These are genetic disorders that have nothing to do with race. Sickle cell anemia is almost exclusively a disease suffered by black people. However, if whites and blacks inter-marry, eventually you'll see white people with SSA..

Huh? Is there a logic in this statement that eludes me? Other than your conclusion, your argument validates the propositon that some genetic disorders are "race" linked. (Actually, I prefer the term "breed" of mankind.}

I think my post goes back to a previous post that said that certain diseases afflicted only certain races, which implied that only those races coud get those diseases. I'm trying to point out that there is no "racial" aspect to these diseases(i.e. not only black people can get sickle cell anemia, while whites are genetically immune to it), just that they have historically been found only in certain races due to the fact that, up until recently, inter-racial mating was pretty rare.
