U.S. Maternal Mortality is Much Higher for African-Americans

- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2024
- In the US, too many moms are dying around the time of childbirth. Every year, more than 700 mothers die from complications related to pregnancy and delivery, leaving behind grieving families as well as urgent policy questions about how we - as a country - can do better.
Between the 1980s and 2010, the maternal mortality rate doubled in the US. Clearly, birth should be safer for moms in the US. All moms. But it’s not. Some moms are at greater risk. That’s the topic of this week’s Healthcare Triage.
This episode was written in conjunction with Katy Kozhimannil and Rachel Hardeman, who are 2016 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Interdisciplinary Research Leaders fellows. Interdisciplinary Research Leaders is a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation led by the University of Minnesota.

Why did I scroll down? Why do I keep doing that to myself?
So far, I've actually been pleasantly surprised.
Edit: Alright, I've scrolled down far enough, NVM.
I knew immediately this would be a terrible comment section and that it would get downvoted a ton by racist people who want to pretend that racism is not real anymore.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to the doctors and felt absolutely dismissed. I thought that’s how it is when you go to the doctors office. Gynecologist, dermatologist family practitioner it doesn’t matter. I always feel like they’re not listening and just dismiss my concerns. It’s already hard for us women to voice our concerns with what’s going on with our bodies , we women just deal with it.
@Firelord Eliteast67 STFU
This video is a complete lie. The differences in mortality rate are 100% hereditary and beyond the control of any doctors. What this academic fraud is hiding from you are two important facts. First of all, the rate of death during pregnancy in Black Africa is 25x higher than the per capita rate of death during pregnancy for African Americans. The cause of the discrepancy between white and black women during pregnancy is hereditary and due to genetics and this has been proven for many years. All 1.1 billion Sub Saharans are always at higher risk of death during pregnancy than all Caucasians on the planet. Mostly because of their higher genetic risks of hypertension. Lying about this feeds the African American victim complex.
“It’s already hard for us women to voice our concerns..” lol are you sure about that? Seems all black women do is make noise complain. Also maybe black women don’t listen to their healthcare provider. Maybe blck women have a chip on their shoulder being coddled by HomoGlobo and refuse to be accountable for their own health, stop stuffing your fat face with KFC and grape soda, stop the Newports.. etc. being accountable for their own actions?!? No way! That is hard! Just blame a external cause. Someone we don’t like anyway, something vague and subjective that can’t be disproven because it can’t be proven either. Lol racism you really mean Whitey, and it’s a fugazi. Racism doesn’t exist, it’s merely a tactic to harm all whites.
thank you so much for this video! inequities around health care in general and women of color aren't talked about as much as they should be. y'all are shining a light, and it is much appreciated.

The pple in the comments trying to pick apart his points yall are annoying. Stop playing dumb. bottom line is black women are treated unfairly by the health care system and its due to racism. Those are the facts regardless of how he articulated it. You knew wtf he was saying.
@@otherman9695 Black women aren’t not taking care of their health. Pull your head out of your ass and live in the real world
@@otherman9695 Black women are taking care of their health. We go to see doctors just like every one else however, a large amount of medical professionals still believe black women feel less pain & some are just straight racist and this directly impacts the level of care black women receive from medical professionals. So yes when a black women dies because a medical professional failed to take her symptoms seriously pregnant or not it is most definitely on that medical professional.
@@otherman9695 if you can’t see the issue in that and feel the need to blame black women for suffering at the hands of racists then you are apart of the problem by perpetuating & upholding racist ideals.
@@otherman9695 it’s very clear that you don’t have the intelligence, knowledge or comprehension to participate in such a discussion. The fact is the medical field in the U.S is a racist system and black people suffer because of it. No matter what you say or think that is a proven fact. I advise all black people to seek black or brown medical professionals.
@@otherman9695 you further proved my point with first sentence. Idc if you racist or not but in these comments you are upholding racist ideals & thats just as horrible.
Could you also discuss the problem of "weathering" on black people in America from the constant stress of living in a racist society?

