Hypertension afflicts 50 million Americans and is most common in African Americans, who are 40% more likely to suffer from it than whites. In addition to studies, which found that genetic differences promote hypertension in African Americans, several medical studies have concluded that racism, which causes psychosocial stress, leads to hypertension and life-threatening illnesses in the black population.
