It is terrible that blacks have not received healthcare in line with their physiology. There is a distinct difference that has not been taken into account in healthcare primarily derived for white men. This is not a slam against white men but when your the majority driver in creating a system, it is perfectly normal that the system reflect its makers. Some call this "Systemic Racism or Systemic Oppression" but it was never that deliberate, it just is how the system came to be. Even healthcare for white women (another different animal) has suffered for it. No one intentionally designs a system to ONLY benefit one type of person.
A recent example is the little finger monitor that measures blood oxygen. Saw an article declaring the Oxymeter as RACISSS (can you believe this clown world). Turns out that the little light in these meters is not calibrated high enough to read properly through brown skin. Turns out the Japanese inventor, Takuo Aoyagi, who created it did not even consider this as a factor. I am pretty confident that he was not a racist.
