Colon cancer is racist

soul food , Southern cooking was are way of life also . Food is no longer home grown - loaded with chemicals. Smell your meats , ammonia or bleach all through it .

Right. Cancer better get with the narrative.

I'm surprised the devilish liberals and their media haven't yet called his death RACISM, because these days anything that happens to a fellow black is quickly branded racism.

He a great actor!

So racist

Colon cancer is racist and sexist.

Hollywoods normalized PEDs maybe that had a factor in his cancer growth and ferocity

The color wheel has many colors to choose from without experiencing racial tension or bias to what color it is,Black has garnard more attention for its makeup than any color on the wheel lately.Why does black hate white so much, It's because white and other colors blend well.

Male privilege

so cancer is racist as well now FFS this categorising of everyone and everything has to stop .... its out of control

Facts! Africans in Africa are healthier than Americans by 90%

I don’t buy this bullshit everything is directed to Black people! White people will never admit that they’re less healthy in the world than Black people.

healthy diet does not exist in america

Re-post by yet again. I guess God hates black people now. They're the highest rate of all diseases apparently. Black Jesus is not happy.

What a lie..

Can we get studies that separate Asians and Pacific Islanders? We’re a completely different demographic.

Insurance Companies should change the age to cover Colonoscopies... My daughter died of colon cancer at age 38 ... The first Doctor she went to told her she was constipated .. She was blond and blue eyed...

Healthy diet can help

White people are the only people on Earth who burn up in natural sunlight, get cancer and die. But that's no fun for white media to talk about.

There has to be a reason these high numbers.

Woah, did MSM just say men suffer something more. What?

Everything is racist to the left

Wait so does this mean white men are allowed to complain that black women are treated better than them? AllLivesMatter

ABC is a propaganda network owned by (((those who shall not be named)))

Colon cancer is racist 🙄

Big Dick Cums with Big Responsibility!!

Cancer is racist

We are always the bait on these topics smh

My Dad had colon cancer, stage 1 that was removed in 2007. In 2015 he died of pancreatic cancer, and I’ve often wondered if one led to the other.

Damn, so now cancer is a race thing?

Hard to believe he’s really gone

Colon cancer is racist

Because it’s black concern rates for colon cancer that why you guys are so quick to publish and spread the news, but the world has more issues than the colon cancer right now!

LizSzabo Goasfss Asa

Well maybe he should have spoken up about this dreadful disease before his unfortunate sudden death. That may have helped more people, just posting for a friend.

It must have something to do with melanin. For instance , grey horses, have an increased risk of tumours and there is a gene responsible for that. Melanin groups readily in their intestinal tract and creates tumours. Possibly this is related to melanin distribution ?

The World Health Organization offered, Let's act now.. You had your turn.. I work for my friend, Barack America., I would call a meeting in The Situation Room. Firefight ers religion policies from the largest share to union people across Estonia, dam aging Being j

So cancer is sexist and racist now too? 🤦‍♂️

My momma died from the evil colorectal cancer. She only made it 3 years from the diagnosis. Please —-everyone get your colonoscopy done! Practice a good diet and look at your poop! It can save your life!!!

Ok. Maybe the push is on working a cure and getting focus on this for everyone of each sex and shade of skin color.

The Australian government send out a kit every two years from the time you turn 50. Early detection etc....

How is this a article without talking about the lack of medical care or money to help black people get the screenings they need?!!

So very sad.

Colon Cancer is racist

even cells are racist

Gotta get checked......

cuz cancer is a white invention meant to keep people of color down and susan g. komen days at the ballparks

EVERYONE should get checked. My mother had it, didn't find it until it was stage 4, and she is white.

Damn, we can't catch a break.

Buttholes?

Again Thank's To Government's / Corporations / Scientist's & Of Course People Who Vote For The Fun Of It! Because They Surly Don't Know What They Are Voting For!

I think u get it from lack of work. Sitting on your ass too long, while tax payers pay the bill.

This makes me stressed, especially since I have family members who passed from colon cancer.

Go get ya ass checked....literally.

So, since men get it more than women why is a colonoscopy so invasive... I would think someone can come up with a better test...and one would have thought a man would find it... lol please someone find a better test, I hate this test but have to do it every 5 years..l

What's the main cause of colon cancer? Is it due to nutritional intake?

Most men do not want anything PUSH. UP their rear ends !!! Definitely need to happen to insecure long painless life !!!

