As OpenSecrets notes, "Only a tiny fraction of Americans actually give campaign contributions to political candidates, parties or PACs. Just 0.97% of the United States population contributed more than two hundred dollars to federal candidates, PACs, parties, and outside groups [last cycle]" This is the reason campaign contributions are such an instructive tool in analyzing civil servants, because only the most avid partisans - less than one percent - write a check to a candidate.

In a presentation at NIH about “Journeys into Nursing Research”, Cecelia Henry details the long-standing racism in healthcare since slaves arrived in the U.S. and the need for DEI at NIH after “the entire world watched for 8 minutes and 46 seconds as the life drained out of [George Floyd].” She then introduces her colleague to talk more about why DEI matters in healthcare.
The NIH should be focused on researching cures for illnesses, not creating cultural illness.
Racism is, at least in part, responsible for the fact that African Americans, since arriving as slaves, have had the worst healthcare, the worst health status, and the worst health outcomes of any racial or ethnic group in the United States.
