i suggest we eliminate Rhea W. Boyd

The once prestigious Lancet medical journal has published a bizarre book review asserting that “white Americans continue to mobilise to maintain or extend the exclusive advantages whiteness offers those who can become white.”
The Lancet selected Rhea W. Boyd, a Minority Health Policy Fellow at Harvard’s School of Public Health, to review a 2019 book called Dying of Whiteness by Jonathan Metzl, whose thesis is that “right-wing backlash policies have mortal consequences — even for the white voters they promise to help.”
In his book, Metzl argues that white mortality is up in the United States ever since the 2016 election of Donald Trump, since in order to “maintain an imagined place atop a racial hierarchy,” white Americans who harbor “racial resentment” support policies that seem to limit the freedoms or resources available to non-whites, even though such decisions threaten their own wellbeing as well.
“From expansive gun legislation to broad divestment in government programmes, Metzl characterises white liberties that endanger white lives or imperil white futures as ‘dying of whiteness,’” Boyd observes.
While in her review Boyd fundamentally agrees with Metzl’s contentions, she believes that he is too soft on whites by attributing whites’ self-destructive white political actions to “racial resentment,” which “erases white agency through emotional euphemism.”
“At times, Metzl artfully articulates and historicises the racist origins of white interest in firearm fanaticism and ‘small government’ politics,” Boyd writes. “At others, he turns to ‘racial anxieties,’ racially charged ‘fears,’ or ‘racial resentment’ to describe white people’s political investment in white racial dominance.”
Boyd decries the “common practice” of mis-attributing “white self-destruction and violence to psychological states” or obscuring “the impacts of defending whiteness through emotional euphemisms.”
Drivers of white mortality such as suicide, chronic liver disease, and drug and alcohol poisoning have been described as...

“The author has obviously never been good enough pals with black folks to hear them damn near come to blows over dark vs. light Kneeegrows.”
Looking at her profile photo at Harvard, it appears the author is an African American. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/diversity/rhea-boyd/

So the only way to eliminate racism is to be murderously racist.
Got it.
When I was young I thought that racial divides would disappear when humans eventually bred across racial lines to the point that we were all essentially the same color.
That of course won’t happen because humans are tribal. And despite all appearances, that tribalism goes much deeper than color. It doesn’t even require a difference in “color”.
We’ve always had kooks like this. But the difference now is that on the left they are not fringe, they are mainstream.
That is scary and suggests we are in serious danger.
I have found diversity to be fine, those times that it actually adds something.
“More from her review:
The real population that has been left behind are blacks, she argues, but the difference is that blacks have consistently supported policies that benefit everyone while whites only support policies that benefit themselves.”
??? What!!???
Of course we could eliminate the half of the equation as a matter of consideration and its application would be a better outcome for all involved.
Dumb, blind and ignorant takes quite a while to accomplish. But racist is when you combine the three and add color to the picture.
14 year old black boy murdered today in Atlanta. Killed by whiteness? Nope. And it happens almost daily.
Meet the racist b!tch herself! Rheatard W. Boyd
But are you actually white?
Home Depot’s Behr color smart app says my skin tone is more of a S200-4, Chestnut Bisque.
This is is just pure racism disguised as anti-racism.
They cry wolf and I am sick of it and them, don’t like it here leave!
I seem to remember seeing statistics that showed whites committing suicide at higher rates just after O’Zero got into office-gee, I wonder why? I know that more and more whites are going to jail for drug convictions, putting the lie to rest that “minorities” are hardest hit.
