Black Americans are often viewed as an internal third world colony in the U.S.

Certain health disparities between Central Harlem and the rest of New York City can be attributed to 'avoidable causes' such as substandard housing quality, poverty, and law enforcement violence – all of which are issues identified by the American Public Health Association as key social determinants of health. These deaths that can be attributed to avoidable causes are known as "avertable deaths" of "excess mortality'"in public health, or more commonly referred to as "structural racism."

Redlining/lousy housing, overcrowding, food deserts, police killings, Covid, lack of hospitals, high infant mortality rates, Black men disproportionately in prison for jobs for uneducated white men (in Amerikkka prison doctors are usually unlicensed and fired from other facilities), pollution/highways/garbage facilities, there are so many reasons Black people in the U.S. die significantly before whites.

I know race is not the main determinant of health and life expectancy in the UK but it is in the U.S. (reddit.com/r/europe/com…),
