(CNN)Black newborn babies in the United States are more likely to survive childbirth if they are cared for by Black doctors, but three times more likely to die when looked after by White doctors, a study has found. The mortality rate of Black newborns shrunk by between 39% and 58% when Black physicians took charge of the birth, according to the research, which laid bare how shocking racial disparities in human health can affect even the first hours of a person's life.
By contrast, the mortality rate for White babies was largely unaffected by the doctor's race. The findings support previous research, which has shown that, while infant mortality rates have fallen in recent decades, Black children remain significantly more likely to die early than their White counterparts.
Researchers from George Mason University analyzed data capturing 1.8 million hospital births in Florida between 1992 and 2015 for the new study, which was published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, also known as PNAS. When cared for by White physicians, Black newborns were about three times more likely to die in the hospital than White newborns, the researchers found.

What are the chances of them DYING just by Living in a predominately Black Neighborhood? I bet it is at least 10 time higher
riots in 3..2..1
This has to be one of the most evil racist stories perpetrated that I have ever seen.
YESSSSS!!! Bite them! Chew them! Shake them like a rag doll! (Holds black baby up on high with two hands...) Sacrifice the child to Moloch!!!!
Typical Election Season BS.
“Shake the sheets” (KKK robes) at Blacks to get them riled up and to the polls.
It was something like this (Higher Black Heart Attack Rate Due to White Racism) that first opened my eyes to the deliberate bias in the media.
Racial agitation has been at the core of the Democratic Party since its founding.
That seems like a very reasonable possibility. Far more likely than a lot of evil white doctors killing, or even neglecting, black babies in their care.
Doctors at Planned Parenthood, so...
maybe because the white doctors get all the hard cases. Hey we can throw racial aspersions right back.
You think so? If we could ever actually cooperate (some how we can't), we would be driving to the nearest CNN building to actually protest this. However, I digress...(screams)...Kill them all!!! Kill all whitey doctors!!!
AA slots and black rage for the rest..A two-fer
My Bullshitometer pegged and then the needle broke through the case when checking that horrible headline.
I would say that the black babies would die 100% of the time when the mothers went to Planned Parenthood. Ten times if they see white doctors and there are only a few black doctors in the country, so why bother?/sss
SARCASM, nature’s way of dealing with STUPID!
Keep up the program. Driving the wedge between white and black will really work out well!/s
Damn the people who suggest this crap.
The Bakke decision and the story of the man who got into med school instead of Bakke is an interesting cautionary tale.
You probably have a lot of poor black babies seriously ill because their mothers were drug addicted in the cities and they are brought to major urban hospitals which are staffed mostly by white doctors.
In all my experience doctors in these hospitals are the least racist people I can imagine and strive to give absolute care to all their patients even those that can not afford a penny of care.
That’s why I think this is a horrifyingly evil story.
Evil bad disgusting subhuman incompetent uncaring destructive Whites.
They deserve to have everything taken from them and then beat to a pulp in the streets.
- According to the deadly prevailing narrative -
I don’t believe that. Did Joi Reid say this, or maybe Don Lemon? Both like to throw outrageous claims out to the public just to cause more division. They know their network will not fact check what they say.
Yeah, stoke that racism Hussein, ...err,... CNN.
Actually the most dangerous place for a black baby is in the womb, because Planned Parenthood slaughters them all
Most Neonatal Intensive Care Doctors are WHITE!
Truly sick children are treated by White doctors.
Couldn’t get past CNN.
Understand. Kill anyway.
