run by GOP hacks. Its not surprising they would discriminate against AA breast cancer groups. That's not to say all Texans are racist, but the combination of GOP and Texas usually comes up with that result.

The AA breast cancer groups in the US dislike them immensely. Their "education" programs which consist of insulting women for not getting mammograms, but not discussing how to get treatment if they don't have health insurance. One program I saw of theirs was so insulting to low income women, full of shouting at women and accusations. They were spending tens of thousands on a program to teach women how to dial the phone and make an appointment for a mammogram. It was highly insulting to these low income women. I refused to refer anyone to it.

In our area they work overtime to destroy groups who try to assist women after they've been diagnosed with breast cancer.
