& other preexisting health conditions. Was listening to some black women preach about how systematic racism within the healthcare system is causing black women to die at higher rates than White women. Then I looked into it and yes its entirely true but then I looked into the causes and there's a direct correlation between the rates of black women dying in during or post pregnancy and underlying health conditions as black women have significantly higher rates of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, heart disease, hypertension, STDS all of which cause dangerous problems during and post pregnancy.

So in conclusion the higher death rate related to pregnancy is not due to systemic racism or racism among health care professionals. No the problem is self inflicted by black women and poor lifestyle choices. Black are going to have to accept responsibility for the problem.
