Racism towards whites has hit my home state.

It’s hilarious how the black folks don’t seem to have a problem with including race as a factor when they’re the beneficiaries of the policy. When that happens, “oh it’s just a lessor factor... don’t worry about that” snotloller

 

No, it is not verbatim what my quote says.

I may be uncomfortable with how some of you yanks insert political virtue signalling stuff into a health memo, but this doesn't mean that I'm going to subscribe to your fantasies.

 

You don’t have to. They’ve become exponentially more blatant about it in the last few years. Soon enough even people like you won’t be able to deny it. But something tells me you’ll excuse it anyway.

 

Nope, I called it out right now for what it was. Not what you fantasize it to be.

Thanks for playing.

 

Its not a policy, its simply a medical estimation and typically no one complains about such things, because people understand that some races are more vulnerable to some diseases than others. The white man persecution complex is a new thing, where whites burst into tears over just about everything. Another poster opened a thread about the upcoming white genocide. I've never seen the victim mentality taken to such levels. Its a good example of how the media plays people into believing such nonsense. I am not at all surprised FOX made this into a race issue as if being black puts you in front of a 75 yr old cancer patients. It doesn't work like that.

Who are high-risk:

The following medical conditions or other factors may place adults and pediatric patients (12 to 17 years of age weighing at least 40 kg) at higher risk for progression to severe COVID-19:
• Older age (for example ≥65 years of age)
• Obesity or being overweight (for example, adults with BMI >25 kg/m2 , or if 12 to 17 years of age, have BMI ≥85th percentile for their age and gender based on CDC growth charts, https://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/clinical_charts.htm)
• Pregnancy
• Chronic kidney disease
• Diabetes
• Immunosuppressive disease or immunosuppressive treatment
• Cardiovascular disease (including congenital heart disease) or hypertension
• Chronic lung diseases (for example, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma [moderate-to-severe], interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension)
• Sickle cell disease • Neurodevelopmental disorders (for example, cerebral palsy) or other conditions that confer medical complexity (for example, genetic or metabolic syndromes and severe congenital anomalies)
• Having a medical-related technological dependence (for example, tracheostomy, gastrostomy, or positive pressure ventilation [not related to COVID 19])

Other medical conditions or factors (for example, race or ethnicity) may also place individual patients at high risk for progression to severe COVID-19, and authorization of sotrovimab under the EUA is not limited to the medical conditions or factors listed above. For additional information on medical conditions and factors associated with increased risk for progression to severe COVID-19, see the CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019- ncov/need-extra-precautions/people-with-medical-conditions.html. Healthcare providers should consider the benefit-risk for an individual patient.

 

Fair enough. Let’s give it 5 years

 

Please explain how the bolded part is true

 

No it is common sense. Race should have nothing at all to do with health care. People should be treated equally regardless of race. I hate racism.

 

They didn’t single out a minority to give a leg up to. They singled out a race to hold back. It is racist. I don’t know how it can’t be. To say this one race is less important and then claim that philosophy is not racist is complete lunacy.

 

This is true. This doesn’t grant white liberals with an exception in this healthcare response. Them and their kids are also held at a lower concern of health. If they themselves or a loved one gets denied a life saving drug because of their skin color they will find out.

 

You see racism in it (and maybe in everything else too), but its not racism.

If there was a vaccine for sickle cell disease, do you think you should be prioritized the same as blacks when waiting for the shot?

Blacks should be prioritized and it has nothing to do with racism, and everything to do with the fact that they are a a far higher risk of suffering from it than you. Its practically unheard of among whites, so your comment "race should have nothing at all to do with health care" is ignorant.

As for Covid I will give you an example: in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, African Americans make up 70% of deaths due to the coronavirus, but just 26% of the county’s population. Blacks are at higher risk. Consider yourself lucky as opposed to crying racism.

Whites playing the victim over stuff like this make them look pretty weak, but that seems to be the new norm.

 

I assume by group a you mean white people.
Can you give me an example of how I as a white man will personally oppress a black person today?

 

They’re making more people like me every day. And I haven’t had someone die from being denied covid treatment due to their skin color. I can’t imagine how angry I’d be if I were one of those people.

 

Of course, it is, because you're the one getting the short end. But you had no problem when it was blacks on the short end

 

Whether you do or don't is irrelevant.

 

affirmative action is how Trump got elected, Hillary got many more votes then Trump did

affirmative action for the smaller states

 

Your state of Utah is 86.43% WHITE and only 1.19% BLACK, you have absolutely nothing to bitch about.

 

Oh sure I get it sins of the father's fathers and you expect me to pay for it.

People that expect reparations would be better served by getting off of their ass and getting a job.

 

What an unfounded aspersion you cast upon others.

 

What malarkey. Should I post a link to the electoral college system in the United States of America?

 

You know what's not ridiculous?
Wanting to put the black population in chains. That's disgusting.

 

No one made any reference to slavery except you. Own it. You posted it.

 

And not one of us wants to put white people in chains.

In fact, I've said racism is wrong. But AA is still needed because we have people wanting to put blacks back into chains(slavery).

 

Quote the post about putting whites into slavery. Which post #. Link to it.

 

AA is still needed in America.
This thread is a fine example of why.
