Race mortality gap in the US narrows, except for infants. Really!

Here is more junk science and junk journalism provided by an elite university like Harvard! Contrived racial disparities everywhere! 

This is a primitive race ideology a la Nazis based on skin color and not on socioeconomic factors and other factors.

It is Black infants versus white infants! Joseph Goebbels could not have done it better! Interestingly, the authors of the research study below capitalized both black and white.

"Americans are living longer than ever. And the disparity in overall mortality rates between Black and white Americans has narrowed since the 1950s. Among infants, however, the gap has widened, with Black infants dying at twice the rate of white infants, a new study reports. ..."

From the abstract:

"... The gaps in absolute life expectancy and age-standardized mortality between Black and White Americans decreased over the 70-year period beginning in 1950, but relative mortality in infants and children increased during this same period. ..."