God protects everybody from cancer in the world

he was wealthy....if he did not get checked, that is the story

Ah yes those racist diseases

Yeah, fast forward thru this, we have heard enough about it!

Fake news

Must be the fried chicken.

Chadwick is a great person

Diet

thegarance Cancer is obviously racist

Black panther the mythical hero if he was with us nah he would say if black lives really mattered white lives matter too...if Afican Americans want to show caucasians leadership help them get off their knees ..

NaijaFlyingDr 'Black people' How sensitive of ABC news

After my mom suddenly died from colon cancer I did decide to have a check up every three years it is worth to prevent it.

Is cancer racist ?

Bootyholes are racist

It's clear colon cancer is racist . BLM and BlackLivesmatter should make some serious riots and looting because of that.

What's next? Breast cancer rates higher among women?

MichaelCohen212 is a POS while CuomoPrimeTime is a dirt bag that DISRESPECTS woman in his MIND 1st then in reality all the while acting like he is on MORALE high ground firefredo CNN realDonaldTrump TuckerCarlson WFLA FoxNews DanScavino mschlapp JoeBiden WSJ PressSec

Reason is unhealthy nutrition in low income people.

Is that racism too?

This one too?

People like me might have gotten a colonoscopy, but could not, because ABC and other media were fomenting panic over a virus that didn't need to be panicked over. This was a disaster. A media disaster. We will be counting the cost for generations.

They on the down low.

Anal sex cause prostate and colon cancer

Sobering statistics. Take care of yourselves, people. RIP Mr Boseman.

RIP Sr. And May God Continue To Be With Your Loved Ones!🙏💕✌️

My mother, age 42, died of colon cancer, we’re hispanic, somehow though I feel now, 8 yrs after her death, we should have gotten a second opinion. She became sicker with treatment instead of better. But also a CLEAN, HIGH FIBER diet is essential! RIP🙏🏻💔

More lies.

Great, Colon Cancer is racist too. The Liberals will be champion: 'Must be Trump's & his supporters fault!' in the morning! Thanks .

Another one of his best movies. 😔😔

Study about why?

Lung cancer and colorectal cancer kill more people than breast cancer, but guess which one gets the most attention?

ABC can't even wait for the body to get cold before it starts exploiting it

If it wasn’t for EdwinLindo I would continue to wonder why colon cancer had anything to do, genetically, with race.

And when you throw in having a gene that is known to cause cancer, it is a double whammy.

Rip Man

Must be the 🍺?

Maybe diet contributes. Eating vegetables and fruits and low fat to keep food from sitting in the colon is supposed to help.

Can we not even get medical information now without separating us by skin color

I don’t understand the race part of it?

It has nothing to do with racism way to go ABC

THATS NOT TRU

Knowing is half the battle!

Awareness is key!

🙏

Probably a question for the Lancet.

Trump’s fault

Black men best at everything!

So Colon Cancer is Racist?

Then Black Men need to take this as a call to be vigilant, and get screened.

whatt 'Disproportionate affect on black man'!!! So colon cancer is racist How much will u go dwon FakeNewsMediaClowns

You are so ridiculous with this headline ...and actually Very disrespectful to the memory of ChadwickBoseman Cancer doesn’t give a damn if you’re black, brown, white, male, female, young or old! Cancer can and will kill ANYONE!

How about just MEN

Yep. Now CANCER is racist.

Oh! The headline at first made me think colon cancer was for a particular race... Why wasn't the full statistics referred to? It would have been a full reportage when you make known the numbers behind other races. Don't you think they need to be aware too?

Colon cancer is racist

effect, not affect

Is there a more racist disease, maybe presidential year politics, but other than that it’s colon cancer

Colon cancer can effect anyone regardless of race

I knew it! I was just waiting for 'cancer is racist' 😂

has a disproportionate problem with involving RACE in EVERY story they cover. Can’t wait until realDonaldTrump destroys the 2020Election and we will no longer have look at MushBrain JoeBiden. Then the corrupt media will be exposed CNN nytimes washingtonpost FakeNews

So now cancer is racist? Blame Trump he must be telling cancer what to do.

Why do yall keep posting this low iq white people are getting mad you may be saying black men are more likely to get colon cancer as black people we hear this and understand white people are gonna get mad thinking racism was a fault!

DRUMPFS FAULT!

