| Description | A remark from a U.S. Senate candidate that black males have a "genetic predisposition" for a lower life expectancy has created a new furor in what has been an especially tight - and nasty - campaign.
Black legislators Thursday blasted former congressman Tom Coburn, saying his remark implied that black males are genetically inferior.
