On the first day of Black History Month, we take a look at how racism shapes healthcare in America. We speak with Dr. Uché Blackstock about her new book, Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine. The best-selling book tells her family's story through multiple generations of Black women physicians while revealing the history of racism that created today's disparities in medical training and treatment in America. "I use my mother's story and my story to really emphasize how deeply embedded systemic racism is in our country, in the past and in the present," says Blackstock. "There is nothing biologically wrong with Black people … but there is something very wrong with the social institutions, not just healthcare, within our country that are deeply embedded with bias and racism."

Some people will get it, while others will not, but we must continue to share these stories.
Basically, your point is, stupid people will agree.
Hats off to Uché (pun avoided) and to democracy now for covering this blaring problem of inequality and how it’s gone under the radar of most media outlets.
Dr. Uché Blackstock is such an inspiring advocate - thank you so much for giving her this platform.
"The New Jim Crow ". Michelle Alexander. Excellent read about racism.
Keep on striving to supercede all the challenges you might be undergoing. Thanks for opening our eyes
excellent interview. Sad to see the Black Community still going thru this among women for proper Health Care. Time for this to stop . Blessing to Dr.Blackstock .
Thank you so much Dr. Blackstock for keeping focus on this
Happy Black History Month
what an amazing person and story
Good Morning everyone, from Kahului!
There's so much wrong with the healthcare system in the US and underpinning it all is how awful for profit healthcare is. Anyone working to make any part of it better is a friend of the people. Solidarité.
Thank you Dr Blackstock and Amy Goodman DN .
Thanks.
There are many stories in this jungle we call civilized but are not‼️
I lived with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma fort too many years and now I’m unable to receive the benefits of the case against Roundup.
We get nothing for our years of suffering and pain, unable to stand or walk properly, .. . Thanks to inadequate care.
I fully expect to die homeless or worse.
Meanwhile the States like California profit off the sales‼️
There are too many bad people in Government willing to to trade our lives for their fun, power and riches👁🔔👁
Hope we get a documentary based in that book
No "Medical Apartheid: . . . " is the book that needs a doc . . .
Thank you, Amy.
Growing up, my mother was a black nurse. I myself became an x-ray technician. I worked in many hospitals from New Jersey to Florida, and I noticed that most of the nurses were from Jamaica or other islands with a distain for black Americans. I remember reading an article at the time where a white doctor objected to the United States, going to Jamaica, and other islands to train black women to become Nurses and work in the United States. Systematic racism is carefully woven into a tightly unbreakable rule of thumb. When I was young in my 20s, I was recruited, for a job with eastern airlines, they flew us to Texas for training, we were three black women out of 100 white women. We studied all night until five in the morning and we had to be at class at seven.. The white students slept all night, we wondered why? Later we came to find out that they had given the white students booklets to study before they came to class in Texas.
This racist, bigot, hateful, cruel system, tells us to get a job, but make sure you don’t succeed, this is where the phrase comes in. We have to work harder and be smarter just to get around the racism and the blatant bigotry. Then we hear that they tell people coming into this country that we are lazy and criminals, and they believe it. I don’t believe what they say about anybody coming in from any country or me going to their country, but people are so happy to distance themselves from us but we don’t give a damn we’ve always been alone in this world, And handle it very well
why don't more people speak up?
When will they stop using that 13% number? That has to be a LIE!
With all Dr. Charles Richard Drew did when it came to long term storage of Blood Plasma . . . you should see how he was treated . . .
Good Rising @DeTAYL
Hope you're doing well.
Peace and Blessings to you ❤

I want to explain why there are so few Black Medical Doctors in this Country..... Abraham Flex Report
Why are too many Black Doctors in the United States of America not from America❓
This too is a hindrance to the positive medical care of Foundational Black Americans.
wow the way she was cut off at the end really sucked. such an important topic and to be heard is so key. great interview so sorry she was cut off at the end.
I do not know if it is racism or not. I just that when you go yo the doctor ask questions, take notes, and if you feel uncomfortable do not return. I had my son when I was forty and received excellent care at all levels. I again have some health concerns and continue to receive excellent care. I ask lots of questions and take lots of notes. I do my own research as well.
Well fuck, she should rethink her whole book then. Someone should let her know the answer to racial disparities in healthcare treatment and access has always just been "ask more questions." Jfc.
I think her book is important. There are always examples of good health care regardless of race however, overall health care is lacking in communities that are not white and/or wealthy.
