Researchers Find Black Mortality Rates Higher in Racist Locales
The Afro ^ | May 15, 2015 | Zenitha Prince

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.”

I think we can assume these researchers at the University of Maryland avoided nearby Baltimore and DC. In every scientific field of study there is no avoiding leftist vomit ideology.

Do they mean, like Baltimore—where black/white racism is obvious and rampant?

And how do they determine that an area is racist. The word racist is overused to the point that it has lost all meaning.

And just how did they measure “higher level of racism”?

What is a racist locale? Wherever two or more white liberals gather together to worship blacks.... Wherever blacks gather together to be victims.

So, according to the CIA Worlds Factbook, the life expectancy in Zambia is 51.8 years. (For those of you not keeping track Zambia it is estimated the 0.5% is non-Black.)

Black folk in the US live to be 74.8.(National Vital Statistics Center)

So using this idiots reasoning, Zambia is rassis!

Black mortality is highest in areas controlled by democrats for the last 40 years.

THAT’S the real truth that dare not be spoken

Seems to me the mortality rate is highest in Black neighborhoods. Am I to understand they are the most racist areas of any given city?

I’ll have to give that some thought. They just may be.

I’d like to know how they defined and applied ‘racist.’ To use that heavily loaded but meaningless word in a ‘scientific’ study, and I use the term loosely, tells me all I need to know about this ‘study.’ It is propaganda, conclusion already drawn. Is it ‘ALL blacks who live in racist communities (read, this country) should have free everything.’

“Niggah” being one of the mainstays of Black Urban Ebonics, one might well conclude that the worst “racist” areas were black inner cities.

So the study shows that black mortality is highest where people listen to rap music?

OMG - you're right! Rap music is the cause.

And studying racism will get you tenure at a school of public health.

...based on the volume of Google searches containing the “n-word”...

And how did they control for the searches by Blacks themselves, or rappers. They just assumed that anyone who dared breath that dreaded word was a racist, huh? Sounds legit.

They missed a very critical word in there.

‘Researchers Find Black Mortality Rates Higher in “Black” Racist Locales’

It’s an obvious point. When blacks use the “n” word among themselves, it is still gutter language, indicative of a lack of moral responsibility based in poor upbringing.

Aren't the majority of people who use the “n-word” in social situations actually, ummmmm, "persons of color" themselves?

(My father was born in 1900 and I never heard him say it.)

The takeaway I get from this story is that google is a STASI spy network which will be used extensively to enforce conformity on dissidents.

Google: The Most EVIL corporation in the world.

I sense circular logic just from the title.

given the High percentage of people who refer to themselves as the N word....this “study is laughable at best

It may be "laughable" to rational people, but that is not the sort we are dealing with here. Do not doubt that google will be used to enforce Gleichschaltung on the rest of us.
