I agree. I took all day to ponder this. My new job is in the medical field and we help patients get medicine paid for that either they cannot afford or insurance does not cover.

Anyway I remembered back to when my brother had to have surgery a few years ago and the surgery was almost cancelled because when they did his blood work, they discovered that he had a low white blood count. Turns out that Black people have a lower white blood count than White people. Did you all know this?

So I am sure there are medicines out there that need to be manufactured or what not specifically for a Black person. Let's take Tylenol as an example. What if it was shown that Black people who take Tylenol are more at risk for heart damage but it did not have a risk in Whites? I would hope that there would be an alternative for Blacks that could stop the pain but not effect their hearts.

I am all for it. There are differences between Blacks and whites as well as men and women that medicine needs to address.
