YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WYTV) – A child born in Iran has a greater chance of survival than a black child born in Youngstown. That’s the issue health professionals all across Mahoning County are trying to deal with. According to data published by the Mahoning Youngstown Infant Mortality Coalition, African-American babies in Youngstown are three times more likely to die than white babies. Mahoning County Health Commissioner Pat Sweeney has been dealing with those numbers since she took office four years ago. “It’s just been staggering,” Sweeney said. “That’s true inequity. That’s not disparity. There is something going on in the community, institutionally that has made it so a black infant, no matter what the mother’s education is, has less likelihood of surviving to its first birthday than a white infant in this community. That we have to change,” Sweeney said. Health officials are trying to get every baby to their first birthday. So they’re bringing conversations about race and culture into the doctor’s offices. A program is underway to educate physicians and their patients. Youngstown Health Commissioner Erin Bishop says once that underlying issue has been addressed, doctors can start addressing the medical issues leading to babies’ death such as prematurity and sudden infant death syndrome. Mah. health commish says black infant mortality rate ‘staggering’ | ||

The sheer amount of not-even-vague threatening in that speech is something to behold. Thuggishness at its peak. If you get 47% percent of the delegates with 37-40% of the popular vote and your party doesn't nominate you because it looks like ~40% of the party doesn't want to nominate you, you don't get to riot buddy. | ||

The thuggishness is not even hinting that he would try to prevent the violence like a decent human being. "I wouldn't lead it" is not enough. Do you actually think this behavior is appropriate as a human being, xDaunt? Honestly? | ||

He needs to calm them down and stop pitting them against other Americans. I dunno if this all is just a giant joke for him but the hate he creates will probably stay for much longer. | ||

Is immediately framed as if he's threatening violence. CNN's page "Trump: 'Riots' if I'm not nominee" Really loved the "or else" touch. As if he said, "Look, choose me. Or else". What moderate meme? He's moderate on Oh yeah, real thuggish. That's why he has so much support. People who see through those lame ass tricks aren't taking the bait. NYT just ran, "Donald wants to Make America White Again". Every media outlet is attacking the shit out of him and they've been running on all cylinders for the entire campaign. It's delicious that the shit only makes him more popular. | ||

I don't think any candidate should be suggesting violence will take place if a party decided not to nominate someone that will be harmful to them. And don't give me the "he is being honest" shit. He is literally saying "It would be really sad if there was violence if I don't get what I want." | ||

The reasonable response is saying, "there might be violence but I would do everything in my power to discourage and dissuade it." Point me to that part of his response please. And don't tell me his hordes of slavish fanboys wouldn't stand down if he really told them to. | ||

Look at the page on CNN, that's clearly not how he intended it. That's the media, again, inciting violence. They're the biggest perpetrators this entire campaign and it's really sad to see. Because I thought everything else was pretty shit, but CNN were at least the neutral brand. ANY time you mention that your supporters might riot in ANY context you should say "that is not what my campaign is about and if there were violence I would firmly discourage anyone doing so" if you're a decent human being. Why people are so dedicated to excusing this behavior I cannot fathom. | ||

The internet: Are we sure he meant it? That is wasn't satire? I have to hear his side before I made a decision. | ||
