A coworker jokingly complained about finances. So I sent her a link to donate plasma for money.
Looking through the FAQ. I found out the donate blood is an evil racist, xenophobic and homophobic You cannot make this stuff up.
You need an ID, an ID...those racist ba...kids born out of wedlock
Plus you need a social security card....like illegal blood can’t save a life.
We all know about gay males and donating
To sum up this post, my wokeness tells me that blood donation centers only help to keep the white patriarchy going....

Source plasma and recovered plasma are used to produce therapies that treat people with rare, chronic diseases and disorders such as primary immunodeficiency, hemophilia and a genetic lung disease, as well as in the treatment of trauma, burns and shock.

They are very prone to a black only affliction, sickle cell anaemia..so might be that I suppose. Perhaps clinics don't test for that, perhaps its expensive to do so, I don't know
You cannot donate if you have sickle cell disease. You should not donate whole blood if you have sickle cell trait, because your blood will clog the filter that is applied to whole blood units. You can donate platelets if you are a sickle cell trait carrier.Aug 29, 2018

Ahh right...just looking for an answer as to why the black population didn't give blood so much. I know if we in UK were paid to give blood there'd be a queue a mile long within minutes!
Genetically-similar blood is preferred for those who need repeated blood transfusions, and for conditions like sickle cell disease (SCD), which primarily affects African-Americans. Blood that closely matches that of a patient is less likely to be rejected by the patient and can mean fewer complications after a transfusion.
African-American blood donors are more likely to be a match for the majority of individuals with SCD in the United States, making them ideal donors to help SCD patients receiving regular blood transfusions.

They want your ID so that they know who you are and can put your name with the DNA that they submit to the database....possible?
