Face the Truth White Racists-Because Non Racist/Anti Racist Whites Do So

[Turtlesoup]

So now let us once again return to black crime and per capita.

In 2019, the FBI UCR showed that 3218 blacks committed murder in the US. That number equalled 0.0000687606838 of the black population and 0.00000975151515 of the American population. If we break that down per capita it equals 7 per 100,000.

A study published in July 2020 by the Heart Association showed that Black people had a nearly twofold higher mortality rate than their white peers for hypertension-related heart disease deaths in 2018, according to the study. That year, the death rate for Black men was 206.6 per 100,000 people, compared with 117.2 for white men. The death rates were 132.7 for Black women and 81.5 for white women. That's even after white men experienced the greatest spike during the entire research period.

High blood pressure increasingly deadly for Black people

Black people experience a twofold higher mortality rate from high blood pressure, the often-called "silent killer," a new study shows.

If you combine black men/women, 170 per 100,000 blacks die from hypertension related heart disease. "Hypertension can affect any individual, and it has several risk factors; however, it is quite common with those suffering from anxiety attacks, as stress and anxiety causes a rapid rise in blood pressure. It's important to monitor your hypertension."

Racism is a stressor that triggers the body into allostasis or better understood, racism forces the body to adapt to stress. Allostasis is the process that helps us adapt to stress. Allostatic load is compiled damage to the body as an individual is exposed to constant stress. Constant stress leads to allostatic overload, which is the point when the cumulative amount of stress causes health problems or death. For example, allostatic processes lead to increases in blood pressure, a leading cause of death in the black community. Studies show that allostatic overload created by stress caused due to constant exposure to racism increases the occurrences of myocardial infarction in blacks. Simply put, a myocardial infarction is a heart attack. In 2014, “Structural racism and myocardial infarction in the United States”, a study by Alicia Lukachko, Mark Hatzenbuehler, & Katherine Keyes was published in Social Science and Medicine Journal. What they found as a result of their study was not only that racism increased the occurrence of heart attacks for blacks, but reduced the occurrence of heart attacks for whites.

“This study demonstrates adverse effects of structural racism—specifically state-level racial disparities disadvantaging Blacks in political representation, employment, and incarceration —on past 12-month myocardial infarction. These adverse effects, however, were specific to Blacks, and among Whites, indicators of structural racism appear to have a benign or even beneficial effect on cardiac health. It is important to note that individual-level risk factors including age, sex, education, income, and medical insurance do not account for these findings. Furthermore, lending support to the construct validity of our measures of structural racism, the effects persist above and beyond those of state-level racial disparities in poverty.

Measures of structural racism pertaining to job status did not follow the expected pattern of association, and were inversely associated with myocardial infarction among Blacks. While this finding was unexpected, it is in line with results from previous studies that have documented that Black Americans in high status positions report greater exposure to interpersonal discrimination (Paradies, 2006). This increased exposure, coupled with potential pressures to assimilate and to defy negative racist stereotypes, may in turn place high status Blacks at greater risk for adverse health outcomes. Our results similarly suggest that Black Americans in states with greater representation of Blacks in high status positions are at higher risk for heart attack.”
-Alicia Lukachko, Mark Hatzenbuehler, & Katherine Keyes -“Structural racism and myocardial infarction in the United States”

24 times more blacks die from stress related heart attacks than are killed by other blacks. That stress is caused by white racism.

Drug abuse, obesity, and fried food will lead to higher incidents of heart attacks, FOOL. All of which are common problems among the black population at higher incidents than asians or whites.

There are many studies that show social status has a high influence on all these things. It's not all "choice", in the end, your social situation will always determine your life, at least to a certain degree.

So what do you propose to improve the average social status of blacks?

Welfare reform---stop paying morons to stupid to take care of themselves to have 8 or 9 kids just as stupid and violent as they. Kill off criminals. Sterilization of those with below average iq would raise both the average iq and the social status of all involved.

None of what you say is factually true.

All of which is dead straighforward truth dear. You need to grow up, stop idolizing criminals, find a moral compass, an education and some common sense.

No, everything you say is incorect. As for me, first off, my father was a minister, so my moral compass is just fine. Second, I've never come close to committing a crime. Third, I have college degrees. And last, I'm a grown ass man by every standard. So you do all those things you suggested, because my reading what you post shows that you are severely deprived in all those areas.

