Something Inherently Racist

According to a new report released by Save the Children on Monday, the US infant mortality rate ranks the lowest (except for Latvia) of the 33 industrialized powers.

Get this: part of what's driving our poor performance is:

by racial and income health care disparities. Among U.S. blacks, there are 9 deaths per 1,000 live births, closer to rates in developing nations than to those in the industrialized world.

The United States is tied with Hungary, Malta, Poland and Slovakia with a death rate of nearly 5 per 1,000 babies, but the rate among African-Americans is 9? Nearly twice the nationalized rate?
