Blood supplies short -- give if you can.

I gave blood about 4 years ago. One of the best decisions in my life. Easy to do and makes ya feel good in the end. Especially since I'm a Black female, my blood can go to sickle cell patients. I believe my school is holding a blood drive later this Spring. Which is when I'm gonna give blood again. I recommend doing it!

I have the sickle cell. Well, I'm sold on it. I read it on WebMD. My doctor told me I couldn't have it because I'm not black, I called him a racist and stormed out.

Sickle-cell disease occurs more commonly in people (or their descendants) from parts of the world such as sub-Saharan Africa, where malaria is or was common, but it also occurs in people of other ethnicities.

Well it could happen if you have any Africans in your family tree...?
