I guess since we are talking about black/African American/dark skinned people the underprivileged in whatever race you want to place them in, I'll move forward with what I'm about to say! I'm white/Caucasian/east European or whatever you want to call "light skinned" basically the privileged. Well, I'm a nurse now but I grew up extremely poor and if you think we were treated any different than what you are describing you would be very incorrect and grossly misinformed because we were mistreated, turned away and misdiagnosed because we didn't have money for testing and the normal healthcare people with good insurance had. So, that being said we have had issues with it just like you. You, Oprah Winfrey grew up here in podunk Mississippi and you know the facts but because you've gotten so far above your raising you have decided that only black people are oppressed when that's simply not true. Money is what drives this world especially in healthcare there are so many people with no health insurance or a plan that is affordable but doesn't pay for anything without a high out of pocket amount that you'd still have to make such a high payment to have a test that they cannot afford it. These are the ones who are turned away daily. Not just black and not just some races but all people who are poor and underprivileged are the ones turned away from the testing and treatment needed to be in good health! I'm sick of seeing people whine about the color of their skin being the reason they are mistreated, it's absolutely not that it's definitely your socioeconomic status that determines your life. Don't play into this people it's just one more thing our democratic liberal government wants to push to cause a civil war believe me or not but you will see I'm right if you'd just research t for yourself instead of blindly following what the left has to say.

If you have never watched a documentary on race in American medicine, you should definitely watch _The Color of Care_. If you think you've watched enough documentaries about race in American medicine, you should still watch this one. It is a time capsule of the impact of the early COVID-19 pandemic on minoritized populations in the United States. As a physician, I do not want to believe it is true that sick individuals could be turned away from care, but as story after family story is told in this moving film, I had to come to the realization (yet again) that American medicine does not operate the way I would want it to. As a trained medical historian, I can vouch for the accuracy of the interpretation of how it is that we got to where we are today. We can--must--do better both individually and as a society.

Oprah Winfrey is halfway correct on this. Your ZIP Code does have an impact on what kind of life you live and how long you will live. If you live in a ZIP Code where democrats are in charge, you most likely will die at a younger age. That's because Democrats have a Green New Deal agenda, part of the Green New Deal is to depopulate our planet. Therefore, many of Democrat policies are designed to get rid of their citizens anyway possible. That includes Trojan horse organizations like Planned Parenthood, ( which are usually installed in minority communities to help get rid of minority babies ). Other laws are designed so that criminals have the advantage, and innocent people get killed. Democrats are all about gun control, and trying to confiscate guns. It's only gives criminals more power over law-abiding citizens. Imagine that, Democrats try and strip you of your legal choice of owning a gun to protect yourself, while they walk around with personal security details that are armed to the teeth with high power weaponry guns, which are 100% of the time financed by your tax dollars. 0h the hypocrisy! Oprah wants you to get rid of your gun, while she has armed guards around her at all times. That's because Democrats and people like Oprah think that they are better than you, and that they need to be protected, abut you don't.
