I was looking for a topic for my Sunday Smiles essay when I came across a story that was simultaneously frustrating and a perfect example of how little you should trust politicians and activists.
Sonoma County has declared racism a “public health crisis” because, it claims, its black residents (1% of population) live to a mean of 71 years.
But the county’s own website and other sources state they live to a mean of 82 years â one year more than whites.

Sonoma County, California has declared Racism a public health emergency because of the shocking disparities they claim exist between the health outcomes of Black residents and those of Whites and members of other races.
For those of you unfamiliar, Sonoma is about as White and as liberal a place as you will find in California, with a Black population that could, to exaggerate a bit, fit into a high school gym. According to the county’s website, the population looks like this:
White, Non-Hispanics currently represent 64.2% of the countyâs population while Hispanics account for 25.6%. Other ethnic groups include: Asian/Pacific Islander (5.2%), African Americans (1.7%), American Indians (1.0%), and persons reporting two or more races (2.3%). While the countyâs population is less diverse than that of California as a whole, this is changing. By 2020, Sonomaâs Hispanic population, currently estimated at 129,057, is expected to grow to 168,290 and account for 31% of the total population. Other ethnic groups are projected to experience less dramatic growth.
