'The color of your skin should not determine the quality of your health.'

"As America continues its long-overdue reckoning with racism and systemic injustice, we must address the devastating impact of the disease on the Black community," he wrote."An end to the AIDS epidemic can only be achieved through dignity, respect, love, and compassion for all."

He explained in the piece that he started the Elton John AIDS Foundation in 1992 because he believes"everyone deserves the right to a healthy life, no matter who you love, who you are, or where you’re from."

Liar liar

melissa_TVjunky I love his music. Don't know him as a person. Sadly, doesn't matter what he says with the purest intentions, people are going to rip it apart

True aids targets anyone regardless of your race or gender or sexuality

brenbrenchie Look all the trump supporters all upset😂😂😂

The US can’t lead in the world until its leader can actually do positive measures to undo this racism, supremacy and phobias that people like Trump promote. Banana Republic of the USA is Trump goal.

Or anything. Treat people kindly, respect others, & think of others as they were your best friend

Unless you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, then you should expect your skin to turn a color that is indicative of the quality of your health.

Yes it’s so bad in the States and that’s why you keep coming to USA with your transplanted hair, lifted face, injections , etc in effort to look 25 years younger like your husband or is he your son..!!

It doesn't . Have a good day.

Sorry to hear about your buddy Epstein.

I bet he didn’t write that article As you said! If I catch a cold,,or don’t catch a cold, is all based on racism, discrimination, and bias? Yea, I can see that Elton? Whew!

Elton maybe it has something to do with your sexual preferences.

He falls short. It should not undermine anything.

eltonofficial is not even an American citizen ? Become an American citizen and then you can criticize America.

More great people. With progressive looks. And the world would change for the better faster

I thought is was based on ability to pay? Are you saying P.O.C. are all poor? How racist.

Well told, but reality is other,according some specialists

Another pedophile heard from.

...nor the value of your life.

No shit

That’s the same thing Magic Johnson’s been saying with HIV since the 1980s.

illegal aliens get better better and free healthcare than Citizen taxpayers do.

Tell that to Oprah, JAYZ, Beyoncé, Obama, Kaepernick, Lebron and so on and so on. I bet they get WAAAAY better coverage than I do

This is SO TRUE. It has to do with income and race. Just insane.

Or whether one is inherently racist..right?

What about hair color?

Unless your skin is orange.

Personal behavior contributes to a higher risk of acquiring HIV/AIDS. ~ L

It’s tied to money, not race. Why doesn’t Elton use some of his to reduce that problem?

July Fourth Weekend was a bloodbath in US cities: Chicago—80 Americans shot, 17 killed New York City—64 Americans shot, 10 killed Philadelphia—31 Americans shot, 7 killed Atlanta—28 Americans shot, 4 killed What do they all have in common? They're all run by Democrat Mayors.

Elton John is a perfect mental stability model

Someone tell the black man that black lives matter.

Yeah well do me a favor and humor me if my skin turns yellow. Get me to a doctor
