| #25 From the article: "The team attributed this shocking disparity to higher rates of eclampsia and preeclampsia (potentially dangerous high blood sugar during pregnancy) among the mothers while they were pregnant, higher rates of preterm delivery, economic disadvantage and racial bias." Perhaps the white doctors are less aware of how to handle this situation. |

| #22 Once again a DM article drinks 16 pints of cheap beer, passes out, and can't figure out why they shit the bed. But being good stout Englishmen, they'll still get up tomorrow and do it all over again. |

| #21 I'd look at poor diet, lack of pre-natal care, and overall health first. My first thought; along the theory that vegetarians and especially vegans have underdeveloped infants. Children born addicted to drugs is a real thing. The researchers analyzed records on 1.8 million hospital births in Florida between 1992 and 2015. Oooook...Which Florida? At baseline, 1,090 out of every 100,000 black babies born died within the first 28 days of life. That was more than twice the death rate among white babies: 490 per 100,000. The team attributed this shocking disparity to higher rates of eclampsia and preeclampsia (potentially dangerous high blood sugar during pregnancy) among the mothers while they were pregnant, higher rates of preterm delivery, economic disadvantage and racial bias. Oh, its the racial bias. Once again a DM article drinks 16 pints of cheap beer, passes out, and can't figure out why they shit the bed. |

| #19 I thought most of the doctors in USA are Hindu? Hinjoos, all of ‘em. |

| #18 I would think some factor is missing, such as the parents waiting longer before seeking care, or white doctors being in higher positions so that really bad cases are escalated to them. |

| #17 if your parents didn't have sex, it's likely you won't either. Mitosis is reproduction too, you chromasomalist! #Mitosis |

| #16 Sexual reproduction and parental care are two different things, Crawford - look it up in Wikipedia. |

| #15 Grom, sex is hereditary -- if your parents didn't have sex, it's likely you won't either. |

| #12 Poor parental care is genetic. |
| Posted by: g(r)omgoru 2020-08-18 11:48 |
| #11 Inbreeding? Genetics is certainly a possibility. I'd look at poor diet, lack of pre-natal care, and overall health first. |

| #9 #7 Inbreeding? |

| #8 Will the Daily Mail(UK) enlighten us to what the equivalent statistics are in England? Or in France, for that matter. Agree that the smell of BS is strong here. |

| #7 The smell is strong indeed. A bit of googling for US infant mortality rates by race (for example - scroll down for bar chart) shows the rate for blacks is roughly 2~3 times that for whites. That's in the aggregate without controlling for the doctor's race. |

| #4 Or blacks become doctors instead of gang bangers and gangstas. |

| #3 Then I suggest they stop having babies. |

| #2 Aren't Hindus the original Aryans? |

| #1 ^5 times as likely when cared by a "Black" doctor? p.s. I thought most of the doctors in USA are Hindu? |
