Please just run your eyes upon these statistics,I cant help but see a causual effect linked to race and its mythology,and am using,histrical proof as well as the laws of quantum physic and personal eye witness accounts   to verify my findings.

Please excuse my rambling introduction,that was for my baby brother Ivan Gibson slain 1992,Ive dedicated my book to his memory,Its was in 1989 that I first learned , while working as a N.Y.C police officer, what goes on behind the seen.That year washington dc and newyork were almost tied as far as homocide rates,I  knew there appeared to be a inordinate amount of homocides,particularly  so called black on black,in harlem then in comparision to other areas I had worked.

One particular homocide case sparked with in me a startling revelation, The victims name was Daryl Dotson When we received the pick up we knew there was shots fired and a young man was shot but I had no idea he was brain dead, I picked this young 17 man up and held him in my arms as he bled on my uniform,my partner drove us to Harlem Hospital,I stayed and watched the emergency crew fight valiantly to save his life,Well when I was leaving I asked one of the attending physicians" Do You Think He Will Make It?" his response was" OH that guy he is parts!!!!" He said when ever there is a person shot, mostly in the head,but the person is still alive they keep the person alive and send a tele-type all around the world Letting Hospitals know they have a potential donor and body parts are sold,sometimes to the highest bidder,sound familiar,well I dont care to go into any more detaills at this time but only to say much money is made from so called black poverty(This time period coincides with the pioneering of heart transplants technology. My brother died pretty much the same way,Great profits are made from the misery of others,Caskets,funerals,pharmacilical drugs,high blood pressure medicine,guns and body parts etc,etc,the economy would collapse if Its  funding which is made possible  through  race mentality namely,of seeing each other as less than sacred spirit of the divine,Race is the tool that gurantee that these statistics remain,I option to expand on The Dream Of Dr Martin Luther King.through non-violence of consciousness and education ,Its a long road back home.

I thank you and honor you for your part in making a difference,We dont have to agree,as long as we are doing what we feel in our heart and soul is right,time will tell if the conditions I present to you in these statistic ,have changed based upon the changes we have labored  for.I make a causual connect between these staggering statistic and Racism,(Race)

One in 7 Blacks has the diabetis, and African-Americans are twice as likely as Whites to develop diabetes. At the rate that diabetes is progressing, it is predicted that for every two African-American children born today, one will develop diabetes--type 2 diabetes, which used to be called "adult onset diabetes." But with more Black children than ever before being diagnosed with diabetes, medical professionals are rethinking their entire approach to the disease--and raising the question: Has diabetes become an epidemic in Black America?

"We're seeing shortening of life spans, people are dying earlier from heart disease, strokes," says Dr. Duane Smoot, chair of the medical department at the Howard University Hospital. "There are just so many problems associated with diabetes. It causes aging of your blood vessels, so hardening of the arteries occurs more frequently. It causes people to have more problems with aging. We talk about aging gracefully, but with this disease, it makes it more difficult to have a good quality of life.

Age, ethnicity and family history are the main risk factors for prostate cancer. With regards to ethnicity, African American men and Jamaican men of African descent have the highest prostate cancer incidence in the world. The Risk Assessment program at Fox Chase can help assess your personal prostate cancer risk.

Breast Cancer and African Americans
Although more white women are diagnosed with breast cancer, more black women die from the disease. Research has shown that black women are often diagnosed at later, harder-to-treat stages of breast cancer and have more aggressive breast cancers. Access to top-quality care and genetics may contribute to increased risk. Learn more about your personal risk for breast cancer.

Lung Cancer and African Americans
Research suggests that blacks are 55% more likely than whites to develop lung cancer from light to moderate cigarette smoking. The results hold true even after considering factors such as diet, socioeconomic status and occupations, suggesting that genetics and biology may play a role.

See the Washington Post article here .

See the Justice Department study here .

Here are a few quotes from the article:

The study by the Bureau of Justice Statistics also found that from 2001 to 2005, more than nine out of 10 black murder victims were killed by other blacks, and three out of four were slain with a gun.

"Black victimization is a real problem, and it's often black on black," said David A. Harris, a law professor at the University of Toledo who studies crime trends. "That aspect has to be brought into any attempt to address the crime problem, and the community itself must be called into the process."

There was at least one piece of relative good news in the review: Black victimization rates dropped at about the same pace as white victimization rates from 1993 to 2001 as part of a historic decline in crime.



According to a Justice Department report released in July 2003, the U.S. prison population surpassed 2 million for the first time—2,166,260 people were incarcerated in prisons or jails at the end of 2002 (the latest statistics available). Since 1990, the U.S. prison population, already the world's largest, has almost doubled.

About two-thirds of prisoners were in state and federal prisons, while the rest were in local jails. The report does not count all juvenile offenders, but noted that there were more than 10,000 inmates under age 18 held in adult prisons and jails in 2002. The number of women in federal and state prisons reached 97,491.

About 10.4% of the entire African-American male population in the United States aged 25 to 29 was incarcerated, by far the largest racial or ethnic group—by comparison, 2.4% of Hispanic men and 1.2% of white men in that same age group were incarcerated. According to a report by the Justice Policy Institute in 2002, the number of black men in prison has grown to five times the rate it was twenty years ago. Today, more African-American men are in jail than in college. In 2000 there were 791,600 black men in prison and 603,032 enrolled in college. In 1980, there were 143,000 black men in prison and 463,700 enrolled in college.


A recent study suggests that African Americans have a 3 times higher (or 200% greater) likelihood of developing schizophrenia during their lives. Research Notes on African Americans and Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a severe, lifelong brain disorder. People who have it may hear voices, see things that aren't there or believe that others are reading or controlling their minds. Symptoms include unusual thoughts or perceptions, disorders of movement, difficulty in speaking and expressing emotion, problems with attention, memory and organization.
