I assume he is referring to selective enforcement of vagrancy laws? Most of those sorts of laws are unenforceable because they are unconstitutionally vague. However, this does not stop police from harassing homeless minorities in greater proportions than homeless whites. Another area where police commonly persecute homeless minorities disproportionately are sex offender/ex felon registration laws. Depending on your jurisdiction, the requirements for homeless people are more stringent and used as a pretext to round up poor people.

I think everybody knows that minorities are at the mercy of racist professionals. A lot of white people treat their patients/clients/tenants of color with substantially less care and sympathy than their white counterparts. You never know if you'll end up in the care of some idiot chud who will neglect certain people in their care.

But I don't have any indication to think any of the doctors or healthcare workers posting here are acting this way; they seem to be consummate professionals.

There is little debate here that institutional racism is real and evil and a synergist to the evil oligarchy that is killing our society and planet. Now let's get back to the Kim death watch!! Hang in there big boy!!

I learned something today, I guess I'm slow or there's just so much information to take in. So not all of these labs for both standard covid-19 tests and antibody tests are fda authorized. The fda has a list on their website of what ones are and are not authorized, I dug it up in case anyone is interested

https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/emergency-situations-medical-devices/faqs-diagnostic-testing-sars-cov-2

The FDA created a special category for antibody tests so you have both emergent use authorization (which is reviewed by the fda) and pathway d, which enables companies to sell antibody tests with relatively little in formal review. Even for the eua tests there is some apparent difference in accuracy between the tests available, they are still not created equal.

It does my head in that you need something like that. Anyone who tried to sell an unauthorised test would go to prison and / or get massive fines.

the bar is relatively low for antibody tests, but that may be changing as better tests become more prevalent. there’s a regulatory distinction from selling/marketing tests and performing tests. depending on the laboratory licensure they could use whatever test they wanted, whether or not it has been approved by the fda.

cops leave armed right-wing protests alone because they're right-wing, not because they're armed

If left-wing protesters show up with anything resembling a weapon the police dispatch all the APCs they have and call in the national guard for good measure

If history is any guide then they'd just ban open carry, actually. Not a bad result

white people can't be homeless, no.

if a white person ends up homeless they become discarded as "white trash" because there's no way that a real white person could ever fail or need any kind of assistance

As Oxley, an interventional neurologist, began the procedure to remove the clot, he observed something he had never seen before. On the monitors, the brain typically shows up as a tangle of black squiggles — “like a can of spaghetti,” he said — that provide a map of blood vessels. A clot shows up as a blank spot. As he used a needlelike device to pull out the clot, he saw new clots forming in real-time around it.

“This is crazy,” he remembers telling his boss.

This is nuts.

This isn't hard. Whiteness is a social construct, as is blackness in America. If you become homeless you usually lose your membership in the white club. Or at the very least you lose some benefits. The idea that whiteness is a construct used by the ruling class and does not refer to an actual race or genetics is a basic idea how are yall struggling.

Like what do you think it means to be white? Does it simply refer to northern European ancestry?

Where I live the police seem to shoot as many middle aged homeless men carrying box cutters as they do African American kids carrying fake guns. IMO maybe they shouldn’t shoot so many people.

I think they get that. Their point was that homeless whites still get better access to services and emergency shelter, and thus could be said to maintain a degree of white privilege.

This is some big brain logic to look at the myriad ways systemic racism results in worse medical outcomes for minorities and deduce that hospital quarantine rules are an elaborate smokescreen for medical professionals to murder brown people and that there’s some sort of Klan Illuminati turning southern hospitals into human slaughterhouses.

Maybe this is true to some degree, probably. But the homeless are already essentially dehumanized so I wonder how significant the effect is. I mean when people talk about vermin and filth and etc they don’t seem to be making any color distinctions. Where I live we’ve had a couple high profile events where local business owners shot homeless people for various reasons. The business owners get widespread outpourings of support even when the business person isn’t white and the homeless person is. I live in a supposedly very blue and progressive place so yeah.
