I said this years ago: Study: Discrimination Shortens Lives

[Woodznutz]

I am black, don't try telling me what we experience. Racism affects every black person in this country. That is a fact, and your white --- does not have the lived experience to dispute my and the lived experience of the 50 million blacks living in this country. Whites like you need to shut the f--- up. The root cause of the problems we as backs face is white racism.

If you don't need any help from white people, why are you always asking for help from white people? You're like a drunk ask someone for help...to buy more liquor.

 

[IM2]

Why do you only complain about racism when white Americans do it?

Because white racism is embedded in law and policy. What you whine about ass non white racism are angry words spoken about whites because of what whites keep doing.

 

[IM2]

You racists need to change the way you think. Racism is a white problem. We ae not asking whites to help us do anything. We are telling you to fix the mess that the racism you created here has made. We cannot continue to lose trillions of dollars every year because white people want to feel ike they are special. YOU WILL EITHER FIX THE MESS YOU MADE, OR AMERICA WILL DIE.

 

[EdwinAMartin]

Studies show that consistent exposure to adversity and marginalization causes early health declines in black Americans. Racism is more than thoughts and spoken slurs. The practice of racism relative to the treatment of people is illegal only on paper. It still goes on in America right now. Racism is an abusive behavior based on an individual’s race that causes lifelong harm. Racial abuse can lead to self-destructive and societally destructive violent behavior.

Study: Racism shortens lives and hurts health of blacks by promoting genes that lead to inflammation and illness​

Racism is toxic to our health in the same way smoking is, by damaging our natural defenses to fight off disease, says April Thames, professor of psychology and psychiatry at USC Dornsife.

African Americans have worse health outcomes and die earlier than whites.

Negative social attitudes, such as racism and discrimination, damage the health of those who are targeted by triggering a cascade of aberrant biological responses, including abnormal gene activity. It is not surprising that reports documenting lifespan and causes of mortality have demonstrated a clear pattern: African Americans die sooner and bear a heavier burden of many diseases, including hypertension, heart disease, dementia and late-stage breast cancer.

Scientists have searched for genetic causes to health disparities between blacks and whites but have had limited success. The strongest evidence to date points to social-environmental factors such as poverty, health care inequities and racism.

Discrimination Shortens Lives​

As the biggest board Racist here and by a long way , I assume you are under barely four feet tall.

So it's, Shorty IQ-2.0 .

 

[EdwinAMartin]

Learn to read instead of being white and instinctively denying any fact about race because it doesn't flatter white people.

Obesity and Black/African Americans

Obesity is a long-term health condition defined as having an excessive accumulation of body fat that poses a risk to our health.

We both know what the only "fix" is. Race war, with the losers returning to their 'home' countries.

No, that's not the fix, and you whites are not from here. Your home county is in Europe, white man, so what you need to do is begin forming group in white communities to combat white acism.

Why not just have blacks move to blue states. Problem solved.

 

[hadit]

Because white racism is embedded in law and policy. What you whine about ass non white racism are angry words spoken about whites because of what whites keep doing.

What I hear is "because reasons". You refuse to apply the same standards to yourself that you arbitrarily apply to others. If you insist I'm racist because I say positive things about DEI when we're talking about minority hiring, then you are racist because the only time you talk about racism is when white Americans do it.

You guys need to quit that shit. We have a emocatic goveno hee in Kansas. Ae we a blue state?

You just need to take your white --- back to Europe. Red states have more problems than blue states. We had a republican governor, and he screwed up this state so badly that members of his own party endorsed the democratic nominee. After her first term, Brownback's Lt. Governor tried to run, and Republicans endorsed the Democratic candidate for a second term. So take your blue state mess and stick it.

You hear what you want to hear. I'm out of patience with you disingenuous racists. You want to pretend that the 407-year consistent history of white racism never happened, and it could never impact what is going on now. You wnt to pretend that whites do not have a documented record of over 340 years of racism codified into the laws and policies of this nation. You want to pretend racism is over, when we have a president born in 1946 during Jim Crow, who grew up learning racism from his parents, and that the majority of our lawmakers were also born during Jim Crow and learned the same racism.

I talk about whites an racism, because whites have been the ones making the major decisions in this country based on racist beliefs that have impacted a non white people. So, when you can give me the history of black public policy that denies whites equal opportunity at every level of government or business, then we can address black racism. But do not try comparing somebody black saying they hate white people to the decision made by the SCOTUS in SFA vs Harvard, Shelby v. Holder, and others. If white acim was just a bunch of white peple calling blacks the n word and didn't affect anything else, we'd just laugh an collect our paychecks.

But white people like you want to try desperately to make everybody else racist in order to excuse white racism. I have stated in this forum tht I do not support the NOI because of what they believe. You have denied the possibility that someone white could get hired because of race, and not one time have you challenged white racism. I am not required to denounce blacks who dislike white just because their feelings get hurt. You guys want to imagine that you ae being oppressed because you are white. You aren't. It is called being held accountable. You guys want to hold every other race accountable for their behavior, but because you believe you are entitled, anyone holding whites accountable for their long record of bad behavior and poor decisions makes you feel like you are being oppressed. It is time that you look at your beliefs and realize that it is racism

None of what you said about me is true. You are projecting what you think other people have said onto me and pretend that's what I've said. You could actually have an honest discussion with me if you stopped doing that, but I'm not holding my breath. When you decide to be consistent, we can dialog. You've ignored everything I've said in favor of what you think OTHER people have said, then claim it's what I said. You'll get nowhere with me by doing that.

I read your opinions. Your opinion shows this to be true. Again, you cannot believe a white man got hired because of his race, but yu can believe non-whites get hired because of race. You can't see the problem with this and think that just because you say color should not matter, it proves you are not a racist.

You never had any "patience" with whites to begin with.

 

[hadit]

Okay, I call bull on that. I've said that sometimes white people get hired because of their skin color, and I say it here again. So, since you have now been educated on it at least twice, you are flat-out lying if you repeat this again.

You can't see the problem with this and think that just because you say color should not matter, it proves you are not a racist.

That's pretty much the definition of non-racist, that skin color should not matter. I've put it back on you to explain why it's racist to hold everyone to the same standards, and you have not answered.

 

[westwall]

Because white racism is embedded in law and policy. What you whine about ass non white racism are angry words spoken about whites because of what whites keep doing.

Where. Link to an example.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

A.A. and DEI are obviously discriminatory.

I would like to see a peer reviewed study on how they shorten the lives of Asians, Jews and straight white males, though.
