I would like to think that an article about a specific subgroup of the SZ population that pertains to race would have a more P.C. Title than this article.
Being black is one thing but I think that there’s a little more going on than just plain “going crazy” when you have MI. I take offense at the term crazy anyway. Maybe I’m wrong but there are more scientific and polite ways of putting it.

So are they saying that it is more due to prejudice or do black people have a pre-disposition to getting sz more than the general populace. Either way it sucks.

thats a good question, i feel there is more to it than that as well, i feel that they might think they dont or cant fit in because they think they are different.
