The State Of Black America’s Health – US blacks suffer disproportionately from chronic illnesses

Greetings,

As long as we are in the midst of the unnatural man we will suffer needlessly. We must remember that integration brings about assimilation. This means that we are integrated with an unnatural people who by nature eat and live outside the original order.

Being captive in this land we have started living, eating, and thinking like them. This is not our natural way. Following after them has brought us to the point of seat.

….”We have been eating the bread of affliction and suffering the poisonous bites of our white slave master. It has caused actual death of our proper mental way of thinking. The natural brain of the Black slave is poisoned and cannot think for itself.

So Allah (God) is asking us to separate from white America. But the mentally dead do not want to go from her for they have not yet gotten the knowledge of truth of our God, Allah and His Mercy for them.”-pg.111(The Fall Of America)

US blacks suffer disproportionately from chronic illnesses: Survey

US blacks suffer disproportionately from chronic conditions such as obesity and high blood pressure.

Black people in the United States suffer disproportionately from chronic conditions such as obesity and high blood pressure and are more likely to lack healthcare insurance, according to a new survey.

Across the four major racial and ethnic groups in the US, blacks have the highest obesity rate at 35 percent, the results of a Gallup poll released Friday shows.

Between the ages of 18 to 29 and 45 to 64, the obesity rate among African Americans increases more than 20 percent, compared with 16 percent for Hispanics, 15 percent for whites and five percent for Asians.

By middle age (45-64), nearly half of blacks report having high blood pressure, about double the rates Hispanics and Asian in the same age group, the poll found. Among blacks who are 65 and older, 70 percent have or are being treated for hypertension.

“Given the comparatively high prevalence of these chronic conditions among blacks and the socio-economic factors driving these high rates, a lifestyle approach that allows individuals to take their health into their own hands could be extremely beneficial,” Gallup noted.

In addition, many experts contend that blacks in the United States still suffer from widespread discrimination and institutional racism, particularly in the US healthcare system where they receive inadequate medical treatment.
