Report: Black U.S. AIDS rates rival some African nations


"AIDS in America today is a black disease," says Phill Wilson, founder and CEO of the institute. What the hell is this article saying? Im so confused how a disease that affects all races is being called a “black disease.” Maybe more black people have the disease but it is NOT a black disease. Its an AWFUL disease and that should be its only label. Connecting a disease such as this to a specific race is just wrong. This disease effects everyone. Yes its true that this disease effects the black race more often than any other race but I think that we should take that information for what it is and look to find out why? And look for ways to prevent it. Not waste our time thinking it’s a “black disease” . people do see race and people are not color blind but I don’t think people should act on it. Of Corse il admit that I can be bias towards my own race but in this case I think the media is using to on some levels put black people beneath whites. This is an awful disease and should not ever be labeled towards a certain race.

  1. Provocative comments here but work to develop them even further. Also, you need to update your blog far more regularly. There is nothing here in March at all.
