Too Many blacks are dying at an early age in Suffolk, Virginia. Why?
It has come to my attention that a disproportionate number of blacks have died in Suffolk, Virginia in the past 12 months. These deaths include a lot of young persons. Cancer of some sought seem to be a factor in many if not most cases.
Therefore, I wonder how much those chemical plants, land-fills, peanut dust and farm pesticides factor into the early death of so many citizens in Suffolk.
Earlier I wrote about my belief that the chemical plant on Dill Road may have contributed to the early death of several citizens in the Pleasant Hill community. For example, recently two of my relatives who lived a rock throw from that facility passed away within a few months of each other. Also, when I stop and think on a street by street basis, I can think of more and more people who lived in the community who passed away at a young age or is suffering from some form of cancer.
Also, land-fills in communities can be harmful. Citizens who have their homes near them are not likely going to move away just for the purpose of getting away from the land-fills Why? Perhaps due to lack of information. .
Studies have shown that they can cause cancer. You cannot find an owner or responsible official who will give you assurance that land-fills are harmless.
Just think. In whose community do they put most land-fills? I heard your answer and you are right.
What can the citizens do?
