Taxpayer-Funded Ad Warns Expecting Mothers of Color of Racism in Healthcare

Publicly funded billboards were put up in San Diego warning expectant black mothers that they should be wary of health complications due to racism.

One advertisement reads:

Our Black babies are nearly 60% more likely to be premature due to discrimination.

Another one alleges:

Racism hurts your baby long before they’re born.

Critics say that the advertisements exaggerate the impact of racism in the healthcare system and that racial minorities could be discouraged from seeking medical assistance due to this messaging that encourages them not to trust their doctors.

A former Republican San Diego City Council member and the chairman of Reform California, a conservative political action committee, said the billboards should be taken down by the county's health department because they send a “dangerous and divisive message."

Since something like half of all black babies are supposed to be murdered in the womb their problem isn’t racism in health care but the possibility of evil in the hearts of their own mothers..

Since 70% of black babies (latest stat...use to be 75%) are born into single parent homes and how many of those (mostly) moms are on welfare and have no health insurance?

Does a ‘Mother of Color’ know what the real threat to her unborn baby is ?

It’s clearly documented that black women do not do nearly enough to ensure their own health NOR do they get nearly enough prenatal care when pregnant.

This is like black men committing 50+ % of crime and turn around and complain about a ‘’disproportionate’’ amount of blacks in jail.

Ask Jessie Jackson.

Nope. It's due to putting off prenatal care, alcohol and drug abuse, and being fat with all the joys of obesity-caused problems like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, pre-eclampsia, etc.

They can’t go to the doctor and stuff cause doctors want to kill black folks and stuff fer real. I saw it on the web or tweet or histogram so it’s gotta be true. Anyone wonder why spike lee or Jon (not a) legend aren’t funding shot givers being brought in to “underserved” communities? 💉🐂💨💩

San Diego warning expectant black mothers that they should be wary of health complications due to racism.

Wonder if they advertize as freely about the abortion clinics they frequent.

Ok,let’s see. Planned Parenthood describes its services as “Healthcare”. How many black babies survive this “Healthcare”? 60%, 40%, 20%? We know the answer. None. How is this “Healtcare” not racial genocide?

Ah, the question that will never be answered, at least not by the guilty.

In only 100 days we are getting all this racism BS. Just wait for the next 4 years when they create the “Dept. of Antiracism” and use that to take your private property rights.

the bottom line is to always blame others for your own personal failures. Its racisms, its those white people, it was those slave ships, It was Thomas Jefferson, it was the Pilgrims, it was General Custer, it was Rush Limbaugh, etc.

Deliberately promoting racism against white people.
That is a crime.
