Are they even better if you only look at the rich folks?

I want that line used as the default example of prejudice, in dictionaries.

This man should be put in a sack and beaten

They’re even better if you only count white men

There's some truth to his statement as far as the numbers go and perhaps some correction is needed. Obviously, you wouldn't want to entirely remove the stats of African American women, as that would be blatantly racist, but it seems some for of compromise is warranted.

Perhaps counting only half of them? or perhaps slightly more than half, say 6/10ths

Ah, I have a modest proposal. Let's count 60% of maternal deaths from black women. /s

Dudes a piece of shit still, but the article is 3 years old.

"Our maternal death rates are only bad because of inherent racism in our medical industry"

"For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality"

🤦

And our mass shooting events are pretty low when you don't count bigoted white men.

Here's an article about it that can actually be read.

As expected racist pieces of shit.

Damn there really isn't even a quiet part anymore is there

This is from 3 years ago.

So you're going to do something to lower the maternal death rate for black women, right?

Funniest headline The Onion could have ever come up with!!!!

Maybe the medicaid cuts will make the black women count rise faster than the white women count, and that will make it ok :(

In an interview with Politico, the following words came out of Cassidy’s mouth: “About a third of our population is African American; African Americans have a higher incidence of maternal mortality. So, if you correct our population for race, we’re not as much of an outlier as it’d otherwise appear. Now, I say that not to minimize the issue but to focus the issue as to where it would be. For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality.”

Scum POS. I'm sure he will start fixing the issue instead contributing to it.

What an inbred donkey.

Y’all need to appreciate that Louisiana’s batshit MAGAs finally ran the table and it’s something like a mix of Florida and Mississippi but with a lot more heat and pollution.

 👀

The quiet part out loud.

A Louisiana Senator saying something racist? Not News worthy.

Donald Trump and his Nazi ass bullshit let people like this walk and talk free. Fuck all of them.

That's who these people are and they're fucking all over the US. They're everywhere. The Confederacy is alive and well in the US. Are they making a comeback? Just look at people like Hegseth, and we all know these types voted for trump.

Articles from 2022 citing 'if Roe is overturned' are a bit past their expiration date.

This article is from 2022, for anyone wondering before you click

I'm sure he doesn't think this sounds racist

Weep at the fact that America is a country where a senator thinks that's an okay thing to say

Republican Jacky Eubanks said in a recent interview with the site Church Militant

Church…militant? That’s the most unsettling site name I’ve maybe ever seen

"If you correct our population for race..."

Like the Nazis tried to do. The Republican program.

Our maternal death rates are the best if we only count white men!

Oh what a piece of shit.

Is it though? They still look higher than the national average.

This is exactly why we don’t have sufficient public services in this country. You name it; healthcare, education, labor rights, infrastructure development.

Because people who aren’t white would have access.

"... which we don't. "

Louisiana Senator: Our Maternal Death Rates Are Only Bad If You Count Our Most Vulnerable Populations

If you ignore marginalized and oppressed citizens then all kinds of things look great! Wealth, education, home ownership, health. Why did no one think of this before?

Problem solved, then, I guess?

Three years old article.

Next, he'll propose counting them with a 60% weighting.
