Hmmmmm and to think, you are contributing to the decline of the white race. How sad.

What's your take on this?

You should. Even with death rising, the article takes the time to let you know, you still have it better than those pesky black people.

White death rates still are not nearly as bad as black rates — not even for those 45 to 54. The rate is about 415 deaths for every 100,000 white people in that age group. For blacks, it's 582 per 100,000.

It is a rather disturbing study, and the fact that the United States is the only developed country to see such in increase in deaths in the 45 - 54 age group really highlights how something has gone terribly wrong.

I tend to hide my feelibgs. How does that get past autocorrect? I had to deny autocorrect twice just to make this post.

Fried chicken and bacon grease in the collard greens may have something to do with that.

Probably need to point out that quite a few white folks think that's a pretty tasty plate

The difference between the easy access to healthcare (and basic medications, etc) even in third world countries vs. the vaunted US healthcare system amazes me
