The idiot Hinderaker makes no mention that the stat was, in no manner central to — or even a part of her LEGAL analysis. [And it is true, in its essence — Black moms, with Black doctors attending, experience only 50% the mortality rate /risk that Black moms with whyte doctors do. Not a doubling of deaths, but a halving — of risks. True in its essential point: Black doctors improve outcomes, for Black moms. Correlation, not causation, though.]

In any event, Hinderaker also makes no mention of the fact that Thomas CENTERED his supposed LEGAL argument in the Harvard and UNC cases, as an outright lie, on the claim that the Fourteenth Amendment itself was not passed with protecting people of color (formerly enslaved humans, stolen from Africa, particularly) as the central goal.

That its framers simply said all whytes should expect equal treatment. Poppycock.

Damn, John.

As many outlets now have obliged here, Clarence Thomas is being properly scorched for this lie — central to his badly mis-informed legal analysis. But he had to make this lie up, from whole cloth, in order to argue that the Supremes should force everything to turn a blind eye to discrimination on race.

Truly… disgusting self-loathing, there.

Anyhoo — the point is… John is a malign idiot.
