As slaves blacks were reduced to eating the bad parts of the pig and vegetables with little nutritional value which contributed to HBP, eventually over the last 100 yrs because we continued to eat poor quality foods due to economic issues HBP became hereditary, now it's an issue that may take another 100 yrs of dietary, and life changes before it is controlled.
I think your right, lets blame the slave owners for everything. I smoke and blame them as well. I wonder if I could get some money for it.

It has to do with access to health care, diet, activity level, and genetics
