And so many organizations, you don't even hear anymore about it now that George Floyd issue has kind of faded away.
Yeah.
And so it's like, check the box, say that zero tolerance stuff, and then you're done.
But one of the things I really respect with Nancy's leadership and the AGS is that it's action oriented because we don't need any more needs assessment.
We don't need any more studies that highlight the disparities.
What we have to do is chip away at these big
behemoth issues that are still strangling us.
And so we need an action-oriented approach.
And I think that's what you see in this paper.
But also the thing with the GFR was that there was an assumption that Black people had bigger muscle mass.
And so the basic premise has always been to dehumanize people by race.
And it was beneficial to say black people had bigger muscle mass because then that meant they were stronger and it could justify the need for them to be enslaved and do all that work because they were stronger.
And then, you know, there were studies that said black people didn't experience pain because their skin was thicker.
So you have big, strong people who don't experience pain and you can work them and enslave them.
Right.
And then, of course, that falls into medical rules.
And when you look at the GFR study, they looked at a group of people who had kidney disease and who were sick.
And then they extrapolated it to every black person.
So the other thing that happens is that you lose the identity of the individual person and just lump everyone together by race.
And the same thing happens in geriatrics.
