This week in places Black people shouldn’t be: South Carolina

I haven’t the pleasuare to visit South Carolina yet but I’m thinking maybe I should just put an X next to that on my travel map.

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) – A new study shows black people in South Carolina are more likely to die from cancer than white people.

Whether it’s lack of proper healthcare, genetics, or just a pure coincidence, Dr. James Hebert and his research staff say that once a patient has been diagnosed with any type of cancer, they are more likely to die if they are black.

“If you are black and you live in South Carolina, you are at an extremely higher risk of dying from cancer. Can I answer the question what’s driving this? Not definitely,” said Dr. Hebert.

I knew it. I KNEW IT! CANCER IS RACIST. Overproduction of WHITE blood cells. Uh huh. EVEN WITH A BLACK PRESIDENT! 

Okay, im done now.

Oh, and yes, that IS a cancer cell with a Klan mask on. And yes. I had to make it.  And yes, I enjoyed that a great deal. I named the graphic “KKCancer.jpg.”
