5 min readThese communities were fighting for their health long before the disease struck. Now, they’re grappling with limited access to tests and protective equipment, and staying home is not an option.Officials in Ohio have declared racism a public health crisis in the state's most populated county.Tuesday makes the declaration, as well as vows to support community efforts on racism and ensure that board commissioners will work under"antiracism principles.
The declaration describes race as a"social construct with no biological basis." It also identifies two types of racism: individualized racism and systemic racism.The Ohio state Capitol building is seen in Columbus, April 13, 2018.Individualized racism is described as internal, while system racism is referred to as a system that gives opportunities and assigns a person's value based on how they look.
The commissioners said both types of racism, not race, have led to"persistent discrimination and disparate outcomes" between white people and people of color. Housing, education, employment and criminal justice were explicitly named as areas of life where discrimination is seen.Black people have been infected with the virus and are dying at a disproportionate rate across the country, according to an ABC News analysis of data from several states.
Racism is horrible we get that. But you have to ask, don't blacks typically have a higher rate of diabetics? Which from what I have heard, this virus has an affinity. So it goes to say, they would have a higher death rate. The virus don't give a shit about color!
Racism is Bred by Liberal herding policies..... Welfare Growth vs. Sustainable employment Horridly regulated Medicaid vs. Quality Insurance Disastrous Housing - crammed living Blocks vs. Home ownership Complete disruption of the Family unit All control for the liberal Vote Block
Like Trump no one is doing anything about it.
This is the health department that closed tennis courts in April and tracks in May with big expensive metal signs.
This article claims there is no biological connection to race, then proceeds to describe several physical maladies unique to black people. 😂😂😂
You mean liberalism?
is there any race in USA anyway?

That’s not true it’s just as long as Obama was president for
Yawn.. Just more race baiting by useless politicians with no stomach to come up with real solutions for their constituents.
Instead of focusing on the preoccupation w/ race relations--U might want 2 think about an Emigration Movement 2 Africa, because the Corona isn't going 2 spare any Ppl of color in the yrs 2 come. Rest assured of that.
It's called Trumps Hate!
Poor poor black person. Why's everybody always picking on the poor black person ? Even the coronavirus is racist .
the human race is the illness of this planet not all but majority
The call is coming from inside the house on this one.

Right. Trump & his Enablers have had FREEDOM/LUXURY of bringing it out in the open; Been able to demonstrate their vile viciousness/evil w-little accountability. Most now swept under the carpet unless enough concerned citizens unite & call it out!
Columbus- the county seat - has a murder rate that is 2.2 times the national average. And it’s not “racist” white people who are largely responsible.
Nationwide Pandemic for Decades!!!!!
Oh god, always with the race crap. The media sucks
I agreed
Someone caught the racist
I am shocked and then a back !!!
Racism declared a public health crisis in Ohio county. Maybe this approach will have some impact. It most certainly is a crisis, nationwide.
As long as 1 race 'THINKS' their race is 'BETTER THAN' any other race... RACISM IS GOING NOWHERE🤷
That’s what Democrats do, everything is racist
You people are so SICK!!!!!!! Stop trying to make us hate one another. YOU ARE THE ENEMY!!!

😔
just, wow...
this declaration in part by Kevin L. Boyce, will do little for race relations why... primary before this there were no forums/meetings of community leaders or even local NAACP branch staff for any input
Of course racism is a public health crisis....it's an evil virus that has cost the lives of millions. BLM
I hope my dad realDonaldTrump understands racism is a disease
“...while system racism is referred to as a system that gives opportunities and assigns a person's value based on how they look.” So, I guess, no more affirmative action?
Had to read that headline 3 times to figure out what the hell it was saying. Kept thinking; who is this Racism guy and how did he get that name and what caused the health crisis?
TitaniaMcGrath please solve this for us
Everybody hates everybody whats new.....
Racism doesn't exist anymore. Black people are not barred from getting jobs are going to restaurants or getting housing. What does exist is the media perpetuating fake racism to further divide this country.
WTF
Now do sexism.
Fake news
but racism has to be alive and well to create conflict and division
Racism is a public health crisis.
Drive the fascists out!
Is this The Onion?
Racism will never go away as long as we have people that still don't even agree that it exists in the first place.
