    From 1784-1965 181 yrs blacks have been slaves at worst second class citizens at best. Yet, you seem to think that all that can be wiped away like magic in an instant.

    To actually address your point. We often make the joke that white liberals are the only group in history who hate their own people and are willing to trample on their own people to help other groups get ahead of them. But that’s actually not true. There was another group and they’re fairly well known in the common use of language. Haven’t you heard of the self hating jew?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-hating_Jew

    They were in fact racist against their own kind because of their difference in religion and politics. These white liberals of today are no different and their racism is just the same.

    No what I expect is that the government stops discriminating against them based on the color of their skin. Which it has. The problem is you want to institute that same type of discrimination against whites as retribution.

    How can you sit here with a straight face and tell me that governmental policy that discriminated against blacks based on their skin color was excessively detrimental and harmful... and then argue that now that we have ended that type of governmental policy, it’s now appropriate to initiate the EXACT same policies against whites?

    I don't WANT to, I just don't think it's wrong to do so.

    Well, I'm not "the other side", so I can point it out all day long.

    Hispanics who come here are socially and religiously conservative.

    The FACT that Republicans see it as IMPOSSIBLE for them to appeal to all but whites, and thus work hard to minimize minority participation is really just plain disgusting.

    Trump got a higher percentage of hispanic and black votes in 2016 than Bush had AND both increased for 2020.

    We still got an insurrection.

    And, some analysts DO see that as a result of whites being scared that they don't get to be the beneficiaries of discrimination as much as they used to.

    Access to potentially life saving treatment is hardly a "silly" issue.

    A VICTORY OVER BIGOTRY: Hospital System Backs Off Race-Based Treatment Policy After Legal Threat; Scoring rubric gave race more weight than diabetes, obesity, asthma, and hypertension combined.

    "Our ruling gentry class is in the grip of a racial psychosis."

    Sometimes The Notice Of Intent To Sue The Racist Bastards Immediately Raises Their IQ.
    Ridiculous.

    But then "the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, a conservative legal nonprofit that on Jan. 14 threatened SSM Health with a lawsuit. Hours after the group demanded SSM "immediately suspend the use of" its "immoral" and "illegal" risk calculator, the health system told the Wisconsin State Journal that the "race and gender criteria are no longer utilized.""

    It's long past time that Constitutionalists got proficient at lawfare.
    It's very important to financially support these kinds of Constitutionalist Non Profits. The Court House is a very important element of the overall system in this country to secure our individual rights.
    Ridiculous. Do the people that come up with this crap think at all?
    So it's based on nonsense and lies.

    [​IMG]
    PERIOD!

    And that why these court filings are so important. You can't walk into Court and swear to a pile of lies without risking heap big trouble as Lizzy Warren might say. You better have your facts straight, and when these folks discussed this with their legal departments, they clearly, and wisely, counseled that they dump the racist treatment criteria.

    An insurrection like the 100s of insurrections we witnessed across the country by BLM and ANTIFA.

    Utah! The latest seething, hotbed of progressive fanaticism? Really?

    In fact, the guidelines are purely data driven, and prioritize based upon multiple, statistically-confirmed risk factors:

    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 diseaseNeurodevelopmental 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.

    https://www.fda.gov/media/149534/download

    Whining about Americans at higher risk being prioritized over those at lower risk and fixating on just one of those factors is absurd.

    Blacks are not at a higher risk, they are just the preferred race. And they are focusing on the one factor that directly violates our Constitutional rights to be free from discrimination in the law on the account of race.

    That one factor makes them not prioritize high risk. When an otherwise healthy black person
    Is prioritized just as high as a white female with asthma just because he’s black there is no real risk factor taken into account. It’s racist and should be pointed out as such. Just cause it’s your team pushing the racism doesn’t make it right.

    Our whole medical system is created for those with money. We killed the community health system we once had, and now set the bar for healthcare high enough that practitioners HAVE TO charge prices that cause portions of our population to be excluded.

    When we discriminate against some subset of our population (like blacks, or muslims, or Jews, or whatever) we reduce their earning power and otherwise reduce their ability to partake in our medical system.

    We try to mitigate that by helping those we find who have low income or live in an underserved community, etc.

    And the science says there is no difference between Blacks or any other race contracting the disease. Can you imagine if it was whites getting the two extra points..............riots in the street.

    The physical ability to catch COVID is NOT the only issue. In fact, I haven't seen that claim made.

    Now you're just making crap up.

    Please cite the actual policy.

    Making up some fake pretend policy doesn't mean there can be no acceptable policy.

    If you’re poor enough they have safety nets that pick up 100% of the bill. They’re not being excluded and to claim that is showing ignorance to the system.

    You're speaking of people with a reduced spending power so are you only thinking of people with certain skin color?

    The one making crap up is you

    In most of Europe slavery ended around the same time slavery ended in the US, yet, only in the US, the history of the past plays such a huge role in today’s politics.
