This does not add up

The NHS must change how black men are treated for prostate cancer to prevent “an epidemic of unnecessary deaths” in which twice as many die as white men, campaigners have warned.

Academics are seeking to raise awareness that one in four black men are getting this cancer, twice the rate of white men, which is one in eight, according to Prostate Cancer UK’s analysis of patient datasets for England. One in 12 black men are at risk of dying of this condition compared with one in 24 white men.

If the same number – or portion – get the disease but more die of it then it’s differential treatment. If the same portion of those who get it die then it’s not differential treatment and if more people get it but the same portion who do die then again, it’ not treatment that’s different. It’s something before treatment.

But then this is being driven by the ususal type of race grifter (an expert in forensic archaeology apparently) so there we are.

Didn’t we have an identical article and thread a couple of weeks ago about the higher rate of black infant mortality?

wtf does ‘at risk of dying of mean’?

100% of men are at risk of dying of electrocution from sticking their dick in the mains. Very few actually will though.

Lots of old boys die WITH prostate cancer, very few die OF it.
Most of them actually die of Covid.(Apparently).

“We are living through an epidemic of unnecessary deaths of black men,” said Stafford Scott a community activist.

Ah, the race grifter extraordinaire himself. And of course the reasond why black men are ‘being diagnosed late and so are coming into the system late’ must be due to prejudice, and not the fact of their own lack of health conciousness… .

“We are trying to build capacity among black men to hold the NHS to account.”

Just tell them to go rto the doctors to get checked out you moron!

Not even that exalted:

Where ‘forensic archaeology’ probably means discovering that Britain was really built by black people…

forensic architecture?
If it was “why was that building built like it is?” or “why did that building turn out to be a heap of shit?” it could be a very useful subject. Might deter architects from designing heaps of shit.
But somehow I suspect it isn’t
