We are NOT all at risk of AIDS

New Guy belives it is the responsablity of whites to teach blacks how to behave.

Did I say that? No. I am talking about anyone in a high behavioral risk category.

The numbers are the way they are because whites tend to chase the dollar more, capture power more, and be more career oriented with passion. This leads to incredible stress, short life expectancy and impotence, heart attack, contaminated toxified blood supply, deterioration of tendons, tissues, and ligaments and less oxygen to the brain.

Medical Differences

Our society generally keeps quiet about physical differences between the races, but information about them occasionally surfaces in news stories about disease. Alcoholism, for example, appears to strike different races at different rates. Asians (and American Indians to whom they are related) react more strongly than whites to alcohol. More Asians than whites show an allergic reaction to alcohol and therefore do not drink, whereas many American Indians seem to have a biological predisposition to alcoholism. Curiously, Asians are twice as likely as whites to suffer from motion sickness.

In the United States, the most frequently reported medical differences concern blacks and whites. It is well known that only blacks suffer from sickle-cell anemia, for example, a condition that helps the body resist malaria, and is therefore a benefit in the African jungle.

Most of the known medical differences, however, seem to disadvantage blacks. Black women are twice as likely to have strokes as white or Hispanic women, and they suffer more damaging aftereffects. Blacks are three to four times more likely to have dangerously underweight babies. This could be due to bad diet, poor general health, or scant medical care, but some studies indicate that even when these factors are equalized, black babies are more likely to be underweight.

Kidney disease is eighteen times more common among blacks than whites. Left untreated, AIDS kills blacks more rapidly than it does whites or Hispanics, and blacks do not respond as well to the drug AZT as do patients of other races. Glaucoma strikes blacks five times more often than it does whites. It sets in earlier, and the likelihood of getting the disease does not appear to be affected by social status or availability of medical care.

Blacks are also twice as likely as whites to have high blood pressure, and five to seven times more likely to have dangerously high blood pressure. This is often attributed to the pressures of "racism," but physiology is certainly part of the cause.

A study at the University of Maryland found that when black and white students were paired for age, diet, fitness, and medical history, and given a mild stress - their hands were put in ice for 30 seconds - blacks reacted by constricting their blood vessels (a hypertensive reaction) for at least ten times longer than whites. Research in Barbados has shown that mixed-race blacks are more likely to have high blood pressure if their maternal rather than paternal ancestors were African; genes passed down from the mother seem somehow to be involved. One reason for high blood pressure among blacks may be their relative inability to secrete sodium, so a salty diet can be more dangerous for blacks than for whites.

It has long been known that blood transfusions and organ transplants work best between people of the same race. Until the Second World War, stocks of blood were routinely segregated by race for this reason. Classification by race was ended when it was discovered to be "racist," but blood banks are reinstituting segregation.

The distribution of the common blood types is different from race to race, and some rare types are unique to certain races. Only blacks have U negative blood; only whites have Vel negative or Lan negative blood. Dr. W. Laurence Marsh of the New York Blood Center justifies racial classification: "It makes no sense to screen 100,000 whites for U negative when no U negative white person has ever been found."

Kidneys and other organs are classified by race for similar reasons. About 20 percent of blacks are so genetically incompatible with whites that they reject organs from all white donors.

Changing topics like a freakin' socialist jehova's witness.


The topic was AIDS and the behavior that causes the spread and now since you can't pin it on race, you try to point out some way a particular race is inferior to yours.

I have beaten you here before, I am growing bored.

Throughout the short history of AIDS, certain individual cases have riveted public attention, focusing intense scrutiny on particular aspects of the epidemic. For many, Rock Hudson put a personal face on AIDS; Kimberly Bergalis prompted a searching examination of risk in a health care setting and Ryan White exposed the irrationality of AIDS discrimination.

Does it make a difference whether AIDS is prominent in a particular race, at this point? I agree that it is now all our problem . But if it had been dealt with correctly early on, I don't think it would have reached this epidemic proportion.

In the thread 'Whos' going to heaven?" pg.15, Musicman stated how the virus got started & what the initial solution was. But that didn't happen, so now what? Is more education the answer?

