Former Democrat Rep. and self-appointed fire chief Jamaal Bowman took to CNN this week to complain that black Americans have higher rates of heart disease and diabetes because of the "stress" of "being called the n-word - either directly or indirectly - every day."
The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the n-word - directly or indirectly - every day," Bowman yelled at a white Republican on the panel.
Because obesity-related health problems couldn't possibly be due to personal diet choices and poor nutrition, made worse by leftwing policies that keep urban areas mired in poverty, crime, and low education rates, which produce poor socioeconomic outcomes that lead to people buying cheap, low-quality food.
Easier to just blame fictional racist white people, I guess.
