The actual analysis didn't blame racism for what happens to Black mothers, or include any evidence — not a shred — that doctors and nurses caring for pregnant women and newborns are racist.
Even so, the Times pushed the conclusion that higher death rates are the "effects of racism" because minority mothers are "treated differently and given different access to interventions." That's false.
This is a pattern with the emotionally true narratives of the left. They are not interested in solving problems or reducing symptoms. They are interested in reinforcing narratives to make the useful idiots feel prescribed outrage feelings, so they can vote in prescribed ways. It never boils down to addressing and alleviating the issues in a rational way. Issues are only addressed in emotional ways, with the only real and provable effect of those ways, being further cultural indoctrination and voting patterns.
When an oppressed person gets mistreated by police, none of the unwise behavior on the part of the oppressed is a subject of discussion. In fact, you'd get the social death penalty for bringing that up. When our Democracy is threatened in a "coup" that could have been prevented with some basic security measures, those security measures are never discussed.
The sad thing is, that emotional truths are just as real to the useful idiots engaged in them, as any other sort of truth. As long as the culture is right there along with you in those emotional truths, they feel perfectly truthy. This is how humans operate.
