Taxpayer-funded billboards in San Diego County are pushing a race-based maternity message that critics say does more harm than good and isn’t based on data.
"The big lie is that somehow America is filled with racism -- when in fact, America has made so much progress on that issue," said Carl DeMaio, a former San Diego city councilmember and chairman of Reform California. "It’s truly something to celebrate."
DeMaio said he believes the ad campaign, which argues that Black women face racism and discrimination during pregnancy, might actually discourage patients from seeking proper care.

"It's not supported by the data -- it is a narrative," DeMaio said. "It is a false narrative, and it is a false narrative that is being disseminated with our tax dollars."
A spokeswoman for the county’s healthy agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment Saturday.

Anyway, if I saw this billboard, I'd think it was against Planned Paretnhood.
Since there is so much VERY PUBLIC spouting of how terrible blacks have it because of mean hateful whitey - it can’t be true.
THEY control the speech.
Thus, another false premise.
Yeah. Don’t blacks have the highest abortion rate of any segment of the populace?
If all white people could get on an elon musk express to mars, and terraform the planet from scratch, two hundred years later it would still be white peoples fault that the entire earth is poor while the martians were all prosperous
Sign should read “Ignorance Hurts Your Baby Long Before It’s Born”.
Black women have problems with health and such, more than other races statistically.
One of my former AA students died at 25 during childbirth because she had sickle cell. It shocked a lot of people, but it’s quite common with AAs.
what a bunch of crap
also the highest race rate of murder as well
93% of blacks killed by other blacks
that’s their problem right there, themselves
Black women have problems with health and such, more than other races statistically.
Stats I've seen say that is true.
But I've never seen an analysis that says that racism is the cause.
EVERYONE is getting sick and tired of Black racism AGAINST whites, including Hispanics who are classified as white, and Asians.
Whining Blacks are RACIST against EVERYONE who isn’t Black.
The Obamas, Sharpton, Farrakhan, Maxine and Oprah need to shut their pie-holes and QUIT demonizing others.
Tax dollars can not go toward church vs. state issues (even though they totally misrepresent Thomas Jefferson’s meaning), but Commie vs. state is totally acceptable . . .
Imagine how little self esteem White peoples kids will have 20 years from now. The only people you’re allowed to attack are Whites.
First, the number of people in the external audience that this was directed to, that can actually read.
That, in turn, means them folk will merely glance at the picture.
Which, in turn, is completely incongruous with reality and congnitively dismissed by all external audiences. Add in an incomprehensible URLOLOL.
Therefore, only 3 conclusions are possible.
Well they’re true, it’s just that certain people won’t take medical advice from white doctors.
That’s the obvious and correct answer. It’s not accepted as correct because it’s inconvenient to a narrative.
Good point. If Planned Parenthood were the focus of that, that would be an admission of institutional racism right there.
But it is most likely not, so we need to mention usage of drugs and alcohol during pregnancy.
Not to mention black male criminals, turned into saints by the Left because it suited their narrative, who pushed loaded illegal handguns against the abdomens of pregnant women they wished to victimize.
They also never talk about how black women enter pregnancies with more obesity, diabetes, and hypertension than other races ... all three of which contribute heavily to pregnancy and birth related problems.
But, you see, that too is a symptom of racist, racist America. Below is a DIRECT QUOTE of one Dr. Crear-Perry at a recent congressional hearing on black maternal mortality:
"The structure of our American society causes poor maternal health outcomes for Black people, not individual choices or genetics. Structural forces include our political, economic, justice, and education systems, as well as racism, immigration status, classism, gender oppression. All are reinforcing systems of oppression that cause harm and death."
Hurry Black Americans, run out and Get Sterilized and continue with the mass abortions so you can end Racism
Or "Your Inferiority Complex Hurts Your Baby Long Before It's Born.
Yes, but YOU are part of the problem by capitalizing black but not white through your lack of resistance.
