Cities declare racism a health crisis, but some doubt impact

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.

Hate Racists and Racism. Trump is one reason Racism should be eliminated from the American Society and to be considered a federal crime against those who practice it, preach it or even hint about it. racism_is_a_crime washingtonpost

Then there is symptoms of racism in those actions. If you institutionize this, then the person is washed away from his/her responsibility. People will start to judge base on color with even more conviction. Politicize won, humanity lost.

I'm 55 years old and I'm in the deep depression because my kaiser psychologist profile me with worse way you can imagine because my skin color and my English accent she decided to profile me with prostitute even if I work so hard all my life. This consumed me.

Thugs are the public health crisis.

Lololol. 🤦🏽‍♀️

All racism or just against black people?

, NOTE: All cities and states referenced in this post are BLUE!

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 declared various forms of discrimination & retaliation illegal. It has never stopped the practice in America. More than likely, the legal community won't even help with a strong case. The American system is rigged for discrimination & retaliation.

Then Joe Biden is a massive Health crisis right

Load of race baiting nonsense.

The American revolution was fought to preserve slavery. so, seeing as how we are founded on racism, it’s never going to end. But this is a good step

The corporate ran fake news constantly seeking to divide Americans.

Did you report on this yet?

dumb

People love symbols, money is symbolic. The time to stop this whole misguided train is now.

It's a sign that public health agencies have been contaminated by critical race theory lunatics.

The AP is racist

So this is insane! realDonaldTrump is truly following nazi doctrine! gop SenateGOP HouseGOP PressSec Mike_Pence kayleighmcenany ProjectLincoln AJCGlobal JewishCurrents AJCGlobal WorldJewishCong JewishAgency jvplive

Lol

Far more divisive than can be seen. The unhinged hysterical bullying by the Once Media and Trump Haters/Democrats has only silenced opposition on the surface. Judgment Day is nigh for venal hatred

Nope, they are just virtue signaling. If they actually do anything, they will be even more racist, like CA forcing companies to hire board members based off their skin colors

Abolish police

Oh their is so much race in these cities, people are moving out by the 1,000s-Some states are down 75% in pop. due to them leaving

Such nonsense. Women of all colors ARE THE most discriminated people in the world. Black men voted almost 100 year before any women.

When a group of terrorist assholes are trending, and it makes your real name look like an unimaginative racist code name....

Is there $$ in it, I'll take it...

Gallup Poll June 23-July 6, 2020: 81% of black Americans want police in their area in the same amount or more time. TrumpPence2020LandSlide

after having stirred it up. that's like poking wasps nests, then complaining when the wasps attack.

Ok so they are going to block the Democrats?

lol. Total craziness...

Maybe we can rush through a vaccine.
