The death of Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian man who was the first patient in the U.S. to die of Ebola, is stirring debate in the Dallas Liberian community about whether there has been a difference in the quality of treatment between American and African patients with Ebola at U.S. hospitals.
Stanley Gaye, president of the Liberia Community Association in Dallas, said people have contacted him about concerns that Duncan was treated differently “because he was African and not only that, he was Liberian.”
Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital explained today in detail how they cared for Duncan, including assigning 50 people to help with Duncan's care and securing an entire intensive care unit for Duncan.
However, Gaye told ABC News that one of the biggest concerns expressed by the Liberian community was that Duncan was allowed to leave that hospital on Sept. 25 even though he had early Ebola symptoms and had told a nurse there that he had recently traveled from West Africa....

Ponder the Irony of “Liberian Immigrants” to America for a moment.
LOL
Heh. Inevitably, it’s OUR fault he died.
Great work, America, for bringing this nonsense into our country. Death by millions of cuts
It is an irony isn’t it?
Liberals and race baiters tell us America is a racist society, a bigoted society, a society in which people of color will never get ahead.
Yet among the millions of 3rd world immigrants who have come to America have been many from sub-Saharan Africa.
Why would black Africans, who leave countries in which they are in the majority, come to a racist bigoted America, if this is such a bigoted racist discriminatory country???
I smell a lawsuit brewing.
That’s like coals to Newcastle.
Is there some vital function they perform or service they provide?
Wait, don't answer that.
Why was Jesse Jackson involved? This dude wasn’t even an American.
Obama would love to turn this into the next Ferguson race war.
He was black, close enough.
When I first hear there was a “Liberian community” in Texas of all places I was thinking, “Why?” They already have their own country. If they like that way of life STAY THERE. Don’t try to turn this country into “Little Liberia”, this is not their home, this is America.
To bad, the infected guy received the same treatment everyone else received....even though he was illegal.
A large percentage of American Blacks devote their entire lives to obtaining whatever advantage they can from being Black and there are a huge number of advantages they can count on.
The real irony is that Liberia was established for freed slaves after the American Civil War. Many of the modern Liberian immigrants may be ancestors of those slaves.
Yes you are right about the freed slaves settling in Liberia. How ironic that those descended from freed resettled slaves would choose to return to America. How do liberals explain that, when America is so vile and racist and bigoted???
Interesting comment line is faulty....
ancestors = descendants
OMG,the leg lamp.