Colon cancer is racist, like Covid

It's tragic that Chadwick Boseman died. That was a shock! Having said that, why is ABC making this about race? Even if it's factual, they don't need to poke the bear rn. There's a lot of hatred and divide going on and this only adds to the problem.

Glad this will be examined, hopefully thoroughly. Prostate cancer also disproportionately effects black men.

RAAAAACCCCEE

So clearly colon cancer is racist.

Cancer is racist

He was very young. It looks like his death is inspiring others to take action.

* effect

Another round of racial and hate propaganda.

😢

rip its super sad but does everything have to be about race. ever post for abc is about race

What?! I mean, some diseases do really differ in different races, but why didn't we about this one before? Or it's just inappropriate having news without racism now?

Anyone can be hit by it...mom died at 43 from it, and it hits the younger ones the hardest because colon cancer screening not recommended until 45 or 50... My Dr wanted a colonoscopy, ordered one, but VA dept said not until 40 if past family history. Its an ignored subject

I’m shocked he was battling cancer during Black Panther. That’s a physically demanding role

Wwhhyyyyyyy?! We could have all rallied in mourning. Why why why why why does this have to be a race thing?!

U people can write a lot of shit given half a chance

The FakeNewsMedia is now turning genetic predisposition into a racial issue.

Uncle died from it and I have celiac. More people should remove wheat from diet to see effects on a larger scale

My sister in law was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer at age 23 and passed at 29 with no family history and no other health issues. People need to take it seriously.

Who?

cancer be like 'i hate black people more lmao'

Colon cancer is racist!

The cancer is racist?

Bullshit....but keep up the race baiting so that the black community is hated more. What pathetic journalism. In a time when we want to bring people together you are promoting hatred. Nice job.

Cancer effects us all the same. What a silly ridiculous claim

thauserkstp Apparently cancer is now racist.

i’d really like to understand better how in-grown toe nails disproportionately affect black men. It’s a serious problem in this racist country and I want answers!

blm propaganda

so now your trying to say cancer is racists, is there anything the left won't politize

Keep pandering. Unreal.

Your memory lives on brother

Cancer is racist now.

So so sad.

the fact that chadwick boseman has been enduring so much pain this whole time without us knowing yet gave us some of the greatest performances of the decade... you will never be forgotten.

I’m sure there are diseases that disproportionately affect white people. This is a tragedy about this young man. People are different and disease can affect everyone different. It’s not fair but that’s life. Prayers to his family

Oh my gosh dude. Everything is a race baiting, disproportionate event now. Cancer is racist, COVID is racist...soon ABC will tell us how the sun is racist and the tides are racist. Get a liiiiiiiiife. Talk about 'fanning the flames'

RIP. Colon cancer is a horrible disease.

Now colon cancer is racist? I give up.

Story after story about how minority groups are victims in this country. These stories coincidentally Always come out around election time. Then Dems ignore them until next election. Start paying attention. In 4 years you'll see these and women's rights stories again.

Say what ? So now Cancer is racist? You have got to be fucing kidding me ! 😳

Diseases aren't racist what the fuck is this?

*effect

Here weeee go!!!!!

A true king🤴🏿

Waiting for the All Lives Matter people to get upset we are focusing on colon cancer currently and not all cancers.

Why must everything be divided by skin color?

Colon cancer affects all races equally.

Colon cancer is racist now?

Rest in peace

The Democratic Party has become the party of intolerance, censorship and Racism. Democrats have incited riots and promoted Marxist revolution, but offered NO protection to law abiding citizens. The country is waking to their evil and it has sealed their fate!

Would he even care if dude wasn't black?

Why Obama is active in politics he had 8 years. He should respect the tradition like it use to be. Retirement. Same for his wife.

Wonderful.

Wait until the photos of BO dressed up in Muslim garb holding an AK47 shooting at the USA flag go viral. John McCain was there during the photo shoot. Pictures taken before they ran for POTUS. The swamp is deep.

Barack.....like you really gave a damn . It's all for politics lol....give it up . You did nothing for America. .. 🙄

Man I miss a president capable of eloquent words, and deep and meaningful thought. Lovely tribute.

Too bad Barack didn’t

Trump 2020

Omg can you be more desperate

BarackObama did absolutely nothing for minority communities when he was president but he acts like he was this great moral compass. He's just another A hole who got rich being a politician.

No longer relevant Barack! Sorry! BarackObama

ABC is still shilling for Obama..

