The drop in U.S. life expectancy has put the country only a few years above the world average, while in 1960, it was 17 years ahead.

    The point was women only live 4-5 years longer thsn men so thst cant be the reason why black men life expectancy is ~67 instead of 81

      My comment was definitely in bad taste, I just have a weird fixation on data manipulation in reporting, sorry

      Oh for sure, I was never trying to make it seem black life expectancy wasn’t far lower than average in the USA, sorry if it came off like that

      Just pointing out that comparing women and men across races is terrible analysis
