Racism makes Black men age faster, but not in the way you think.
A study from the University of Maryland found that, biologically speaking, Black men who had both experienced racial discrimination AND harbored an anti-Black bias themselveswhether they knew they held one or notaged quicker than other Black men, even if they had also experienced discrimination. Those who were both victims of discrimination and held a bias against other Blacks aged between 1.4 and 2.8 years faster by the time they reached age 50.
