HEALTH: Blacks in Louisiana Doing Poorly

March 23rd, 2009

When it comes to health, education and economics, Blacks in Louisiana are doing poorly, says a new study. Blacks face higher cancer mortality rates than their White counterparts, and are four times more likely to contract AIDS. And despite the poor  health outlook, Black people are twice as likely to be uninsured, according to the report.  “The prognosis for overall health of African Americans is grim,” the report says. Rep. Regina Barrow (D-Baton Rouge) said that the fact that a third of her state is African American, the glum statistics are even more alarming.  “If African Americans aren’t doing well, the state of Louisiana is not doing well. …The root cause (of the disparities) is poverty,” Barrow said. “It’s probably something dating back before slavery.” Sadly, she said, poverty is the root of most of the problems facing Blacks in Louisiana. “Lack of education leads to low-paying jobs, often without access to health care, thus the cycle of poverty begins and continues,” Advocacy.com reports. “Black people are three times more likely to experience poverty than their [W]hite counterparts. …Black people bring home only half the median income and per capita income of [W]hites. “Disparities in income … play huge roles in accounting for large gaps in wealth building (between the two races).”
