a different race for decades - potentially depriving actual Native Americans positions at liberal institutions.


"My bill with Representatives Lee and Pressley is a first step to create anti-racist federal health policy that studies and addresses disparities in health outcomes at their roots," she added.

The proposal comes after the American Public Health Association declared systemic racism a public health crisis at the beginning of June — shortly after Minneapolis police killed George Floyd, a Black man.
Since then, Michigan, Wisconsin and Colorado have done the same. At a local level, municipalities in over 19 states have also made the designation. -The Hill

Coronavirus and racism?


Reps. Pressley and Lee claim that COVID-19 has exacerbated public health inequities among people of color, as Black and Latino Americans have a much higher chance of dying from the disease vs. Whites.

An August report from the National Urban League, partly based on data from Johns Hopkins University, revealed that Black Americans are more than two times more likely to die from COVID-19 than White or Latino Americans. Latino Americans have the the highest infection rate — 73 cases per 10,000 people — out of the three demographics, but Black Americans still are nearly three times as likely to get sick from the virus than White Americans, who have the lowest infection rate.
The CDC acknowledges this fact on its website, saying "long-standing systemic health and social inequities have put many people from racial and ethnic minority groups at increased risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19." -The Hill

For those wondering how the CDC thinks COVID-19 affects racial and ethnic minority groups, see below (via the CDC):

Factors that contribute to increased risk
Some of the many inequities in social determinants of health that put racial and ethnic minority groups at increased risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19 include:

  • Discrimination: Unfortunately, discrimination exists in systems meant to protect well-being or health. Examples of such systems include health care, housing, education, criminal justice, and finance. Discrimination, which includes racism, can lead to chronic and toxic stress and shapes social and economic factors that put some people from racial and ethnic minority groups at increased risk for COVID-19.
  • Healthcare access and utilization: People from some racial and ethnic minority groups are more likely to be uninsured than non-Hispanic whites. Healthcare access can also be limited for these groups by many other factors, such as lack of transportation, child care, or ability to take time off of work; communication and language barriers; cultural differences between patients and providers; and historical and current discrimination in healthcare systems. Some people from racial and ethnic minority groups may hesitate to seek care because they distrust the government and healthcare systems responsible for inequities in treatment and historical events such as the Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the African American Male and sterilization without people’s permission.
  • Occupation: People from some racial and ethnic minority groups are disproportionately represented in essential work settings such as healthcare facilities, farms, factories, grocery stores, and public transportation. Some people who work in these settings have more chances to be exposed to the virus that causes COVID-19 due to several factors, such as close contact with the public or other workers, not being able to work from home, and not having paid sick days.
  • Educational, income, and wealth gaps: Inequities in access to high-quality education for some racial and ethnic minority groups can lead to lower high school completion rates and barriers to college entrance. This may limit future job options and lead to lower paying or less stable jobs. People with limited job options likely have less flexibility to leave jobs that may put them at a higher risk of exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19. People in these situations often cannot afford to miss work, even if they’re sick, because they do not have enough money saved up for essential items like food and other important living needs.
  • Housing: Some people from racial and ethnic minority groups live in crowded conditions that make it more challenging to follow prevention strategies. In some cultures, it is common for family members of many generations to live in one household. In addition, growing and disproportionate unemployment rates for some racial and ethnic minority groups during the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to greater risk of eviction and homelessness or sharing of housing.

Honkity honk honk.

That's absolutely fucking retarded. Racism is not a public health crisis and not a big problem in this country. They make it out to be SO MUCH OF A BIGGER PROBLEM than it really is (or if it even exists) to push their divisive narratives. I really am not looking forward to a time in the future where the Dems get the majority of the power in the Congress, Senate, and even The White House, whenever that may be.
 
I'm going to need a disability check of at least 2200 a month. I'm too racist to work and can't stop saying nigger.
 
I really hate giving bugchasing antimaskers ammo, but:

Get your antiracism PPE before the pandemic hits the presses!
 
We should declare niggers as a public health crisis.