Please IM2...ministers are some the most immoral people out there. Two, I've read many of your comments--you don't have a moral compass. Your love of criminals strongly suggests you are one despite your denials...but then again you claim alot that is just flat out wrong. People with morals dont lie Im2..they also don't support criminals like you do.

That's a crock. The end of racism in the white community would improve a lot of things.

But how do you end racism?

I'm afraid the only way this can be achieved is on the long term. The more white people have (good) relations with blacks in everyday life, the more community and the less alienness there is between both sides, the more racism will vanish ... or do you see a quicker way to achieve that?

So my guess is, the more white people learn to know blacks in everyday life, not just as low workers, but as doctors, policemen, businessowners and so on, as people not any less influencial than whites, the quicker they'll lose their prejudices.

We've both lived in this country for 400 years, it's time whites stopped teaching their children some of the shit they teach them and white racist adults need to unlearn some of the garbage they believe.

Yes, I agree... but how do you bring this about?

In the end, I guess the only thing that will truly convince many people, is when they hear a racist prejudice and think "no, that's not what my black buddy/neighbor/boss is like" and thus discard it.

Thats been going on for now 245 years. Today whites want to lie to themselves or get indignant when they are called to the carpaet on their racism. Read these posts and you see that 99.9 percent of these guys in here employ racial gaslighting and plausible deniability to deny or excuse their racism.

In 2021.

It's not my job to end white racism. It is my job to make certain blacks do not allow themselves to become examples these racists use to claim how their racist beliefs are the correct ones. Whites know what it will take to end this quickly but it easier to string things along when you are not the ones affected.

I hear you, but I'm not sure whites know what it will take to end this quickly.

In fact, when I read on this board, I feel most posters here don't know much about anything.

For what it's worth, I'm white, I'm not American, and I'm certainly not a saint, but I'm open for ideas how to improve the situation and if you run with a good idea, you got my vote, so to speak.

I'm mixed, but I told you flat out----WELFARE REFORM. As long as the government pays blacks AND others not to work, supports them while they do crime and do drugs and rewards the worse of the worse to have more and more kids by taking away from the people who produce and contribute forcing them to chose to have less and less children, it will never get better just worse.

WELFARE REFORM is the only answer-----------Stop rewarding the worse and dumbest from having the most kids. Cutting welfare would cut down on the number of kids without fathers, would cut down on the abuse of children, and would cut down crime especially in black neighborhoods. It would force black parents to spend more time ensuring that their fewer kids would do better in everything.........This applies to all races ---WELFARE has caused more poverty, and more crime and it needs to end in its current form helping all races.

I don't give a **** what you are, YOU ARE WRONG!

Not necessarily defending welfare regardless of the circumstances, but it also seems to me that the distribution of opportunities is grossly unequal in today's America.

Once you're at the bottom, it's incredibly difficult to rise out of it. Starts with an education system that rewards wealth of the parents more than the talents of the students. (Yes, there are always exceptions, but I'm not talking about those, but about statistical average).

I'm not sure it's scietifically accurate to say this stress is caused by white racism, as there are many other potential stressors, but it's not hard to imagine white racism at least contributes.

But ... I'm an old class reductionist. My first guess would be to assume that much of the extra stress is due to bad social living conditions. Blacks still have much lower income, much worse jobs, much higer unemployment rate and live in quarters with much higher crime rates, by average, than whites.

There may be many reasons for that, but I don't think it's because blacks are somehow inherently worse than other groups. One reason certainly is structural racism.

At any rate, I'd say to solve the problem, ways must be found to raise blacks to the same social status as other groups. Maybe that's the key to everything else.

Your last paragraph is what most Black Americans are saying needs to be done.

Racism is a stressor that triggers the body into allostasis or better understood, racism forces the body to adapt to stress. Allostasis is the process that helps us adapt to stress.

Hun, that would mean that black culture and nature would have to change to match other races. Education, Iq, work ethic, loss of the drugs and love of both violence and criminals. You are simply looking to demand that the government and whites pay and give more using the same old worn out nonsense excuses that don't have the same opportunities when in fact they are given more by the government anyways and still fail as a group over and over and over again.

I'm not saying just throwing money at people necessarily solves everything. Like any time you throw money at a problem, it depends on how exactly you invest it.

As for "culture and nature"? I do know that some 100 years ago, Americans who had already been longer in America said the same about Irish, i.e. Or about other groups that were the respectively youngest group of immigrants. And today, it isn't an issue anymore.

