GOP state senator blames BBQ for black health problems (1328 hits)
Colorado Republican state senator Vicki Marble is being criticized for her recent remarks on the health issues affecting African-Americans and her reasons for what may contribute to them.
“When you look at life expectancy, there are problems in the black race,” Marble said. “Sickle-cell anemia is something that comes up. Diabetes is something that’s prevalent in the genetic makeup, and you just can’t help it.”
