after the police killing of George Floyd and other Black Americans. Since last year, about 70 cities, roughly three dozen counties and three states have declared racism a public health crisis, according to the American Public Health Association.
County officials developed a “racial equity budget tool,” requiring departments to explain plans to hire and retain a diverse workforce and how budgets affect disadvantaged communities. For instance, when the city approved a $2 million pandemic relief plan, more money went to areas with more Black residents,“Let’s look at where our communities are hurting the most to lift them up,” she said.
“We cannot take advantage of people to pay low wages and pay no attention to their health care,” coalition director Esther Sciammarella said. “It does not promote the urgency of eliminating racism in all its forms,” said Flowers, who started her Los Angeles County organization after a 2019 health report card revealed poor outcomes for Black women. “It doesn’t promote or enlist citizens to join the effort.”A coalition of hospitals and community clinics took up the cause in Chicago, where a city study showed chronic disease and gun violence are top causes for the almost nine-year gap in life expectancy between Black and white residents.

When was the last time we seen white people striking out on colored people JUST cause of their color? When in fact we see hundreds of videos everyday of colored people beating white people 🤔🤔
Good luck. These Democratic cities elected officials have destroyed the futures of their black citizens over the last 40 years and now say it is somebody else’s fault. Bad schools, no job training, terrible housing but the teachers and elected officials are sitting pretty.
More TheDemocrats and lies ! FakeNewsMedia
So wait...who's health. Are they admitting that black people's health is at risk...or are they saying racists are mentally unwell and giving them additional benefits. That honestly wouldn't surprise me at this point.
How is it a health crisis when it's all in thier heads?
I'm astoundingly dumbfounded by the world now and days. Now I'm going to be told the military is racist as well and we're all segregated by racial classes.
Declaring ‘racism’ a PHE is a first step, a precondition for subsequent ‘pub health’ oriented policy changes, curtailments of freedom, & equity redistribution. Observe govt’s control mechanisms w COVID. Now, imagine similar mechanisms deployed to combat ‘systemic racism’.
🤷♂️
I bet these cities won't do shit about that black on white violence that's going on.
Oh for fucks sake.
Charter schools are a wonderful help in lifting up black children and ALL children in all communities! A GOOD education is a NECESSITY!! Wonder why democrats are against them!! 🤔.
a public health crisis?... Now you're exaggerating
It's probably all the marching and rioting, then going home and spreading it. That's too logical of a conclusion to be true in [current year] though.
Oh, it'll bring about real change. People will either vote those morons out of office or get the hell out of town if they can't.
Guess what, it's another election year so after it's over nothing will have change and it'll be another 4 years!
More cities and counties in the nation are cultivating and coddling a victim and grievance mentality in their minority populations, in order to alienate and disaffect them from society,, our legal and political system, and our civilization. It's about political power.
The people who believe this is a public health crisis are the ones that are racist.
According to Bob Woodson, civil right's leader, $23 trillion has been spent on this since the 60's. 70% of that has gone to the organizations and people running them. It has created a black ruling class that left the rest behind. This is another pandering, meaningless gesture
🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Absurd hype.
Why not just try to promote a sense of intrinsic, inherent dignity? When you have confidence in who and what you are, others' opinions don't matter so much.
Meanwhile, here’s our “president” with his coloring books not giving a fu%k about anyone but himself. typhoidtrump VoteHimOut2020
Jajaja
🥱
There is a specific reason they are calling this a 'public health crisis'. As such, the government has broad powers to restrict constitutional rights. If you don't think this is all about politics, you are blind to reality.
It’s worth a try...
FINE LET THE RACISTS AT BLACK LIVES MATTER DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ME. I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ANY MORE.
