[krackdagawd]

Sept. is Sickle Cell Awareness month and as many of you brehs know I and a few other coli brehs (who don't really want their info out like that) live with this demonic disease

A little info

What is Sickle Cell Disease?

Sickle Cell Disease is an inherited blood disorder that causes anemia, tissue and organ damage, strokes and terrible pain. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all the parts of the body through a substance called hemoglobin. Normal red blood cells are soft and round and can squeeze through tiny blood vessels. People with Sickle Cell Disease have red blood cells that contain mostly hemoglobin S, an abnormal type of hemoglobin. These red blood cells are stiff, distorted in shape (like a sickle) and sometimes block small blood vessels. This is what causes the complications of Sickle Cell Disease and why transfusion from blood donors can help.

Who does this disease affect?

Over 70,000 Americans have Sickle Cell Disease. Ninety percent of all Sickle Cell Disease in the United States occurs in people of African descent. African American and Black donors can provide blood that is a better match for patients who suffer from Sickle Cell Disease.

I would like to ask the brehs if you could give a donation at your local red cross and specifically say you would like the donation to go to the "blue tie program" that let's them know that you specifically want the blood for a sickler.

You can find your nearest red cross by putting your zip code here American Red Cross - Give blood




We specifically need donors of African decent because the blood is a better match so I would like to ask the coli brehs for some help Also if you have the trait you can still donate even more so because they tend to be a better match as well.

Thank you in advance friends.

I donate blood all the time; my homie has sickle cell and it causes her to always quit her job. She was working as an traveling RN and had to quit that; she was making bread, but she said the plane rides hurt to much.

The irony of this statement when Pac's mom along with the rest of the Black Panther party gave care to kids in the hood with it back in the day because hospitals were giving sicklers the at the time.

A lot of black folks do not know how much the BPP (Fred Hampton, Huey, Bunchy and etc.) did for blacks when it came to health care:

Yup history often leaves this out

@Money Mase this was more than treatment they were funding research for a cure

Yep.

It's a reason why the government want to destroy the Black Panther Party. If you can discover why African Americans bone marrow develops sickle shaped red blood cells, it would help preserve the black race. It also comes down to money; if black people were the ones to first discover bone marrow trans plant and stem cells inside of the bone marrow, we would rep the profit, not the white medical schools and medical/insurance companies.

It's crazy when you think about it. Playing checkers and playing chess.
