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

We're not 52nd in the nation in education for nothing!

Very strong scientific and historical basis for going with 3/5ths. But if some stats make America look bad, I think 0/3rds would fix it, and fire the agency lead if they don't go with 0/5ths of a person for black women. America was great when it was 3/5ths, and so 0/5ths is needed immediately to make America great again before my 3rd term election.

They’re even better if you only count white men

Those numbers can go down even further if you exclude everyone who isn’t a millionaire.

Sure it can with Trump Math™! The same math the will lower drug prices 1000%, 600%, 500%, 1500% can make this possible!

Nope. I think once you exclude women, the maternal death rates will hit their minimum.

As if they’d be counted appropriately.

True. They'd not give them any recognition.

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

🤦

so close...

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 :(

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

[-] pixelkitty@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

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

[-] Blumpkinhead@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

What an inbred donkey.

[-] rainwall@piefed.social 0 points 1 week ago

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

[-] EndOfLine@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

We wouldn't want people to forget what a racist Sen Bill Cassidy is.

I hope this article makes the rounds again next year, right around the time he is up for reelection.

It's a spambot with an agenda. And oh my did people get mad at pointing that out.
