A few of the recent pieces I’ve liked:
Clint Smith at the New Yorker: Racism, Stress, and Black Death
Maryn McKenna at Germination: CDC Director: ‘This Is No Way to Fight an Epidemic’
Natasha Geiling at ThinkProgress: Cleveland Is Not The Place For Mocking Environmental Justice
Jennifer Adaeze Okwerekwu at STAT: Why don’t medical schools teach us to confront racism and police brutality?
Dan Diamond at POLITICO: Pulse Check: Why Obama's 'public option' may disappoint (the complete podcast is well worth a listen)
Anne Friedman at The Cut: Injured at Work? Your Gender Could Affect How Much You’re Paid.
Also, a bit of self-promotion: I wrote “Less Stigma, Better Patient Care for Lesbian and Bisexual Women” for the blog Girl w/ Pen.

Trigger warning: This post contains several images of racist or similar messages found through history and throughout the world, including a handul from the US over the last few weeks.
I came across this interesting post by PortlyDyke:

Well, yes. But the question raises some interesting points.
I had a plan, to get on board with Sciencwoman, who is putting out a series of posts on Racial Diversity, Race and Racism, with a post on this topic.
