If you follow me, I want you all to realize this:

One of the most useful tools to upholding white supremacy is ableism.

Why else was it previously impossible to get health insurance with a preexisting condition if not for the fact that structural racism affects health?
Why would healthcare rationing guidelines target the conditions that affect black and brown communities the most?

Why would this nation be struggling to contain Covid 19 outbreaks in nursing homes, jails and institutions if they and the staff that worked there weren’t mainly
Black and brown?

Why doesn’t accessible reliable transportation exist in black and brown neighborhoods?

Why are there income limits for those needing Medicaid and a social safety net?

You all may deny ableism exists, but on top of racism, it’s what you’re experiencing if
You’re black, indigenous or a person of color.
