-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Said Dr. David Ansell, the chief health equity officer at Rush University Medical Center, "People’s housing is different. Their schools are different. They live in unsafe neighborhoods. They have different access to food, different access to health care and different access to jobs. And these life conditions create the social inequities that drive poor health."

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The failings of the black race has been blamed on whitey for decades. Nothing new here, move along please.
If race doesn’t exist, how can anyone be a racist?
Also, why does every black in the world who isn’t already in the USA want to come to the USA? That’s odd. What a racist place that others die to get here. LOL
And constant drug use, alcoholism, obesity, poor food choices have nothing to do with it. Its the choices made by the black and brown population that cause this not the fantasy of systemic racism.
It’s your fault decades of failed Dem leaders and race-baited blacks, who overwhelmingly vote for Dem leaders, have seen their communities deteriorate under the very same Dem leadership.
It’s your fault! Atone!
