A groundbreaking study led by researchers from the University of Maryland College Park’s School of Health found Black mortality rates are much higher in areas with greater levels of racism.
The study gauged the levels of racism across 196 media markets based on the volume of Google searches containing the “n-word” in each area. Researchers qualified that not all the searches were necessarily motivated by racism, but assumed “that areas with a greater concentration of these searches have higher levels of racism overall.”

This is a highly flawed study. I am surprised that a tenured Professor of any credibility would allow such a study. Unless the use of the “N” word also had the race of the person using it, the study is worthless.
What utter BS!
My experience has been that a certain thuggish subculture within the African American community uses the “n-word” more than anyone.
So it does make sense that black mortality rates would be higher where there are more “n-word”-using African Americans.
But the Afro declared this “groundbreaking.”
In black neighborhoods ....
The only people I know who use the "n-word" are blacks themselves and rappers. So the study shows that black mortality is highest where people listen to rap music?
Consider the source: “The Afro”???
given the High percentage of people who refer to themselves as the N word....this “study is laughable at best
Um, yeah. Okay. Did it ever occur to these “researchers” that the word people were searching for may very well have been typed by the very people who can use the word without repercussions?
Totally bogus assumption. The vast majority of people using the N word online are African Americans.
These researchers are stupid.
No one uses the N-word more than blacks.

why would anyone be surprised that being a racist is not good for one’s health?
It is possible to identify the geographic location of people submitting Google queries? I did not know that.
So if we turn that around: we know that areas with a higher prevalence of Black deaths are areas with a higher Black population. And if it is within these areas that we have higher frequencies of racist Google queries what does that say about the level of racism in the population of these areas?
Somehow I don't think these researches explored that one. Or that Afro.com would publish such observations.
Makes sense. I’ve never experienced more racism than from black trash. Which is basically what the cities are.
The study gauged the levels of racism across 196 media markets based on the volume of Google searches containing the “n-word” in each area.
...
These days, the “n-word” is almost exclusively used by black people.
By “racist locales”, they mean black neighborhoods, right?
Does this mean that blacks are racist after all?
