“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 :(
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
This is gold satire.
We’re not 52nd in the nation in education for nothing!
NGL, you had me going in the first half
Perhaps counting only half of them? or perhaps slightly more than half, say 6/10ths
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 2/3rds, and so 0/5ths is needed immediately to make America great again before my 3rd term election.
“Our maternal death rates are only bad because of inherent racism in our medical industry”
Damn there really isn’t even a quiet part anymore is there
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.
Nope. I think once you exclude women, the maternal death rates will hit their minimum.
Trans men?
As if they’d be counted appropriately.
True. They’d not give them any recognition.
Yeah, now we’re talking.
No, no they cannot.
Sure it can with Trump Math™! The same math the will lower drug prices 1000%, 600%, 500%, 1500% can make this possible!
NaN gang represent
Truly, the only demographic that matters, in cases like these. /s

just because theres a spoiled apple in the bunch doesnt make the rest of us bad
Maybe pick an analogy other than the one that does imply the rest of us are also bad
The joke is just that there isn’t a lot of maternal deaths among men
On my fuck…Dude seriously…you said admitted your racist ass racist bias, what a monster.
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.
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.
I’m sure those rates are way better now. Because of all the beautiful winning.
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?
Ah, I have a modest proposal. Let’s count 60% of maternal deaths from black women. /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 read this in Dennis’s voice
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.
A government can’t possibly serve the whole population. /s
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
As expected racist pieces of shit.

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
And our mass shooting events are pretty low when you don’t count bigoted white men.
