“The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies’ Health Policy Institute says a growing number of “health experts” believe African-American babies are twice as likely to die as white infants in large part because of the stress of racism on their mothers.”

Because of the stress of racism? Wow, way to narrow down to specific cause. Are they kidding???

How about the stress of providing for the child after the father skipped out on her?

Or the fact that the mothers might just be using more crack cocaine or meth?

Well, they do have a point about being stressed. These girls are very stressed after they reap what they sow when they try to live the type of life that their peer group expects them to live. They bring this stress onto themselves.
