Black women, like other Blacks, are more tolerant to pain, amirite?

On a serious note, you better watch these people. They almost screwed up my wife's epidural during our daughter's birth and nearly early discharged her too early for another issue. Thankfully we got doctors in our family including her sis to check that shyt.

Yes it’s so important to have medical professionals in the family

I feel fine.

First of all this is an example why this program should not have been under the umbrella of DEI, which DEI includes Hispanics/Asians/White Women/Gay/Trans, etc. This is Bidens fault and he should not have placed this under DEI, this should have been a lineage base tangible.

DEI was another example of everybody else benefiting off of Black people struggles, and Dr. Oyedeji proved what we have been saying:

"A sickle cell project won’t just benefit a person with sickle cell," Oyedeji said. "It’s going to benefit people that have other accelerated aging conditions, other blood disorders, other disorders of older adults; So, it’s not just about one population.”

I stand by what I said. Biden should not have placed Black Americans (FBAs) under DEI, this should have been lineage base tangible for Black Americans (FBAs) with the American government.

For example, Native Americans did not fall under DEI and majority of the programs are protected, because their programs are lineage based:

On April 25, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education (Department) sent a response letter to the National Indian Education Association (NIEA) clarifying its stance on Tribal histories and Native-serving funding and programs. The letter responds to the January 31, 2025, letter NIEA sent to former Acting Secretary Denise Carter regarding Executive Order 14190, and follows NIEA leadership’s meeting with Secretary of Education Linda McMahon on April 23, 2025. The letter was signed by Hayley B. Sanon, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary and Acting Assistant Secretary in the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education.

In its response, the Department affirmed its commitment to “returning education to States and Tribes” and made clear that “American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian history is not classified as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) or critical race theory (CRT), and the Department will not treat Native history as DEI or CRT.”

The Department further acknowledged the unique political and legal relationship between Tribal Nations and the United States, and confirmed that statutory grant programs serving Native students will continue:
“The United States has a unique political and legal relationship with federally recognized Indian Tribes, as set forth in the Constitution of the United States, treaties, executive orders, and court decisions. We continue to deliver on all statutory grant programs that support American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian students and are identifying ways to deliver support while reducing bureaucratic red tape and ensuring parental rights remain a national priority.”

The letter concludes by stating that the Department looks forward to “visiting and consulting with Indian Tribes, Alaska Native Villages, and Native Hawaiian Organizations and their leadership to empower high-quality education for all students.”
Jason Dropik, NIEA Executive Director, said of the letter:
“We are grateful to Secretary McMahon and Acting Assistant Secretary Hayley Sanon for their letter affirming what Native communities have long known—that Native history is not DEI or CRT, and that the Department’s programs and funding sources are essential components of the federal government’s trust and treaty obligations to Native education. As the federal government considers restructuring its role in education, we recognize the significant concerns within our communities and among the schools that serve our children. Affirmative statements like this help ease those concerns and reaffirm the Department’s commitment to Tribal Nations, Tribal educators, and Native-serving Local Education Agencies. We look forward to welcoming the Department to Indian Country and to collaborating closely on future Tribal consultations.”

Unironically, the head of the fukking HHS feels that way.



Not only would we have anti-vax blacks putting us at risk (they have valid concerns but its way overblown for many), you would have a dummy non-doctor giving separate health standards for black people. It's the same with doctors giving black women less care/drugs because they assume she is able to withstand more pain, etc. It's a full-blown fukking eugenics cult ready to roll back everything and systematically drop the average black lifespan.

Death by 1000 cuts sponsored by the government.

I need to see Donah.Trum burn. Like literally.

 

[Amerikan Melanin]

So where are the lawsuits? Why isn’t this being challenged in court?

Why aren’t people turning to lineage based studies instead of race based?

We gonna sit and cry about shyt or be proactive?

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Come on man. This is targeted oppression.

@JohnWilkesBooth

Trump is pure evil.

Yes.

You remember tens of millions of Americans saying that at the top of their lungs right before the election?
