Make no mistake. There is a race war against Whites in this nation. In the past it was only about Blacks vs. Whites. But the huge numbers of Hispanics have expanded this race war and given the Democrats new political power to use it against Whites.

This is true. But Blacks could also say the same about hispanics too, who are usurping their much needed community resources.

Every so often they gotta fan the embers of the slowly dying ‘racism fire’ to keep it going…

Lack of self motivation and discipline, combined with genetics and environmental impact have something to do with personal health as well I believe. Now excuse me as I eat a healthy breakfast and start my daily exercise.

Fatherless homes have spawned a public security crisis. There, I fixed the headline.

If you’re not black or latino, you’re responsible for the excess morbidity in those populations? Don’t believe I’ll follow that science, either.

Because it’s not science, it’s ideology. There isn’t even one actual doctor on the staff or board of IPHI. It’s mostly Public Health degrees, which is a fake, interdisciplinary degree that focuses primarily on social justice nonsense to promote ‘public health’.

Correct, debtor. MPH (Master of Public Health), like MSW (Master of Social Work) degrees are the very easiest “advanced degrees” to get; in both cases beginning pay is about $45K, if that. As the Dean Emeritus of the UIC School of Social Work once told me, “Anyone with a room – temperature IQ and is able to just show up can get a MSW, it’s the very easiest degree to get”, lol… I once worked at a non -profit where many of the staff had MPH degrees, they were dumb beyond belief; basically it’s a field for SJW losers… Advanced… Read more »

My rando thoughts: “We know that as climate change is expected to worsen, this will have many health consequences,” she said. —-Yes, this is true, and climate change will mean a warmer Illinois with longer summers….which means more drive-by shootings, stabbings and young hoodlum violence! “Racism is both a cross-cutting issue and a standalone priority because it is at the root of many, if not all health issues,” —Really, the root of all health issues are caused by racism? Really? Does anyone really believe this? “This type of racism happens when health care workers hold racial biases against patients, whether… Read more »

And there’s people that say we can’t cut spending in this state by 50%. I see a whole organization that can be cut.

Racism.

There was a time when racism was real, but that was decades ago and that time is long passed.

The constant drumbeat of racism has come to mean nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Ever heard the one about the kid that cried wolf too often?

These claims of racism now fall on deaf ears.

I, for one, am sick of it!