I contemplated deeply as a RN for 20 years and I have concluded this video is propaganda aimed at attacking Whites, every time blacks fail to keep up with other races they will blame whites as racist as they have no solution,

@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr pure b.s
@@corysimmons455 no, look it up idiot this is well established. African Americans are more propped up than any other Sub Saharans on the face of the earth. No one gets as much affirmative action and government assistance per capita as African Americans. 16% of Harvard students are African Americans. You will lie and say this is all bs. You will try to change the subject. White women benefit from Affirmative action yeah yeah. You are a broken record, quit lying about US doctors, they don't mistreat pregnant black women, you're just a crackhead who is uneducated.
Thank you for this. The rage, resistance, and apathy we are met with for simply asking that this stop is exhausting and its nice that sometimes someone will help us try to move this weight. We just want to live. That's all we are asking for.
So ... lemme get dis straight:
You are asking to live? K.
And that you want "this" (namely the disproportionate rate of maternal death in certain communities) to stop? Alright, cool, I'm down.
And you are met with rage, resistance and apathy for just asking for this? ...............
............. ARE YOU SURE IT'S NOT MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT?
At the risk of inventing a mob, NO ONE IS SAYING NOT HELP BROWN PEOPLE. They are being DEFENSIVE BECAUSE PEOPLE SAY WHITE PEOPLE CAN"T BE VICTIMS OF RACISM. NEWS FLASH MOST PEOPLE DON"T HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE STRUCTURE OR FUNCTION OF INSTITUTIONS! NO ONE WATCHING THIS VIDEO CAN FORCE THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM TO CHANGE! SOME PEOPLE ARE TERRIBLE RACIST YES BUT EVERYONE CAN BE A VICTIM OF SOMETHING INCLUDING RACISM! So when you say people can't be victims simply because the share a trait in a hierarchy it de-humanise them and they get upset the same way you would get upset.
When you accuse white people of killing black women they never even met, then they are going to get defensive.
Stop accusing white people of murder they never committed if you don't want then to get pissed.
Just so you know i do agree that we should help people and i am sorry if it sound like i attacked you. i just wanted the be clear about what i was trying to say. I do hope that we can all treat each other with kindness an fairness. Peace.
Who is preventing you from living and how?
When facts hurt people's feelings, they take to the comments
Yes, I think "something" fits what people say pretty well. Anything they have blindly accepted in the past up until someone says something else.
When leftist propaganda infects yet another previously respectable youtube channel people take to the comments.
You seem to have no logic because he gave no facts that lead to his conclusion (racism). Please put the time stamp for the couple of facts that warrant his conclusion. Until then, downvote. Happy to reverse my downvote and stay out your comments if you engage as requested. Thx

I think it is already bad enough that you have to go almost bankrupt in America if you need medical assistance, while in Europe healthcare is free. Having free service would probably help black pregnant women and everybody else too. Because access to healthcare should be a basic human right, it's not like we choose to be sick (at least in general that isn't the case).

Thank you for the important video! Support you on patreon.
Thank you for making this!!
But I'm confused, what is the actual thing causing the deaths? Are doctors ignoring black patients? What's going on with the actual medicine?
You can read aboit the stories online. But you are on the right track with doctoes dismissal of black women in pain.
Implicit Bias, or perception, surrounding Black people determines how you give care.
For instance, if a doctor or nurse believes that black people are drug addicts they may refuse pain management because they think this person is lying just to get high.
In the case of my friend, during post partum her and her partner were literally screaming for help because she was in pain. They ignored her. She had a pulmonary embolism, or blood clot, that travelled to her heart. She had pre-existing heart condition and she died. PE is common during post partum and could’ve been prevented with an anti-coagulant. She left behind two girls. She was only 20.
Most of the woman of color I know have experienced straight up violations in the hospitals.
It’s frustrating me because I don’t understand why white people question this so much where there so much statically evidence, personal accounts and resources that substantiate what POC are saying.
It’s like they blame the people that are being oppressed. I like to think that it’s because of learned helplessness and not that most white people hold beliefs that are dehumanizing to POC. 🤷🏾♀️
Racism isn't about the colour of your skin - it's about people being placed in disadvanted situations and being stripped from autonomy and social power
Whatever the biological differences between populations, we should try and reduce the disadvantages to the minimum, to support families and children and mothers.