I am the wrong person to talk about Irish as well.....I keep a running list of everything--the good, the bad, the ugly. I'm part Irish-------but lets face it, CATHOLICS which the Irish largely were tend to create trouble where ever they go and have wrought a lot of bad upon the world. Catholics have never been the contributors nor workaholics that Protestants and other religious sects are as a group. (I say this as an atheist btw...) One of the BIG BIG BIG factors that made the US successful was that Protestants and many of the other christian sects believed in their hearts of hearts that to be Godly, meant that one had to work hard and accomplish something every day. This attitude combined with american providing the opportunity to work ones way up to the point where they could own their own land and thusly their own destiny gave them the incentative to push the nation into becoming one of the most productive ever. Catholics work ethics wasn't there then and it isnt there now for sure. This is why the earlier european sects saw catholics as lazy, drunkards, and less productive and didn't like them really...And they weren't wrong.

Well, here in Germany, half of the Christians are Protestants and the other half Catholics. The states that are traditionally Catholic are economically even stronger than the Protestant or mostly atheist eastern states.

Guess that shows that just because things originally were this or that, doesn't mean they don't change over time.

Think the US got most of Germanys best and brightest long ago. At one point, 1/3 of the US population had German blood (back when we were a better stronger country)..

I dont know enough about Germany itself to answer why states with Catholic would have more than the other states other than to say that Catholics tend to often be the criminals of the world which can be profitable. Corrupt catholic politicians and catholic mobsters do quit well.........

So now let us once again return to black crime and per capita.

In 2019, the FBI UCR showed that 3218 blacks committed murder in the US. That number equalled 0.0000687606838 of the black population and 0.00000975151515 of the American population. If we break that down per capita it equals 7 per 100,000.

A study published in July 2020 by the Heart Association showed that Black people had a nearly twofold higher mortality rate than their white peers for hypertension-related heart disease deaths in 2018, according to the study. That year, the death rate for Black men was 206.6 per 100,000 people, compared with 117.2 for white men. The death rates were 132.7 for Black women and 81.5 for white women. That's even after white men experienced the greatest spike during the entire research period.

High blood pressure increasingly deadly for Black people

Black people experience a twofold higher mortality rate from high blood pressure, the often-called "silent killer," a new study shows.

If you combine black men/women, 170 per 100,000 blacks die from hypertension related heart disease. "Hypertension can affect any individual, and it has several risk factors; however, it is quite common with those suffering from anxiety attacks, as stress and anxiety causes a rapid rise in blood pressure.

Racism is a stressor that triggers the body into allostasis or better understood, racism forces the body to adapt to stress. Allostasis is the process that helps us adapt to stress. Allostatic load is compiled damage to the body as an individual is exposed to constant stress. Constant stress leads to allostatic overload, which is the point when the cumulative amount of stress causes health problems or death. For example, allostatic processes lead to increases in blood pressure, a leading cause of death in the black community. Studies show that allostatic overload created by stress caused due to constant exposure to racism increases the occurrences of myocardial infarction in blacks. Simply put, a myocardial infarction is a heart attack. In 2014, “Structural racism and myocardial infarction in the United States”, a study by Alicia Lukachko, Mark Hatzenbuehler, & Katherine Keyes was published in Social Science and Medicine Journal. What they found as a result of their study was not only that racism increased the occurrence of heart attacks for blacks, but reduced the occurrence of heart attacks for whites.

“This study demonstrates adverse effects of structural racism—specifically state-level racial disparities disadvantaging Blacks in political representation, employment, and incarceration —on past 12-month myocardial infarction. These adverse effects, however, were specific to Blacks, and among Whites, indicators of structural racism appear to have a benign or even beneficial effect on cardiac health. It is important to note that individual-level risk factors including age, sex, education, income, and medical insurance do not account for these findings. Furthermore, lending support to the construct validity of our measures of structural racism, the effects persist above and beyond those of state-level racial disparities in poverty.

Measures of structural racism pertaining to job status did not follow the expected pattern of association, and were inversely associated with myocardial infarction among Blacks. While this finding was unexpected, it is in line with results from previous studies that have documented that Black Americans in high status positions report greater exposure to interpersonal discrimination (Paradies, 2006). This increased exposure, coupled with potential pressures to assimilate and to defy negative racist stereotypes, may in turn place high status Blacks at greater risk for adverse health outcomes. Our results similarly suggest that Black Americans in states with greater representation of Blacks in high status positions are at higher risk for heart attack.”
-Alicia Lukachko, Mark Hatzenbuehler, & Katherine Keyes -“Structural racism and myocardial infarction in the United States”

24 times more blacks die from stress related heart attacks than are killed by other blacks. That stress is caused by white racism.

