Are Americas whites really dying faster?
Thought that would get your attention. Every racist President Republican supporter will grab onto this with both hands.
America may be one of the richest countries in the world, but the travails of the white working class have captured the nation's imagination - and one struggle in particular.
According to a pair of studies published by two Princeton economists, Anne Case and Sir Angus Deaton, middle-aged white Americans are dying at a higher rate than black and Hispanic Americans. The research has fed a narrative that white Americans are being left behind - a feeling which has intensified with the growing popularity of Donald Trump.

THIS is what we need to talk about and develop strategies for dealing with in future. Always remember, Republicans are racists which trumps economics.
