racial differences

If one discusses racial differences in the areas of intelligence, creativity, organizational ability, violence and ability to delay gratification, the forces of Political Correctness will attack and, in some places, prosecution might occur.

However there are numerous areas discussions and work is approved by Political Correctness, such as in the study and work described below.

It is also important to note, many African-“Americans’” problems are not Whites’ fault, as much of the media like to imply. If there is Holocaust denial, is there race denial?

Understanding hypertension in African Americans proves elusive

Researcher will continue to study how exercise can fight condition

Exercise cannot reduce a sodium-retaining hormone in African Americans known to potentially cause hypertension, found Michael D. Brown, Ph.D., the senior author of a study in the September issue of Experimental Physiology. Brown is an associate professor of kinesiology at Temple University’s College of Health Professions.

The hormone, aldosterone, influences the kidney’s regulation of blood pressure, but too much of it can contribute to the development of hypertension because it causes the kidney to retain salt. Aldosterone, released by the adrenal glands on top of the kidneys, plays a role in the complex system used by the body to regulate blood pressure.

“Although the results are discouraging for African Americans and hypertension, it’ll point us in other directions that may have more potential and could be the key to reducing hypertension,” said Brown, who has a background in exercise physiology
