Post subject: Black women more likely to have deadly breast cancer tumors

We brought up number of issues related to rather disturbing correlation between health problems and ethnic groups. A study finds that black women are four times more likely than white women to have a genetic mutation that makes their breast cancer more deadly.

That means nothing at all to me!!
