"Researchers have found a disturbing trend while examining life expectancy in the United States, as the least educated white Americans have actually seen a massive drop in number of years that they live. The most shocking decline was in white women without a high school diploma, who "lost five years of life between 1990 and 2008, an almost unheard of decline. For example, one of the biggest life expectancy declines ever seen was among Russian men who lost an average of seven years after the fall of the Soviet Union, according to The New York Times.
The new study, by the University of Illinois at Chicago, specifically compared groups by their level of education, as the amount of schooling one has tends to predict other health issues as well. Less educated people are more likely to smoke, be obese, abuse drugs, and (most importantly) lack health insurance. The gap between life expectancy for white women with a college degree and those without a high school diploma is more than 10 years. For men, it's 13 years." [Source]
Things have gotten so bad for white folks that it left Mitt lamenting the fact that if were a Latino he would have a better chance of winning the White House. Heck Mitt is so disgusted with the disadvantages of his whiteness that he tried to darken his skin a little bit. Hey if you can't beat em...
Now I see where all this anger towards the beige guy occupying the people's house comes from. I bet that some of the white folks who read that study blame Obama for their shortened life span. (I am serious. You did read the part where it said the less educated, right?)
Is it any wonder, as Chris Rock tweeted, that the leader of the free world has to prove that he was actually born in the country where a majority of the people elected him to be their president?
"A Texas man who hung a chair from a tree on his front lawn — in an apparent rebuff of President Obama and nod to Clint Eastwood — has taken down the display after offended locals associated it with the lynching of blacks.
Austin homeowner Bud Johnson, 73, said he removed the stupefying sight Thursday because of a misconception.
“I decided to make the change because some people are stupid,”
Poor Bud is 73. I think that study had folks like Bud in mind.

Gee, you think 40 years of telling white people they are evil, portaying them as such in media, telling them they are going extinct (and deserve too), denying them entrance into colleges to make way for privileged groups, and limiting employment opportunities in order to advance privileged groups might have had a negative effect on white people?
Maybe they have a point in not wanting to reelect a President who has accelerated the process of elevating everyone else's interests even further above theirs.
But the demands for more will never cease. Because when it comes to sticking it to the white man, enough will never be enough.
You poor, poor white man.

It never ceases to amaze me how some of my peeps want to do the same to Whites as was done to them.
One would think Blacks of all people, would not want this and would model such. Instead, some Blacks just want revenge, which will only perpetuate racial separation and hatred.
Field, you need to kick some these black racist trolls off because they are part of the problem, not the solution. They think like trailer park white folks. Now if you are Black and you think that way, that is about as ugly as you can get!
I wonder why they didn't compare educated to non educated Blacks and list the percentages by race for a clearer view? What is it less than 47% nationwide (hey look at that number) of Blacks now graduate HS with some states as low as 28% graduation rate like Philly and New York.

This is funny. I would imagine it has to actually physically hurt a person to be this level of stupid.
Well what else has the Huff post and media matters got.
Hey didn't the Huffpost also accuse Hillary of making Obama's pictures look darker so he would seem more menacing? Yeah, that level of stupidity has just got to hurt.
"Hey didn't the Huffpost also accuse Hillary of making Obama's pictures look darker so he would seem more menacing? Yeah, that level of stupidity has just got to hurt."
Are there any FN Negroes with a kind word? Why are my peeps so damn mean? Please learn to be kind to your white brothers and sisters. Hillary has not hurt anybody.
In fact, she accepted a job to save Obama's ass. And that's all the BS Obama threw at her during his campaign against her for the Dem nomination.
My peeps can be so mean. I even wonder if my folks even know what it feels like to love or be loved. It's hard to love someone who acts unlovable.

Field, Whites lives were much longer BEFORE Obama came along. It just goes to show what can happen when you put an unqualified Negro in the WH. Whites reap bad Karma....Shit happens to them in no time at all.
I read somewhere that Blacks were proficient in Voo-doo and Obama had some connections with Voodoo Jamaican Kings and Louisiana Queens who could shorten the lives of people.
Well, Mr Field, that study proves it. I wouldn't be surprised if the witch Dr Reine and old witch doctor Granny had something to do with this. I hope a good lawyer will use this factual reseach to throw them in prison. You didn't have anything to do with this did you? That is a lot of white folks dying early and something really needs to be done before it gets worse.
Where is the depressed negro when the Field needs him?

