This should receive attention regardless of a national debate.
The median wealth among black families is about a tenth that of white families. Now, as reparations are a subject of national debate, the issue of black land loss is receiving renewed attention. nyer.cm/Af6cZFX

Racist ideas are weapons. They hurt people. They justify racist policies that hurt people. They stoke racial terrorists that hurt people.
Therein lies irony. The attackers, shooting the bullets of racist ideas, imagines themselves, as being attacked when we call them racist.

Thank you @KcBell for coming to speak to the young docs about #ChangingTheNarrative and the important work you do with @AAMCtoday to increase the number of #BlackMenInMedicine. We appreciate the great partners we have in making this work and this world more equitable.
I had the BEST time chatting it up with @youngdoctorsdc today. We discussed the importance of having more black men pursue medicine, how they are helping change the narrative, various AAMC premed resources and other topics. #blackmeninmedicine #changingthenarrative #pipeline
