When I graduated from college in computer science in the 1970's, affirmative action was in place, and it was not desirable to interview a 'white male'.
Now Governor John Bel Edwards is playing the RACE CARD.
Isn’t he just trying to dodge the New Orleans Mardi Gras epidemic?
And yet another one(How many does that make today). Its seems that no one here understands that this is about getting back the African American votes that have turned to republicans. The democrats have always been about stirring up race hate and then playing the heroes. Only WE care about YOU.
Played the desperation card imho. Republicans must be about to win 89 % of statewide offices. He undoubtedly believe that Blacks are ignorant. Blacks have never been ignorant. Misguided at times but never ignorant
Was the black doctor obese, suffering from diabetes and hypertension?
Governor John Bel Edwards is a democrat. You expect him to play the race card.
I turned it on and was stunned- I was waiting for sojourner truth to lead us all to dee promised land...it was appalling- whitey gets dee good stuff and weeze all gots da bad stuff. Staggeringly bad way to bring community together if that was the purpose-
This concept of blacks being over represented in the death statistics has just come out, now the race is on to see which politician can jump the highest and the quickest to proclaim just how righteous and pure he is and more so than anyone else on the glove.
These are lifestyle “diseases” common among people who live on public assistance.
Obesity and diabetes - bad diet choices, asthma- smoking.
Tell them to stop eating fried chicken, corn bread, fried fish, fried everything else, and to exercise. By the way, outside of professional sports, has anybody seen a black adult exercising lately?
Is he blaming society for sickle cell anemia too?
Its Americas fault there is no personal responsibility.
You want to talk death disparities??
Women death rate … 1.7%
Male death rate … 2.7%
Us males be victims. Gimme dat cash ...
It is nobody’s fault EXCEPT the black community themselves, most are extremely obese and their kids are extremely obese most have diabetes because of being obese!! That is NOT because of racism it is because they don’t eat properly PERIOD!!!
Any mention of China? Of Mardi Gras?
