Too Short Releases A Statement Denying Rape Allegations Earlier this week, we reported that one of Too Short’s artists had accused him of sexually assaulting her at an L.A. mansion. While Short has not been arrested or formally charged, he has released a statement refuting all the allegations against him. “Today, I read that I am being investigated for allegedly committing sexual assault. The allegations against me are completely false. Let me be clear, I have NEVER had nonconsensual sex with anyone, ever. I have directed my lawyers to vigorously combat these ridiculous claims. I have not been contacted by the LAPD about this matter and doubt I ever will be. If I am, I will direct my lawyers to fully cooperate and turn over 100’s of text messages and other evidence that will prove this woman is falsely accusing me. Thanks for your support.” At this point we still have no update on the LAPD’s investigation. Guess we’ll have to wait and see how this unfolds. Image via Instagram
Black Women More Likely To Receive Improper Breast Cancer Care Than Whites Racial disparities in medical care, with black patients often receiving substandard care in comparison with their white counterparts, but this is nothing new… Via The Root : However, in what NBC News is describing as the largest study to look at the disparities in breast-cancer tratement in the U.S. (just in time for Pinktober), it is all but confirmed that black women are indeed more likely to experience a worse type of breast cancer and often do not even receive the same standard of care as white women. According to the researchers, black women are more likely than white women to get the wrong treatment for breast cancer to begin with, are often diagnosed later and also have bigger tumors. Native American women are also subjected to the same type of inferior treatment and are also at a higher risk for more aggressive cancer. “We found that there is a consistent pattern of late diagnosis and not receiving recommended treatment for some racial and ethnic groups across all breast-cancer subtypes,” one researcher, Lu Chen, from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle told NBC News. The team studied data on more than 100,000 American women listed on a National Cancer Institute cancer registry, according to NBC. “Women in several racial/ethnic groups are more likely to be diagnosed with more advanced stage breast cancer,” Chen’s team wrote in their report, according to NBC News. “African-American and American Indian/Alaska Native women in particular had the highest risk of being diagnosed with stage 4 triple-negative breast cancer.” The study was published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention. Black women, the team noted, had a 40 to 70 percent higher risk of having stage 4 cancer than white women. Native American women were almost four times as likely to have stage 4 triple-negative cancer, which is incredibly hard to treat. Discuss.
