So the poor health of black people has NOTHING to do with poor diet, excessive use of drugs and alcohol, and bad life choices?


Don't bring facts into this discussion.

Has anyone informed the good doc about blaxit? They say they're at peace. Might be worth considering.

How about the chronic stress of having a stressful job, keeping the wife happy so she doesn’t divorce you, raising kids to be moral and productive citizens, and paying half of your earnings to the government?

Because that’s what we deal with.

This is definitely a diet issue. All red meat and fried food will cause heart issues no matter your race.

Thought this was going to be a legit issue related to living in the North where they don’t get enough Vitamin D because of their melanin.

Should have known it was going to be some made up racial BS

Weathering is a term coined by researcher Arline Geronimus


She didn’t coin the term weathering.

“Essentially, it’s this idea that dealing with the chronic stress of everyday racism causes a wear and tear on our bodies that prematurely ages us,” she says. “That actually makes us as Black folks susceptible to developing chronic diseases like heart disease, like autoimmune diseases, and also like fibroids.”


That’s not weathering. That’s delusion and not wanting to take responsibility for your own life. This is weathering….

What about the reverse?
I'm an average white guy, but imagine how stressful it is for me to be racist, day in and day out. Every fricking day, all day, whether I feel like it or not. It's exhausting. Even if the minority person is nice and polite it's incumbent on me to act like a prick, just to keep up appearances.
shite, I'm tired.

Well, gentrification has been the liberals weapon of choice against minorities they want to help, but just not be around.