Drug abuse, obesity, and fried food will lead to higher incidents of heart attacks, FOOL. All of which are common problems among the black population at higher incidents than asians or whites.

The Japanese have virtually no high blood pressure, because they eat sushi.

Black lead the racial cateories in high blood pressure because they eat BBQ and fried foods.


That anyone with a medical degree could ascribe racism as a cause of heart disease and related high blood pressure conditions should be proof to everyone with an IQ over 5 that


The cause of finding "racism" has no concern for truth at all.

It is all bullshit.

There are many studies that show social status has a high influence on all these things. It's not all "choice", in the end, your social situation will always determine your life, at least to a certain degree.

So what do you propose to improve the average social status of blacks?

Welfare reform---stop paying morons to stupid to take care of themselves to have 8 or 9 kids just as stupid and violent as they. Kill off criminals. Sterilization of those with below average iq would raise both the average iq and the social status of all involved.

None of what you say is factually true.

All of which is dead straighforward truth dear. You need to grow up, stop idolizing criminals, find a moral compass, an education and some common sense.

No, everything you say is incorect. As for me, first off, my father was a minister, so my moral compass is just fine. Second, I've never come close to committing a crime. Third, I have college degrees. And last, I'm a grown ass man by every standard. So you do all those things you suggested, because my reading what you post shows that you are severely deprived in all those areas.

Please IM2...ministers are some the most immoral people out there. Two, I've read many of your comments--you don't have a moral compass. Your love of criminals strongly suggests you are one despite your denials...but then again you claim alot that is just flat out wrong. People with morals dont lie Im2..they also don't support criminals like you do.

Some are some aren't. But that doesn't make the racist trash you post correct. You are the one without a moral compass, your posts are evidence.

Oh IM2...BORING!! The race card has gotten so old and worn out that it has lost most of its power..... with most everyone now. As for me, I could care a less about silly names especially being called a racist from an idiot racist who supports criminals. Your attempt at an insult is meaningless.

Why would "white racism" cause anyone that much stress?

As a Pole, I understand that a lot of people are prejudiced and bigoted.

But what do I give a shit, I'm not going to stress myself out because the local African American imam is ranting in his sermon about the "white honky devils". That's his problem, not mine.

Granted, I can appreciate the fact that Hunter Biden is among the millions of my fellow Crackers who don't like black people and call them names. But that will never change, so just tell the Bidens et al, to "F off" and don't stress about it. At least not to the point of getting a ******* heart attack and dying.

So what do you propose to improve the average social status of blacks?

That's a crock. The end of racism in the white community would improve a lot of things.

But how do you end racism?

I'm afraid the only way this can be achieved is on the long term. The more white people have (good) relations with blacks in everyday life, the more community and the less alienness there is between both sides, the more racism will vanish ... or do you see a quicker way to achieve that?

So my guess is, the more white people learn to know blacks in everyday life, not just as low workers, but as doctors, policemen, businessowners and so on, as people not any less influencial than whites, the quicker they'll lose their prejudices.

Hun, that would mean that black culture and nature would have to change to match other races. Education, Iq, work ethic, loss of the drugs and love of both violence and criminals. You are simply looking to demand that the government and whites pay and give more using the same old worn out nonsense excuses that don't have the same opportunities when in fact they are given more by the government anyways and still fail as a group over and over and over again.

I'm not saying just throwing money at people necessarily solves everything. Like any time you throw money at a problem, it depends on how exactly you invest it.

As for "culture and nature"? I do know that some 100 years ago, Americans who had already been longer in America said the same about Irish, i.e. Or about other groups that were the respectively youngest group of immigrants. And today, it isn't an issue anymore.

I am the wrong person to talk about Irish as well.....I keep a running list of everything--the good, the bad, the ugly. I'm part Irish-------but lets face it, CATHOLICS which the Irish largely were tend to create trouble where ever they go and have wrought a lot of bad upon the world. Catholics have never been the contributors nor workaholics that Protestants and other religious sects are as a group. (I say this as an atheist btw...)

