Those who develop computers and software do so using linear thinking (white male thinking); therefore computers are both racist and sensitive.

So you're saying Indians think like white people?

Additionally, anesthesiologists have participated in state maternal mortality review committees to determine trends and system issues that can be improved, helped coordinate care for high-risk maternal disease and placenta implantation disorders, and organized and led simulations for obstetrical (OB) hemorrhage. This is of particular importance since the maternal mortality rate from OB hemorrhage is higher in Black women.

A quick wander around the web finds that obstetric hemorrhage (OBH) occurs mostly as post-partum hemorrhage (PPH), and PPH is on the rise across developed countries. Two studies I found showing increased rates are from Norway and New Zealand which, last I checked, have fewer blacks between them than the average NFL squad.

What is increasingly seen as a determining factor is obesity. Do the math on that and you come up with not equal to racism.

Obviously a few trillion $$$ in welfare spending is needed to combat the problem.

The first question that come to mind is ‘what is the general health of the individual just prior to entering the hospital” ie. obesity, existing untreated conditions, genetic predispositions, etc etc.

But I guess we can’t let pivotal facts get in the way of a
heinous narrative.

They are fatter, eat worse diets and get less exercise than white women.

It appears that Climate Change and Systemic Racism, neither of which can be changed, is Killing black women. The only way to stop this travesty seems to be sending them all back to the African nations they descend from.

Hasn't Africa been punished enough?

I don’t think the continent’s economy could take the load.

...suggesting systemic racism seriously impacts maternal health,...

This is an example of the logical fallacy of Causal Reductionism.

>linear thinking (white male thinking)

Not one of these real racists and real communists will dare come out and say what the alternative logic is like and how that would make things better.

That’s because whenever they throw down logic, they replace it with the sort of magic thinking that produces only chaos and dissolution, and in the end boils down to “think and do X because the Big Guy with the weapon said to.”

I don’t even know where to start on this story.
*******
How about starting with the fact that black women in the hood are their own worst enemies, shunning the education needed to manage their health care and pursuing unhealthy habits, such as excessive mask wearing.

Another little assistant professor publishing a poorly thought out but highly sensationalistic piece. The journals love this crap.

Causes of maternal death include the development of blood clots, heart failure, postpartum hemorrhage (excessive blood loss) and pre-eclampsia (extremely high blood pressure).

Lemme guess...

All conditions associated with morbid obesity.

By some accounts half of black babies in the US were murdered before they had a chance to see light or receive even the slightest show of affection to them from their “mothers”.

So cry me a river.
