Daylight Savings Time 'disproportionately' impacts 'communities of color,' insists CNN article

A recent online article from CNN argued that Daylight Savings Time disproportionately affects the sleep and health of minority communities.

The piece, published on Friday by CNN Health reporter Jacqueline Howard, argued that Daylight Savings Time often disrupts sleep, throws off people’s circadian rhythms and can contribute to general health problems.

And since people of color have a higher number of health problems, this means observing Daylight Savings Time is more dangerous for them.

The piece began by citing Vanderbilt University Medical Center Sleep Division professor, Dr. Beth Malow, who claimed, "Daylight saving time is associated with increased risks of sleep loss, circadian misalignment, and adverse health consequences."

Howard also cited National Institute of Environmental Health Science researcher Chandra Jackson, who stated, "Poor sleep is associated with a host of poor health outcomes, including obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, including of the breast and colon."

Jackson added the key point, stating, "Many of these health outcomes are more prevalent in the Black population."

Howard noted, "it’s not that White adults don’t also experience a lack of sleep and its health consequences – but people of color appear to disproportionately experience them more, and that’s believed to be largely due to social systems in the United States."

 

And you wonder why CNN's ratings have been tanking for the past twenty years. It's not just because FoxNews is so much superior.

Key questions and talking points, for the adults here. (We already know what the children will say.)

1. Obesity? You mean it is caused by lack of sleep in black people, and not diet?

2. Lack of sleep causes high blood pressure? (For those of you children who barely got out of third grade, Hypertension is high blood pressure.)

3. Is there something unique about black people that they are SO different from the Master White Race that they cannot adjust their sleeping patterns whenever the government sets the clocks forward or back an hour? Is that the argument you left wing goose steppers want? We know you think blacks are too stupid to do math. California passed a law outlawing "racist math."  So now they are too stupid to adjust their sleep patterns?

4. What is a community of color? EVERY human comes in a color. Around the early Seventies, it became an INSULT to refer to a black person as a colored person, but now it's okay to refer to black neighborhoods as communities of color? I live in a community of multi color. There are blacks, whites, Asians. They all seem to sleep just fine.

 

Folks, just you watch. This thread will attract the bozos here, and most of them will try to change the subject. Get the popcorn.
