Elections Pocahontas insults doctors and nurses; claims they racist against Blacks

[JamesRussler]

SMH. This lady keeps stepping in it. In one sentence, she managed to insult the entire medical field. All because she wanted to pander to black people.

Pocahontas was at some event called She The People when the pandering began. She said doctors and nurses don’t care about black people. This, in turn, causes Black Death, she alleged. Specifically, the childbirth mortality rate is 3-4 X the mortality rate of the White people. All because of racism.

Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren suggested that doctors and nurses don’t treat African American women the same way they do white women.​

Warren appeared on Wednesday together with a number of other 2020 Democratic candidates at the She The People Forum in Houston, discussing issues concerning women of color.​

The Massachusetts senator announced on stage a plan to decrease the childbirth mortality rate among black women while identifying a systematic problem with how they are treated.​

“And there is a specific problem, as you rightly identified, for women of color who are three, four times more likely to die in childbirth,” Warren said.​

“And here's the thing, even after we do the adjustments for income, for education, this is true across the board. This is true for well-educated African American women, for wealthy African American women, and the best studies that I'm seeing put it down to just one thing, prejudice,” she added.​

“That doctors and nurses don't hear African American women's medical issues the same way that they hear the same things from white women.”​

So there you have it. Do you think it’s wise for Pocahontas to go around calling doctors and nurses racist black baby killers? I don’t think so. Personally, I think that was a stupid move.

Thoughts?

Very accurate, honest, and reasonable summary on your part.

Thanks. It comes naturally.

Do you think it was wise for her to say that?

Misleading title ftl
lol if Warren was photographed drinking a Coke, Fox News would say she was killing jobs at a Pepsi plant.


EDIT: Op ninja'd the title. It originally said something to the effect of "Warren insults Chinese, Filipinos, Indians, etc."

 

[King in the North]

Yeah, she actually didn’t insult anyone. You’re just a crazy person.

 

[ultramanhyata]

She is citing studies. Why don't you critique the studies rather than reject them out of hand because you don't want their findings to be true. This is how big boys approach contentious issues.

It's like when AOC cited that peer-reviewed climate paper that gave the "12 years" number. The right entirely disregarded her sources and just tried to make it look like it was something "the bartender" came up with on her own.

 

[Whippy McGee]

She keeps jumping the shark trying to remain relevant. Someone that cares about her should be honest with her and tell her she has no chance.

 

[Sakurabaism]

I don't see anything wrong with her statement, and there's data to support her notion, so instead of making clickbait title why not discuss the policy that she proposed?

Are you talking about @JamesRussler ?

Which studies?

We already had that election here.



James is solid.

Well, I didn't see anything about Indian, Chinese, or Filipino persons. So I/we have no idea what you're talking about there.

So, are you talking about her saying there is prejudice in the American medical system? If so, I think that's pretty well understood and it's, humorously enough, a considerable factor in why there aren't the same levels of opiate abuse in the black community: doctors are statistically less likely to prescribe opiates to black persons for fear that they are junkies. But I can't speak to her "studies" on prejudice otherwise, because I don't know what she has read and I'm not very knowledgeable on this topic.

What is your alternative explanation for income/age-adjusted black childbirth mortality? Are black women just bad at squeezing them out? It's certainly not a problem of too-narrow hips.

 

[WarDosAnjos]

She's just stating facts here. Also I find it very demeaning to call her the name of a famous native. It's racist to actual native culture

 

[HereticBD]

However you interpret her comments, it's just not the right path for her. It seems(key word) like all she's been doing since she announced her candidacy is pander to the SJW crowd. That ain't gonna cut it, and it's only a matter of time before she starts getting called out for treating her supporters like fucking idiots. She's running against actual minorities. Only a matter of time before this privileged white lady gets called out on her phony pandering.

Yes, I’m sure the doctors and nurses are just racist!

Do your own homework.

This is exactly the response I would expect from this account.

Bingo. She is not in a position to be alienating entire groups of people like that!

 

[BudKing8806]

If anything, it would be the opposite. We all know how minorities like to try to stick it to whitey. That's okay though because minorities can't actually be racist.

 

[Fedorable]

So racism caused the Black Death?