My guess is that it didn't have much or anything to do with them being Catholics, but that there are other reasons that better explain why that is so.

 

[IM2]

And in the usual fashion, the usual suspects can't face the truth.

Here's more:

“Bryant-Davis and Ocampo (2005) noted similar courses of psychopathology between rape victims and victims of racism. Both events are an assault on the personhood and integrity of the victim. Similar to rape victims, race-related trauma victims may respond with disbelief, shock, or dissociation, which can prevent them from responding to the incident in a healthy manner. The victim may then feel shame and self-blame because they were unable to respond or defend themselves, which may lead to low self-concept and self-destructive behaviors. In the same study, a parallel was drawn between race-related trauma victims and victims of domestic violence. Both survivors are made to feel shame over allowing themselves to be victimized. For instance, someone who may have experienced a racist incident may be told that if they are polite, work hard, and/or dress in a certain way, they will not encounter racism. When these rules are followed yet racism persists, powerlessness, hyper vigilance, and other symptoms associated with PTSD may develop or worsen (Bryant-Davis & Ocampo, 2005).”

Monnica T. Williams Ph.D.

“On occasion, the emotional weight of racism can lead African Americans to engage in maladaptive coping, such as remaining in denial, engaging in substance use, aggression, self-blame – even in extreme cases suicide (i.e., Black Lives Matter activist Marshawn McCarrel) and terrorism (i.e., Dallas shooter Micah Xavier Johnson). These responses are harmful and lead to negative, long-term consequences.”

Monnica T. Williams Ph.D.

Findings from large-scale national studies indicate that, while African Americans have a lower risk for many anxiety disorders, they have a 9.1% prevalence rate for PTSD, compared to 6.8% in Whites (Himle et al, 2009). That means that almost one in ten Black people becomes traumatized, and I think these rates may actually be higher since diagnosticians are usually not considering the role of racism in causing trauma (Malcoun, Williams, & Bahojb-Nouri, 2015).

Dennis R. Upkins

Racism is part of the fabric of life for African Americans and is among the causes of enduring negative health outcomes. There is really nothing new or startling in the assertion that social circumstances encountered as part of day-to-day experience influence physical health. At the turn of the last century, W. E. B. Du Bois (1906) and Kelly Miller (1897) proposed in separate manuscripts that oppressive social conditions encroaching on the lives of African Americans contributed to poor health and premature death.

Fifty years later, Frantz Fanon’s classic studies (1967, 1968) examined the effects of oppression and included a recognition of “psychosomatic”—that is physical—consequences. Currently, social epidemiologists, health psychologists, and medical sociologists have extended the insights of these important early scholars by showing how racism generates systems and practices that contribute to persistent disparities in health outcomes (Paradies 2006a; Pascoe and Richman, 2009; Williams 1997).

Estimates indicate that the failure to erase these disparities costs tens of thousands of African American lives each year (Levine et al., 2001; Williams and Mohammed, 2009). As long as the rates of the leading causes of death differ along racial lines (Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, 2008), the specter of racism will haunt the United States. The persistence of racial health disparities and of racism in any form calls scholars, therapists, activists, and political leaders to vigorous action.

​

. On June 3, 2020, SAMHSA’s Office of Behavioral Health Equity published a report titled, “Trauma, Racism, Chronic Stress and the Health of Black Americans.” In summary of what they found was that racism contributed to mental health and chronic health problems.

“Racism and associated trauma and violence contribute to mental health disorders, particularly depression, anxiety and PTSD, and chronic health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, maternal mortality/infant mortality and morbidity in African Americans. Racism is considered a fundamental cause of adverse health outcomes for racial/ethnic minorities and racial/ethnic inequities in health. The primary domains of racism - structural/institutional racism, cultural racism, and individual-level discrimination— are linked to mental and physical health outcomes. Racism and violence targeting a specific community is increasingly associated with complex trauma and intergenerational trauma, all of which have physical and behavioral health consequences.

[Bernhard]

I'm not sure it's scietifically accurate to say this stress is caused by white racism, as there are many other potential stressors, but it's not hard to imagine white racism at least contributes.

But ... I'm an old class reductionist. My first guess would be to assume that much of the extra stress is due to bad social living conditions. Blacks still have much lower income, much worse jobs, much higer unemployment rate and live in quarters with much higher crime rates, by average, than whites.

