Failure to recognize causes high blood pressure?

[edit]

In the last section, this sentence doesn't make sense: "In other words, failing to recognize instances of racism has a direct impact on the blood pressure of the person experiencing the racist event." How can failing to recognize anything impact someone's blood pressure? That's like saying that failing to recognize a football has a direct impact on the blood pressure of a person being hit by one. The rest of the section seems to suggest that it's the other way around -- blood pressure is what affects a person's ability to recognize racism. I'm not sure if this is correct, but since it makes more sense, I'm going to change it for now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NoriMori (talkcontribs) 01:59, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
