Racism's toll may be physical

Black men's shorter life span may be attributable in part to the stresses of their position in society.

Statistically, black males in America are at increased risk for just about every health problem known. African Americans have a shorter life expectancy than any other racial group in America except Native Americans, and black men fare even worse than black women. Some of it can be chalked up to poverty, the most powerful determinant of health, or to lifestyle factors. But even when all those factors are accounted for in studies, the gap stubbornly persists. Now researchers are beginning to examine discrimination itself. Racism, more than race, may be cutting black men down before their time.

It is possible, they believe, that the ill health and premature deaths can be laid -- at least in part -- at the feet of continuous assaults of discrimination, real or perceived. "We have always thought of race-based discrimination as producing a kind of attitude," says Vickie Mays, psychologist and director of the UCLA Center on Research, Education, Training and Strategic Communication on Minority Health Disparities. "Now we think we have sufficient information to say that it's more than just affecting your attitude. A person experiences it, has a response, and the response brings about a physiological reaction."

The reaction contributes to a chain of biological events known as the stress response, which can put people at higher risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and infectious disease, says Namdi Barnes, a researcher with the UCLA center. That protective response includes the release of cortisol, often called the stress hormone. It increases blood pressure and blood sugar levels and suppresses the immune system. Those are all good things when it comes to fleeing a wild beast or a suspicious sound in a dark parking lot. But for many African Americans, these responses may occur so frequently that they eventually result in a breakdown of the physiological system.

. . .

Violence, including accidents and homicide, lays its claim on black men early. Homicide is the leading cause of death for black men ages 15 to 34, followed by unintentional injuries.

. . .

Poverty and lack of access to health care, more significant among blacks, open the doors to a host of hazards. Poor people smoke more, exercise less and are more likely to be victims of accidents and violence. "There's a whole boatload of things that are in the environments where they're more likely to grow up," Lurie says. "HIV, crime, that kind of stuff. There's a lot of extra dying going on from trauma."

Comments section!

...can you say, "...or to lifestyle factors."?

Or, KARMA!!!!!!!!!

Score was settled in 1980. We're are no longer even.

This reminds me of Rockwell pictured with the Nation of Islam. Mutual respect/fear died, I would say, twenty years after the "Civil Rights Movement"?

That picture is so awesome, because, both we and the Nation of Islam know the score, :[]s.

We don't have to like each other, and I am not doing justice to the complexity of the thought in my head, but one day, as neighbors(like 100 miles away), we might do business with black folk.

This forced divershitty is not working! At least those that aren't the chosen.

I might get slammed big time for this, but there are, and yes, extremely rare, instances of black people.

They make me look like the NAACP. Nigger this and nigger that, not nigga.

I think too much hate makes one ill? This hate can not fill our entire lives. We must enjoy ourselves every so often.

Once again, I am no sympathizer. I will die to protect our white children, women, and my brothers. Pretty sappy but very true.

This stupid cunt is scapegoating Whitey and creating a climate that leads to violence against Whites from agitated simians.

Would it not hurt to throw her contact info out there as well?

Yes, yes - the evil white man is the source of all the world's woes.

:rolleyes:

Darkies work so hard inventing Heavy Metal music and traffic lights yet all whitey does is hate, hate, hate (even if they say they don't)!

:krofl

Poor, crack-ridden, AIDS-infected niggers - cry ME a river.

...can you say, "...or to lifestyle factors."?

Or, KARMA!!!!!!!!!

Precisely. They want to have it both ways. But mainly they want to "blame whitey." Same old shit, 'n shit.

I agree with some of your other points. Mainly that forced diversity is an abject failure and only a complete separation can be considered at this point. Jena proves that too.

Maybe someone can find it. There's a comment section but given the L.A. Slimes' usual heavy-handed censorship I don't expect to get any points published.

Total non accountability in their criminal behavior, free money, free healthcare, White women to breed with...I can see how that could cause a lot of stress on a person.

I praise da lord for Colonel Sanders everyday.:krofl

I jus wan axe u one question what be da average life span of your garden variety nigga in afreeca be?

Sheet can't blame da White man fo dat one.