There may be many reasons for that, but I don't think it's because blacks are somehow inherently worse than other groups. One reason certainly is structural racism.

At any rate, I'd say to solve the problem, ways must be found to raise blacks to the same social status as other groups. Maybe that's the key to everything else.

Your last paragraph is what most Black Americans are saying needs to be done.

As far as I can see, it's just damn difficult to find out from which side to address the problem, or which measures to take.

Racism increases social inequality, social inequality in turn increases racist prejudices. What should the focus be on?

I might be wrong, but my feeling is just addressing racism won't be enough. People are just prejudiced in general, you can get certain prejudices out of people, but you cannot change that most people are prejudiced. People will always be hostile towards groups of people they're not familiar with. So maybe by raising the social status of disadvantaged groups, established groups will consider them less alien on the long run.

 

[IM2]

I'm not sure it's scietifically accurate to say this stress is caused by white racism, as there are many other potential stressors, but it's not hard to imagine white racism at least contributes.

I'm 100 percent sure it is accurate. There are some things a black person experiences when a racist event happens relative to body chemistry. Racism just adds to a black persons allostatic load and if it gets to be an overload, then we see bad health outcomes to include death.

So now let us once again return to black crime and per capita.

In 2019, the FBI UCR showed that 3218 blacks committed murder in the US. That number equalled 0.0000687606838 of the black population and 0.00000975151515 of the American population. If we break that down per capita it equals 7 per 100,000.

That year, the death rate for Black men was 206.6 per 100,000 people, compared with 117.2 for white men. The death rates were 132.7 for Black women and 81.5 for white women. That's even after white men experienced the greatest spike during the entire research period.

Racism is a stressor that triggers the body into allostasis or better understood, racism forces the body to adapt to stress. Allostasis is the process that helps us adapt to stress.

What they found as a result of their study was not only that racism increased the occurrence of heart attacks for blacks, but reduced the occurrence of heart attacks for whites.

“This study demonstrates adverse effects of structural racism—specifically state-level racial disparities disadvantaging Blacks in political representation, employment, and incarceration —on past 12-month myocardial infarction. These adverse effects, however, were specific to Blacks, and among Whites, indicators of structural racism appear to have a benign or even beneficial effect on cardiac health. It is important to note that individual-level risk factors including age, sex, education, income, and medical insurance do not account for these findings. Furthermore, lending support to the construct validity of our measures of structural racism, the effects persist above and beyond those of state-level racial disparities in poverty.

Measures of structural racism pertaining to job status did not follow the expected pattern of association, and were inversely associated with myocardial infarction among Blacks. While this finding was unexpected, it is in line with results from previous studies that have documented that Black Americans in high status positions report greater exposure to interpersonal discrimination (Paradies, 2006). This increased exposure, coupled with potential pressures to assimilate and to defy negative racist stereotypes, may in turn place high status Blacks at greater risk for adverse health outcomes. Our results similarly suggest that Black Americans in states with greater representation of Blacks in high status positions are at higher risk for heart attack.”

24 times more blacks die from stress related heart attacks than are killed by other blacks. That stress is caused by white racism.

Drug abuse, obesity, and fried food will lead to higher incidents of heart attacks, FOOL. All of which are common problems among the black population at higher incidents than asians or whites.

The Japanese have virtually no high blood pressure, because they eat sushi.

Black lead the racial cateories in high blood pressure because they eat BBQ and fried foods.


That anyone with a medical degree could ascribe racism as a cause of heart disease and related high blood pressure conditions should be proof to everyone with an IQ over 5 that


The cause of finding "racism" has no concern for truth at all.

It is all bullshit.

Eating sushi verses eating fried chicken is now going to be considered racist.....

I'm not sure it's scietifically accurate to say this stress is caused by white racism, as there are many other potential stressors, but it's not hard to imagine white racism at least contributes.

I'm 100 percent sure it is accurate. There are some things a black person experiences when a racist event happens relative to body chemistry. Racism just adds to a black persons allostatic load and if it gets to be an overload, then we see bad health outcomes to include death.

We are 100% sure that you race bait off anything that claims racism, no matter how laughably bullshit the claim is..

I'm not sure it's scietifically accurate to say this stress is caused by white racism, as there are many other potential stressors, but it's not hard to imagine white racism at least contributes.

But ... I'm an old class reductionist. My first guess would be to assume that much of the extra stress is due to bad social living conditions. Blacks still have much lower income, much worse jobs, much higer unemployment rate and live in quarters with much higher crime rates, by average, than whites.

