For anyone wondering why communities of color have higher rates if violence, here’s why. Imagine being a parent, who never graduated high school. You’ve got 3 kids and they are constantly having health issues, which because of your low paying job with zero benefits, you have neither the PTO nor the assets to address. The stability of your life is constantly on the edge of a knife.

Now apply that to thousands of families in an incredibly dense area and tell me it’s a healthy living situation.

Clearly the only way to deal with this is to kill your neighbor.

Higher rates of violence =/= children being sick in the hospital

My wealthy, non POC co-worker waited 8 hours at CHOP with her grandkid who was struggling to breathe with RSV before leaving, never to be seen. Stop falling for media telling you bullshit
