"teenager who said a heart transplant two years ago gave him a second chance at life died this week when he lost control of the car he was driving while fleeing police"
God bless the doctors who wasted their time on this trash.
Recognizing that black men very often engage in behavior that is likely to get them put in jail or killed is now racist. So there is no stuff. And shame on whomever said that.
there is a BIG difference between saying that black men very often engage in such behavior and saying that a lot of the people who engage in such behavior are black. most black men do not engage in such behavior.

Most aren't but a good percentage of black men are involved in crime and mischief. Statistics don't lie no matter how much we can sit here and argue.
You must not have read the article. He even refused to take the drugs and treatment that was a pre-requisite for getting the heart. They were going to turn him down but pressure from race hucksters pushed it through anyway.
Actually, no l didn't read the article. I was just struck by people saying the heart was wasted on a teenager. I didn't realize he didn't do the pre-requisites to get the transplant. I thought they monitored pretty well. The person I knew with emphysema was tested regularly for nicotine. One cigarette would have kicked her off the list. Ditto for alcoholics. I guess I will read it now that I have time. I still think that any transplant recipient could end up doing something that would make people mad and think it was wasted on that person. I find it sad that he fought so hard for the transplant, and didn't appreciate the gift he received.
Chances are if you are a convicted felon by the time you are 16 with pictures of yourself on Facebook with an illegal gun. You are not a productive member of society.
It'd be a dangerous slope to go on for policymakers to even begin judging who is 'worthy' of healthcare.
