Maybe forcing yourself to see micro aggressions which aren’t there is a self inflicted issue?

Basically almost every health outcome, we do very poorly. And it’s not because there is anything inherently wrong with us, but there is something very wrong with the social systems that we live in.


Yeah, it's definitely not the poor diet, eating greasy foods at every meal, and in massive quantities, that gives you poor health, it's racism.

Poor health is more likely caused by horrible diet, lack of exercise and drug use.

Mainly diet. McDonalds kills a lot of people, slowly.

If everything is racist is anything really racist?

We used to call it ashy back in the day. Weathering makes sense though. Just give them a little Jergens to keep them from weathering.

is that when you sit outside in the rain / wind / sand for decades / centuries? that would affect anybody's health.

Without reading any of this thread, my first thought was I had no idea tanning was a thing with black people.

Think of it as Conspiracy Brother from Undercover Brother.

Anything anyone says to him causes him to have an explosive rant seeing shite that isn’t there.



Do that constantly and you eventually stroke out.

And an awful lot of people go out of their way to find micro aggressions that aren’t there.

What a joke this is. Blacks are surprisingly fragile....always an excuse for everything. No personal accountability. That OP is fricking laughable.

FFS. This is the kind of stuff that is counterproductive in actual health outcomes research. There are quantifiable differences at the genomic level between white and blacks that affect outcomes. But let’s not research that, let’s just scream rascism. That will help.
