It's [current year] > whites hate the color of black people's skin > blacks suffer sleeplessness as a result. Makes sense, no?

In America, you can find inequality between white and black people just about everywhere you look. Stark disparities exist in education, in health, in income. And they creep into underappreciated parts of daily life too, like sleep...

The sleep gap is essential to understand. It’s a disparity that is both caused by social inequalities and likely to perpetuate them...

Not only do black Americans sleep fewer hours, there’s evidence that the sleep they get is of poorer quality: waking up more frequently and spending less time in the most restful stages of sleep. Black Americans are also more likely to develop sleep apnea, a breathing disorder that can have a serious impact on sleep and health.

Lol that this is in the "science and health" section of the website.

In turn, it’s suspected that poor sleep can contribute to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity (https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2016/11/4/11751362/bad-sleep-loss-overeating-weight-gain), which also disproportionally (http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/early/2017/10/20/CIR.0000000000000534) affect black Americans.

Isn't this the other way around? Obesity/poor diet is the cause of the the others?

Hard hitting science there too. Good for the headline looking socialists.

Just about all the old fat guys talk about their CPAP machines at work, and the sleep study crap. This talk of race is nonsense.

This talk of race is nonsense. It always has been but it's made Rev AL and Jesse a ton of cash, hasn't it?

Lack of sleep might be from late night hook ups eating government funded twinkies and a quart of malt liquor bought from an EBT card.
Oh wait is that racist of me to say while I get early to go to work?
