Tbh, when it comes to Black people lately, we're losing them before 70 in the North and the South. It's like if you weren't born somewhere by the mid 50's, your chances of getting out your 60's seem to have shortened, if you haven't started livng an almost squeaky clean life. This is what I've notice from people in the DMV. Down here in Atlanta, I'm not close to alot of people, but it's probably not that much different. Then again, it's probably worst. If Black people have limited power in positions in the South, and more Blacks live there, and the number keeps growing, however the South have a higher mortality rate, then that's telling. Perhaps that really does need to be investigated. Sounds like somebody is getting away with murder.
Meanwhile my hometown in the DMV, alot people I grew up with had something major happen, like a stroke or a heart attack in there 50's or 60's, all though alot of it was do to lifestyle, or poor eating habits.
Anyway, these kinda maps never give the true picture when it comes to African-Americans. Everybody knows we have a higher mortality rate.
