We Demand African Community Control of Health Care.

4. We Demand African Community Control of Health Care. We believe that the current state of health care in the African community is genocidal. We believe that the high infant mortality rate, the curable diseases which African people suffer and die from, AIDS, tuberculosis, asthma, lead poisoning, toxic waste dumps, environmental pollution, Norplant, and the fact that the life expectancy for African people in significantly lower than that of white people, are all evidence of the U.S. government’s genocide and chemical and biological warfare against African people colonized within its borders.

We demands reparations from the U.S. government for this genocide so that the African community can have control over its healthcare facilities, meeting their own particular needs and preventing disease. As it is, healthcare is only another big business benefiting white America, and preventative medicine is not in the interest of the medical industry of the U.S. Just reparations to develop African community control of healthcare puts the power of health into the hands of African workers themselves.
