   Today’s doctor visit is the dermatologist for an annual skin cancer screening. Black people get skin cancer too.

     @IveyJanette @StillIRise1963 While looking up the definition I found this good article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/janicegassam/2020/09/22/misogynoir-the-unique-discrimination-that-black-women-face/

     @fmhilton @StillIRise1963 And there's Black pastors who are against abortion and sterilization. They encourage adoption. Which as we all know,is difficult in communities of color. The foster care % of Black and Latino kids is heartbreaking. And placement of Black and Latino kids into adoptive homes is very low. Misogynoir is rampant especially when it comes to abortion.

     @IveyJanette @StillIRise1963 That's a great word "Misogynoir" to describe the situation. Perfect blending of two concepts. I hadn't seen it before today. Thanks!

     Mr. Bill repeated this.

     @StillIRise1963 @IveyJanette That is the truth. The abortion bans have been killing black women and their babies at unprecedented rates since Roe was overturned. That is racism defined and demonstrated. It was overturned by white people for white women and babies, couldn't care less about black women or children.

     @StillIRise1963 Though there's the misinformation that Black and Brown people are "protected" from skin cancer because of our skin tones. Nope.

     @IveyJanette @StillIRise1963 There's also the lie that black women don't have difficulties while having babies. That they don't get sick at all. Vicious lies.
