We are to blame for hypertension, diabetes, asthma and obesity?

I was going to ask "What's the 'this' that we are responsible for?"

China Flu?

The left adopting overthrowing the United States of America as their central party platform?

There are a few problems going on, she doesn't specify, which really makes it a lot funnier and more racist.

"SOMETHING BAD?!?!? THOSE EVIL WHITE TRUMP SUPPORTERS DID IT!!! BLACK LIVES MATTER!!!!!"

Talk to enough libshits, and yes, we somehow are.

Because the government (or someone??) didn't put farm to table restaurants and single source organic farmers markets in every single inner city neighborhood, it is somehow our fault as a society that people (particularly poor people) make poor dietary choices and then suffer from easily preventable health conditions when they age.

McDonalds is an Irish name bigot. Not the new kind of Irish in shows and movies, all colors, but the white kind and that is super racist.

This is one of the lesser known things that I find quite interesting:

American blacks are actually like a sub-species of blacks. The conditions of the slave trade and transport to America across the Atlantic created a genetic bottleneck event based on which survived the journey and which didn't.

There are health issues which are much more prevalent in American blacks than European or African blacks. One of these is hypertension. The body factors that allowed them to survive the limited water rations they received during the voyage leads to hypertension in a "normal" environment. But for diabetes, asthma, and obesity... I don't know if they're related or not.

But beware: never ask yourself if there are any mental traits tied to the physical traits of the bottleneck, because that's "racist" and genetics doesn't work above the neck anyways :P Never mind that we've found that face shape is highly correlative to political stance....

And, of course, neither you nor I are or were slave traders, so we are not to blame.