What is so retarded about all of these so called studies that want to blame racism for whatever factor being whined about, is that they always completely fail to see that many of these patterns exist WORLDWIDE. What in the world does "racism" in america have to do with the fact that blacks also have a shorter lifespan everywhere else, as well? Blacks mature faster, it also makes sense that there lifespan is going to be shorter. They also have less control over their behaviors which is going to result in them being overweight and having all kinds of other negative consequences related to their behavioral patterns. Sorry, but whitey does not put a gun to their head and force them to eat fried chicken and gain 400 pounds.

So I guess all of us evil dreadful whites now must atone for the fact that our evil ways are responsible for blacks dying earlier, on average.:rolleyes:

It never ends.

Psychologist. There's your magic word.

I am proposing "Stress Out A Nigger" Day to be celebrated the 1st of every month.

Maybe these animals will start having coronary failures and begin dropping dead in their 20's.

Whose with me? :krofl

what the hell kind of racism do negroes suffer that even begins to hold a candle to the stress they most definitely deal with from living with the violence of their own kind?

Richest African country : Botswana

African country with the shortest lifespan : Botswana (37 years )

Please don't. What good could come from letting people know that Vickie Marie Mays, AKA Vickie Marie Cochran,
age 55, can be reached at (310) 397-5966? Aren't we above disseminating this sort of info? I for one won't do it.

Two countries with the longest history of black rule ; Haiti , Ethiopia

Two of the countries with the worlds shortest lifespan ; Haiti , Ethiopia

Yep, that proves it ! It's definitely the result of racism .

I think the best way to address this hackneyed drivel from the jew is to go on the offensive and simply make the declaration that we blame the jew for the nigger's woes. Start with the jew slave ships and go from there.

Great point , if we can ever get as large a media presence as the kosher klan .

More information from the ministry of truth.

It seems to me, that if you claim to be God, you should be completely unaffected by any racism whatsoever - you should live well over a hundred years,easily. Or, that if you are so badly affected by it, just use you "God" powers to wipe it from your system.Doesn't make sense....

Headline we would like to see:
RACIST CAUSE BLACKS TO HAVE AN EVEN SHORTER LIFE SPAN
Whiney kiking about their stress!What about ours!
It's not easy watching 50,000 yrs of accumulated genetics go straight down the shitter!!!:mad::mad::mad:

Racism blamed for short lifespan of black males

It was also know to cause a hurricane to arise in the Atlantic and to be steered into the blackest areas of New Orleans in 2005. :D

I don't even care WHY they are dying, I just hope they continue to do so at even a more rapid rate.

It has nothing to do with a steady diet of malt liquor, fried foods, drugs, tobacco, and soda. It is all the stress they feel from the candle light vigils being held after they rape and murder some white people.

IMHO a nigger surviving into puberty has lived too long.

For 12 bucks you can buy one of those small but thick paperback "World Almanac and Book of Facts" at any bookstore.

Look up the section on facts and figures of different countries of the world.

Look up any African state which is predominately black - Botswana, Mozambique, Angola, Sudan, etc. etc.

Look up the average lifespan of the inhabitants.

You will find it to be from around 38-43 YEARS.

Now look up the section on facts and figures of the US.

The life expectancy figures are broken down into race.



In the US, BLACKS HAVE AN AVERAGE LIFESPAN OF 70 YEARS.


EVERY FUCKING NIGGER SHOULD BE DOWN ON HIS KNEES THANKING THE WHITE MAN FOR CREATING A NATION AND SOCIETY THAT ENABLES HIM TO LIVE ALMOST TWICE AS LONG AS HE WOULD IF HE WERE LIVING AMONG "HIS OWN PEOPLE!!!"

Stupid niggers.

VNN t-shirts and bumper stickers will have them experiencing a Fred Sanford moment ("I'm coming' to join ya Elizabeth . . .!")

Since the cause of poverty is stupidity it follows that it is stupidity that is cutting the black man down before his time.

Hey, if racism is bad for the niggers, maybe they should stop being racist.

Do you think poor whites in this nation are all stupid?:eek:

Do you think poor whites in this nation are all stupid?:eek:
It's the Federal Reserve system of inflation and deflation that causes poverty in the US.