Honestly when it comes to racism, why do people act like it’s only blacks and whites that live in the country.....what about Asians, what about Hispanics, native Americans...... and black women are 5 times more like to die compared to what exactly? White people????? Why not compare every demographic to see it there is truly something going on.
People don’t realize that native Americans and Indian Americans usually have similar melanin to black people...so why are they not facing it.

White Genocide
As a Mexican doctor I can only feel disgust knowing that in America even the doctors and nurses are part of the discrimination, it's unthinkable to me to act maliciously against a patient, is just disgusting, it makes me so sad I even considered applying to study anesthesia there, thinking that maybe the overwhelming discrimination you suffer was an exaggeration of the media, those are no worthy persons to call themselves doctors discriminating lives
Racism doesn't have to be intentional as pointed out in the video. I'd guess it is more about access to healthcare and socio-economic discrimination in general.
HOD0R
An example:
There are genetic differences between the average African American and the average Caucasian, so it is not unthinkable there are certain medication and procedures that are more risky or less effective for one group than another. It wouldn't be the case that the doctors malignantly use methodes that work better for Caucasians than for African Americans, it's just the standard procedure they have learned to preform, as it helps the most people most of the time.
In this hypothetical example, the doctors aren't racist, but medicine as a whole, because it has been set up so white people are helped as well as possible, while ignoring how these treatments work for minority groups.
I'm not saying this is necessarily the case, but it is not completely unthinkable.
@@RYFAMO but he states that even between high earning black women still have higher mortality, in deliveries, there's no difference between when you lost too much blood in those 2 groups so at least that one should be similar, I understand that sometimes it's by ommisio but still, not cool
@HOD0R the problem is that there are no study stating that there's a physiological explaination for it, and in England, they don't have a gap like that, and the genetic is similar

The current hospital model for pregnancy and childbirth is currently completely insane in most places. The "get-in-get-out" model does not work for families--childbirth does not follow a schedule. Laboring patients also often lose the ability to make choices for themselves in hospitals--meaning one might be forced into an episiotomy or cesarean among many other procedures that wouldn't be performed in an out-of-hospital birth. This is a huge problem for our society, as hospital birth tends to interfere with the bonding process. And why is that bad? Look around at people today. The younger they are, the more likely they are to hate people on contact, because they never had the secure love that bonding provides.
And the African-American dying near is the time of birth far from new, and violations from doctors on laboring women only seem to be increasing. Dr. Carroll, you know first-hand how hard it is to navigate childbirth in a hospital and how easy it is to get railroaded into receiving care that is not in the laboring patient's best interest. When will the medical community start insisting on midwives and out-of-hospital settings for primary pregnancy care and birth?

Mazel Tov Aaron!
Thank you for your video. Bias in healthcare, whether conscious or unconscious is a factor.
You really mean “bias by whites in healthcare”. Admit it, as that’s what racism means. White people. You see bias in healthcare? You mean racial bias, whiyes against POC. Prove it. Receipts please.
Your last words on birth struck a chord deep within me. They should be used over and over in any future argument.
Thanks!
At the beginning of the video you read a portion of data from the CDC that stated, "These inequities are not explained by differences in education or income".
Paraphrasing, you later stated that structural racism implies that there is disparity, economically, educationally, etc...
This seems inconsistent to me. Since this is a controversial topic I assume you'll be making another video to clarify. When and if you do, can you explain how structural racism was quantified? I am really confused. Referring to "...payment reform, workforce diversity..." would suggests that these are factors that effect black pregnant mothers disproportionately.
I am not denying the existence of structural racism, but I would like to know how these studies are formulated to make a more cohesive argument. There needs to be more examples of concrete bias before making these claims. For example, a study that attempted to gauge whether doctors listened less to black mothers over whites would be more indicative of structural racism, right?
CaNdLiNgEgGs When he’s referring to education and class/income, he’s referring to the fact rich, college-educated black women are still dying at a higher rate than poor high school educated white women. In these specific cases, it has to due with racism within the healthcare system. Believing the black women have higher pain tolerances or are lying about pain and discomfort. Overall, ignoring concerns that Black women are bringing up, like chest pain and contractions before 37 weeks, etc. It has to do with medical professionals slacking off when it concerns black patients because they do not believe black people warrant concern or simply do not care to treat them as they would white patients.

