Birthdays. They're more than just the one day people in bad marriages get to have sex or an excuse to reach out to an ex on Facebook. They're how we measure milestones. But if you're black in America, each birthday is a much bigger deal. Black men live a full 7 years less than the national average. 7 years. That's like missing the entire run of Designing Women or six Bulls championships and the one time the Cavs got lucky. Stress, hypertension, heart disease, rap beefs. It takes an exceptional black man to make it all the way to 65.
— Dre (V.O.)
