WAPO: White mortality rate now linked to support for GOP presidential candidate Trump
[WAPO] White women have been dying prematurely at higher rates since the turn of this century, passing away in their 30s, 40s and 50s in a slow-motion crisis driven by decaying health in small-town America, according to an analysis of national health and mortality statistics by The Washington Post.

Among African Americans, Hispanics and even the oldest white Americans, death rates have continued to fall. But for white women in what should be the prime of their lives, death rates have spiked upward. In one of the hardest-hit groups -- rural white women in their late 40s -- the death rate has risen by 30 percent.

#1  Due to increased use rate of meth?
Posted by: Glenmore || 04/11/2016 10:13 Comments || Top||

#2  Auto accidents.
As ladies entered the workforce and now that rural employees are commuting farther for work, there are more highway deaths among the working class. Something like 50k/yr.
Only the popular social meme causes are mentioned of course.

#3  Well, Wiki says closer to 30k.
Posted by: Skidmark || 04/11/2016 10:42 Comments || Top||

#4  In the end, all the ills and tragedies of society should be blamed on Global Warming, White Privilege, and Republicans. Why can no one see it ?
Posted by: Besoeker || 04/11/2016 10:42 Comments || Top||

#5  Mostly blind drunk and smoking.
Other contributive causes to early deaths.
Posted by: Skidmark || 04/11/2016 10:46 Comments || Top||

#6  The same factors that led lower class whites to depression and high mortality/suicide rate led them to Trump. I thought that was obvious.

#7  This reversal may be fueling anger among white voters:

Not the reversal itself but the conditions that led to the reversal, WAPO morons.

#8  Speaking as a rural person: we live harder in places that are harder to live.

#9  Glenmore, I'm sure what the overall trend is, but I look around this town and see way too many young women just ruined. I'm sure their kids do not have a chance, especially young lungs with haz-mat level house air, then the lack of food, hygiene, household maintenance, a whole cascade.

The lucky kids get raised by grandma, which of course is a lot of stress on grandma.

I wouldn't call it then, decaying health, but decaying lifestyle. I'd say there are the traditional losers who work odd jobs in between binges, and then the locusts - city people find a house for rent cheap and gather as many locusts as can possibly fit in said rental, they then supplement their government money by theft and/or selling. Boom, don't have to work, just have to make sure they don't run out of product, oh and change the diapers if someone thinks about it.

#10  It must somehow be George Bush's fault - agreed?

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Islam is Colonialism, Palestine is Colonialism
At Israeli Apartheid Week, campus haters claim to be fighting "colonialism" by fighting Jews. Columbia University’s Center for Palestine Studies, dedicated to a country that doesn’t exist and which has produced nothing worth studying except terrorism, features diatribes such as Palestine Re-Covered: Reading a Settler Colonial Landscape". This word salad is a toxic stew of historical revisionism being used to justify the Muslim settler colonization of the indigenous Jewish population.
You can’t colonize Palestine because you can't colonize colonizers. The Muslim population in Israel is a foreign colonist population. The indigenous Jewish population can resettle its own country, but it can’t colonize it.

Muslims invaded, conquered and settled Israel. They forced their language and laws on the population. That's the definition of colonialism. You can't colonize and then complain that you're being colonized when the natives take back the power that you stole from them.

There are Muslims in Israel for the same reason that there are Muslims in India. They are the remnants of a Muslim colonial regime that displaced and oppressed the indigenous non-Muslim population.

There are no serious historical arguments to be made against any of this.

The Muslim conquests and invasions are well-documented. The Muslim settlements fit every historical template of colonialism complete with importing a foreign population and social system that was imposed on the native population. Until they began losing wars to the indigenous Jewish population, the Muslim settlers were not ashamed of their colonial past, they gloried in it. Their historical legacy was based on seizing indigenous sites, appropriating them and renaming them after the new conquerors.

#1  But that's History.

#2  If this talk of history was run by vegetarian women rather than flesh-eating men, this whole Israeli disaster would never have happened. You know right now, we're working to raise the consciousness of the vegetarian minorities with diet sensitivity training, so that people will be able to deal foul past.

#3  Islam is colonising Cyprus right now (occupier - Turkey)

It is colonising West Papua (occupier - Indonesia)

It is trying to take territory in the southern Philippines, Nigeria and Europe