Chicago violence: 47 shot, 9 fatally in weekend shootings via abc7chicago

What waste of his years. And time n our tax money trying to fix his mess

Biased much? We had a black President for 8 years and suddenly black lives matter? Social engineering bullshit. BLM

He made a difference the short time he had on earth! How many Americans can say the same right now! His life is evidence that we don't live forever, & it's more important than MEME TRUMP: DON'T TRUST TRUMP - HE'S IGNORANT! IT'S EASIER TO VOTE HIM OUT AND START FROM SCRATCH!

🤨🤨🤨😬😬

Why does his skin color matter?

MMQB BarackObama

This is so wrong. Evans and Ruffalo should be making far less money.

Thank you for airing Black Panther tonight with no ads, and the program on now highlighting his career.A beautiful goodbye to an amazing man

Genetics or bad diet....or both...the end.

Stop it. I am Asian and my mother had stage 4 colon cancer which she outlasted for 7 years. Race has nothing to do with it.

Don’t even try using his death as a political tool for your agenda you pigs.

Net Worth Celebrities Robert Downey Jr. $300 million Chris Evans $80 million Scarlett Johansson $ 165 million Mark Ruffalo $35 million And late Chadwick Boseman $12 million of his timely death. This is tragedy. We must change this. This is what 'White Privilege' all about.

My mother died of colon cancer at 48. She lived 3 years after her diagnosis. I am currently 48 and have had 3 colonoscopies. Polyps removed 2 times. It is a highly preventable cancer. Get screened and don’t hide or talk away symptoms.

don’t think it’s meant to be racist fools. Just black men are more prone for whatever reason. Kinda like men don’t get breast cancer🙄

Well should I get ready to go out and protest this or what?

Let's not make this a race issue. Please

ABC using this man's death as a opportunity to be divisive. Real class act you guys are. While this may or not be scientific/medical fact, is it really the time for articles like this I only wish your actual goal was to keep a demographic informed of a higher risk to C C

My brother is white died at age 30 due to colon cancer but yes def a racial thing. Maybe I should read the article but that headline is garbage

People just need to stop sticking things in their asses.

God bless him

COLON CANCER IS RACIST

No doubt due to white privilege, right?

Cancer doesn't see color. I have spent many a years on a pediatric oncology floor watching kids of all races die. This tweet is silly. RIP.

You gotta he shittin me rn

The ACS says men should get a colonoscopy age 40 instead of 50.

His death is devastating. Resources must be spent on researching the reason and on encouraging black men and women to get checked early.

Race Card! Yes! Bingo!

So what are we average folk supposed to do about that?

Biggest threat to Blacks is Black on black crime. Why don't we address that?

Any spotlights shining on the disproportionate murder rate of black men killing whites? Rapes? Didn't think so....

Wow, my father would be happy to know that the cocoon cancer that killed him was meant for our black neighbor. Guess dad had one to many beers with our neighbor and the cancer got the wrong guy.

Now Ass Cancer Is racist....😂😂 Can you just stop this BS already? Fkng Media race baiters!🤦Its Not Helping your Lil Democratic party! Just tearing the Country apart! I think we need to investigate and go after the media executives that run and PUSH all this hate, Lies and BS!

Damn, even cancer is racist now. RIP Chadwick, its sad they are using your death as a racist political tool.

Race every day, all the time

...black men get colon cancer more frequently than any other race. Chill with the white fragility

It’s true- it’s statistically higher black men and women. It’s incredibly important they are all screened at 40. Colon cancer is survivable if detected early ❤️

Jesus bloody hell. How is this not offensive? When a black man dies, his death is used to promote a racial incident. Also, when a black man achieves a certain position like on the Washington Football team, it is about his race. How about focus on his achievements as a person.

HERE WE F!CKING GO

No it's more like let's find another thing we can blame on race or inequality instead of real solutions like early detection. The media's motive is to provoke conflict and plant a seed of turmoil. It creates views, it sells better than honest reporting.

Proper headline: Black Community Has The Highest Rate of Cancer Fatalities Because of Lack of Access in Screening

Cancer does NOT discriminate....my golly!

Apparently like everything colon cancer is racist. Be better people and cancer

Not really. White media and people just get sexual pleasure out of associating death and sickness with black people in any way they can conjure up.

Systemic racism?

Damn the media has to make everything about race

You people can find racism in a peanut butter and jelly sammich.

Colon Cancer is racist now. 😂
