Oh no, it's all our fault! Perhaps it's even my fault personally. How will I sleep tonight?

WHITES BLAMED FOR HIGHER BLACK ALZHEIMER RATES
In yet another open display of anti-white hatred, a Professor of Sociology at the University of Georgia, Athens, US, has led a new published paper blaming higher rates of Alzheimer’s in blacks on “white racism.”
In a paper titled “Racial discrimination during middle age predicts higher serum phosphorylated tau and neurofilament light chain levels a decade later: A study of aging black Americans,” (Alzheimer's & Dementia, the Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, 2024; 1-10) Ronald Simons and his colleagues concluded that *“exposure to the stress of racism may increase the risk of dementia for Black Americans.”*
“......exposure to various forms of racial discrimination during a person's 40s and early 50s predicts an 11-year increase in both serum p-tau181 (: serum phosphorylated tau181) and NfL” (neurofilament light).
This is, says Simons - who clearly shares the anti-white obsession of so many in his pseudoscience - because “Black Americans are members of a racialized group. Based on skin color, hair texture, and facial features, they are subject to negative stereotypes, patronization, exclusion, harassment, and other forms of racial mistreatment.”
In other words, “white racism” is to blame for higher levels of Alzheimer’s in blacks.
This vicious anti-white blood libel hatred flies, of course, in the face of all scientific facts.
The Alzheimer’s Association, which published the article, specifically lists the causes of Alzheimer’s as the following:
• Age: “The greatest known risk factor for Alzheimer’s and other dementias is increasing age.”
• Family history: “Another strong risk factor is family history. Those who have a parent, brother or sister with Alzheimer’s are more likely to develop the disease. The risk increases if more than one family member has the illness.”
• Genetics (heredity): “Scientists know genes are involved in Alzheimer’s. Two categories of genes influence whether a person develops a disease: risk genes and deterministic genes. Alzheimer's genes have been found in both categories.”
• Other risk factors: “Head injury,” “Heart-head connection,” and “Overall healthy aging.”
The Alzheimer’s Association adds, under its “other risk factors”, the following note:
“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.”
If you remember my opening question: Like a log! Every Single Time.
