re: Advil just launched a campaign to achieve pain equity and end systemic pain racism

I’ve started using the dual-action Advil that has both ibuprofen and acetaminophen in it

The only time a black person has ever been denied advil is probably when they tried to steal it from the store.

These people are not serious and not interested in making the world a better place.

I say this sincerely, why the frick should I care that 3 in 4 black people suffering from pain believe there is bias in how pain is treated?

When did it become ok to pander to ignorance?

A lot of racist doctors out there.

Look at covid and how they wouldn't treat black people.

Look at how more black women die during childbirth.

So that would mean black people experience substantially more pain in any given incident.

Is this why all NBA players are pussies?

That pain equity survey the sign is referencing: quote:In July 2023, 7 members of the Black community shared their experiences with pain inequity. Their stories are different, but they all have one thing in common: no one believed their pain was real.

Anyone notice how there’s no white group to compare to to support the claim around this made up thing? I’d wager just as many white, yellow, etc people would say the same thing because of what’s going on with the opioid crisis but that wouldn’t support the narrative being pushed.

Also a lot of “pill shopping” going on by people of all colors so if the doctors of these 7 people said “get Advil” they’d have been pissed.

Lastly, Advil doesn’t require a prescription. Anyone can go buy it to treat their pain.

I may have to try that. I didn’t know that existed.

I also did not know about larger doses of ibuprofen. OTC tablets are 200 mg, but you could get 800 mg tablets prescribed.

The max dose in a 24 hour period is 3200 mg before you start having kidney issues.


Tylenol is just as hard on the kidneys. I remember one time having a cold and taking some DayQuil and then took some Mucinex two hours later with acetaminophen.


My urine was nice and brown.
