Jesse Jackson: Racism Played Role in Ebola Patient's Death
News Max ^ | Thursday, 09 Oct 2014

The Rev. Jesse Jackson and a Dallas County commissioner have accused a Texas hospital of racism in the death of Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan.

"What role did [Duncan's] lack of privilege play in the treatment he received? He is being treated as a criminal rather than as a patient," Jackson wrote in a story for the Huffington Post this week. "As followers of Jesus, we are called to work for the day when those with privilege, most often white people, have greater access to better medical care than those whom Jesus calls 'the least of our sisters and brothers.'"

Duncan, who traveled to Dallas from Liberia on Sept. 20, contacted the disease while in the West African country — which has become ground zero in the current epidemic. He succumbed to the illness Wednesday.

Duncan visited Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Sept. 25 after first experiencing symptoms a day earlier. Doctors released him, seeing no major cause for concern. Reports say that Duncan told doctors he had come from West Africa.

It's kind of pathetic to see a loser like this jerk-off claiming "racism" in a case involving a highly contagious patient who traveled from AFRICA to the United States because he knew he would get superior medical treatment HERE.

Professional rabble-rousing and race hustling: only in America can these be lucrative enterprises. Then add the title, “Rev.” and you really hit the big time.

“Jesse has had physical contact with the dead Ebola patient’s family’

Didn’t these family members live out of state with the exception of Duncan’s son that was away at College. None if I recall correctly had contact with Duncan once he arrived here.

The people living with Duncan are confined in isolation. The family members in the images you provide are not the same as those in isolation. Jesse Jackson is currently in Chicago with (at least some of) the people in Duncan's family.

Correct. These relatives are just cockroaches looking for a big payday out of their relative’s death.

Now that another person, a caregiver, for their selfish relative has tested positive for Ebola they really need to scurry back under their floor boards and shut the heck up.

Jesse Jackson is a jerk, maybe he should show Obola how to have an affair like he did with Clinton...does he have anything else in his life to do?

Josephus Weeks, left, and his son Josephus Weeks, Jr., nephews of Ebola patient Thomas Eric Duncan, visit with a reporter after seeing their uncle at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2014, in Dallas. Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital released a statement Tuesday saying Thomas Eric Duncan is on a ventilator and is receiving kidney dialysis. The hospital says his liver function improved after declining over the weekend, but warns that his condition could vary in the coming days.

Lying is not one that Jesus support. How in God’s green Earth can you forget or ignore that you helped a person who was spewing Blood from her mouth not mentioning none of it. Had he been responsible he could have received treatment. However one can’t say if it would save his life or not. Now look their is a second person with Ebola.

Is It Just Me?

If Jesse quits using the word “racism” at every convenient moment, his racist career is finished.

Keep in mind that Duncan risked the lives of everyone involved to somehow get to the "racist" United States of American because he knew that he would get the best care in the world and the best chance of surviving this disease.

the conclusion we can draw from this is that blacks do not believe all of the racist hogwash they spout. they use it as a means to manipulate those that are willing to be manipulated.

I cannot believe Jesse Jackson has the nerve to start his race garbage. Duncan lies to come into our country. Expose countless people. Causes the expenditure of 100’s of 1000’s of dollars of taxpayer money to try to save this guy... His idiot relatives only see a lawsuit to get money. What they should get is the bill for taking care of their family member....
