It's shocking that half of the country isn't walking around with black eyes and fat lips.
Im so happy that I can sleep peacefully at night because I’m white! Darwinism FTW! /s
Naps are racist?
Yawn....I’m gonna have to sleep on that one.
That's quite an assumption to make.
Oh, for Pete's sake! Maybe all that black-on-black violence has them on edge.
DANG!
“It’s uncomfortable for them to sleep because they are thinking back over mistreatment, thinking back over maltreatment, thinking back over bias they experienced,” Beatty Moody told National Journal.”
And we whites who all go back to generations of wealth and ease are sleeping just fine???? /s
It never ends in our “color-blind” society.

Interesting. My wife and I always like getting our “around town chores” such as filling up gas, grocery store, Sams/Costco shopping done from 0900-1100 because the feral criminal crackhead-type elements here in Little Rock aren’t even awake and around until noon.
What a load of psychobabble. Sleep apnea also affects overweight people more than those who are not. Did the study cross-screen for overweight subjects in addition to race? If the black participants were heavier, than it is likely that their quality of sleep was not as good as the whites’.
A true "scientist" would see the opportunity to prove the theory, a liberal would ignore it.
Well, that was quick! Got a question about something... pop up the racism explanation.
Government mandated drugs for whites will rectify this soon.
Sleep apnea is associated with overweight, is it not? Is that possibly a factor in accounting for the difference? I have no idea whether it is, but at least it's a falsifiable hypothesis where verifiable measurements can be taken. As opposed to, you know, thoughts of bias (detected how and defined by whom?) experienced in someone's dreams causing wakefulness (how?) . . .
In short, can anyone detect the presence of the scientific method in any of the investigators' speculations? I didn't think so.
And yet I can detect the scale of the budget, and hazard a hypothesis—easily proved or disproved—at how the investigative team was chosen.
Everyday Discrimination Prospectively Predicts Inflammation across 7-Years in Racially Diverse Midlife Women: Study of Women's Health across the Nation
"Self-reported discrimination has emerged as a predictor of negative psychological and physical health outcomes across racial/ethnic groups. The goals of this study was to determine whether C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation and risk factor for future cardiovascular disease (CVD) was independently predicted by everyday discrimination or whether race or body mass index (BMI) modified this association over a 7-year period among 2,490 women from racially diverse backgrounds"
Golly! I think she's got an agenda. I take it there's big money in Baltimore academia for researchers performing studies where racism is a component. Add 'women' and 'healthcare' into the mix and it's an academia gravy train.
Other ethnicities have sleep disorders too:

No weed and malt after 9:00 will cure that problem!
If Black people would stay home at night and get a good night sleep, rather than going out and stealing and robbing people, there wouldn’t be a problem.
Well, if absolutely every effing thing is effing racist, then effing cool. I am a muther-effing racist muther-effer, and effing happy about it.
SO EFF OFF.
Did they control for drugs, alcohol, boredom from not working, self-doubt from affirmative action and not knowing who their daddy is?
I love the comments from other FR’ers:
weed and malt after 9 PM
genetic differences
staying home at night and geting a good night sleep, rather than going out and stealing and robbing people
overweight
She knows what sleep deprived black people are thinking? She must have ESP. I am going all racist here and say I bet Mexicans have no issues getting plenty of sleep. I wonder what they are thinking? I wonder what Asians are thinking when they cannot sleep? I am a sleep deprived white person, does she know what I am thinking?
Sometimes my wife knows exactly what I am thinking when I am awake at 2:00am. Other times she just pretends she doesn’t know.
Ummmm, sleep apnea is strongly correlated with being overweight... and blacks tend to be overweight more than whites. Possibly because they eat more... which I'm sure is somehow the fault of white people...
