Black women who reported experiencing racism may be at an increased risk of having a stroke, a new study finds.
Participants who said they experienced racism in employment, housing and interactions with police had an estimated 38% higher chance of experiencing all types of strokes compared to Black women who didn’t perceive experiencing racism, the study found.
The study, published under Boston University’s Black Women’s Health Study (BHWS), followed 48,375 Black women from 1997 to 2019 who were free of cardiovascular disease and cancer at the beginning of the study. Over the 22-year period, the study identified 1,664 cases of Black women who had strokes.
Black adults are 50% more likely to have a stroke compared to white adults, and Black women are two times more likely to have a stroke than white women, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
While experts have cited factors like obesity or hypertension as the cause for such high rates, the BWHS aimed to show that potential causes from environmental and social factors that individuals can’t change — like racism — should also be considered, according to Dr. Julie Palmer, director of the Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University and a co-author of the study.

Geez Louise this is stupid
Wear dem racis’ at?
I Relish in my newfound Power!
Attention white people,
your mere contact with black people is corrosive and deadly to them. STAY AWAY, Don’t hire them, Don’t go into their businesses, and for Gods Sake don’t talk to them. Every interaction you have with a black person shaves years off their lives, so Stay Away and them KILL EACH OTHER
Just another reason why we are never going to resolve our differences with the leftists. The choices are fight or be a slave. Seems a vast majority in this country, including a fair number of conservatives, would rather go the slave route, whether they know it or not.
Then black women should stop being racist.
Stress of any sort theoretically would.
Just when you think NBC News hit rock-bottom their pandering and stupidity...
This is wild.
New study reveals racism may increase the risk of stroke in Black women
I guess they need to stop being racists then.
Horrible dietary regimen, largely sedentary lifestyle and a propensity to fly off the handle and spout “racist!” at the drop of a hat are the causes. And it didn’t take an expensive USDHHS ‘study’ to show that.
One of them had the brilliant idea to come up with this 400 years stuff. Many more of them took it a step further - 4000 years to forever.
So according to this study and considering the modern definition of racism, all black women will have a stroke.
Attention: Murder of white people increased by many multiples due to black on white crime.
And no I am not a racists. The crimes are due to culture and upbringing, and the democrats teaching them to hate everyone.

In my experience, black women are primarily RESPONSIBLE for racism.
Or is it black men?

So all that black on black racism (BLM, rap music, blacks shooting other blacks, etc) is increasing the risk of strokes amongst black women?
Gee, that’s too bad. I would suggest black people cease and desist with their racism.
Toilet seats most harmed!
they should STOP being racsis then...
Gee... bitter,paranoid women with high stress levels have higher levels of stroke...