It shouldn't even be a question of whether or not there is racism in the US. (Which doesn't mean there isn't racism in other countries. There is.) There's voluminous evidence of racism in health care in the US. Minorities don't just have more trouble accessing care, they receive inferior care. It's not even conscious racism in many cases. Health care personnel treat minorities differently than they treat white Americans and this harms the health of the minority patient.
"The [Quality and Disparities Reports] summarized disparities in quality measures across a range of measures, e.g., measures for which quality of care was worse in the socially disadvantaged group. The largest number and percentage of disparities in quality measures were observed between poor and high-income persons (62% of measures showed worse care), followed by black versus white (60% of measures showing worse care), Hispanic versus white non-Hispanic, Asian versus white, and American Indian/Alaska Native versus white (43%, 32%, and 20% of measures showing worse care, respectively)."
www.annualreviews.org/doi/full/10.1146/annurev-publhealth-032315-021439
"Congress, in 1999, requested an [Institute of Medicine] study to assess the extent of disparities in the types and quality of health services received by U.S. racial and ethnic minorities and non-minorities; explore factors that may contribute to inequities in care; and recommend policies and practices to eliminate these inequities.
"The report from that study, Unequal Treatment: Confronting Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care, found that a consistent body of research demonstrates significant variation in the rates of medical procedures by race, even when insurance status, income, age, and severity of conditions are comparable. This research indicates that U.S. racial and ethnic minorities are less likely to receive even routine medical procedures and experience a lower quality of health services."

Omg, this is terrible. Even childbirth is racist! :(
Interesting topic.
Would higher income ensure better health care access?
I'd also be interested in knowing how much the ACA brought down the Maternal Mortality rate in all races. More access means better rates right?
No. He stated that socioeconomic levels are not a factor.
We can fix it . That's what's up .
How is racism meassured? And how was the conclusion reached that racism caused these inequalities? I don't live in the US. But I can't believe someone would be so masochistic as to do something racist there, specially a big institution, specially against black people. It's a huge pill to swallow.

Would love to see other stats on the black woman vs white women. Like drugs in system, where the birth took place, if they went to appointments etc
RIP comment section.
Universal health care for all could help with this too...
Yeah like the US would implement that 'socialist bullshit' I don't think they ever will.
You honestly think that quality of care will magically equalize across the board simply because the costs have been deferred to the federal government? What idiotic planet are you from?
It would help but nationalised health care systems also can have major racial inequalities.

Where I live (Sweden) we have a maternal mortality rate of 4 deaths in 100,000 live births. So I beg to differ.
@@AntiCitizenX easy access to health care would likely allow people to go to a doctor sooner during the pregnancy without the dear of bankruptcy

Maybe there should be research into how sickle cell affects pregnancy.
They did. It doesn't have a significant effect on pregnancy and childbirth deaths.
Whole lot of redcaps see black women dying as a feature, not a bug.
What's a radcap?
The Orange Shitgibbons supporters.
You're not very good at explaining things, but I think I understand, and I think you'll find that there aren't a lot of them that are actually racist. If they were, then wouldn't they be pro-choice? A disproportionate number of black babies are aborted. Yet, they're pro-life, and mention this fact sometimes to support their case.
Whether redcaps are overtly racist or not is immaterial. They support racism by supporting the GOP and the Orange Shitgibbon.
I advise you open a dialogue with these people, not throw insults. Even what you think you know about Trump may be challenged.
Complex systems contain complex problems. Were there controls for other health factors? Obesity, diabetes, drug use, number of children, twins, cardiovascular health ect? There are statistics for each of those based on race as well. What are the comorbidity stats when you add any of the above issues?
From personal experience adopting kids in California I found huge swings in the level of care based on who the parent were. In my situation we adopted twins from a mother with a drug history known to the hospital. The level of care for one of my girls in the NICU changed dramatically after telling our story... but had to be repeated every 12 hours at shift change because the hospital uses traveling nurses almost exclusively. If these mothers are at poor quality hospitals run by a large system, such as Dignity Health, I would not be surprised to find poor quality medical staff swapping in every 12 hours leading to some of these discrepancies.
We need a much bigger, much clearer set of data. AI will do it soon enough. Screw anyone who judges others for the color of their skin instead of the content of their character.

