What is intstitutional inequality?

Question

Is our health/medical care system an example of institutional inequality? Consider that Black males have a significantly higher death rate than White males and that the poor rarely get adequate health care....

Answer 1

most causes of death among African American males has nothing to do with getting sick,cancer or anything like that(with the exception of STD's). Most of those deaths are the result of criminal activity and over glorification of "ghetto lifestyle".

     But the term was created by self race hating liberal extremists. We have a capitalist system by and large.

       That means nothing is really handed to you, you have to work for it. If a person is too lazy to work for it,it is there own fault not society's.

Answer 2

I think you are on the right track.

Answer 3

Health care is no more an example of institutional inequality than the fact that some of us drive SUV's and others drive Honda Civics...it's a spending choice, nothing more.

  There are those who invest in their education, get a better job, with good insurance...and there are those that chose a different path.  Who knows, perhaps becoming a homeless derelict is the true path to happiness...but I doubt it, and I for one resent having to pay for the insurance of people that have chosen that path in life.

   If you are looking for institutional inequality, try the court system...women are assumed by the courts to be "fit parents" until proven otherwise...Men on the other hand do not receive custody on such flimsy grounds.
