More Than One Medical Student At UVA Believes Black People Don't Feel Pain

[Cigar]

Not. The. Onion.


Being black in most places in the world is, by and large, a disadvantage. In America, for example, police are more likely to arrest you if you are black, jobs are less likely to call you back if your name sounds black, and just about all of your cultural capital is sure to find its way, more profitably, in the hands of a white person.

Now, alas, black people can add “white doctors really think we’re invincible” to the list of pains in the asses we have to deal with on a regular basis. According to a study conducted at the University of Virgina, more than 111 medical students belive non-truths about black people, like the idea that our blood coagulates faster than white people’s. From UVA’s press release:...

This is horrible but ultimately unsurprising. When Darren Wilson shot Michael Brown in Ferguson Missouri, he claimed that Brown charged through a barrage of bullets and plenty of white people bought it, citing Brown’s size and “power” as if those things somehow make bullets less painful. In fact, white people have a long history of classifying black people as other worldy and immune to “normal” humanity....

Still, you’d think a room full of doctors in 2016 would be able to offer an emphatic “NO” to a dumbass question like whether or not black people have less sensitive nerve endings. But then again, white people can be astonishing.

Just another addition to the litany of "reasons" people sought to marginalize black people throughout history. "poor night vision" as a reason blacks cannot be good pilots, "low IQ" as the reason blacks can't be quarterback, etc....

However, there is one category that those same people seem to want to say blacks excel and are better than their white counterparts...being racist.

Go figure.

Good luck with your goal of ensuring that absolutely every human being on Earth thinks thoughts with which you agree, and say things with which you cannot take issue.

Good luck. Meanwhile, though, stfu if you would. Are are aware that you don't seek unity. You seek reasons to continue to inflame division.

You seem angry for someone not even addressed....

There are a lot of dumb and or bigoted people in the world. The white people can be astonishing line was bigoted and unnecessary as well, though.

There is plenty of dumbfuckery to go around for everyone, I guess.
