This study should have included more demographics to get a baseline for all of our people.
Where did you get a 100% black or 100% white child in America to prove these results? Are these facts true of blacks from Africa and whites from Europe, or is this just a study for the "Melting Pot?"
Nature and the environment is racist!!!! Where's Jessie and the Reverend Alvin??? LMAO!!!
Now, had they included fried chickens, chitterlings (chit-lins), ham hocks and collard greens to the menu we black folk would have done just fine!!!
The research only applied to food items we eat in the American culture. If the research were done in an African country, where their local diets were studied, I would expect you would see the opposite results where the Caucasian people would have more food sensitivities.
As a simple example, somebody with European background would more likely retain the ability to consume milk products into adulthood than would somebody with an African background. So thanks to the researcher "captain obvious," we know about dairy what we already knew.
It has to be the white devil's fault. Still trying to hold 'em down.
On the good side, nobody appears to be allergic to fried chicken, okra, turnip greens, butter beans, corn pones, iced tea, sweet potato pie, and watermelons (a personal favorite)!, for sure . . .
For sure! :D
Wheewwwww...I can finally sleep after knowing the results of this study.
I see lots of disrespect here.
Food sensitivities can be a real health issue. People can have issues that prevent them from digesting their food properly and these children may not develop properly the way they should. We should all be concerned for them whether they are black or white children.
Wait I thought we are all the same/equal? lol Until we can cut out the PC BS and realize that genetic differences between races exist we will never advance from a collective racial mindset.
This PC sensitivity doesn't jive with the facts clearly.

STOP ALREADY! Give it a break. You can't go one freakin' minute in this disgusting PC-crazy country without reading something about race, the differences between races, the disparity between races, the income-gap between races, the health problems compared to race, the murder rates compared to race, the haves and have-nots between the races, obama and race, police and race, politicians and race, firefighters and race, athletes and race, race about race.
No wonder there still exists racism in this country. The uber-liberal Jewish-controlled cowardly white media won't let it go. MY GOD. ENOUGH.
LOL on the stop racism comment followed by the racist evil Jewish white people comment. I love nothing more than watching somebody preach tolerance one second, and be as intolerant the next.
Get rid of your hatred, and maybe others will do the same.
Hopefully a study like this will counteract the ridiculous allegation that food sensitivities and/or food allergies are "yuppie" inventions created by the upper middle class white folk who want their children to feel "special.''
Ok could we have said African-American children instead of "Black Kids. I'm just saying.
Thank you! My child (who has a mixed race heritage) would be considered "black" and has food allergies, and I find this article to be offensive! The should have played up the ancestry bit more than the race, as this obviously played more of a role in the genetics of the children than color anyway.. :P
I hate to put politics into this, but our President checked only 1 box when filling out the census last time around. He may have a "white" mother, but he didn't check white. Of course white should be considered as racist as black if you think about it. We should be calling white people Caucasians or European Americans, just like we are supposed to call blacks African Americans.
If it were up to me, we would just do away with the whole false concept of race. It is a label people made a long time ago which needs to be discarded. Can't have racism if the concept of race no longer exists. :) Wouldn't that be nice?
BLACK kids?? African American is actually a RACE. Last time I checked BLACK was a COLOR and I have YET to see a BLACK person. The letters on my screen are black. People will write about anything and obviously the people we thought wouldnt post it..in fact DID. They say that African Americans go about everything pulling the "Race Card". Most of the time, It has already been pulled in the situation. And some of the people posting are OBVIOUSLY allergic to their own brain. The ignorant comments that come through the fingers and mouths of some people.
