A reporter for The Atlantic magazine said black people should
get preference over white people when it comes to medical treatment.
This is because black people have faced systemic racism in
every aspect of their lives, including medical treatment.
Black people are poorer, less healthy and less well fed than
their white counterparts and need medical treatment more urgently than fat,
rich and otherwise too-healthy whites.
The fact that doctors should take all needy people
regardless of race or color should take second fiddle to the idea of social
justice.
If you are white and wealthy, you ought to die because you
are white and wealthy.
If you are white and poor, you are lazy because you have
clearly not made best use of your white privilege, and so you should die because
you are white and lazy.
If you’re black and rich, you must be an uncle tom – except,
of course, if you happen to be Ophra, Obama or Bill Clinton.
Deep down these three believe what poor blacks believe and
have cotton pickers blood running through their veins.
Poor blacks, who have access to the massive welfare medical
system for the last sixty years clearly matter more than poor working whites
who are lucky to have medical coverage at all.
Blacks who receive WIC and food stamps clearly get less nutrition
than white working poor who sometimes have to choose between food, eat or
paying the rent.
Blacks who have access to the vast federal, state and local
welfare support system are clearly disadvantaged to their white counterparts who
don’t.
With COVID the problem is even more severe since the 20
percent of whites who won’t get vaccinated are clearly white supremist, while
the 80 percent of unvaccinated blacks have been misinformed and clearly a
victim of a racist system.
Ultimately, what this journalist and all the doctors are
telling us is that if you’re black, you ought to survive.
If you are white, die, baby, die.
