so because its not a virus that means im racist. Also you guys throw that label around pretty easy this is probably racist on my part but kinda defeats the meaning of the term. Mind you i do feel that the banner is awful and repugnant but the overuse of the term is self defeating

It seems like you're arguing semantics here.

You guys are stupid. Sickle cell anemia is a genetic trait in which some of the red blood cells don't get the proper amount/type of hemoglobin, and the blood doesn't get the proper amount of oxygen.

I heard that phrase used often in movies from the 1930s and 1940s...I just recently watched a 1939 movie where John Garfield used it in a scene.

Are you always this dim? Those were two separate responses - they had nothing to do with each other.

No, just ignorant I guess. I forgot what sickle cell anemia was.

No, it doesn't.
If one has a mutated gene for hemoglobin from one parent only and a normal hemoglobin gene from the other (heterozygous), then one has increased resistance to malaria. However, if the abnormal gene is inherited from both parents (homozygous), then one has sickle cell disease.
