“Entrenched systemic racism” is a significant risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia in non-white Americans, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) claimed in its 2022 update on how to fight the disease.
The HHS’ “National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease” said black, Hispanic and low-income populations are more likely to face health-related risk factors that contribute to Alzheimer’s and said this disparity is due to “structural inequities” that are the result of racism.

Beyond dumb. Who are these people? Obviously educated in the marxist public education system of the USA. The dems have been successful with telling people they are victims, now they are for it. I'm tired of victim-hood.

Wow, I already knew math was racist. And water, merit, achievement, IQ, 401k, saving for the future, and the SAT.
So, it’s only logical a disease condition caused by a combination of genetic bad luck and life choices (typically food and exercise, but perhaps also infection) is also racist.

Crackpot on steroids. Talk about racism - I know a local man (black) who owns his own successful small business and is building his dream home. He is from Boston and all his siblings are lawyers and other white collar types. They don't like him at all because his wife is white. He and his wife are happily married and love each other and she is a teacher. He is loyal and faithful to his wife. Her family loves him. Now who is the racist here?

According to Scripture, there are only TWO "races" in the world;
1) Gentiles
2) Jews
that's it.
There's only ONE type of "racism" and that is Anti-Semitism, and the Demonrats practice it daily.

Wokeness comes to Alzheimer's! I guess racism is why so many white people contract it. Maybe it’s a form of punishment. Medicine doesn’t know what causes it, and now they come up with this nonsense. Does anybody take this seriously? All of this nonsense is a result of people in all organizations who are practicing job security because there’s too much fat in them and these excess workers have nothing to do but come up with this crap. It’s everywhere!

Thinking excessively about the dims, the deep state, the msm, and progressivism heightens the risk of Alzheimer's, too.

The actual medical cause of Alzheimers is unknown,, but there are associations that may correlate to occurence. Significant associations are found in age, gender, and genetics. But even these are not causal, any more than (since we have more cars on the road than in 1900, and we are living longer, cars must be increasing life span. So what we have here is another magic marker by bozo report, HHS not able to provide a cause but willing to shift blame. Artificial legs exist for people with failed legs, artificial hearts for those with failed hearts. It appears that artificial intelligence may be needed for the manifold brain failures at HHE

There is one way to end racism instantly. Some Pubbie should propose an Emergency End to Systemic Racism Bill beginning JAN 1 2023. Similar to government-issued free Covid tests, we will be supplied with government-issued free burkhas. Nobody will know who or what anybody is and in a flash, skin color or social identity will have no bearing on anything. El fin!
Sometimes you have to propose preposterous stuff to counter the preposterous stuff going on all around you.

OP, there is a fair amount of systemic racism in America. It’s the Democrat Party.
Founded by Andrew Jackson, a truly cruel slave owner and fake populist, best known for expansion of slavery and the Trail of Tears.
The Democrats went on to beat a man half to death in the Senate, then have an insurrection in the form of the Civil War to keep their slaves. They tricked poor white people jnto dying for them.
After they lost, the Democrats formed the KKK and put into place gun laws and other Jim Crow laws to keep blacks disarmed.
Things slowly were getting better for the former slaves of the Democrats, so Democrat Woodrow Wilson restarted the Klan and also started to target Jews and others for subjugation. Used WWI to dispose of uppity poor whites.
WWII threw a kink I their plans, but FDR did his best (with the NYT) to help Hitler until the Japanese messed up his plans.
Still, never ones to let a crisis go to waste, they used WWII and the Depression their policies caused to create an unaccountable fourth branch of government that could continue to push policies to protect the elite and keep blacks and others enslaved.
Then Johnson, with his “Great Society” entrapped blacks and others into bottomless cycle of economic slavery.
Still, they fight their way out, so now they import millions of brown slaves from South America. They’ll keep them down by not letting them learn English. And keep their wages down by never stopping the spigot of marginal workers. Democrats are economically illiterate, but the bosses know that endless supply keeps the cost down.
So there you are: actual institutional racism.

What the article failed to mention is racism also causes dandruff, bad breath, locusts, and flat tires.
PS...I hope those silver blankets can protect all those illegal aliens sneaking into the country from the much publicized upcoming winter storm coming this Christmas. Merry Christmas to everyone and see you in 2023.

This one of those you can't make this crap up moments.
I guess the best thing to do is relocate people of color to countries where people look like them in order to save them from on set of racist caused Alzheimer's.
We need to start with all the illegals and treat it like a medical emergency, no deportation trial, nothing, just get them out to safety ASAP!

When I read that title, I thought it was about blacks who were racist in their thinking and made such ruts in their brain with the same repeated thoughts...that they got Alzheimer's.

Tell it to my lily white sister in law who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s while in her mid fifties and now is in the end-stage of the disease.
If everything is racist, then nothing is racist. Voting for someone because of skin color is just as racist as voting against someone because of skin color.

Structural inequities? That sounds like an insult to me. The most famous Alzheimer's patient in the country right now is lilly-white and has never even played a black person on TV.

White racism also causes - - - - a craving for menthol cigarettes, cheap wine, non-marital sex, pimpmobiles, shoplifting, gang membership, and an aversion to education.
So - - that explains everything.

What a crock of S. Another example of the deep state's complete contempt for the American citizen. Because of their elitist mindset that views the average citizen as nothing more than a monkey, they put out this crap. The gullible will believe it because they don't have any critical thinking skills and because it comes from a government agency.

Perhaps it might be the Blacks living in the US are not equipped to endure the climate and diet and need to go back to the land of their roots where they will flourish. We did set up a country for them way back, called Liberia, but apparently they liked it better here. So it was their choice and they need to shut up and live with it.

They drink too much, they smoke too much, they do dangerous drugs, they do not eat right, they do not exercise. Those things are their responsibility.
Research shows that older Latinos are about one-and-a-half times as likely as older whites to have Alzheimer’s and other dementias, while older African-Americans are about twice as likely to have the disease as older whites. The reason for these differences is not well understood, but researchers believe that higher rates of vascular disease in these groups may also put them at greater risk for developing Alzheimer’s.

I was watching Greg Gutfeld last night. He had on this black woman I didn't know-- she wasn't a comedian, I don't think, but she kept me laughing so much. He started the show with the Stanford word list and this woman just had me laughing so much- she, as a satire, made everything about race and misogyny, et.c. It was a great show.

There is no systemic racism in America. That is a hoax being pushed by Democrat politicians… if America is so systemically racist why is every race in the world fighting to come into this country?!! For example…America has or had a black US President, US Vice President, Presidential cabinet members, US Senators, US Congressman, Supreme court justices, Governors, Mayors, Police Commissioners, Fire Commissioners, Circuit Court Judges, District Court Judges, Attorneys, Surgeons, Doctors, Astronauts, Generals, Admirals, CEOs, Sports stars, and millions upon millions of small business owners, etc., etc., etc. There is no systemic racism!
