(CNN)Black newborn babies in the United States are more likely to survive childbirth if they are cared for by Black doctors, but three times more likely to die when looked after by White doctors, a study has found. The mortality rate of Black newborns shrunk by between 39% and 58% when Black physicians took charge of the birth, according to the research, which laid bare how shocking racial disparities in human health can affect even the first hours of a person's life.
By contrast, the mortality rate for White babies was largely unaffected by the doctor's race. The findings support previous research, which has shown that, while infant mortality rates have fallen in recent decades, Black children remain significantly more likely to die early than their White counterparts.
Researchers from George Mason University analyzed data capturing 1.8 million hospital births in Florida between 1992 and 2015 for the new study, which was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, also known as PNAS. When cared for by White physicians, Black newborns were about three times more likely to die in the hospital than White newborns, the researchers found.

Wait, are these white doctors not just performing retroactive abortions???
So, Big Media, more must be aborted to prevent this?
That’s really, really stupid.
Make Freedom of Association Great Again.
Nooooooooooo....(eyes glowing red), don't stop! Ooooohhh...say something even more radical! Yeesssss! Feel the rage! Kill! Kill! Kill! [/s]
Probably because the problem births are assigned to specialized doctors who are almost always white. No doubt issues like that were not controlled for in this race baiting “study.”
Let me guess..... all medical school candidates have to be a certain race now. God help us...
Total unadulterated horses#!t.
Stab the beast! Disembowel the driver of the next vehicle stopped at a protest! Eviscerate the whites! Ahhhh (euphorically), drink the BLOOD!!! Children of the corn, (screams) UNITE!!!
What a vile and false story. Do you believe for a second that white doctors anywhere are not caring for black babies by a 3 to 1 margin what a filthy racist lie.
No, no, no. I’m having too much fun. DON’T stop!
Probably because there’s a lot more white doctors than black doctors, so most black infants will be “looked after” by a white doctor. Also, many black infants are very low birthweight or born with other problems and need specialists, and probably there are virtually no black neonatalists.
My immediate thought as well.
I smell a retraction, or at least a clarification, in the very near future. I suspect there's a few significant facts that have been omitted from this narrative.
Un-Phuckin-Believable! CNN still hasn’t hit bottom! It’s not from a lack of trying!
Anther CNN article fueling the black rage as usual
Yes, that’s what this is about - putting aside more AA slots.
Yesterday it was Stanford dropping the MCAT.
CNN is one rabid dog.
