“Because of its genetic component, the disease is almost completely restricted to individuals of African descent.”

The biggest argument against the stupid leftists telling us that “race is a social concept with no genetic basis.”

Sickle Cell Disease rarely gets talked about today, compared to decades ago.
Thought not curable, perhaps it has become more treatable now, vs in the 1970’s.

I know of one black girl in my high school class who had it. Very talented artist and good Baptist.
I don’t know if she’s still around or not. Several women with her same name are on the internet. I won’t join facebook just for that idle matter of nostalgia.
