How Systemic Racism and Implicit Bias Affects African Americans

Yep...adequate AND convenient AND competent are important. Again, as it pertains to me, I am not yet sold on my current doctor. I was spoiled by my doctor and clinic in Minnesota. But, because I probably do have more options with my insurance, it is easier for me to find one that fits my criteria.

 

with everything being race obsessed with you - i thought you probably drove a fard and came from patmos

 

I'm obsessed about blacks improving
I'm obsessed about young *****s dying at the hands of each other
I ain't obsessed about ac anything you like you are about me

 

Ha ha you are right im obsessed with calling out racist bitc#hes!
good one mfer!

In all your trash talk what is the solution for blacks killing blacks?

do you agree with mlk that the 'negro has had high visibility'

 

Saying blacks need to be more accountable is trash talk like "in yo face "?


Blacks killing each other is other is a lack of self love that stems from slavery but its a problem only we can solve. A rape victim has to eventually deal with internal issues only she can solve[/QUOTE]

 

I was not beeing a jerk, I knew you were agreeing with me and this was in response to the other poster.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

The White House is preparing a speech on race relations written by Stephen Miller, who crafted the Trump Administration’s immigration plan along the southern border with Mexico.

Vice President Mike Pence recently hosted prominent Black Conservatives at the White House to discuss race relations. However, the administration did not reach out to civil rights organizations including the NAACP, National Action Network, and National Urban League.

Why 'I can't breathe' is resonating with environmental justice activists

"There's a level of racism in the movement itself, where some folks think that talking about these issues is a distraction," said Jacqueline Patterson, director of the NAACP's Environmental and Climate Justice Program. "Nobody is donning a white hood, but the racism and implicit bias is evident."

Elevating racial justice issues within the environmental movement has been a struggle, Patterson said, despite what the science shows about which communities are most at risk from climate change.

A landmark 2018 federal report found that low-income communities are more likely to be exposed to pollution and other environmental hazards. The study also noted that the same communities take longer to recover from natural disasters, such as flooding and hurricanes.

A 2019 report co-authored by the Natural Resources Defense Council analyzed data from the Environmental Protection Agency and found strong correlations between the racial makeup of communities and their access to safe drinking water. And a 2013 study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives found that black Americans are 52 percent more likely than white Americans to live in urban heat islands, putting them at increased risk during heat waves.

Yet, racial issues haven't always been at the forefront of climate debates.

Yet, racial issues haven't always been at the forefront of climate debates.

"The people most responsible for climate change historically — globally, as well as domestically — are not the same people who are feeling the pain first, worst and longest," said Robert Bullard, a distinguished professor of urban planning and environmental policy at Texas Southern University in Houston. "If you're just talking about greenhouse gases and parts per million, you're not seeing the issues around vulnerability and justice."

Bullard is a leading voice in the field of environmental justice, which advocates that the effects of climate change and any proposed solutions must be viewed through the lenses of racial and economic inequities. The movement emerged in the 1980s, as evidence began mounting that black communities — and communities of color, in general — were disproportionately being affected by global warming.​

 

Good, I like to hear his "Both sides" speech again because he really put the iron boot down the first go****m time!

 

This is another example of people that don't want the system to be fair for all.

 

Always liked Shannon Sharp. Even more so recently. A must watch video.

Are we going to have some kind of rally or protest for these elderly white folks? You all have parents in here, do you feel anything when you see this or I just woke up and this world had turned into shiet?

 

Wow!

How deep in the mudd did you have dig to pull that up.

Your mom must be proud.

 

So you’re telling me, you don’t have any feelings for those old white folks in those videos? You don’t have the slightest rage or disgust about those perps? I just want to know what kind of people are you? I did not have to dig too deeply, it’s happening every single day. I used to work the nursing home route when I was still a practicing podiatrist, I don’t even remember how many of these heartless criminals I turned in when their assault on these nursing home residents were discovered by me.
My mom is long deceased but she would be very proud of us the way we took good care of her and she lived with us until her passing.

 

My God Trump is amazing.

Of every despicable, greedy, self serving racist and bigoted person he has ever associated with... he picked the absolute worst possible person to develop a proposal on race/police reform.

Stephen “White Power” Miller? Really?

I guess the plan at the press conference is for Trump to have the police turn on the water hoses at the press junket so they can be silenced like Birmingham in ‘63??

Troll Level 100... I see you working Trump.

At least give the black folks a two minute warning before you release the Dobermans.

 

I said all I need to say, not taking the bait.
