Doctors at major hospitals discuss problems that black people have coping with negativity because of a weak endocrine system and adrenal gland issues because of slavery when little ten year old slave girls were forced to have babies every year until they reached age 25 and older which caused many unhealthy babies. Add that type of abuse to the body for years of slavery and you will guarantee a race of people with problems handling stress of segregated neighborhoods, stress of being called negative because of skin color, stress of not receiving a great education, stress of poverty, stress of not having a loving father, stress of having black teachers who refuse to provide a quality education, stress of getting arrested because you are black, stress of not qualifying for jobs because of failing a test, stress of living in violence, stress of being judged by the color of the skin, and so on.
ReplyDeleteBlack people have no business indulging in alcohol, marijuana, street drugs, excess sugar, excess processed foods, excess chemicals because of the weakened body systems previously mentioned caused by overbreeding young girls. .
What is the purpose of constantly reporting negativity about the segregated communities where people of color live. Perhaps if all Americans were treated equally without labeling according to their beautiful skin color that protects their body, the crime rate would disappear. Labeling people as black, white, and brown is pathetic.
