Quite recently, this writer had a brief conversation with a middle-aged black lady, who informed him how she had just recovered from an attack of sickle cell disease. In response to our "what the heck is that" query, she went on to describe the severe overall bodily pain, requiring medical treatment. She then added the bombshell about her race's being the only one so victimized.
Amazing as this sounded, a subsequent look into the internet confirmed her statement that said malady is restricted to black persons only. However, no clear reason seems apparent.
This newfound rather astounding knowledge has led us to wonder if perhaps yet another far more serious and incurable ailment may prevail as well, but solely affecting people who belong to the Ku Klux Klan.
At least we can hope.
