Neonatal what? When drug addicted babies are white

[Malt-O-Meal]

White people aint ish I tell you. So I'm listening to news and they run a clip discussing the drug addiction issues in the white community and about babies being born with what they call "neonatal abstinence syndrome". I'm like neonatal what? So I look it up and it's just babies born addicted to opiates, essentially "heroin babies".

Ain't this some sh1t? When black children were born addicted to crack/cocaine, they were referred to as "crack babies", now that there is an increasing amount of white babies born addicted to drugs they want to be all proper and invent a name for it.
And of course now it's a crisis.

Here's an excerpt on it:

Dramatic Increases in Maternal Opioid Use and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome


Use of opiates during pregnancy can result in a drug withdrawal syndrome in newborns called neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). A new study to determine the extent, context, and costs of NAS found that incidence of NAS is rising in the United States. There was a five-fold increase in the proportion of babies born with NAS from 2000 to 2012,

Here's an article I found on it

https://www.google.com/amp/www.usne...es-cdc-report-shows?context=amp?client=safari

Incidence rates of the condition, called neonatal abstinence syndrome, were highest of late among infants born in Maine, Vermont and West Virginia, where they exceeded 30 per 1,000 births. Rates were lowest in Hawaii and South Dakota.

The report comes as the nation is grappling with a massive opioid epidemic tied to the use of medications like the prescription painkillers oxycodone and hydrocodone, as well as the illegal narcotic heroin. Women who use these highly addictive drugs during pregnancy can pass them on to their developing fetus, making them drug-dependent.

Smh at it being an epidemic when it affects white people smh.

It legit pissed me off. I had a family member addicted to drugs and 2 of my cousins were born addicted to drugs. I saw the stigma and even news reporters as well as medical professionals were calling these babies "crack babies". There was no sympathy for drug addicts, it wasn't looked at like a disease and even the babies weren't spared. Fukk these people. This is some bs and I'm not voting for no leniency or changes that benefit them.
