"Even though Black women in the US have about a 4% lower incidence rate of breast cancer than White women, they are 41% more likely to die from the disease, previous data from the American Cancer Society showed."

Seems like the headline to me. But that would sound like evidence of ongoing class warfare by the ultra rich against the poor, so I suspect CNN isn't allowed to headline it.