Next in line, behind gay men, (no pun) to contract AIDS is women. During sex we know there can be abrasions or small tears. Unprotected, the semen lays in the vagina allowing the virus to be easily absorbed.
AIDS has also increased among the 'senior' age group. With the fear of pregnancy removed they are less apt to use a condom. Given the fact that older women produce less lubrication makes them a prime target. How do you educate someone 70 years old?

I know we're told that saliva does not carry the virus but the last time I checked, this was a body fluid. I think the jury is still out on this one.
One thing that concerns me is the bite of a mosquito. Could the disease be transmitted that way? We speak of using the same hypodermic needle. What about the 'needle' the mosquito uses to get the blood? Makes sense.

To me, it boils down to what I've said in my posts where there's been talk about homosexual behavior. Lax morals & unnatural behavior causes a society to deteriorate. Morals are something, we as parents, are to teach our children when they are young, You can't start when they're fifteen. I believe in the quest to give our children things we have done them a great disservice.

Several decades of LIBERAL policy failure is because liberals are not logical and have a flawed socialistic view of economics that doesn't work.

Its not going to work if everybody isn't on board with the program. :

AIDS in Blacks and Hispanics

Blacks and Hispanics account for a disproportionate share of AIDS cases. More than half of the AIDS cases reported in the United States were in blacks and Hispanics.

More than three-fourths of the women and children reported with AIDS were black or Hispanic.

In 2001, 68% of AIDS cases reported among adults and adolescents were in blacks and Hispanics.

The statistics you present are irrefutable. I won't argue them. The point still being, 'lax morals and unnatural behavior causes our society to deteriorate.
Why it's prevalent in one race, I don't know. At this point, tho' we're all in the pot. With interracial dating, unproteced sex, bisexual behavior.....
I don't understand why, now of all times, that certain states no longer require a blood test when getting married. That is beyond me.

As far as the saliva & mosquito, I realize the odd are very high against. But wouldn't it be better to have certainty? And the only way to have that would have been to quarantine those few cases in the beginning, as the medical profession suggested, but was met with shock and outrage from the powerful gay lobby.

So , now, what do you suggest?

Its not obvious why there is a higher amount of aids cases in one racial group or another? Its easy. its the problem with the Liberal schooling system. Because liberals have destroyed inner city schools for the past four decades and refuse to teach the real ways how to prevent aids, IE Chastity and being Drug free. those ignorant of these prevention methods are going to be the ones who run into major problems with it. It was the same with the gay community. The reason they got aids so easily is because the leaders of the community refused to address why its so prevelant among them, their promiscuious activities.

Aids is a clear testimony that those who keep the commandments of God, will not suffer the natural consequences of breaking them.

But if races behave differently, and the overwhelming evidence is that they do, that's entirely relevant.

First of all, when was it the school's system to raise MY child. I thought that was MY responsibility. A school should stick with the facts, not opinions.

And yes, even God-fearing, innocent christians become victims of this disease. Only in a 'perfect' world would your statement stand.

They dont. Innocent Christians dont do drugs. Innocent Christians dont engage in sexual activity outside of marriage.

The facts are clear. living the Gospel of Jesus Christ will prevent you from having to worry about AIDS.

You're pretty sharp & dead on but here you're missing my point.

You're right. GOOD christians don't do drugs, they don't engage in sex outside the marital bond, etc., but innocents do suffer. Even if the chance of contracting AIDS is small the possibility is still there. Because of cowardice or whatever you want to call it, the first infected people were ALLOWED to continue their lifestyle, thus the epidemic proportions.

I know a young girl of 24 who is still a virgin and she feels she's an oddity. She is. The fact that she has chosen to keep herself wholly for her partner is virtually unheard of now. Not like, when we were young. Even christian teens are engaging in sex more than they did 20 years ago. We, as a society, are lax morally.

If you happen to be in a restaurant and a person get severely cut. Would you help staunch the flow of blood until help arrived? How often do you carry rubber gloves with you?

Not to the issue at hand, only in proving a statistical number which, again, draws a correlation with out relevant fact to the issue at hand.

How often do we have to point out your circular logic?
