“Why the Mortality Rate for Black Infants Is So High”

Something else to blame white people for?

[Alberta's Child]

Planned Parenthood has a great approach for lowering “black infant mortality” as it’s measured now.

Smoking blunts laced with crack cocaine up until the day of birth was not factored into the study.

I don't take any article on this subject seriously when they leave out the four biggest factors in negative outcomes in pregnancy:

Obesity
Smoking
Alcohol abuse
Drug abuse

Not even mentioned.

Oh, the irony of someone named Solzhenitsyn penning an article for National Review that cites the Center for American Rights as an authority on anything...

This is so sad.

As far as poor conditions at home ... one of my black co-workers and his wife were thrilled to be having another baby a couple of years ago. Both parents were smokers. I’m not sure if hte mom was able to quit completely before the birth. The baby was premature. She died of SIDS during the holidays.

We had to take up a collection at work because the family could not afford the baby’s funeral.

Some other “politically incorrect facts” that were left out or the researchers put blinders on when asking questions:
A. black girls have at least two (2) children by age 16;
B. the girls became sexually active around age nine (9), not so much their idea but the males in their families or neighbors;
C. have had many partners during their child-bearing years and thus have had numerous sexually transmitted diseases; and
D. black girls and women consume alcohol, tobacco and drugs at higher rates than white girls and women, though the latter seemingly are in a race to catch up!

I read years ago that a French pediatrician studied this question of low birth weight and found that the gestation period for blacks is approximately 2 weeks shorter than for whites. The doctor proposed that the issue of low birth weight could be treated by starting pre-natal care earlier than white women need it. The physician was denounced and shunned for his “racist” suggestion that black women and white women were different and needed different types of care.

Full disclosure: I haven’t yet read the article.

But let me just say, my mother (God rest her sainted soul) was an RN for years in neonatal intensive care in a Baltimore City hospital. The stories she could tell you... I don’t know how she lived through the stress. Watching barely functioning drug addicts leave with those prematurely-born babies — trying to instruct them on the caregiving, while BabyDaddyPimp yakked on the cellphone about some “deal”, or Grandma screamed at the other 2,3,4 illegitimates in tow....
