Chlamydia among Blacks is 6x higher than Whites!!

race is not personal information. when i say they don't give personal info, I mean they don't give any identifying information. things like gender, race, age are reported so the CDC and state health agencies can track and predict trends and help prevent spread of communicable diseases. You would not be able to figure out who the person was by the report. although, for some diseases, the person's identity must be reported so the health dept can contact them to prevent spread of the disease. the health dept cannot disclose any of the person's protected health information to third parties though without the patient's consent.

Rather than look with disdain at such reports, perhaps some of our brothers and sisters should take the info and use it. Denial of a problem will never help to solve it. That may be why the black rate of HIV infection is so high now, people have all sorts of theories as to why the white man is making up these stories of HIV infections and spread and they use them as excuses to avoid practicing safe sex. Information that SHOULD prompt one to be careful in their sexual practices cannot harm you.

If they aren't giving personal information as a means of verifying the accuracy of what they are reporting concerning the race, gender, and age of the people, then they are liable to make up anything and present them as legitimate stats.

I could just say 75% of all AIDS cases are white men in their 50's...and no one would have any way of disputing this.

Check it black...

It's not called the CDC for nothing.

It's the Center for Disease Control...not the Center for Disease Prevention.

They just monitor and control diseases to make sure they stay in the communities they were intended for.

Well, if one chooses to believe that a report of a high rate of STDs among our community is just white lies, then uses that reasoning to avoid practicing safe sex, that just spreads the disease around more.

One the other hand, if one wanted to use propaganda like this...

http://www.blacknews.com/images/ucinn.gif

Warning women of ALL RACES to avoid any type of contact with black men for fear of catching AIDS based on bogus statistics and phoney doctored information...

...and that type of poisonous propaganda went unchallenged.

Then it would be effective in giving black men a terrible image and it would be successful in isolating us from the rest of humanity and cutting off our seed because everyone would look at black men as disease ridden sexual predators.

So we must be cynical and skeptical of ALL negative information about us coming from those other than ourselves, and make sure it's verified before repeating it.


Look how this "down low" foolishness has spread like wild-fire among our sistaz.
