In what way has the medical industry damaged black / African people? Even if you think Henrietta Lacks should have been compensated for her cells, the research done using them has improved the lives of millions of people of every race.

What’s also infuriating and sad for Henrietta herself is that she died of cancer due to her poverty and lack of healthcare back then.

I understand and support the idea that everyone should have access to health care as a human right, so on that basis I want Henrietta Lacks’ descendants to have access to care.

It didn’t look like there would be more Emma Stone even if Sony kept Spider Man. I hope I’m not about to spoil something for you but she died. I’m sorry for your loss

I don’t like the guy in this article, but I…

I hope Pauli Murray is a vegetarian because in 100 years or so her name might be stripped off of this building. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nothing short of the complete annhialation of the white race will suffice. Justice will only be served once we have eradicated every member of any race that has ever subjugated or harmed another race (including their own) at any point throughout history.
