Research Shows Black People Have More HIV Cases But Are Least Likely To Receive Medical Treatment

A new study shows Black people have the most new cases of HIV in America but are least likely to get treatment for the disease. According to NOLA reports:
Black men and women accounted for most of new HIV cases in 2013. Yet they received the least amount of medical care, according to a new report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The study looked at 9,824 adults who were diagnosed with HIV in 2010 and were alive three years later. Out of that population, 54 percent were black, 24 percent white and 17 percent Hispanic.
The medical care received by each group was similarly imbalanced.

11 Year Old ‘Sick Of Reading About White Boys & Dogs’ Starts Her Own Black Girl Book Club

One young girl is proving that you have to be the change in the world that you want to see. 11-year-old Marley Dias started a campaign to collect and donate 1000 books where black girls are the main characters.
According to Philly Voice reports: “I’m hoping to show that other girls can do this as well,” Dias told PhillyVoice. “I used the resources I was given, and I want people to pass that down and use the things they’re given to create more social action projects — and do it just for fun, and not make it feel like a chore.”

Men Beat Army Veteran For Liking Black People

Police in Michigan arrested three men who are accused of viciously beating an Army veteran who objected to their racist remarks.
According to the Westland Police Department, United States Army veteran Adam Wagner went to a 7-11 convenience store at 2 a.m. Saturday morning to purchase a pack of cigarettes. Once inside, he noticed three men harassing the female clerk, and he told them to stop.
When he walked outside, the trio followed him. At this point, Wagner told police, they noticed the Army insignia on Wagner’s car and began to taunt him about the military.
“They were saying, ‘How can you be in the military when they let black people in the military?’ They used the ‘n word’, saying [he] was an ‘n-word’ lover,” Wagner’s girlfriend told WJBK.
