Gretchen Whitmer Commission Probes ‘Systemic Racism’ in Foster Care
FOX2 ^ | 02/17/2021 | Kyle Olson

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) administration announced Tuesday it would create a commission to study “systemic racism” in foster care.

The task force is a response to the “overrepresentation of children of color in the child protection system” which reflects a need for “fundamental system change.”

According to a press release issued by MDHHS (Michigan Department of Health and Human Services), Black children make up 29% of the state’s foster care population, despite being only 16% of the state’s total population. The disparity is evident among children of other minority races as well.

Whitmer is one of the tinpot tyrants who created the shamdemic nightmare.

They will not listen. They know what they are doing (as always).

Stuck on stupid doesn’t even begin to describe their machinations.

So, if they decide they should not have so many minority children in the foster care system, many more children will be at risk.

The other option would be to have MANY more Caucasian children in the foster care system, which can easily be accomplished with (1) more funding and (2) more people reporting on their neighbors and family members for trying to raise their children with conservative values.

I guess “Fix the roads!” is history.
And 25% capacity will save our restaurants (the 60% still alive).
Well, pot got more legal, so all is well.

The question should be why is there a disproportionate number of minorities in foster care. What happened in the family to get the kids removed from their natural families. Was it drugs, bad parenting, domestic violence, jail or something else? For it to be systemic racism there would have to be minority kids being removed from their homes without cause.

Easily solved by using Taxpayer funded cash subsidies to Pedophiles for Adopting those excess kids.

There already was a huge backlash against the left last year on November 3rd, but the victory was stolen through cheat-by-mail-in ballots, fake ballot dumps, and counting said ballots days/weeks after Election Day, all coupled with the Dominion cheat algorithm.

In fact, I would venture to say that Governor Whitless and that Soros-minion Secretary of State both owe their election victories to Dominion.

The only systemic racism in the United States is called “Affirmative Action” and it’s forced upon its victims of all races by illegitimate laws.

Madness.

I guess the social workers should ignore family abuses to black children-———systemic racism would then end in the Foster Care system.

The three things the DemocRATS wil be pushing now is:
Systemic racism
Covid-19 lock downs
Gun control
In order to deflect criticism about their poor performance
at everything else they do which is in lock step with Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.

The number may be old but a while back it was said by some that about half of all pregnancies among black women ended in abortion.

Where’s the probe of systemic racism in that?

Will her final solution for foster care be similar to her final solution for senior care?
