OK a few things here:

1. Why do we have to single out the Black community? Because they are the fastest rising group of HIV cases (Black women to be exact). We are singeling them out because there is an active effort on the part of many church leaders and entertainers to either deny the problem exists or to make Blacks believe its only happening to gay men. A prime example of the Black Community refusing to do anything about eithe the problem or its underlying issues is this year the Black star of Grey's Anatomy called one of his co-stars a f*agget. What happened? He apologized and the NAACP gave him an award. WTF????? How many awards or gigs has Michael Richards gotten lately? The undercurrennt of hate towards homosexuals (and the resulting "downlow" behaviour) in the Black community is only helping this disease.

Black people don't seem to be really paying attention to anything except pointing out to racism from white people rather than looking at the huge drop out rate, gang problem, and the rate of HIV. They don't want to look at their problems for some reason. Maybe some feel if they talk about getting it together they will feel they are admitting there is a huge breakdown among so many of their people. I think you are going to need some kind of general American leadership that cares about this.

I do not know the cause of the high HIV rate. Are black people more likely to be promiscuous and to have many sexual partners than their Caucasian and Asian counterparts? That might be the case. White America does not really care about this. Their own leaders are the ones who need to care because the white leadership would pay somewhat attention to a high rate among whites. Martin Luther King j.r. fought against desegration. Well, more African Americans are being harmed percentage wise than they were in the past. They need their defenders.

I don't think people should laugh at the death of any people regardless of their sexual life-style or if they took drugs.

Here are the stats of risk of contracting HIV for various acts.

Let's not start in on this again. I've addressed the issues Blacks are facing and it has nothing to do with which sex is more dangerous. Let's focus on the issues here people.

I disagree Octavious.

Like I said something is not adding up.



50% of AIDS cases in America are from the African American population which only represent about 13% of the total population.

Now look at the meathods by which the HIV virus is transmitted.


I think the sharing of needles is a huge problem especially in the inner cities.

But the other major factor is through anal sex followed by penial-vaginal intercourse. So if you take away needle sharing, basically it adds up to homosexual sex (anal) and likely bisexual sex (dudes who have sex with men and then go on to have sex with a female).

Basically if the odds of contracting HIV from a female are so low then where are all these black men contracting the virus from?


This poses some interesting questions. Now I'm not saying that the black race (bad word I know) has a higher degree of homosexual and bisexual activity (although I'm not discounting that).

However, I think it likely has more to do with a lack of education and possibly that within the black community it's more acceptable to be promiscuous and to have many sexual partners.

Now before I get attacked for this last comment, let's take a look at the number of single mothers within the black community. It's a serious probem.

And poverty can explain a lot of this but you can't deny the cultural factors behind this as well.

As I said in an earlier post one of the most signifcant issue is the homosexuality issue. It's not that there's more homosexuals (there's no proof to back that up and most HIV in Africa is driectly related to heterosexual sex) its that more Black men go to prison than Whites (in respect to populations size) and the "downlow" syndrome.
