Moleendo Stewart cant say for sure whats caused his lifelong sleeping problems. But he has his suspicions.
Theres the childhood spent in loud, restless neighborhoods in Miami. You hear people shooting guns all night, dealing drugs, said Mr. Stewart, 41, who lives in the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn. He also cites his weight, 260 pounds, down from a peak of 310.

White pillows must be the overwhelming cause.
To: ConservativeStatement
He’ weighs 260 pounds and he’s blaming his sleep problems on his race.
It’s time to cut off all food aid to the poor in this country for 60 days.. Not another bite for them.

Tomorrow morning, the sun will rise in the East. It’s racism, I tell you: pure racism.

I’ve only read the excerpt, but if I was cursed with a name like Moleendo, I’d probably be up nights, too.

He also cites his weight, 260 pounds, ...I'm assuming he's not built like an olympic diver, so he probably suffers from sleep apnea.

Duh, if this thread is about Sleep-Profiling, than somebody is going to get a nasty call from the feared Profile Police!

"As a black person in America, even if you succeed in terms of education, you still have to deal with the inherent inequality of society" What a horrible country we live in. Yeah, having the benefit of affirmative action hiring and an endless menu of special programs and privileges awarded based upon skin color would keep me up nights too. Maybe they should count benefits instead of sheep.

“In one of two studies on the topic presented there, white participants from the Chicago area were found to get an average of 7.4 hours of sleep per night; Hispanics and Asians averaged 6.9 hours and blacks 6.8 hours.”
Well, well - the presstitute who wrote that New York Slimes ‘T*rd with no clean end’ conveniently forgot that both Hispanics and Asians got the same amount of sleep.
Next, Mr. Presstitute deliberately ignored the well know fact that Hispanics are at the lower end of most all parameters from degrees to percentage of violent criminals. But Mr. Presstitute ignores the fact that Asians sleep as do Hispanics yet vastly outperform them in nearly every area except crime.
Clearly, sleep is not the factor Mr. Presstitute claims. Bad Presstitute! Bad science, too! !

This is funnier than hell! I looked for The Onion (or John Semmens) and then saw it was NYT — which only added to the mirth.
Tell you what, you SOBs (sons of barack) BETTER sleep with one eye open after what you did to US, voting 99% for Odingo!
LOL

I'm assuming he's not built like an olympic diver, so he probably suffers from sleep apnea. I'd agree based on his weight and height.

To: Lurker
He’s complaining about growing up in nasty, deadly city diversity neighborhoods. Can’t blame him. A lot of people put on a lot of weight to hide themselves when traumatized as children and if I grew up in a hood of drug dealers gang thugs, I would be a tad neurotic, too. He ought not race bait whitey for it. He should give himself a better culture and environment.
To: ConservativeStatement; Revolting cat!; Slings and Arrows; JoeProBono
So now it is “racist” to say “Good night, sleep tight?

I'm assuming he's not built like an olympic diver, Maybe for the new cannonball and belly flop events. Maximum splash gives bonus points instead of deductions.
