Keep pushing that agenda some are buying it, the rest of us are flipping channels

“ I have a very special taco for you”

Higher death rates among Blacks shouldn't surprise anybody. Poorer folks generally have a more unhealthy lifestyle, and they can't always get the best health care. And America's poorest are not white.

People with the do-re-me can buy anything they want. Hundreds of thousands of people are rich in America. They're of every race. Big Pharma and hospitals CHARGE TOP PRICES for anything and everything medical. People of all races are FIRST IN LINE. Veterans healthcare is a JOKE!

Clowns

Is this by design? 🙄

If you’re culture is to eat garbage and not visit the doctors than you’re at risk and it doesn’t matter what your skin color is.

Yup white supremacists are injecting minorities with cancer juice and refusing to treat them. True if big

so now the media claims cancer is racist

Ha, now cancer is racist

Racial disparities will always exist in healthcare, especially if your poor and a minority.

Cancer is fake

When you falsely classify causes of death, you can make up all kinds of spurious facts.

Cómo se puede dar una noticia de esta manera🤦🏻‍♀️ La prensa es colaboradora necesaria de muchas distopias que vivimos

Why is cancer so racist and sexist?

Unbelievable how racist the liberal media is

And in other news👇🏻

A top reason is how black women are ignored and thought to be less believable to medical doctors. It’s showing in the numbers but the stories are the most disheartening.

PROPAGANDA

Can't go one second without mentioning race, can ya?

What are you trying to imply with this shit? That doctors are racist? Hospitals are racist? CANCER is racist?!

Absentee fathers - poor school performance - low IQ - hence more prone to disease, crime, poor health - economic inequality - behavior problems - absentee fathers Not saying this is the correct order, but all are involved. Read 'The Bell Curve' by Murray and Hernstein

gaslighting teleprompters. Keep them fighting over stupid shit

Stop.

yet cardiac arrest is through the roof. wonder why? 🤔 StopTheShots

Go race bait somewhere else.

Why must cancer be so racist!? lmfao you clowns need to read some Thomas Sowell the way you erroneously address disparities.

Wrong!

Oh boy here we go with more racial bullshit from liberal ABC news.

I think early detection and screenings are the key

Cancer is racist

Pure coincidence since the Cigarette companies were forced to admit their products were engineered to be addictive, and those additives supercharged the already cancerous properties of smoke, with associated sin taxes bringing packs up to $10 each, and harm reducing vaping

The racial disparity starts at the corporations sending certain foods to certain economic areas. Bad food=bad diet= bad health.
