I get that you are observing the dictates of political correctness, but it is decidedly foolish to believe that all races or people must be equal. Nature does not worship at the alter of PC even if you do. Genetics dictate a great deal of a person's intelligence and health and ones race dictates ones genetics Madam Oblivious. Save that for snowflakes.No, we don't know. "Genetics" in this case is just another way of shrugging and saying, "Don't know why".
I could get you a detailed explanation of EXACTLY what happens in the human body as it grows obese to cause it to develop diabetes. But no one as yet can give you a similar explanation of why a BLACK body is more likely than a white one to get diabetes under the same circumstances. Simply saying, "genetics" at that point is like saying, "because he's black". Thanks, Captain Obvious, but that's not helpful.
I never realized you were a racist. Now I know.Honesty is the nicest quality a person can have.First, "nice people" don't lead off with calling total strangers douches for no reason. I
Now I have proof you're a douche.Second, if I have "failed to take note of" an OP other than your post, that usually means I can't see it, because I have the person on ignore. Possibly before assuming OTHER people are stupid, you should try making certain YOU aren't being so.
How in the hell would you know what life choices individuals make? Obviously if their mortality rates are high and they are educated then they are probably making bad choices. What else is causing children to abort, in utero racism?And third, as I mentioned to someone else, the higher infant mortality rate among blacks remains even when the mother has not been making those "poor life choices".
You are what I like to call...shitlib dense. Are you comfy in your fantasy land precious?Black people in general seem to form the low end of the "good health" scale all across the board, and none of the obvious reasons provides sufficient explanation. It's a source of confusion and frustration to the medical community.

Cecille was just providing FACTS. You insisted on taking umbrage to that so you could hold on to your pet opinion that African American women are somehow responsible for and chosing these heartbreaking outcomes. Sure, there are drug addicts--but there are as many white ones as black ones, so that's sure not it. There are genetic factors at work here that we don't have figured out yet, and with the gutting of Obamacare, less of these women will have an opportunity for the level of prenatal care that could make a difference. Illegitimacy has absolutely NOTHING to do with it. I know you didn't write that, but I sure hope you get that.What did I say that was racist?I never realized you were a racist.

Well what do you think it is? Racism in utero?It is preventable, but so are all consequences of poor life-style choices.It’s unacceptable & it’s preventable.
No one is forced to smoke crack.
It isn't necessarily due to poor lifestyle choices. The infant mortality rate among black mothers with college educations and good jobs is still higher than that among white mothers who dropped out of high school.

I get that you are observing the dictates of political correctness, but it is decidedly foolish to believe that all races or people must be equal. Nature does not worship at the alter of PC even if you do. Genetics dictate a great deal of a person's intelligence and health and ones race dictates ones genetics Madam Oblivious. Save that for snowflakes.No, we don't know. "Genetics" in this case is just another way of shrugging and saying, "Don't know why".
I could get you a detailed explanation of EXACTLY what happens in the human body as it grows obese to cause it to develop diabetes. But no one as yet can give you a similar explanation of why a BLACK body is more likely than a white one to get diabetes under the same circumstances. Simply saying, "genetics" at that point is like saying, "because he's black". Thanks, Captain Obvious, but that's not helpful.
Citation...preferably peer reviewed.There are presumably genetic factors at work, but we don't really know enough yet to identify them. This would explain why so many health indicators in American blacks are similar to those in black people from other nations.
Bullshit.Most likely, there are also cultural and socioeconomic factors in play to varying extents, but again, no one is sure yet how much effect that has.
No...you babbled. Cite me one example from this thread which is racist.I already answered you.WHAT did I type that was racist? Stay on point.Cecille was just providing FACTS.

Pathology and paranoia are other matters and I believe not genetic whereas adherence to PC is strictly a matter of choice. I cannot help you on any count.I get that you are observing the dictates of political correctness, but it is decidedly foolish to believe that all races or people must be equal.

You can think you "get" whatever you want. Far be it from me to EVER try to force complex, intellectual thought on people who aren't equipped for it, and I'm well aware of how allergic the two-digit IQ crowd is to facts and reality.
Since you're clearly incapable of even noticing the words I'm actually saying, and since doing so would only make it harder for you to pretend I am the eeeevil PC opponent you came here determined to find (even if you have to create it out of your own imagination), and since I make it a policy not to converse with ignorant bigots, you are dismissed.
Lack of healthcare.
The sad part is that Republicans don't care at all about babies. Not a scoatch. They only care about the fetus. After that, they not only lose interest, their odious policies seem designed to make children's lives as difficult as possible.
Yeap...after they are born as well
Infant Health & Mortality - The Office of Minority Health
- African Americans have 2.2 times the infant mortality rate as non-Hispanic whites.
- African American infants are 3.2 times as likely to die from complications related to low birthweight as compared to non-Hispanic white infants.
- African Americans had over twice the sudden infant death syndrome mortality rate as non-Hispanic whites, in 2014.
- In 2014, African American mothers were 2.2 times more likely than non-Hispanic white mothers to receive late or no prenatal care
Why?
I know they tend to have high blood pressure, which can be fatal during pregnancy, but why else? Poor health care? Is it worse than anyone else's?

there are issues of poor self-care, and very young pregnancies and lack
of family and community support and living in lousy neighborhoods

But, Hispanics have these same socio-economic problems, and also have much less of these kind of infant mortality / pregnancy complications...
