Black maternal mortality in US and its slave origins

27 thoughts on “Black maternal mortality in US and its slave origins”

1. Exactly the same thing is happening in the UK. 5 time more likely to die.

2. I've already decided if my pregnancy is not high risk. I'm having a home birth.

3. PROTECT BLACK WOMEN.

4. What the police do to black men, the medical institutions do to our women… this needs to change, we need to go to our own black doctors and stay away from all others

5. This is a sad state, how Doctors in modern day medicine & in modern Day still gives a f*** about black americans, especially black women. And even later on complications pop up in our children due to poor care from birth………. This is truely a f*** UP WORLD

6. We need more black health care workers/ providers..Would there be statistics on black doctors with surviviability of black patients… another issue..Covid survivors have higher vitamin d..black s often have low vit d. Also high rate of high blood pressure in black community which leads to pregnancy problems..also limit how many babies you have..

7. What are they taking from the bodies of black women!

8. “Black morality” oxymoron if I’ve ever heard one

9. This is what makes me afraid to have children 😢 and why I strongly believe women should have a choice to either have kids or not.

10. The system can not be reformed, it has been resistant to any meaningful change. The very foundation is the cause of the rest of the malfesance of the entire house. It was built on lies, deceit, theft, murder, betrayal, and enslavement. A contactor is not going to keep adjusting someones roof if in fact the foundation is faltering, or the soil under it is sinking. There needs to be a new house built by the people with fair labor with honesty and integrity as main supports and a solid commitment to human rights at all levels above and beyond monetary and commodity concerns. There needs to be a new engine, one that doesn't spew out toxins like racism, sexism, classcism, ageism, area codes and zip addresses, exploitation, militarism, hegemony, superiority, unilaterialism, domination, colonization, secretive agency's, assassination hit teams, foreign interventions in internal matters of any sovereign nation, privileges of permanent seats on the security council at the United Nations, privileges of having a sole permanent veto vote at the U.N., profering propaganda about the 'rule of law' or 'no ones above the law'. Over throwing democratically elected government's in favor of dictatorships or military junta's. Blockading and sanctioning entire nations of human beings because of disagreeable heads of states. Voting for war yet not a single casted vote for such action failed to show up for their duties to dispatch by their commander to the conflict zone. Secret budgets and agency's that can not account for their expenditures. Failing perrenially to mail each and every citizen a copy of the government's true fiscal budget, including expenditures and debts owing and projected revenues and the sources. Spending a half trillion dollars a year on N.A.T.O. and their war games to keep an adverserial role with what was an ally to rid the World of the Nazi scourage. Talk about fighting terrorism in the world while engaged in terrorist activities at home and abroad. Consistently violating the sovereign rights of Indigenous nations while asserting caretaker responsibilities while abandoning them to poverty, despair, sucide, addictions, preventable illnesses and diseases. Violating human rights laws by allowing the klu Klux klan, Nazi's, and other hate groups to terrorize and murder whom ever they target, to allow a well funded lobbyists like the N.R.A. to dictate gun ownership and use of fire arms as loosely as possible. To build and to hold massive numbers of prisoners that many a Black youth have been railroaded into by blockading any reasonable expectation of holding onto steady good paying jobs or career opportunity's. Sentencing a Black man who is innocent of a crime to twenty years of solitary confinement and then calling the sentencing a mistake. Ripping foreign countries off of their resources and then offering them a loan from the I.M.F. Holding extra judicial power's that usurp the constitution and making dicissions about who lives and dies. Maintaining a site such as Guantanamo and other secret sites which routinely practice torture or outright murder to intimidate a community to comply or to flee from home, community, and nation. The system, the State was not built on honesty or integrity nor does it discontinue its use of disceit, violence, or hypocrisy. A new house built by the people for the people of the people are the ones to build a house which practices it's anthem of justice and liberty for all people of it's society while maintaining a reality of honour and respect towards all human beings so that a more perfect union can be realized between all nations, that all the people of the sovereign nations may have a reasonable expectation of a dignified and honourable life.
    Individual and nation state security is achieved and maintained through honesty, integrity, regard, respect, sharing and open dialogue to solve conflicts and arguments and disagreements because life is too precious to destroy, we did not plant the seed that grew into an amazing world of color, shape, depth, texture, dimension, taste, sensation, aroma's, feelings, thoughts, idea's. We need a majority vote of Yes to Life then no one has to cry anymore, to suffer anymore, to say goodbye, or believe it's for sure the end when in reality it's the first day of forever. It comes down to what do we choose for the earth and humanity? What do we choose for ourselves? It doesn't have to be the 'way it is'. May we see the wisdom and choose it. The earth was given as a beautiful woman and a loving mother. It's dirty and cruel to think anything less of her, she is the embodiment of the living promise, heavenly, radiant, magnificent beauty. See what there is to love one another for rather than detest and hate one another for, it's one heartbeat. That we could all hear as well as we believe we can see. All the hearts beating in the world right now. Listen to the song.

11. I'm currently going through the same issue while being 5mos pregnant. My obgyn ignore my concerns. I'm so stressed about it

12. I’m on my third pregnancy…first was a forced C-Section, second was a V-Bac that I absolutely demanded and this one is going to be a home birth. I REFUSE TO PLAY GAMES WITH MY LIFE OR THAT OF MY CHILD! Oh and it’s a boy 👦🏾!!!! Yay!

13. IT IS A LOT BETTER IN AFRICA.

14. OMG this happened to me with my first child. I found out later that my experience was not normal and was negligent. 😢 I pretty much took my health care into my own hands with my second child and educated myself to form a birth plan instead of just trusting the hospital to care for me. They still tried to bully me into a C-section. They tried to guilt trip me that I was putting my baby at risk but I was determined not to let them cut me again. Thank God we made it out okay.

15. Cancer

16. I’m white- I had 3 traumatic births. And almost died all three times. This is deeper than just race

17. Gynecology all in all is grimly. You can thank the women who elect c sections. Idk why this is surprising??? Watch the business of being born on Netflix

18. Race pandering ABC FILTH

19. This had been happening for years, racist doctors think that people of color do not feel pain or exaggerated their pain because and this is true, because they want drugs 🙄🙄🙄🙄

20. ❤️❤️❤️ if you see this comment I hope you have the best day ever and if something is wrong and holding you down remember God is all ways with you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

21. I’m tired of the ABC racist rants! ABC being racist! Stop!

22. …and a lot of these stats are because some do not get prenatal care. Saying this is because it’s a holdover from slavery is as stupid as it sounds. However, those OB clinicians need to realize individuality. Believe your patient and act.

23. Capitalism.

24. I’m seeing some comments dismissing what happens to BW when we go in to give birth. It’s 2020 not the early 1900s and things like this shouldn’t be happening. For God sake, Tennis superstar millionaire Serena Williams wasn’t taken seriously when she experiencing health issues after giving birth. She almost died of of a blood clot and had to continue to advocate for herself to get a CT scan in which the blood clot was discovered. I’m a married black woman of 25 years with health insurance and I wasn’t taken seriously about my labor pains because it wasn’t showing up on the machine that I was attached too and wasn’t given an epidural until the last minutes. My husband wasn’t there yet (he was on his way) because our son was being born on his birthday so I didn’t have anyone there advocating with me. They don’t listen to us. We know wtf is happening . Educate yourself instead of being so willing to dismiss the experiences of others that you know nothing about.

25. What are the solutions? What countries are better?

26. I remember I came across a nursing textbook
    Being stereotypical towards different ethnicity. See for yourself I think it’s the “Pearson textbook for nurses”

27. Health issues , Racism my ass👎🏻ABC🗑
