    Racist policies such as redlining which can cause greater exposure to things such as lead (for one single example) can absolutely impact generational health development. So, yes, racism can cause circulatory disease.

    I think you have the wrong platform; this is Lemmy, not an alt. right shithole.

        Classic symptom of an impoverished community. Could be caused by systemic racism or historical events.

            I’m sure there are. But usually when things are present in groups of a specific race, it’s related to some form of racism.

        You’re right, we should blame black people for choosing to be poor.
