Living longer in a nursing home is no win.

There are no rich black people in Bel-Air-Brentwood, etc?

The results are both horrifying and predictable: rich, white people are doing a-ok and poor people and people of color are not.

Blacks in the upper income areas are dying far sooner than whites?

Asian Americans live the longest. But there is very little difference in life expectancy among other American groups.

Word is that Watts in 2013 ain't that "Black" anymore; it's pretty full of Hispanics who have the rep of certain health problems between their Indian family background and diseases like diabetes and so on.

and???


why???


could it be demographics???

the USa has an AVERAGE life expectacny of 79.1, just recently up from 78.9

but if you break it down further

in the USA, the asian american female has a life expectancy of 86(the HIGHEST in the WORLD)..whites are around 83...hispanics around 76...and blacks have a LOW LIFE expectacy around 66m/68f....giving us the AVERAGE of 79.1.....

demographic plays BIG ROLES

we (the USA) also have the HIGHEST teen pregnancy (of any industrial country) ...which leads to low baby weight, and high infant mortality.....and the hightest DEMOGRAPHIC with teen pregancies...the blacks

its facts...
