Why does the African American community have the highest HIV/AIDS rate?

Ed - AIDS rates umong African Americans are higher than those of Ethiopia. Really, it rivals any African country.

Cause crackas went to africa to experiment on monkeys and blacks. So the same blacks that they experimented on had sex and spread it to him partner. More whites experimentedd on more black and etc.

Too much time on their hands, screwing around without condoms, just focusing on appearances and the famous "game and playaz" they always talk about.
They also have a huge rate of what they call "low down" or closet homosexuals, thinking they are all that.
Its very sad and dangerous because there are some very nice and caring black individuals, especially women who are victims of the so called game and lack of responsability.
Like in Africa women usually carry the load of raising a family and having to provide also for everybody including the dead weight playa.

Generations of racism have cumulated in many black families being isolated from white society and confined to slums, since they are refused jobs just because of their skin colour. They are given worse education, healthcare and family planning advice: thus, many of them are unaware of HIV's devastating effects and how easily it spreads. Some are forced into drug abuse by poverty; the sharing of infected needles also contributes to the spread of the virus.

Lack of awareness/poverty

But just because it's high risk among african americans doesn't mean your safe....everyone is ignorant when it comes to HIV/AIDS and needs to be informed, because it's not a homo/hetero/black disease it's a human disease, everyone is affected

I volunteered at a AIDS center (for hours for college).

I found out Spanish and African Americans have it the most and then whites......meaning it doesn't skip anyone based on race.

NOW I am only going by what I read!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* Black men and Spanish men are more likely to cheat on their love ones

* Women are more likely to get tested so they don't know much on the male side, but I have heard of men who knew they had AIDS (like my ex step dad's brother) and would sleep with women on purpose passing the disease.......this happens alot.

* Women are married and trust their man.........but he goes out and cheats and she never finds out

I read the above and it was from a center! These are not my own words.




*Also true AIDS was invented.

Not using condoms. Unawareness about HIV/AIDS.

You think it's bad here, you haven't seen nothing yet. Go over to Africa.

Edit: AIDS rate for us black americans higher than Africa? No, it can't be. That's impossible. Sure mayb ETHIOPIANS, but definitely not all of Africa.

Here are your stats:

Number of cases through 2007
Asian - 7,511
Hispanic - 169,138
Black - 426,003
White - 404,465

Total Black population - 40.9 million
Total Hispanic - 44.3 million
total White - 198.1 million

Because, your White ancestors build liquor stores and gun shops on every black corner, and deprived a ni99a, and kept him in the system.
So now, he becomes a gang-banger, and tries to pimp these ho*es.

.... POVERTY MIXED WITH UNEDUCATED FOLK CONTRIBUTE TO THAT,SAME REASON MOST PEDOPHILES ARE WHITE MALES.BEING UNEDUCATED IS VERY HARMFUL, THIS IS A MINORITY IN OUR COMMUNITY THOUGH ,I NEVER MET ANY ONE WITH AIDS.

because white slave owners passed it onto black people.

White man created HIV

Where are the statics? I wanna see some stats too!

I AGREE WITH BRANDOO!!!!
