Reply #14: abso-frickin'-lutely it's racially biased -- and class based as well

This is just a lie to claim that blacks die younger because they are killing themselves and if they would just stop with the gun violence already...

C'mon. We all know that diabetes and heart disease kills blacks at an earlier age. We know that many refineries and chemical plants are put in the black neighborhoods. We know that they are suffering asthma which leads to heart disease which leads to death at higher rates.

To raise retirement age to 70 is to deny retirement not just to blacks but to ALL groups of working class people. Working class groups like coal miners also have life expectancies in the 50s.

They want the folks who do the hard, dirty work of the world not to get one moment of rest.

Sickening.

"Whites" living to 75. What whites are these? I know plenty of white males dying in their 50s as usual.
