It is one thing for a white kid to die from playing golf or tennis, and another to pass laws, giving a free reign to those who are more than willing to torture

It is one thing for a white kid to die from playing golf or tennis, and another to pass laws, giving a free reign to those who are more than willing to torture colored kids to death.
- throw0101a 5y agoA good many died from tuberculosis and not being 'tortured to death'. Even now, TB has high mortality rates in less developed areas: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberculosis#Epidemiology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuberculosis#Epidemiology And pre-1945 the entire planet would be considered 'undeveloped' by modern medical standards.
- ignoramous 5y agoI don't necessarily disagree with the point that mortality numbers may have been inflated due to lack of modern-day medicine, but I doubt access to it would have changed much, given the epidemic of systemic racism and the kind of violent behaviour it has entailed in the past.
