the cure for racism is cancer

In The cure for cancer is racism by Tony Hoagland  the beginning of the essay is a position of being in a hospital for cancer patients and the idea of how cancer does not discriminate. Described in the text America puts white people on top weather they deserve it or not but that not the reality when your sick. When you have cancer its least expected to think one race , religion etc is higher status than another. Hoagland plays with the idea that with cancer that not how you identify people and america is better off with it making the truly see a person for who they are not what that are.In the text it states 292 " frankly your immune system seems to be the problem. installed by history and maintained by privilege, its too robust,too entrenched to be undone by anything less than a disaster". This statement shows us another perspective of america one being as a body that racism is the illness and that cancer would be the disaster that wold cure it.