Yes, it must be a horrible insult to know you are in the worst shape ever in your life and that someone you push is causing it, yet you want more of it, just knowing it will be better this time because he told you the other guy can't be like you, he has money. Um-hmmmm. So you want to be like the guy who also has money but caused you not to.
You shouldn't be insulted, you should be ashamed.
Field, "Co- sign with PC, you are not my "peeps". My "peeps" are loving people."
Both of you are wrong as two left shoes and it is very depressing.
By your denial of a brother's Negro l identity, YOU and PC are being mean-spirited and spiteful.
As I have said before and will continue to say, "It's depressing to be Black in America".
PS. Blacks in the UK should be banned from FN. They are weird and can't relate. They are nothing but fake Negroes who talk strange British ebonics.
I can't take this shit today. You two are bringing me down....you have totally eff'd up my weekend. I am going to have my two glasses of wine and going back to bed. I hope you mean-ass unloving Negroes are happy now.

Leave it field to mis-read information about blacks and whites when the information includes comparisons based on statistics. The abstract from the study states:
It has long been known that despite well-documented improvements in longevity for most Americans, alarming disparities persist among racial groups and between the well-educated and those with less education.
In this article we update estimates of the impact of race and education on past and present life expectancy, examine trends in disparities from 1990 through 2008, and place observed disparities in the context of a rapidly aging society that is emerging at a time of optimism about the next revolution in longevity.
We found that in 2008 US adult men and women with fewer than twelve years of education had life expectancies not much better than those of all adults in the 1950s and 1960s.
When race and education are combined, the disparity is even more striking.
In 2008 white US men and women with 16 years or more of schooling had life expectancies far greater than black Americans with fewer than 12 years of education—14.2 years more for white men than black men, and 10.3 years more for white women than black women.
These gaps have widened over time and have led to at least two “Americas,” if not multiple others, in terms of life expectancy, demarcated by level of education and racial-group membership.
The message for policy makers is clear: implement educational enhancements at young, middle, and older ages for people of all races, to reduce the large gap in health and longevity that persists today.
The article willfully neglects the connection between low levels of education among blacks and the likelihood they'll end up murdered.
Murder in the US peaked in 1990, the year this goofy study claims as a starting point.
The number of killings has gone down dramatically since then, enough to have a statistically significant on black life-span calculations.
More blacks are alive to live till a normal age, thereby lifting the average, rather than getting shot to death at 20, thereby lowering the average life span.
White women? Who knows what the true story is? The NY Times will always find a way to skew the interpretation of data when it's possible to disparage whites.

counting on my fingers and toes, thank you for your in-depth analysis and correcting what mr field posted. i had a hunch that his post was skewed toward blacks and away from whites.
fn just can't be trusted, anymore. but then again, the blogger is a liberal leftist criminal lawyer....i have heard from straight conservative prosecuters that leftist defense lawyers 'naturally' lie.
many thanks for your comments. if you weren't here, we would 'never' know the truth!

“Gay guys are the horniest people in the world. They’re disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS.”
When it comes to explaining the worsening life spans for white women, the most likely culprit is the one that's been nailing black women for years -- eating every french fry, Big Mac and gallon of ice cream for miles and becoming huge tubs of lard with hearts that burst from struggling to push blood through those huge quivering masses of walrus blubber.
Never has it cost so little to eat so much. Forty years ago if you were poor you spent your money wisely at the food store. Now, with free food for the least among us, the only way to know how big these people have gotten is to weigh them at a truck stop.
You gotta worry when you get on an elevator, where there's always a sign stating the maximum weight it can lift. When you look around, if you can, and see yourself surrounded by whales, and the elevator groans as the motor turns and the cable lifts, you think, Jesus, is this thing going to make it?
Everyday I run into obese panhandlers on the subway. They should be begging for someone to send them to Weight Watchers. Instead, they promise they won't commit any crimes against old ladies if subway riders are good enough to cough up a little spare change.
Lat year Mitt Romney gave $4 million to charity, to fund outreach projects, to help the less fortunate.
He felt compelled to do this because the president had created so much hardship with his job-killing, retarded ideas about the economy.
Regarding Chris Rock's comments and "birthers." Rock should do a little research before misstating facts regarding the assertion that President Obama is the only president whose status as a natural born American has been questioned and that the only reason for questioning his birth certificate is that he's Black. Rock is wrong about two things regarding this controversy and Obama. First point, Obama is not Black, he's bi-racial. Second point: If Rock had bothered to do a little investigation he would have discovered that President Chester Arthur, the 21st President, was accused of not being a natural born American as his father was from Ireland. When that couldn't be proved, the critics claimed he was actually born in Canada. I guess they chose Canada because the Arthur family lived for a while in Vermont. For those of you geographically challenged FN readers, Vermont is very close to Canada.
Rock is like a lot of liberal Hollywood types on politics. They have a platform and receive attention because of their fame, but quite often don't know what the hell they speak of.
Have whatever opinion you want Chris, please just get your facts right!
The way Rock goes on about political issues, knowledgeable people are forced to wonder if he were born yesterday.
He's funny on topics about blacks and how they relate or don't relate to whites.
But American politics is over his head. That's okay. The troubling part is the way the blind follow the blind. Not that it's ever been any other way.
However, on one point Obama stands alone and unchallenged. No other president has ever had a mother named Stanley.
Stanley Anne Dunham. You've got to wonder which affected him more: his mother's anger at being named Stanley? Or his immersion in Islam while living in Indonesia during his most formative years?