There may be many reasons for that, but I don't think it's because blacks are somehow inherently worse than other groups. One reason certainly is structural racism.

At any rate, I'd say to solve the problem, ways must be found to raise blacks to the same social status as other groups. Maybe that's the key to everything else.

Your last paragraph is what most Black Americans are saying needs to be done.

As far as I can see, it's just damn difficult to find out from which side to address the problem, or which measures to take.

Racism increases social inequality, social inequality in turn increases racist prejudices. What should the focus be on?

I might be wrong, but my feeling is just addressing racism won't be enough. People are just prejudiced in general, you can get certain prejudices out of people, but you cannot change that most people are prejudiced. People will always be hostile towards groups of people they're not familiar with. So maybe by raising the social status of disadvantaged groups, established groups will consider them less alien on the long run.

Again...welfare reform.

Limit Welfare to two kids......if you have more you get no more. Or better to no more than 3 years to get your shit together before being kicked off. Welfare is only supposed to be a safety net. If the father is out of the household---deduct not add to any governement bennies.

So now let us once again return to black crime and per capita.

In 2019, the FBI UCR showed that 3218 blacks committed murder in the US. That number equalled 0.0000687606838 of the black population and 0.00000975151515 of the American population. If we break that down per capita it equals 7 per 100,000.

A study published in July 2020 by the Heart Association showed that Black people had a nearly twofold higher mortality rate than their white peers for hypertension-related heart disease deaths in 2018, according to the study. That year, the death rate for Black men was 206.6 per 100,000 people, compared with 117.2 for white men. The death rates were 132.7 for Black women and 81.5 for white women. That's even after white men experienced the greatest spike during the entire research period.

High blood pressure increasingly deadly for Black people

Black people experience a twofold higher mortality rate from high blood pressure, the often-called "silent killer," a new study shows.

www.heart.org

If you combine black men/women, 170 per 100,000 blacks die from hypertension related heart disease. "Hypertension can affect any individual, and it has several risk factors; however, it is quite common with those suffering from anxiety attacks, as stress and anxiety causes a rapid rise in blood pressure. It's important to monitor your hypertension."

Racism is a stressor that triggers the body into allostasis or better understood, racism forces the body to adapt to stress. Allostasis is the process that helps us adapt to stress. Allostatic load is compiled damage to the body as an individual is exposed to constant stress. Constant stress leads to allostatic overload, which is the point when the cumulative amount of stress causes health problems or death. For example, allostatic processes lead to increases in blood pressure, a leading cause of death in the black community. Studies show that allostatic overload created by stress caused due to constant exposure to racism increases the occurrences of myocardial infarction in blacks. Simply put, a myocardial infarction is a heart attack. In 2014, “Structural racism and myocardial infarction in the United States”, a study by Alicia Lukachko, Mark Hatzenbuehler, & Katherine Keyes was published in Social Science and Medicine Journal.

There is absolutely no evidence of that. You're a gullible fool.

What causes black people stress is other black people.

For example: Blacks are much more likely than whites to live in a home with domestic violence. That's extremely stressful, not only for the women and children who are the victims, but also for the offender. After all, getting thrown in jail or having a warrant out for your arrest because you beat the shit out of your baby mama is extremely stressful.

Another example: Blacks are also more likely to live with a drug addict, which is extremely stressful to both the addicts and their families.

The list goes on and on. Black culture in general is stressful.

Everything you say here is wrong. And its ******* stupid.

I posted a study and I have lived 60 years black and know what racism does to a persons body chemistry. Your ass has none of that knowledge so STFU.

You have such a low IQ that you don't even know that those stats prove that I'm correct.

You're nothing but a racist dumbass.

Perhaps it's impossible for a white living in a predominantly white society to imagine what that's like... so I'm not saying that's the same, but everybody who has been in a certain situation where he/she was a minority regarding a certain crucial trait can at least somewhat relate, I guess.

When I worked in a retirement home as a very young guy where boss and 95% of the staff were (older) females kind of gave me an idea what young females sometimes get to hear at a predominantly male workplace, for example.

Now I imagine it's pretty tough for blacks who statistically are a minority most of the time at most places.

Welfare was reformed 25 years ago. A person can only get welfare for 3 years consecutively and five years total. You have no clue, and welfare has nothing to do with the health problems caused by racism.
