“For whatever reason, people of color have a higher incidence of maternal mortality”
🤦
so close…
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.
What an inbred donkey.
hey, donkeys are noble creatures that bond with their human and can even emotionally reciprocate.
this thing is a husk of a human being stuffed with fascist fecal matter.
Dudes a piece of shit still, but the article is 3 years old.
It’s a spambot with an agenda. And oh my did people get mad at pointing that out.
but the article is 3 years old.
So you think he has learned from his mistakes and improved his atrocious stance?
Im impressed that you managed to read the second half of my comment without reading the first. The whole comment is a dozen words, so thats a real feat.
I did read it, I just found questionable as it seems you are dismissing this as too old to care
Cassidy is still a Senator and a piece of shit, so what does it matter if the racist thing he said is 3 years old?
I literally said hes still a piece of shit, so that should answer your first question. As to “how is this not relevant?”
The article is talking about what might happen if Roe is overturned by the supreme court, and what that might mean down the line. That happened already. We are out of “might” and are several years down the line.
Lets talk about what’s currently happening, now. Discussing a speculative article about changes that “may occur in the future” is pretty odd when we are 3 years in the future and can literally tell the article what happened.
I mean, you could have just said all that… we are not mind readers, you know?
I’m sure those rates are way better now. Because of all the beautiful winning.
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.
A Louisiana Senator saying something racist? Not News worthy.
👀
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.
Here’s an article about it that can actually be read.
He continued: “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.”
Maybe you should look into that, Senator.
Oh, it’s probably just genetic, just like how black and Hispanic men are uniquely genetically qualified to labor in the fields … /S
Damn there really isn’t even a quiet part anymore is there

This is from 3 years ago.
Ah, I have a modest proposal. Let’s count 60% of maternal deaths from black women. /s
A government can’t possibly serve the whole population. /s
I might be wrong, Frank, but my reading of the text says that freed slaves fall under “the whole Number of free Persons” and thus count as 1, not three fifths.
The three fifths compromise just said slave states shouldn’t get to count slave population to get more representatives. The non-slave states wanted them not to count at all, since they don’t get representation regardless. It’s wild to me that we think of the “three fifths of all other persons” thing as the bad part, rather than the “rich assholes who owned people got more representation than those who didn’t own people because the people they owned counted toward their representative allotments.” After all, the slave owners wanted slaves to count as a full person. The problem, as always, was slavery.
I don’t think it’s that “three fifths” is the only bad part per se, it just gets referenced a lot because it is a really indefensible example of how enslaved people were considered less than a person. So much so that here it is codified as a fraction of a person. Very in your face sort of language.
I think although very vivid language it is quite defensible for the reasons Kuni mentioned: in the only context where slaves were actually defined as 3/5 of a person, all they could do was allow their masters to extract extra value through representation from them, as they did not get representation for being counted towards House representation.
I read this in Dennis’s voice
We’ll call it the…60% Compromise. Got a nice ring to it.
With gerrymandering that number is often much lower these days. We’ve ended up with even worse than the 3/5
The quiet part out loud.
After midterms, especially if the republicans manage to cheat enough to still gain seats, some of them will go “N****r, n****r, n****r!” on live television, then racists will go “We’re so fucking back!”, then work on how to strip black Americans of their human rights with the help of Clarence Thomas.
And our mass shooting events are pretty low when you don’t count bigoted white men.
Donald Trump and his Nazi ass bullshit let people like this walk and talk free. Fuck all of them.
