It makes me wonder about the high incidences of cancer, leukemia and lupus in my mother's family. Folks want to say it's because black folks have unhealthy eating habits, but I don't think that's all it is. And, by the way, you are too nice to highlight what I wrote on my blog this morning.

She documents cases like that where black women are fighting large corporations that are poisoning their families. It makes me so angry to read that the EPA did not care about those people.
