Recent discussions highlight the disproportionate health risks and outcomes faced by Black Americans and women of color, ranging from maternal mortality to heart disease and stroke prevalence. Reports indicate that Black women are nearly three times more likely to die from childbirth than white women, a risk that persists even among Black mothers with access to resources and support. Additionally, around 60% of Black American adults are affected by heart disease, with death rates from the condition being highest among this group. Despite these alarming statistics, Black doctors represent a small fraction of cardiologists in the U.S., estimated at as little as 3%. The high prevalence of strokes among Black Americans further underscores the urgent need for targeted healthcare interventions.
The key to reducing the homicide rate in blue cities is NOT to add more police. It’s for black politicians to convince black criminals to stop killing each other over stupid shit. They account for over 50% of all murders and murder victims yet are only 13% of the population. 🤔 https://t.co/miAeGHXMyf
Got you @alexisohanian Some know the mortality rate of black mothers during child birth, but not many know Serena Williams’ story. She ended up diagnosing herself. There’s an issue here! It’s not about money. It’s about a broken system. @thepivot https://t.co/eNQ66w8wGn https://t.co/7WSm5dAn5b
J Bronski provides an illustration of how the genetic values of offspring are distributed and claims that it suggests that embryonic selection on IQ would be highly effective in increasing offspring IQ above what we would otherwise expect. This is not correct.1/16 https://t.co/pePtma0xqL
We spoke with two OB-GYNs who say even Black mothers with access to resources and support face disproportionately higher rates of risk when giving birth. https://t.co/XUACn78LI3
Birthweights seem to be causally related to a variety of important later life outcomes. This leads many people to be happily confused by group differences in birthweights. They conclude that a group's low birthweights indicate disadvantage, even when they simply reflect that… https://t.co/qLeYLea2Dr
Regression to the mean (of some discrete population category) in the general intelligence of offspring seems to generally warrant assuming the relevant group has normally distributed g's. But I ~always~ wonder about population structure! Great primer: https://t.co/vJQwnzpBX6 ..
Is NBC News advising us to avoid Black cardiologists unless we are Black? I don't know how else to interpret this. Their point is that your doctor should appreciate your specific racial situation -- by being in it -- to treat you effectively. https://t.co/Q7loraiWeA
Black Americans have a higher prevalence of strokes than any other racial group, according to a vascular neurologist in the Valley. https://t.co/d8Jlb0lMkJ
I simply do not understand (and there is no data to support) the leftwing notion black patients only experience positive health outcomes if they recieve treatment from black doctors.
This logic is infuriating to me. How is the percent of black people who choose to pursue a medical career connected to the percent of black people with heart disease or who die of heart disease? Only race-obsessed leftwing progressives seem to see any correlation. https://t.co/GmRsyycH44
Around 60% of Black American adults have heart disease, and heart disease death rates are highest among Black Americans compared to other groups. But studies estimate that Black doctors make up as little as 3% of cardiologists in the U.S. https://t.co/wRiaVF9kxH
In Minnesota in 2022 blacks made up 6.4% of the population, but responsible for 72% of all murders. https://t.co/vmMnAu3uXd

Women of color face higher maternal morality risk than white women, with Black women nearly three times more likely to die from childbirth than white women. Learn how to advocate for yourself as a pregnant woman of color. https://t.co/fhG8iCZpbR https://t.co/rmLPVuJeJz
