>> 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.”

Exactly.

Well believe me, I’ve debugged code that was written by “non-linear” thinkers.

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

Which is a result of the state of the mother’s health. It’s not the doing of the medical community causing it.

My sister was an ER Nurse in Detroit. Certain tasks could only be done by black nurses, such as having to tell some women they “have to keep themselves clean”.

That speaks volumes on so many levels.

High blood pressure happens to be about 50% higher in blacks as well. Obesity is only 20% higher, so there very well could just be a racial component in high blood pressure.

In other news, obesity is a sign of poverty.

“ High blood pressure happens to be about 50% higher in blacks as well. Obesity is only 20% higher, so there very well could just be a racial component in high blood pressure.”

For reasons like this, I am in favor of keeping statistics by race for medical research but not for anything else. Other statistics by race only benefit the bean counters and the race hustlers. They do nothing to bring about benefits for the country or for individual liberty or opportunity.

Agreed.

Hard to put the genie back in the toothpaste tube, however.

We don’t know the cause so it must be racism!

Oh yeah. Racism by Whites is responsible for every bad thing in the world. Do they really expect anyone to believe this crap?
