From reading the reporting of that study, it seems that they measured cortisol levels over a period of several years. They then must have interviewed the subjects involved extensively to find out parents income, lifestyle, depression and other factors that may contribute to variance. Discrimination was the only factor they could think of to explain a difference between white and black subjects because all the other factors had been successfully ruled out. What is glaringly obvious is that they didn't even consider genetics. WOW. Researchers who didn't even think of the most obvious factor. Multiculturalism has infected the hard sciences it seems. I sent the link to a couple of well respected scientists to have a look. Hopefully they get back to me.

Nah, this actually makes sense. The discrimination can be entirely imaginary, so it fits the bill for nigs. All it really means is niggers be crazy.

That and we are being set up for a fucked up future with how much actual discrimination white kids face.

In times of stress, the body releases several hormones, including cortisol. Ideally, cortisol levels are high in the morning to help energize us for the day. At night, cortisol levels wane as the body prepares for sleep.

Here's a good primer on what cortisol does to your body.

Cortisol is a steroid hormone that maintains blood pressure, regulates the immune system and helps break down proteins, glucose and lipids. It's a hormone that's gotten quite a bad rep in the fitness and health community but we have it for a reason. The morning peak in cortisol makes us get out of bed and get going. A blunted morning cortisol peak is associated with lethargy and depression. Cortisol is elevated during exercise, which helps mobilize fats, increase performance and experience euphoria after and during workouts. Trying to suppress acute elevations of cortisol during exercise, or the normal diurnal rhythm, is foolish. Chronically elevated levels of cortisol, resulting from psychological and/or physiological stress, is another thing and unquestionably bad for your health; it increases protein breakdown, appetite and may lead to depression.

The context is often critical, and this is especially true in regards to cortisol - which is why I’m going to give you a very brief primer on this complex and multi-facetted hormone. There are almost as many definitions of stress as there are myths about cortisol, but in regards to the former, the one that appeals to me from a minimalist perspective is:

"Stress can be defined as any challenge to homeostasis of an individuum that requires an adaptive response of that individuum."

  • Newport & Nemeroff, 2002.

Cortisol is secreted in response to a stressor, in order to help you cope with the stressor efficiently, whether that stressor is a balls-to-walls-set of 20-rep squats, or a looming deadline for an article that needs to be finished. The role of cortisol during these challenges is to boost you, not cripple you, whether the stressor is physical (e.g. exercise, injury, cold) or psychological (e.g. a complex or cognitively demanding challenge) in nature (or both).

Thanks to increasing cortisol levels during training, we can push way past our non-stressed comfort level, and maintain an adequate rate of exertion for a longer period of time than what would have been possible otherwise, without being overtly distracted by pain, hunger and fatigue. Cortisol improves muscle and glucose metabolism, increases pain tolerance, diminishes fatigue and strengthens motivation.

By the way, does this answer those of you who have asked me about my thoughts on pre-workout cortisol blockers? No? OK, then all I can say is good luck with those squats, buddy..

Due to cortisol in response to a cognitive challenge, we can recall important facts faster and in greater detail than otherwise, maintain focus, stay alert and pull all-nighters in front of the computer if needed. Cortisol increases sensory perception, memory recall, and wakefulness.

Most of the above is covered in Robert Sapolsky’s excellent book Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers, in which he also explains when and why cortisol becomes bad for us. Briefly, prolonged exposure to a stressor results in chronically elevated cortisol, which then does all sorts of bad things to us. There’s a time and place for cortisol. In this day and age, the line between work (stress) and leisure time (rest) is often blurred.

With constant self-imposed demands, never ending obligations, and endless opportunities to work (in the office, at home, etc), the stressors of modern society are of the psychological variety and they are always present if you allow them in.

In stark contrast, the stressors of the past were more often of the intermittent and physical variety. While they were probably more severe and often life threatening, there was a clear-cut line between the start and the end. And this explains the title of Sapolsky’s book, which I cannot recommend highly enough, and which I urge you to read if you want a more detailed explanation of stress and the workings of cortisol.

I also like how they don't specify what 'discrimination' means in context of the study.

TLDR: Start doing IF niggers!!

In African-Americans, however, the negative effects of perceived discrimination on cortisol are stronger than in whites,

The key word here is perceived. Niggers have been told by the SJW's that anytime there is negative consequences to their TNB it's not their fault, it's because of discrimination. So if they show up high to school everyday and get held back a grade it's discrimination. If they punch a cop in the face and they get their ass beaten in, it's discrimination. If they can't find a job because they haven't been looking for one, it's discrimination. Etc. Etc. Etc.