First of all, the rate of death during pregnancy in Black Africa is 25x higher than the per capita rate of death during pregnancy for African Americans. It means our doctors are saving countless African American lives. Secondly, the cause of the discrepancy between white and black women during pregnancy is hereditary and due to genetics and this has been proven for many years. All 1.1 billion Sub Saharans are always at higher risk of death during pregnancy than all Caucasians on the planet. Mostly because of their higher genetic risks of hypertension. Lying about this feeds the African American victim complex.
1) "Race is a social construct"
This is an absurd premise to begin with. It means you literally contradict yourself the moment you speak of "black" women having any problems relative to "white" women. You essentially admitted by axiomatic fiat that race has no objective definition, thus rendering all of your studies meaningless. When you say "black" women, did that just mean anyone with darkish skin? Are Indian women included in that statistic? Or Polynesian? Or did you mean women with specifically African descent? I have no idea, because you didn't define anything.
2) "Racism = prejudice plus power"
Absolute hogwash. "Power" has no meaning in a context like health care. Either the health care providers are providing care equally to all skin colors, or they are not. If a black woman doctor is mistreating white patients, is that racism? What if black doctors are just as likely to provide the same levels or care to their patients as white doctors? What now?
There is no "power structure" here like there is with politics. There is just the patient, her ability/willingness to access quality health care, and the quality of care provided by their local doctors. Who exactly has the "power" here? The doctor, who can provide care? Or the patient, who at any moment can tell the doctor to take a hike and go find care somewhere else? You can't prop yourself up as a respectable scientific outlet when your studies are grounded in such empirically worthless terminology.
Did you ever bother at any point in this presentation to account for culture? Poor black communities, by the mere virtue of being poor and black, are going to have different priorities and practices with respect to health care than other groups. You even admitted in this video that they tend to initiate prenatal care much later, but gave no hard data as to WHY. Where exactly is the "racism" in a patent who can't/won't see a doctor as early as other people? Yet you just asserted outright that it absolutely has to be "racism," and that such communities couldn't possibly be inflicting harm on themselves through basic cultural practices.
This is an unacceptable level of sloppy scholarship, especially given the self-proclaimed authority this channel attempts to present, and ESPECIALLY given the politically sensitive nature of the subject.

"The root causes of structural racism are hard to isolate, but a good entry point is to tackle inequality in education, employment, imprisonment and social-economic status."
Okay, tackling racial inequality? Cool, I'm down. Those are big problems that should be addressed. But you are contradicting what you said earlier:
0:56
"These racial inequalities are not explained but differences in education or income."
So even if you improved the material situation for blacks in America it wouldn't help the problems of maternal death you're discussing, no?
He does mention in your first quote that fixing those things is a good entry point, which seems to imply that more work after that would get closer to fixing the actual root cause of the issue.
I interpret it this way: The inequalities in mortality rate do not correlate with education or income. That is, the woman's education or income have no apparent relation with the likelihood that they will die during childbirth.
However, racism *is* a problem, and we know that a good place to begin addressing structural racism is addressing things like education and income inequality.
Smidge204 exactly, he's talking about it from a statistical representation. When the statistics are adjusted for education and income they still show a significant disparity between white and black women of compatible education/income. Epidemiological statistics aren't the same as evidence for or against interventions and their possible success. Which is why the follow up research which shows that decreasing racism in education improved maternal mortality rates. It's subtle, but statistically they are measuring different things, so there is no contradiction.
You're misunderstanding the language of statistics. There is no contradiction.
Weird that the video doesn’t answer questions about prevalence risk factors. For example, controlling for education/wealth, is a black mother more likely to smoke during pregnancy than a white mother?
If there is low hanging fruit like that, point to one of the biggest most difficult problems in the country rather than the low hanging fruit is doing a pretty serious disservice to black mothers.
So controlled for all co-founder and the conclusion was: primary cause without a doubt institutionalised racism throughout the society...!? Wow. Surprised me. Are there any references to articles about the subject so one could analyse their methods of study and design in ones spare time ? Because I am genuinely in shock of the conclusion.
Well said. I was shocked when I first heard about the high black maternal mortality rate, I knew it was higher than for white women but I didn’t know it was that much higher.

