BLACKPRESSUSA NEWSWIRE — By the 2010s, the rate had declined to 1,073 per 100,000 for Black infants and 499 per 100,000 for white infants, yet the disparity grew to a mortality ratio of 2.15.
while external causes such as homicides and accidents dominated among those aged 5 to 19. For adults, circulatory system diseases contributed the most to the mortality gap.
So not racism or anything like that then.
Who are the people committing homicide against black people? Other black people, overwhelmingly so. And racism isn’t causing circulatory system diseases in black people lol.
There are so many factors to consider, but the main things one should research in terms of disparate health outcomes are: Income, access to healthy food, access to a healthy environment (again see income and housing disparities,) and access to medical care (see income again as well as bias in healthcare that affects outcomes.)
Black people are more likely to be impoverished. This means they have fewer choices and access issues when it comes to housing. They are more likely to live in areas that are affected by different types of pollution; which have long term health impacts. They have a harder time accessing healthy food because there are less likely to be decent grocery stores in their communities. If you read the article, you know that black babies are more likely to die of perinatal conditions, which are health conditions before, or right after birth, (see my point about access to healthcare and disparity of health outcomes based on race.)
While racism that causes these disparities isn’t overt, it’s baked in beneath all of these complex factors. Racism is absolutely a factor, it’s systemic racism.
Racist policies such as redlining which can cause greater exposure to things such as lead (for one single example) can absolutely impact generational health development. So, yes, racism can cause circulatory disease.
I think you have the wrong platform; this is Lemmy, not an alt. right shithole.
That’s a complete lie lol. Different races have differences in behaviour, intellect, abilities, etc. Denying this is denying reality. It’s not because of “racism”.
Some races got out of the stone age much quicker than others. Was that racism?
So historical fact is racist? When Captain Cook sailed across the ocean and landed in Australia, the aboriginals still hadn’t invented shoes, housing, clothing, cutlery, etc.
Africa is riddled with AIDS.
Racism caused those things did it?
It’s absolutely insane and anti-science to think that there aren’t differences between races. It’s a known fact. It’s not racist to point it out.
Why are the large majority of players in the nba black? Why are the large majority of the best long distance runners black? Why are the large majority of the best sprinters black? Systemic racism but……in a positive way?
Follow this guy for more bangers like “Hitler did nothing wrong,” “Trump is the greatest president of all time,” and “Elon is super smart and his dick tastes like candy.”

Tl;dr: Black on black homicide, and disease.

And the black on black homocides, just going to ignore that? Or is that racism too?

I think you have the wrong platform; this is Lemmy, not an alt. right shithole.
And black on black homicide? Racism causing that?
I’m well aware that Lemmy is a faaaaaaar left commie platform.
You’re right, we should blame black people for choosing to be poor.
Oh so they’re only killing each other cause they’re poor? Even the ones that aren’t? Odd.
Classic symptom of an impoverished community. Could be caused by systemic racism or historical events.
Is there a single problem in the black community that isn’t caused by systemic racism in your opinion? Doesn’t seem like it.
I’m sure there are. But usually when things are present in groups of a specific race, it’s related to some form of racism.
That’s a complete lie lol. Different races have differences in behaviour, intellect, abilities, etc. Denying this is denying reality. It’s not because of “racism”.
Some races got out of the stone age much quicker than others. Was that racism?
Yes, that is a racist as fuck view.

Imagine having to make things up to try and attack someone over simply because you have no actual arguments.
One day you will have to stop blaming racism for everything wrong with certain demographics.
Your whole “argument” is that the effects of systemic racism aren’t evidence of systemic racism.
It’s a pants-on-head stupid take, and we can smell the fucking privilege on you.
