"Blacks make up 10% of the population......probably not enough to significantly effect life span statistics."

You are talking facts, now.

The biggest influence on average life expectancy in the US is class more than race. Access to health care is a determining factor, especially prenatal care. Low birth weight among the poor means higher infant mortality and that depresses the average life expectancy among the poor. Lack of health insurance and hence, a reluctance to seek medical care, just drives the nail home.