I still don’t understand how racism is operating here?
urhumbleservant White women are treated with more care than black women, that’s just one point.
Of course u dont ur probably white thats why u dont understand
Doctors tend to be white. Privileged white. There is power and prestige that comes with being a doctor, and being white, and a lot of them are male, also. So putting a white male doctor in front of a black female patient creates a wide power disparity. You know how power can cause corruption? This is an example of that.
the dislike bar is disappointingly high on this-- keep doin good work
Is power really a part of racism? So the "powerless" can not have prejudices based on race?
There's a great quote about this, I can't find the exact quote but it goes something like "If a white person is racist then that's their problem, if they have power over me then that's my problem"
The powerless obviously can have prejudice, but racism as a *system of oppression* is defined by those in power.
Found the quote "“If a white man wants to lynch me, that's his problem. If he's got the power to lynch me, that's my problem. Racism is not a question of attitude; it's a question of power. Racism gets its power from capitalism. Thus, if you're anti-racist, whether you know it or not, you must be anti-capitalist. The power for racism, the power for sexism, comes from capitalism, not an attitude.”" - Stokely Carmichael
Honestly asking: Why must being anti-bigotry necessitate being anti-capitalist?
Asking as a mixed-economy liking anti-racist/sexist/etc.
A mixed economy still has the fundamental structure of capitalism, that is of centralized power and of classes. if we accept the premise that racism relies on power, then the logical conclusion is a socialist or anarchist society, with the complete dissolution of power hierarchies.
"We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism" - Fred Hampton
Your question arises because there's different implementations of racism.
There's the person mental kind of racism, aka "color 1 = better, color 2 = worse." That's the prejudice you're talking about.
Then there's institutional(ized) racism, where those prejudices get locked down into law or common behaviors. For instance where people of the non-standard color are seen as less trustworthy witnesses when giving testimony in courtrooms.
Note that these "ingrained" types of racism can be intentional (Jim Crow) or subconscious. That's one of the reasons why people can get called racist and be outraged by that - they don't see themselves as racist at all.
So power definitely is part of racism. If people get the power to implement their racist views in the state apparatus, that's not good. But that doesn't preclude people without power from being prejudiced either. They are NOT mutually exclusive.
I like this video but I actually do understand the downvotes (outside of racists because to be real its probably mostly racists) I feel like this probably should have been maybe a multiple part series with the idea of racial bias being more fully explored because as is it felt kind of rushed?
Just people disagree, doesn't make them racist.
Someone Else They may not be racists, but to ignore the evidence and say that racism doesn’t exist, makes them complicit which doesn’t make them any better than racists
He cited zero evidence that white people were responsible for this.

“*Commonly* defined as prejudice plus power”... not really commonly at all. Pretty much limited to a small group of people with a certain political view and almost entirely in the USA.