Finding out his Marxist mentor was his father and that he was probably conceived during a S+M porn photo shoot with his dad, might have had a tad of an impact.

Sure does. It highlights the ridiculously low standards affirmative action educations have brought us.
"The vulnerabilities of angry white men's (and others') identities are
due in part to the threats of criminal violence and structural violence, but
an equal if not greater cause is the cultural violence of the socialization
process, whereby their identity as American men is constituted through
the exclusions of important parts of their selves, together with impositions of contents that have little or no basis in their selves, resulting
frequently in identities that need to enact some form of violence in order
to maintain themselves."

We've got food stamps. So it looks like cigarette stamps are next up.
State-funded study: Cigarette tax hurts New York’s poor most
09/22/2012
By Jessica Stanton
A study conducted on behalf of the New York State Department of Health has revealed that cigarette taxes hurt the poorest New Yorkers the most.
Low-income smokers, defined as individuals in households making less than $30,000 a year, spent an average of 23.6 percent of the annual household income on cigarettes.
That number is up from 11.6 percent in 2003-2004 and in spite of increasing cigarette taxes imposed by the state and city governments.
By comparison, smokers in households making over $60,000 a year, spent an average of 2.2 percent of their household income on cigarettes.
At $4.35 per pack of 20, New York has the highest state cigarette tax in the country. But the tax on a pack can cost up to $6.46 in the state, when combined with the $0.61 state sales tax and additional city excise tax. New York City, for instance, tacks on $1.50 per pack.
The prevalence of smoking is directly correlated with income level, the study found. 24.3 percent of low-income New Yorkers smoke some days or most days.
The study shows no decline in smoking among low-income smokers, despite tax increases since 2003, meaning that the poor bear a disproportionate tax burden.
“This is such a shockingly high proportionate of their income,” said Dr. Matthew Farrelly, the study’s author, in a phone interview with The Daily Caller. “And yet at the same time, New York has cut funding for tobacco control programs by half.”
Farrelly firmly believes that tobacco control programs are effective in helping smokers quit, and he reiterated the study’s conclusion that more revenue from excise taxes should be used to fund these programs.

After reviewing their Friday afternoon "executive summay" dump, it seems to me that the most telling indicator of the current state of Rawmoney's campaign is that after 2 solid weeks of bleeding from self inflicted wounds, now he's trying to change the subject back to what he's hiding in his tax returns.
How did they ever think they were going to sell a guy that even Republiklans themselves can't stand to the rest of the country?
Nov 7th we're going to see the mother of all wingnutt conniption fits when their alternate-reality bubble bursts. Rawmoney leaves both sides in the GOP with plenty of ammo for the coming fight: the knuckle-draggers can point to a Massachusetts moderate as their antithesis, and the suits can point out that he had to swallow and spout the extremist line, and lost the chance to run on his centrist record.

The polls put the election odds at 50-50. In the presidential race, it's a dead heat.
But there's a lot more going on than just a presidential race.
The senate majority may swing to the Republican side, and the house is likely to remain in Republican hands.
So, IF Obama wins -- this is a hypothetical scenario -- he might find himself the lamest of lame duck presidents. He'll be powerless.
Even if the Senate remains a stronghold of Democrats, Obama is facing a second term as the weakest of weak presidents.
If Romney wins, the US economy will get the jump-start of all jump-starts.
If Romney wins and Republicans take the Senate, the country will start growing at rates that might excite China.

Yeah, there's the swing states all going Obama's way by nearly double digits, and there are all of the senate races, where Democrats currently lead in 52 races, and while I don't think that the Democrats will retake the house, they might get within 4-5 seats making a lockstep Rebubliklan caucus problematic, but still possible.

By Pesky facts, you must mean liberal lies. Why is that always the case? Anywhoo, Even Obama's campaign manager Messina agrees with you..he said ignore those national polls that say there is a tie, we are winning....uh-huh...sure you are bubba, nothing you are worried about sure....uh-huh

I see that the new republicant "polling" ploy, rescoring public polls by double of each poll's margin of error in favor of robme and presenting it as factual data. It seems appropriate for fictional candidate running a fictional campaign on fictional issues;: fictional polls to buck up the fictional morale in the klan base.
I'm as certain that this bit of theater will convince everyone who already thought that there was a pro-Obama public polling conspiracy as I am that it'll have no other impact on the electorate.
