Blacks & HIV: Who’s Really To Blame?

Even though Blacks account for 14 percent of the population, they make up more than half of all new HIV infections.

Why?
After all these years, after all the studies, after all the PSAs, after all the information, it seems that we need to do a better job coming to terms with ourselves and why our community is still at risk.

More people need to use condoms more often (in casual, at-risk and long-term relationships)

More people need to be tested more often.

More people need to begin treatment immediately if they test positive.

Experts have even commented that many have difficulty embracing the concept of delayed gratification, which often leads to making riskier, more dangerous, and irresponsible choices.

However, changes in sexual behavior may only be part of the solution. Today’s HIV messages seem to insinuate that the reason blacks are still dealing with high HIV infection rates is because of sexual irresponsibility.

The Other Why’s…
As many policy makers are slowly realizing, behavior alone isn’t solely responsible for the current HIV crisis. The other factors include:

• Poverty
• Lower health literacy
• Drug use (particularly intravenous)
• Economic instability
• Poor access to health care
• Untreated STDs (which make people more vulnerable to contracting HIV)
• Mistrust in the medical system
• Gender inequality
• Homophobia
• Incarceration

This said, there’s a danger in linking HIV/AIDS to issues like the above, many of which stem from institutionalize racism and other issues that simply cannot and will not be reversed overnight.

But…it’s still important to realize that they do exist. And perhaps, with realization, comes change. And with change comes the societal cures that we really need, so that the black community doesn’t continue to fall victim to  the health crises that, also, will not disappear overnight.

Detroit Limo Company Sends Racist Text To Black Woman

At age 25, Candis Doss (pictured), a black woman, says she has never experienced racism in her life. Well, there’s a first time for everything!

When Doss called a party limo bus rental to arrange a ride for her mom’s birthday, her call got dropped but what she received in return was a racist text message from the company, according to MyFox Detroit.

Doss was driving her car when she called the Detroit Limo Party Bus Company which she had found via a Craigslist booking agent. The young woman’s mom was celebrating a birthday and she had wanted to book a vehicle for a party. When Doss was inquiring about pricing for the stretch vehicles, her call suddenly dropped.


Not long after losing her connection, Doss received a text message that took her aback which stated the following:

“Why do black people always just hang up…Is it an inherited thing to be rude? or is it because you were slaves for so long?”

Doss expressed to Fox 2 News’ Amy Lange just how disappointed she was after encountering her first brush with racism. “It never happened to me, or somebody that was just close to me, where I could feel what they feel,” she said. “I feel what everybody feels now, I mean, it’s just like – when is it gonna stop?”

Fox 2 contacted the Detroit Limo Party Bus Company to see if they could get any answers as to how or why the text was sent to Doss. The company told the news outlet it would delve into the alleged matter further.

Meanwhile, something very good came out of Doss’ predicament: The Metro Party Bus company contacted the young woman and offered free transportation for her mom’s birthday celebration.