I appreciated most of this video, but that did put a sour taste in my mouth
This is not true it’s a very common definition in sociology in particular, which you would know if you’ve taken a sociology class. He took the effort to define it within the video so you knew what he meant rather than assuming you agreed with that definition.
I have taken a sociology class, (A couple, actually, since it is related to my major) and this particular definition was never used. Now, I live in a more conservative area of the country in small town america so perhaps my professor knew she couldn't get away with the "prejudice plus power" bit? I don't know. She's a very, very leftie lady herself, (Aka, to get her Ph.D she wrote something related to fat acceptance type of leftie) but in class, she was very much for open dialogue, even when it came to the students who disagreed.
The video states that racism is commonly defined as "Prejudice + Power", which is a fatally flawed definition. If you want to only discuss the *variety* of racism that is "Prejudice + Power" (which is one of the biggest problems, if not the biggest) then that's fine, go on ahead. You can talk about that category of racism and its effects all day and that's a good thing. The rest of the video is great! But don't go dismissing other forms of racism that still contribute to the problem by throwing out "Prejudice + Power" as a definition. That's the issue here.
DQABlack agree. Power increases the consequence of racism. But power clearly isn’t binary and also isn’t universal to a group. Are blacks powerless? What about Obama? Are Jews powerful? What about the holocaust?
It’s clearly silly to say that a race is or isn’t powerful. That’s not how the world works.
Racism is not prejudice plus power. Its prejudice based on race. That's the start where you are losing people.
A special kind of unwise to argue that racism is prejudice + power.
Why is that true? Just because you say it?
I could just as easily say that clouds in the sky are made of waffles and ice-cream.
This madness needs to stop.
Racism is prejudice. Period. And we all are, one way or another. To blame deaths during childbirth on racism is both lazy and asinine.

Obviously you don’t know what racism is. What’s the difference between racism prejudice and discrimination. You would think there all the same which would allow you to say “well everyone is racist so it’s not just white people.” Racism is prejudice belief backed by laws rules and policies. So yes racism is prejudice plus power. We all have prejudice but not everyone has the power and privilege to make that prejudice racism. Don’t take my word look it up. What is the last time you picked up a book on racism? And if you haven’t then what makes you think you know about it. People that don’t experience racism should not base their knowledge on racism on their experience but on the scholarship that exist.
@@t-rik4583 It is evident that you are merely writing words without knowing what you are arguing about. It is clear also that you have graduated your comprehension beyond the simplicity of language and communication well into the realm of indoctrination.
Racism is prejudice, which produces discrimination based on race - power or no power. Discrimination is simply treating other people differently based on any parameter you decide to come up with.
Secondly, I am a black man living in a predominantly white country, so suggesting that I don't know what racism is, is rather unwise of you.
Let me say it in English: you have been brainwashed by liberal ideology and you are proud of it. Do better.
You went kinda deep today Aaron. I understand where your coming from, but when you say the issue is structural racism its hard to see the method to improve in that. I think the vast majority of doctors and health care professionals give the same quality of care to people of all races. Do doctors perform differently Do doctors perform worse on average for people in areas with high black populations? Do black pregnant women go to the doctor less? Are there studies on cause of deaths for women are in these cases?
I am not saying the discrepancy isn't a result of racism, but I am saying that telling people be less racist isn't going to fix the issue. If we need to build more hospitals or create a program to get pregnant women more care we should do those things and I wish more of them had been addressed in the video.
👏
"Do doctors perform worse on average for people in areas with high black populations?"
You'd think someone who watches Healthcare Triage would understand that healthcare is about more than the actions of individual doctors, as if that's the only factor in the entire healthcare system that could introduce racism.
@@Alex-nl5cy Alex I was mostly asking for a more direct answer than racism. If the racism of the past is still effecting us today, what needs to change? I'm all for fixing those things. The effects of racism is a super broad problem and hard to respond to. If we break down some of the medical system reasons as to why the death rate is high for black women, it's a lot easier to go about correcting them.
There's not really any one simple fix though, it's an entire interconnected system, built on 100s of years of history.

rac·ism
ˈrāˌsizəm
noun
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
"a program to combat racism"
Not even the Dictionary says racism is Prejudice+Power. Racism is just defined as hate for someone different that you because you don't like their skin. Racism is hate and you don't need power to hate.
you missed the whole term, "Structural Racism". Different dynamic. Power is absolutely part of the reason racism is still so current. Do you think some people would be as racist or less at least racially prejudiced if the sitting president, the most powerful man in the US, doesn't openly say and tweet racism and hatred consistently?
It's disappointing that you buy into the "plus power" tripe in the definition of racism. To call that a "common" part of the definition is to accept the redefinition being pushed by those wanting to use an accusation of racism as a cudgel. Or maybe you're just living in a saturation of those who push this tripe. It's further disappointing when it seems like the core message of this episode could have still been made without this inflammatory definition.

