Black girls + marijuana = dangerous sex
August 6th, 2008The study did not look into the behavior of young White females.

Black girls who smoke pot are far more likely to take sexual risks and to contract sexually transmitted diseases than non-weed-smokers, according to a new study that examines the behavior of young African-American females. Girls who took marijuana had significantly higher rates of STDs than non-marijuana users (32 percent compared to 23 percent), Emory University researchers found after studying marijuana use and self-reported sexual behavior of 439 sexually active African-American females between the ages of 15 and 21. Marijuana users also had more sex partners, riskier sex partners, including a partner just released from jail, and more recent episodes of engaging in vaginal sex, compared to those who did not use marijuana, the study found. “While adolescent African-American females remain a high-risk group for STDs, little research has examined their marijuana use, sexual behaviors and incidence of STD infection,” said study co-author Ralph DiClemente, professor of public health at Emory’s Rollins School of Public Health. “Although no differences in condom use were identified between marijuana users and non-users, results suggest that marijuana users are engaging in sexual acts with riskier partners and under riskier circumstances, and had higher rates of STDs,” DiClemente said. DiClemente and his team did not compare the behavior of Black girls’ using marijuana against White girls or girls of other ethnic groups. However, they recommend STD- and HIV-intervention programs designed for adolescent African-American females that promote condom use as well as emphasize the risks of drug use and STD and HIV infection. These findings are being presented at the International AIDS Conference meeting now in Mexico City.

WHOEVER THIS JOKER IS THAT CAME UP WITH THIS CONCLUSION MUST NOT HAVE ANYTHING BETTER TO RESEARCH SUCH AS AIDS, CANCER ETC.
ALL YOUNG WOMEN (BLACK, WHITE, HISPANIC ETC), ARE AT RISK WHEN THEY ARE SEXUALLY ACTIVE THEY WAY THAT THEY ARE WHETHER THEY ARE SMOKING MARIJAUNA OR NOT.

Personally I don’t care about wite women. We need to have more knowledge about ourselves. We’re always complaining about nobody pays us attention, then when we get some information, and everyone seems to be mad about it. Do you really think that a test about what white people do is going to help us better ourselves?
That is why we have so may people commenting on negative articles. You think if they wrote about cancer or economy anybody would bother to read leave alone to comment on it.
Love yourself and your neighbor whether black, orange,pink or whoever so long he or she is a human being and try to be individualistic always.
they know black women are strong, which is why they r doing such a topic, they know its all white women that like to get high with black men.
white women+lblack man= easy target and slut
black women+ black man = black respect , true love
I think this is a idiotic study…a waste of money/time. Obviously, if you’re doing something illegal (pot/crack), you’re going to be with shady people or will be willing to do shady things. The reason they only studied African American women could be because the HIV/AIDS epidemic is worse in the Black communities than any other ethic divisions.
We as blacks need to worry about ourselves more and not get so offensive about certain topics. It is true our communities are riddled with high rates of crime. We know whites use drugs more, but lets concentrate more on ourselves and our families. If we put our energy into those areas, rather than get upset every time something comes out that you dont like. As a black man I see how our young black girls carry themselves. Some where along the way we stop teaching them how to be confident young women.
CHIKE, LALA, I totally agree. In a majority the studies done on chronic and social diseases, Blacks always top the list. That’s because the majority of them are biased and opinionated. How often do whites top the list when the impact is negative? They (Whites) still want to believe they are the superior race and the majority . Well, not in America, not anymore. Actually they were never superior; well, maybe when it comes to being self-serving. As far as being the majority, obsolete. I heard a white comedian say that it’s wrong for Blacks to claim Barak Obama, Halle Berry, Tiger Woods because they are mixed. News flash, moron, all blacks are mixed. Whites are so jealous of our color which is our natural beauty. It’s something that we have that they can only achieve by mixing with us because white is not a color (look it up if you don’t believe me). And because more and more Whites (mainly child bearing females) are mixing with Blacks, they (Whites) will soon become the minority. So they continue to promote this type of bigotry and prey on the ignorant, the weak, and the gullible.
I know how they do these studies.They will only count the white girls that are a nuisance to the community while studing the black girls (women) no matter how high position they are in. I tell my students all of the time what you see on BET, MTV, VH1 and the other television stations they watch do not have to protray black people as thugs and bitches, but they do to keep the black people down. They need to start showing the real black people who has actually stepped out of that hood “lavish” lifestyle and has stepped into a professional and educational background. Show these kids that easy money will lead you to no money FAST and stepping out of the box does not hurt any one.
i think thats a bunch of bull cause there are non smokers that get more std’s than me and i havent had one yet and im smokin rite now.
and really i WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHERE THIS SURVEY WAS TAKIN AND Y THEY DONT THINK THAT THIS ARTICLE IS A LITTLE BIASED
To lynn; U R definitely right about those GARBAGE HEAD WHITE GIRLS.
It’s some white girls out there who will do some strange things to get high…ON WHAT EVER U GOT. I MEET ONE AS SOON AS I GOT TO GA.
Ain’t no sista like that…I think most sistas usually have their minds made and just like what they like.BUT PEOPLE…ALL OF US …LET’S DO BETTER AND TAKE BETTER CARE OF OURSELVES.
This study is BS if your going to do a study like this dont single out a specific race of females. Make the study more general, cause all females are the same weather they are black or white. And second what is the point caue Iam sure the use of liquor has contribute to more STDs in the the world then any other drug..
UMLAW:
the authority on the black community rides again. why don’t you write a book about the “ill’s” of the black community since you are the self-proclaimed expert. that way we can have the benefit of all or your African American wisdom in one place…and give it the attention that it deserves! admit it UMLAW, you are obsessed with BLACK community, aren’t you… you never miss the opportunity to debate and debase us on these BET blogs…admit it you really love us don’t you…you can’t get enough of us…can you…you want to be us….don’t you??????
seschris:
I never said i’m the authority on the black community. I’m more of the voice that rebuts many of the biased/ignorant/racist opinions written on here by members of the black and white communities. You never miss the opportunity to voice your opinions on here also (i have the same right to speak as you do). You almost never speak out against the crimes/wrongs that members of the black community commit. You usually blame some other entity (i.e. US gov’t). I just brought up a reason why the study may have picked Black girls to do a study on. That’s it.
If this report is true, I feel it is a sad thing, Red, Yellow, Black or White, the race doesn’t matter. Since it is on blacks, wake up young black ladies let’s take better care of ourselves. Do Not allow yourselves to be used by anyone like this. Please be more protective of your bodies, your families, you are all loved, by GOD and others just like me!!!!!!! Your body is your TEMPLE, love it and take better care of it. If no one has told you today MY SISTER and MY BROTHER that you are loved (especially with out wanting something in return) “I LOVE YOU MY SISTER, I LOVE YOU MY BROTHER more importantly ‘GOD’ LOVES YOU THE MOST.’ First of all LOVE YOUR SELF.
Why does it always have to be about black people. I guess their not talking about white people because they are strung out on more powerful drugs like heroine, PCP, and LSD’s. Why don’t the media just leave black people alone for awhile. It never gets old. Why don’t they find something more serious to talk about like these crime rates.
*I am not racist*
I just speak the truth
LoL u blacks are so insecure n never take responsibitly for anything n u alwaz ask well how come whites this n that, thats exactly why blacks will never in the history of the world be on top right there, just read the comments in this room. Stop sleeping around oh wait the white man makes black women sleep around my bad lol GET OVER URSELFS
I agree lets use this info to help ourselves and notworry about white girls and what they do. They will watch out for themselves we better start doing the same.