Healthcare has to include some focus on race. The priority is to improve the quality of our healthcare for everybody which should always take priority to your business interests.
Nobody is focused on "race" these days. They were back in the 1950s.
@@X2LR8 On the contrary. They make us hate each other once again. Everything is race nowadays, so no one listens anymore about real stories when some invent stories for popularity like Jessie Smollette.
When you see the health disparities laid out- they are so stark.
Oh man a patient asking where their doctor went to school, how horrifying....
If cannabis was legal decades ago there would be less overdoses and jailed for synth drugs n guns crap...imho
This really angers me. Who cares what color your skin is? My Primary Care Physician is Jamaican. She is excellent. My dermatologist is Palestinian and phenominal. My oncologist is white and superb. I don't consider their skin color as a factor. Their ability to care for me is the only factor that i consider period.
We are still singing this same song ...racism ... racism but we refuse to become self sufficient, defend ourselves and determine our own destiny. .Former masters and their successors are not going to let you rise to a level to threaten their supremacy.
To me, there's nothing convincing here that the medical system is racist. I came to this video concerned and hoping to hear examples. There's statistics of disparities but no proof of the reason for those differences, just assumption that it must be racism. I don't see anything but economics, people's health plans given better or worse insurance, and individual choices causing differences in health outcomes.
Rockefeller Medicine was made hegemonic with the Flexnor Report. Amy Goodman was totally in lockstep with Rockefeller Medicine during the pandemic!
Hey UA-cam!!!! According to your own rules, misinformation is not allowed!!! Why is this conspiracy monger's crap still posted????????????????? Where are your censor bots?????????? Are they only used to censor the truth?????????
I’m supposed to believe high price private concierge physicians neglected one of the most famous female athletes of all time (also a billionaire) because she’s black?
You will understand if you were black. My former doctor likes to dismiss my concerns and I had to get a second opinion. Racism EXISTS 100% in America and has never END.
They didn't listen to her!!!
The title of this report grabs my stomach. Crushes me that human beings are treated differently by doctors, nurses, and hospitals because they are African American. SCOTUS tells us, while they are fishing, sailing, and getting their homes paid for, that racism is ¿over?
Go to African-American doctors. Problem solved.
This is old news. You don't a new book rehashing the data that's been around for many decades now. Who is going to something about it? That's what I want to know.
Is there ever a good reason to stop doing research and educating people? Especially with the kind of ignorance and bigotry in the US.
Besides, she just talked about social service organizations connecting people from marginalized groups with treatment. They sound like they're doing something about it.
Dumb take.
how does racism shape sickcare in the US? I 'm white, i had no insurance, needed a hip replacement and had to wait 6 months to get Obamacare ... vs. if I were poor, an immigrant or had some crisis, I would have had insurance immediately. I've had to suffer for 6 months, walking on 2 canes living by myself trying to take care of animals and myself. try bringing in groceries walking on 2 canes....
EXACTLY
In what state do you live?
Exactly, spot on.
All the more reason we need Medicare for All folks. Everybody should get the same healthcare. What your failing to address here though is the disparity of how the wealthy get priority over everyone else. Mayo clinic is actually one of the worst hospitals you can go to if you're not wealthy or famous. They always get more attention than the masses of poor and middle class. They always get the highest level doctors and best facilities available. Privatized healthcare increases administrative spending and increasing the overall cost for everyone.
@@KimJongReynolds so it's based on wealth not race.
This report came out in 1910? That was also the era of Eugenics, right? So you are basing your findings on a report from 1910? And you are telling us that the white doctors do not take the same care when it comes to black women? I find that highly questionable.
Does racism drive the obesity epidemic within select US demographics?
Of course. It's called redlining.
The only remaining structural/institutional racism left in this country is Affirmative Action and DEI.
Huh. Then why are those programs only condemned by racists?
Black students can have a lower GPA and still get in to medical school. I want my doctor to be the best not a diversity hire same with airline pilots
😂
This is AMERICA everyone dream of !!!
You lost me when you said that race was a social construct. Lol.
If you DON'T know that you are lost. Race was "INVENTED" by the COLONIZERS. Blacks in America are the only group who's RACE has changed over and over and over and over.
Are you claiming it’s biological ?
@@ShizukaRose , you must be a blue haired freak, huh? Which is also biological. Lol.
It is a social construct that is ever present and needs to be eradicated. The colour of one's skin is embedded deeply in all our institutions. This is not new but sadly continues.
When you grow up, you might learn about the human race. But being home schooled, I don't believe you will.
Happy Black History Month
