The whole "racism" song and dance is meaningless. There is less racism in America than anywhere else in the world. It's just a social mechanism for leveraging more power and extracting money.
This is from the same kind of people that brought you micro aggresions and made it a crime to like women while wanting to stay a man. They dont give a shit about poverty or the struggles of others. If they did they wouldnt be a massive collection of multimullionairs, billionairs, and the most prideful, vile, manipulative, and vindictive people ive ever seen.
I mean, there's less sexism in Saudi Arabia than there is in Afghanistan; it doesn't mean much. The level of racism in the society says nothing about the particular claim being made in this instance. Studies do show that white health care professionals treat black patients differently than white people. I guess their argument is that economics has much to do with race, and poor economics means less access to medical care. I don't really agree, but to say that there's little racism in this country, is something you'd have to actually demonstrate with the empirical evidence.
Do black patients treat healthcare workers differently than White patients do? Do black patients follow health care instruction differently than White patients do? If either of those answers are yes then you can easily explain this without racism.

"blacks live in desolation in America therefore racism" blatantly ignores that niggers live in desolation the world over.

You'd treat 'em differently too if you were forced to deal with them. Also, link the studies you use if you yourself demand evidence

Correlation != Causation
