OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) -- The Douglas County Board of Health declared racism a public health crisis during its meeting Wednesday morning.

"More than 100 studies have linked racism to worse health outcomes," the declaration states.

The document goes on to say that "racism and segregation in Douglas County have exacerbated a health divide resulting in disparities for premature deaths, death rates for cardiovascular disease and cerebrovascular disease, average and median age of deaths."

This is Douglas County, Nebraska. How is "racism" measurable? What do you think will follow, after this public health crisis declaration?

I am fairly disgusted by this.

I get it, lower the quality of Whitey’s life and the averages will move to the median. Socialism does this automatically.

I’m thinking about opening a business for repairing knee holes in pants. I figure repairing the knees of all these officials and business leaders engaged in bowing down I should be rich in no time.

It’s a mental health issue. Compulsive/obsessive behavior. Same symptoms as with TDS.

It’s only a matter of time until they declare religion a public health emergency for the health of gays.
