    REDLINING AND NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH

    📢 There is a higher prevalence of COVID-19 risk factors in historically “redlined” neighborhoods

    SNIPPET:

    The goal of this study was to determine if historic redlining, as measured by HOLC residential security maps, was associated with a range of current indicators of COVID-19 vulnerability in 142 urban centers across the United States. Our results show that greater historic redlining was associated with historic redlining score was associated with higher current levels of socioeconomic disadvantage, increased social vulnerability and adverse health outcomes that are 📢 risk factors for COVID-19, illustrating the lasting impact of government supported practices of redlining on neighborhood health and characteristics 80 years after their deployment. These findings are consistent with other recent studies.

    📢 Racial inequities in COVID-19 infection and severity of illness have been observed (CDC, 2020; Kullar et al, 2020; Oppel et al., 2020). Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted and exacerbated existing racial inequities in chronic disease burden, access to healthcare and other social conditions that drive poor health outcomes (Artiga, 2020; Abrams & Szefler, 2020; CDC, 2020). The patterned distribution of risk factors, both socioeconomic and health, for COVID-19 infection and prognosis presented by our study provides evidence that current health disparities are a symptom of deep societal inequities generated by racist policies, such as historic redlining, resulting from structural racism.

    Structural racism represents “the totality of ways in which societies foster racial discrimination through reinforcing systems of housing, education, employment, earnings, benefits, credit, media, 📢 health care, and criminal justice” 📢 which in turn, reinforce racism in values, belief systems and resource distribution (Bailey et al., 2017; Reskin, 2012). Our results are in line with a growing literature that has documented structural racism as an upstream driver of racial health inequities (Bailey et al., 2017; Hardeman et al., 2018; Williams et al., 2019; Pabayo et al., 2019; Lukachko et al., 2014; Wallace et al., 2017; Wallace et al., 2016; Krieger et al., 2013; Krieger et al., 2014; Chambers et al., 2019). Additionally, recent studies have specifically documented historical government sponsored redlining policies as a structural determinant of individual and neighborhood level health (Huggins, 2017; Jacoby et al. 2018; McClure et al. 2019; Namin et al., 2020; Transgenstein et al., 2020; Hoffman et al., 2020; Nardone et al., 2020; Krieger et al., 2020; Krieger et al., 2020). Our study adds to this literature by documenting structural racism, represented by HOLC residential security risk, as an upstream determinant of numerous neighborhood health outcomes in cities across the nation.

    MAPPING INEQUALITY: THERE WERE NO DOG WHISTLES, 📢 THE RACISM WAS LOUD AND CLEAR.

    SNIPPETS:

    In the latter half of the 1930s, a now defunct federal agency, the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation (HOLC), executed a program to categorize the “residential security” of neighborhoods in U.S. cities and towns with populations of 40,000 or more.

    The phrase “residential security” referred to the security and relative riskiness of mortgages. But the supposed security of mortgages was premised upon another kind of residential security: 📢 the security of White neighborhoods remaining White.

    This kind of racism, antisemitism and nativism is ubiquitous in these materials. It wasn’t just prejudice. 📢 It was policy. These maps were produced by the federal government, and they were an important part of decades of government action that preferentially aided native-born, White families in becoming homeowners and building intergenerational wealth through homeownership. The segregation in them was a state-sanctioned and state-advanced segregation. In that way, the HOLC archive is a clear exemplar of the structural and institutional nature of racism.

    Agelbert: Thank you for this excellent, scientifically objective report. I will pass it on.

    I just want to inform readers (📢 medical doctors in particular) here of something they should ponder when they read advice (or 📢 participate in publishing it) from medical web sites:

    According to webmd, the following (among others like air pollution you and your parents were, and are, subject to) are Asthma Risk Factors:

    > Your genes 🙄

    > Your race. 🙄 Asthma is more common in people of African American or Puerto Rican descent. 🤔

    webmd.com/asthma/what-is-asthma

    If you are Doctor, such as an Asthma specialist, also known as a pulmonologist, it is time for you understand that "genes/race" is NOT the reason that African Americans or Puerto Ricans in the USA are high risk for Asthma and COVID-19 (It's the 80 YEARS of the REDLINING RACISM, STUPID!). If you wish to pretend you are being "scientific", rather than racist, by believing the lie you were taught in medical school about the "genetic predisposition" of African Americans or Puerto Ricans to Asthma, you are carrying racist, pseudo-scientific water by blaming the victim, rather than addressing the actual cause. You doctors who are doing this need to stop adding unscientific, bigoted insult to racist injury.

    First, DO NO HARM! YOU MUST FIRST ask patients where they live BEFORE assuming the validity of a "genes/race" link when making a diagnosis. 📢 DOCUMENT all patients that live in polluted areas, no matter how much the "Heath" Insurance Corporations try to force you to not write this down.

    You must also TAKE ACTION NOW, through your influence as 👨‍🔬👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️🩺🔬 pillars of the community, to reduce pollution levels in redlined areas. Don't tell me "you 🤷‍♂️ don't know where they are". The above report makes that excuse unacceptable. 📢 Tell all the the medical 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️🩺 professionals you know about this and urge them to join you in reversing this grievous harm to minorities.

    If you act to reverse 80 years of racism, that YOU benefited from and is now causing hundreds of thousands of COVID-19 deaths, you are a credit 🌞 to the medical profession. Be part of the 🌿 human health fostering solution, not the ☠️ racist abuse of minorities.

  5. change yo channels name to (the waste) news fool 🙄👎🏼 – 👋🏼 droppin (THE REAL) on my (REAL NEWS) channel 🎤

  6. @The Real News Network : It's now Sept. 9, 2020, roughly 11:25 p.m., so just to say a little tardy. Fine episode though, Kim and guests. I won't bookmark or playlist this any more than with other episodes like this, for there are very different topics, I stopped being able to add comments with videos I playlisted and this began some years ago, meaning that I won't be able to add a playlist comment to indicate which parts of a video I'd be referring to, and I'd want to do that with my personal bookmarks but can't, because these episodes include plenty of very different topics. So, I do neither. Nonetheless, fine episode.

  7. Trump and Friends attempting to use Gleichschaltung as a reelection strategy.
    1. Win capitalist support
    2. Usurp state and local governments
    3. Take over the judicial system
    4. Legalize terror and oppression (i.e., use executive privileges, undermine Congress,  manipulate national security agencies)
    5. Support violent suppression (i.e., alt right militias)
    6. Control the media (i.e., the political narrative)

  8. How can Trump be at fault for this? Did he set the fires himself, or sent someone? I've always voted Dem and ain't shit changed, trying something new this time!

  15. While we ARE in the middle of a huge Eco-cide….you are still selling greenhouse warming. Check the ice cores, this warming is moderate. Get your f’ing priorities right!!!

  17. Penn State University has NOT cancelled in person classes and Centere County is a cluster of covid. The county school district did cancel classes but not Penn State.
