It seems there’s no end to the horrors inflicted on the black population from “racism.” Maybe those complaining of it ought to go to a country where there are no horrid, wicked whites. I’m sure many citizens would be glad to chip in for the one-way airfare.

So how does that translate to blacks having higher than average blood pressure around the world, even in Africa?
I have read that this slightly elevated blood pressure reduces the risk of malaria contraction.

People who worry about inner-city crime suffer from the same phenomenon so it equals out.

So, quit being so damn racist and obsessed with the color of folks’ skin and your blood pressure will go down.

RE :”
Black patients who worry or think frequently about race have higher blood pressure than those who dont, according to new study by a research group based at Johns Hopkins University.
That study concluded:
racism may increase risk for [high blood pressure]; these effects emerge more clearly for institutional racism than for individual level racism. All levels of racism may influence the prevalence of [high blood pressure] via stress exposure and reactivity and by fostering conditions that undermine health behaviors, raising the barriers to lifestyle change. See, its a myth that they get high blood pressure from over-weight and all that salty fast food they eat.

Its fear of you Zimmermans invading THEIR neighborhoods with guns raising their blood pressure..

Well, then, I guess that black people will always have high blood pressure because black people will always imagine that racism is why blacks trail other groups. Since almost everything is perceived by black people to be racist, even when there is no evidence of racism, this alleged high blood pressure connection will always be.
Of course, there is likely a far greater reason why black people have, on average, higher blood pressure than others. It could be that the same high-fat, high-cholesterol diet that has black people, on average, being the most obese Americans leads to higher blood pressure. Or it could have to do with genes that predispose certain races to be more susceptible to certain maladies than other races.

How bout "hateism"? These race pimps are liable for most of the crimes committed by blacks. In order to gain and keep their power and the money gained by having that power, pimps like Al and Jesse keep black communities stirred up about how downtrodden they are by whitey and the hate festers and grows.
Hate eats up the soul and the humanity and doesn't care who it attacks. So the first choice may be a cracka, but the hate contaminates everything, so the disgruntled go on killing sprees, egged on by the race pimps, and the pile of victims grows.

I am white and I already take high blood pressure medication, so I can hate Obama’s guts as much as I want.
It’s not the color of his skin that bothers me, it’s that it’s so thin.

This sort of paranoid ideation, which induces people ever to blame others for every problem, prevents those affected from dealing constructively with all aspects of their lives, including the immediate problem.
It is a story as old as demagoguery, of course. (From the serpent whispering disatisfaction in Eve's ear, to the present occupant of the White House.) Consider the Blame & Envy Cocktail.

But I have high blood pressure and I’m White! Who do I get to blame it on so as not to take responsibility for my health. Maybe I have high blood pressure because I’m always thinking and worrying about Blacks thinking I’m a racist just because I’m White. Yeah that’s it it’s not me it’s the Blacks.

Makes perfect sense to me. If you are racist you tend to have high blood pressure. Many more blacks than whites are obsessed with race which makes them, to some degree, racists. Ergo, more blacks are more prone to HBP.
Now we know.

Maybe I have high blood pressure because Im always thinking and worrying about Blacks thinking Im a racist just because Im White. Not worrying about it at all could result in having no blood pressure.
