Dear @Surgeon_General: you & your boss need to step up. Blaming racial disparities in health on “health behaviors” like drugs & alcohol is a tool straight out of the Ronald Reagan playbook. It amounts to blaming people of color for the structural racism they suffer. SMH.
Yamiche Alcindor Verified account @ Yamiche US Surgeon Gener US Surgeon General Jerome Adams says black, Latino & other people of color should "avoid alcohol, tobacco and drugs." "We need you to step up," he says. Some will find this language offensive after Adams stressed that behavior was not the issue for why more black ppl are dying.
