Racism in health care featured in Marxism class on
reparations
Sahkinah Rasheed talked about the impact of racism on the
health of the African American population in the United States
at an Aug. 10 Workers World Party class on Marxism and
reparations for Black labor in New York City.
Rasheed, a health care worker, explained how the terrible
stress of oppression, racist double-standards in the delivery
of treatment, economic inequality and lack of health insurance
take a terrible toll on African Americans.
She demanded reparations, in the form of free quality health
care, for all.
