The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has declared that racism is a “serious public health threat.” Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the CDC, says racism has gone too far and is affecting the “health of our entire nation.”
Following the announcement, the CDC said it will use COVID-19 funding to make “new and expanded investments in racial and ethnic minority communities and other disproportionately affected communities around the country, establishing a durable infrastructure that will provide the foundation and resources to address disparities related to COVID-19 and other health conditions.”
Infrastructure.
Walensky began by saying that COVID disproportionately hurts communities of color, then quickly dropped this paragraph:
“The disparities seen over the past year were not a result of COVID-19. Instead, the pandemic illuminated inequities that have existed for generations and revealed for all of America a known, but often unaddressed, epidemic impacting public health: racism.”
Walensky then said that racism is systemic and that we must work overtime to “overcome centuries of discrimination.”
Speaking of the country’s well-being, labeling nearly everything that makes the news racist is making it worse. Far worse. The growing appetite to spin everything in a way that says white people are racist has greatly contributed to our country’s divide, anxiousness, and hostility.
As expected, users online are pumping their fists about the new crisis. Complex even shared an image calling racism a “pandemic.”
There are, however, some accounts mocking the announcement:
Sneezed on the subway and everyone caught racism. https://t.co/6oNxj6HXRd

When the CDC director said "racism" is a public health threat what she really meant was white people are a public health threat.
To the left, literally everything white people do is racism.

The CDC, what would you do without it?
I agree. As a White Male, as many Outkick VIP’S, we’re feeling the racist sting of the War on White Men the MSM and our Commiecrats on the Left are waging against us!! We demand reparations! 😉😎
This will be actively ignored. Stupidity expressed by learned people has no nutritional value.
Just like they declared the 2nd amendment yesterday.
Yeah white people are being discriminated on a massive scale which is illegal and the CDC really should just be defunded they are just a useless political tool
Side effects of covid include leftists and Marxists losing the last functioning brain cell they have.
Hopefully they’ll die off. Better for humanity and evolution.
Since they hate humanity I hope they are not procreating and thus this will soon be the case.
They don’t procreate…they indoctrinate.
GASLIGHTING ALERT 🚨
truly a cartoonishly dystopian propaganda aimed at badgering people into silence to cram wokeness into mainstream thought
Making fun of this stuff is ultimately futile.
Can White Jewish Female Doctors be racist?
asking for a friend.
No, just self-loathing…
Depends on if telling the truth is antisemitic.
Is she a doctor like Dr. Jill Biden?
I hope she’s more of a doctor like Ben Shapiro’s wife. I’d trust her. I wouldn’t trust Jill.
You know what else? Fauci. Fauci has made me miserable. He’s a health threat. So is the CDC.
There is a pandemic in this country alright: stupidity.
Chris, I don’t think it is stupidity. It is intentional, organized, and highly successful 🙁
Yup, black racism is a serious health threat to society when the DemoKKKrat simian army goes BurnLootMurder in every major US city…
translation: were gonna use your money for other stuff we want…FU
That was yesterday.
Today, racism is infrastructure.
well said^
tomorrow —> “open borders are infrastructure”
The CDC is in the right neighborhood but on the wrong road. Screaming “racism” is a mental health indicator, as most of the people who do it are mentally deranged. It is threatening to the cohesion of our country, so they’re right in that regard.
CDC as an organization is as worthless as the WHO or the UN.
The Centers for Disease Control and its thousands of taxpayer funded employees. By virtue of the name one might think that they would be a little less behind the curve when it comes to a timely response to say, a pandemic. The American public has moved on effectively this last year in spite of the CDC. I await the health guidelines and recommendations relative to this new topic.
This is what we get for giving women the right to vote tbh
Yeah, if you can’t scream racism, then scream sexism. A move right of of the progressive playbook no? How about we blame the actual culprit – the far left control and indoctrination of education from preschool to college for both genders?
Gee. This almost sounds like a government agency is being used for political purposes. 6 months ago the mere appearance of this would’ve got the press machine in full panic mode.
This is just another silly manifestation of an election strategy by which people all vote for democrats if they aren’t white. What’s amazing is how well this policy argument has worked without any actual sound policy.
Remember these brainless make wearing brown shirts are your neighbors. They actually fucking believe that thousands of unarmed black Americans are killed by cops annually

Meanwhile thousands of black men are murdered every year by other black men and not a damn word about that. Mention that, however, and one is racist. Even though rappers make millions upon millions glorifying that very violence.
Then they should shut down legacy media. They are super spreaders.
Obama, Susan Rice and others are working this division of the races hard. They know white people and corporations are scared to death of being labeled “racist” so they accuse every American entity of racism. They know then that whites and businesses will give in either by donating money to their “cause” or not resist the legislation that directs huge amounts of money, educational tools such as CRT, and/or privilege to blacks.
Exactly and its disgusting. I am convinced that “equality” and “ending racism” is about getting even not true equality.
You nailed it, Dun. This isn’t about stupidity, it is about intentionality, with a very evil bent.
Jesus Christ!! What is wrong!
I’m really starting to think the pandemic is Wokeism and that it is contagious
I declare the CDC a serious threat to public health.