For anyone despairing, it's worth pointing out that even with an issue bound to trigger the racists and the "rationalists" (ha ha ha) hard, it's still well over 5:1 Thumbs Up : Thumbs Down.
Why is the link to the sources missing? Please fix so that the audience can have a look at the quality of those studies. All I hear is a bunch of post-modernist crap, like insisting that "race is a social construct"... Well it might be, but it is also a part of your biology and therefore we should be careful and approach the matter with tact and patience. Disregarding race in this way is a hallmark of ideological bias.
Race has literally no bearing in biology. If you have ever studied genetics and race within society on a socioeconomic level, then you would understand that. Race doesn't exist outside of as a social construct, because RACE IS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT. There's no ideological bias in this video regarding race outside of the comment section believing that racism doesn't exist. Race was invented by white scientists that wanted to consider black people and people of color as different and lesser, and the continual reinforcement of it in society allows for the systematic racism to continue from around it.
Uh, there are known disparities in culture that result in many of the differences that we see and blaming everything on racism isn't particularly productive either.
They apparently only make this claim between black and white demographics, what is it with say asians who are an even smaller minority? We on average have a better socio economic status than whites, higher private insurance rates than whites, yet we have a higher average mortality in this particular case. Is it because of racism or some other unknown cause?
People make the exact same claims with regards to racism and income inequality but asians blow even whites out of the water with regards to income but are never mentioned because it doesn't fit the narrative. African americans also tend to be stuck in single parent homes far more often than other demographics. Asians also tend to perform better academically on average to the point that they're vastly over represented in colleges to the point that colleges are increasing the hoops they have to jump through in order to maintain a racial parity.
Like I get it, people don't want to be called racist for questioning a narrative, but every inequality isn't caused because of racism and on the original portion of his post I don't see anything wrong in wanting to see original sources
They even made claims on how to start fixing it but didn't provide any relative improvements that were seen in actually implementing it which is probably the most important part. If it's found to not have any effect is it still because of racism? I don't know.
Also race does have a basis in biology. I couldn't claim to be african and be taken seriously. While the variance within races have a lot of overlap there are still general differences that cluster general traits based on those races. By all means we should still treat eachother like individuals, but we don't need to reject reality to do so. People of african descent tend to be better at running, whites tend to be better at swimming, but evolution doesn't stop at the neck.
Jude, race is absolutely biological. Why do you think people can determine one's race based on genetic tests?
"Race has literally no bearing in biology."
Science disagrees with you.

You can't solve these problems without identifying the cause. Sorry if you're uncomfortable with the word, but fuck you, we need to fix this so less people die.
"Race is a social construct" /sigh
sounds like you don't understand what social construct means
No, that's not it. My point is that 'social construct' is such a nebulous term that it can be applied to almost anything, and thus loses almost all of its usefulness. It's intellectually lazy. The people who wrote this episode *know* that most people will interpret 'social construct' in this case to mean 'an idea with no basis in reality that is completely constructed by mankind', which is just false. Racial differences exist, empirically. I'm not particularly interested in what those differences are, but to pretend that they don't exist is simply dishonest.

The potential land expropriation measures being put forwards in SA are not policies against white people just because they are white, they are policies which would attempt to remedy inequalities in land ownership in SA; inequalities established by the Apartheid government on the basis of race. If there is going to be a fair redistribution of land, and a return of land to its rightful owners (remember that Apartheid lasted until 1994; there are black SA alive today whose land was expropriated by the Apartheid government and given to whites who still hold it), it is going to involve redistribution largely along racial lines; an economic disparity produced along racial lines will necessarily be to some extent rectified along those same lines. FYI, the policy would focus first on the expropriation and redistribution of unused and underutilized land before targeting those who are effectively using it.
