Across the U.S., the black infant mortality rate is nearly double the white rate. The gap can't be explained in full by poverty or risky decisions: even high-income, college-educated black women are more likely to give birth prematurely than the average white woman. Some researchers, and many of Milwaukee's experts, believe racism is part of the explanation.

Of course. The article goes on to postulate it's caused by the stress hormone cortisol because these women feeeeeeeeeel like they're being discriminated against. Notice there's no evidence they're being discriminated against, or even an accusation by the women, only speculation they feeeeeeeeel that way.

Every time I think liberals can't become more anti-science bigots they find a way.

Hispanic women are just as poor but their infant mortality rate is about at the white level. One would think that if the cause is stress hormones due to racism there would be some effect on the at least somewhat discriminated against Hispanics.
On the face of it it does not seem like a good explanation.
Neither for that matter does the behavioral explanation, where its due to neglectful mothers or murderous paramours, because one would expect a continuum with respect to other populations in poverty that also probably misbehave at a higher rate than whites.
There almost certainly is something else.

I guarantee you one hundred years from when the white population is only about 10% of the population, Evil Whitey will still be blamed for every problem of black people. It just never ends.
