Lancet Medical Journal: 'Racism Is the Public Health Crisis'
[BREITBART] The woke Lancet medical journal praises the Black Lives Matter protests in its latest issue, urging greater activism to overcome white supremacy
...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values...
In an article titled "Racism Is the Public Health Crisis," UK-based Professor of Black Studies Kehinde Andrews asserts that the Black Lives Matter movement "needs to be seen in the wider context of the mobilisations during the 20th century, ranging from civil rights and Black Power to the Third World movements across the globe."

Racism needs to be confronted as a systemic problem embedded in western society and its institutions, Andrews insists, rather than a problem of individual prejudice.

An unfortunate pattern can be detected in how western society deals with crises of racism involving "shock, hand-wringing, and commitment to change, but no commitment to systemic change," Andrews laments.

"Racism is typically reduced to individual acts of prejudice or seen as a series of flashpoints, usually triggered by some violent mostly peaceful act," he writes. "When confronted with an unavoidable truth about the nature of inequality, some politicians and policy makers seem reluctant to come to terms with the realities of structural racism."

#2 What people call racism, I see as 'the prudent exclusion of undeserving cultures from sharing in the fruits of human progress'.

#4 Yes. Obsession with racism to the exclusion of all else, seeing rayciss motives everywhere you look, definitely is a public mental health crisis.

#5 Racism is a big part of totalitarian progressivism the left loves now, so yeah. All of that is a public health crisis.

#6 Look: it's either admit that the differences are more than "skin deep", or hunt for evermore sophisticated workings of racism.

#11 @ #8 - No. They are just a political as our "friends" on the Left. Facts are just a nuisance.

#13 JAMA also jumped on the bandwagon, censoring an editor who questioned the dogma of the day.