Seriously, if they're so scared of the so-called "racists" in this country, then why not move someplace where there aren't racists? Like Africa, for example, there's nothing but black people there, it's impossible for them to be racist (that word is reserved for only us White folx).

They did it in Milwaukee County, and now the county Health Commissioner has buggered off for a posh new job in D.C.

MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee's Health Commissioner Jeanette Kowalik spoke publicly today for the first time since announcing her resignation.

"It definitely has not been easy," she said.

Kowalik will be stepping down from her role on September 22nd amidst possibly the largest public health crisis of our time.

"I had to make a decision that, ok, I only have so much energy left, what am I going to do? Am I going to stay in this role in the local level and keep spinning my wheels, or will I take my skills and talents to the national level to provide a more broader impact," Kowalik said.

Kowalik was recruited by Mayor Tom Barrett to work in her native city starting in September 2018. Her accomplishments include her team declaring racism a public health crisis in 2019.

As if Americans weren't tired enough of this racial shit, they go and do this. Everyone I've spoken to is absolutely tired of this. How fucking hard they pander to the black vote and a small minority of white progtards is insane.

Poverty is a public health crisis, because it increases disease because the poor are unable to get proper treatment or are forced to choose between eating and their health. Rising insurance costs and insurance dictating to doctors what they can and can't prescribe is a public health crisis. Insulin prices are a public health crisis. Racism is not. And this has to be the least racist America has ever fucking been.

I'm so fucking tired of these faggots. CONSTANTLY about race. Constant. They never shut the fuck up about it. How much patience America has is wearing thin. I don't care about your race. I don't give a fuck. There are so many, many, MANY more important things. But they gotta get that 13% black vote. They just have to.

5%/50%, Black violence is an epidemic, and becoming a Pandemic thanks to Globalist-enabled "immigration" policies.

Meanwhile Cali decriminalized knowingly infecting others with the AIDS virus against their will, in order to "destigmatize" the incurable wasting virus.
 
How ironic the only people keeping the notions of racism alive are the little SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS who can't talk about anything else, and who are SO AGAINST IT.
 
You know why I'm so much more racist now than I was 5 years ago?
BLM. They keep making it out like the "ideal" black person is a criminal who gets killed by a cop. Then I started looking at the stats.

There are good black people. There are good people of every color. What needs to be changed is this concept of "African-American" or "Person of color." Theodore Roosevelt fucking hated the labels of his day, like "Irish-American" or "Italian-American". In his eyes, that made the person think themselves as less American.

Theodore Roosevelt's face is on Mount Rushmore for good reason. The real public health crisis is racism against black people orchestrated and committed by people who consider themselves progressive, as they encourage the crab bucket mentality that is responsible for the 13/50 meme.

Ditto. I grew up in the 90s and back then, I never knew anyone who cared or even saw anyone differently based on skin color.

And I had a lot of obnoxious black people in my life through family matters, so it's not like I was never around them. BLM has tarnished my feelings for dealing with them (not all of them, the blacks who hate BLM as much as I do are awesome), but they've literally regressed racial relations by 40 years or more.
 
I kinda assumed that the reason why Spics were spreading the virus was because that they're unaware that you can flush toilet paper.

Seriously, it usually winds up in the trash can.

A lot of millennials and zoomers don't understand that the primary message of race relations used to be that we're all American and we should find our commonalities. Sure we're different. People from the bayous of Louisiana and the forests of northern Maine are different. Guess what? I bet the both like BBQs. I bet the both like hunting and fishing. They both might even be able to understand a bit of French. Does your Black or Vietnamese or Puerto Rican neighbor like football? They probably like the same team as you and even if they don't you can still watch the game together and give each other shit when each other's team is playing like garbage. It was about coming together.

It wasn't like there was no racial tension, but you didn't have every media corporation and personality stoking hatred and trying to tear things apart. It was a slow process, but it would get there. Race relations in this country have been set back by decades and that was the entire point. It's a leverage point to control the population.
