    I was also introduced to a Greek metal band called Kawir by a coworker. I don't know what they're saying but it's some good stuff! They only have 1,200 monthly listeners so go give em a listen.

    On the subject of systemic racism. There is a large portion of the black population that do not trust doctors or the Healthcare system because doctors and other providers do not listen to them about their issues and provide substandard care.
    Another large portion of distrust comes from the horrendous acts done to black people in the medical field. Namely the "Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male" A.K.A. the Tuskegee experiment. They continued to not treat these men for Syphilis for 25 years AFTER penicillin had become widely available and was the accepted as the standard treatment for the disease. Actively denying the United States Army from treating men from the study who were drafted. There was no education on STD's given to the men in the study leading to 40 of their wives contracting Syphilis and 19 children being infected by birth.
    There was a class action lawsuit which was settled out of court for $10 million...in 1974 two years after the study ended.

    In essence the medical community in America has been fucking BRUTAL towards any non-white community and it is a systemic problem that is present in every medical discipline and was instilled in the system at its inception. This, imo, rightfully has caused distrust in the medical community for a large portion of non-white peoples and unfortunately that leads to them not seeking care and in this case pre/post natal care.
