Breast Cancer, Racism, and Democrat Debate

An interesting item was published by Reuters. The article cites a story in the American Journal of Epidemiology. I quote the appropriate portion, and provide a link to the entire article.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Black women who feel they've been victims of racial discrimination are more likely than their peers to develop breast cancer, a large study suggests. The study, which followed 59,000 African-American women for six years, found that those who reported more incidents of racial discrimination had a higher risk of breast cancer. ... The relationship was stronger among women younger than 50, researchers found. Women who said they'd faced discrimination on the job, in housing and from the police were 48 percent more likely to develop the disease than those who reported no incidents of major discrimination.

Since the Democrat debate of June 28, 2007, conducted in front a predominantly African-American audience at Howard University, contained a healthy dose of racism against black women (see my post here) I suggest those in attendance immediately schedule an exam.
