What you really don't like is that while not all conservatives or Republicans are racists most racists vote for conservatives and Republicans. There is no other 'home' for them on the political spectrum.

As for the moronic statement below? That is NOT the latest news; Google the underlined segment and see if you can find support for your remark. What I found is typical of the search results. And it follows that no money is being raised because of that.

By the way the latest news in the medical word states that even cancer is now racist so more money I earned can be handed out again and again.

Life-Threatening Disparities: The Treatment of Black and White Cancer Patients

Abstract

Cancer mortality and survival rates are much poorer for Black patients than for White patients. We argue that Black–White treatment disparities are a major reason for these disparities. We examine three specific kinds of Black–White treatment disparities: disparities in information exchange in oncology interactions, disparities in the treatment of breast cancer, and disparities in the treatment of clinically localized prostate cancer.

In the final section, we discuss possible causes of these disparities, with a primary focus on communication within medical interactions and the role that race-related attitudes and beliefs may play in the quality of communication in these interactions.

Summary/Conclusion

There are substantial and important Black–White disparities in the quality of communication and information exchange during oncology interactions and in the quality of the treatments Black and White cancer patients receive. To be sure, there are many instances in which there are no Black–White disparities in these interactions and treatments, but when there is a disparity, it is without exception Black patients who are disadvantaged, relative to the Whites.

As we noted in the introduction to this article, most research on health care disparities, including our own, has focused on Black–White disparities in the United States. But as we also noted earlier, health care disparities due to some social or group characteristic is not what the Nobel Laureate Gunnar Myrdal once called an “American Dilemma.”

Among major industrial countries, the United States is unique in the extent to which its health care system is privatized. There is, of course, ample evidence that structural differences in the quality of health care systems available to patients contribute substantially to health disparities (Smedley et al., 2003).

Thus, the financial underpinnings of a country's health care system can play a major role in health disparities. However, public health data from a large number of countries suggest that disadvantaged ethnic/racial minorities systematically experience worse health and receive poorer health care than members of majority ethnic/racial groups throughout the world, across political systems, geographic regions, and health care financing systems.

Thus, we would argue that the basic processes responsible for the disparities in cancer care for Blacks in the United States are probably operative around the world, although certainly they may differ in the specific forms they take and the extent to which they exist.

Moreover, it is extremely important to recognize that the consequences of health care disparities extend beyond possible emotional and psychological distress in patients who experience these kinds of inequities. Consider, for example, Bach et al.'s (2002) work on cancer-related deaths in the United States. After an extensive meta-analysis, Bach et al. concluded that an unknown, but certainly substantial portion of higher mortality and lower survival rates among Blacks with cancer, relative to Whites with this disease, is due to preventable Black–White health care disparities.

Indeed, when cancer treatment disparities were controlled in the meta-analysis, the differences in mortality/survival became very small. Given that these disparities are preventable, it is the responsibility of professionals who provide and study health care to strive to reduce these life-threatening disparities.
