If you believe that time, math, tests, punctuality, paying bills, work, English, the laws against looting, and climate are all racist, then maybe living is racist too.

Can’t make this up.

[DaxtonBrown]

They are really, really, stretching it with this one. How long before the racism meme snaps of absurdity?

[packagingguy]

I thought pregnant and nursing men of color were most adversely affected.

everything is racist. 100% of this nation’s resources go into uncovering and dealing with racism. Just think what our nation could be doing if not for the “strength” of diversity vacuuming up all our time, energy, resources, attention...

I wish Free Republic would ban posting articles from CNN in the News/Activision category. Maybe create a “Disinformation” category for liberal media? Just a thought...

Ho ho. The Babylon Bee just gets funnier and funnier!

“Among those are housing conditions, noise pollution, light pollution, air pollution, stress from different sources – including perceived racial discrimination – and jobs or working conditions,” he said, adding that the convergence of all those factors may explain why getting the recommended amount of sleep “may be less common among Black adults than among White adults.”

my guess is the loud music, rude neighbors, swearing, arguing and gunshots at night, fears of violent crime, etc. so common in black communities are the causes of sleep deprivation. These are all self inflicted wounds, people...

Growing evidence shows that lack of sleep and sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, remain more prevalent in Black, Asian, and Hispanic or Latino communities

Let's see that "evidence".

Words fail me.

That’s why I keep a copy of my White Privilege card posted on an east-facing window. It delays sunrise for an hour.

Why, yes! Yes it does! It's time to finish off this ridiculous practice forever! End Daylight Savings Time!

Besides, the extra hour of sun burns my grass.

Had to double check to make sure this wasn’t from the Bee. /s

What does any of this have to do with the time change?

Personally, I'd prefer that we eliminate DST and stick with standard time. I want the sun to be highest in the sky at noon all year long.

Moving to a permanent Daylight Savings Time is a de facto moving of the demarcation of time away from Greenwich, England.

Since most blacks live in urban areas I can sort of believe this. It might be more relevant to study differences in sleep comparing urban, suburban and rural settings.

[TribalPrincess2U]

OMG!

hair discrimination may contribute to some Black women using potentially harmful chemical hair products because policies might not allow specific hairstyles in school or the workplace.

BS. They use chemicals to straighten because they hate their kinky hair. I would too.

[Chicory]

Why can’t they change the categories? Study people who live in noisy, light-polluted, stressful situations vs people who don’t?
