The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation collaborates with the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute to produce the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps. Scores are broken into two main categories:
- Health outcomes, defined as how long people live and how healthy they feel.
- Health factors, defined as focus areas that drive how long and well people live. Examples include: tobacco use, access to care and community safety.
The rankings aim to demonstrate
the size and nature of health disparities throughout the state,
according to the foundation’s report, and can show “how state and
community leaders can take action to create environments where all
residents have the opportunity to live their healthiest lives.”
Racine County’s overall ranking this year was No. 61 of the state’s 72 counties for health outcomes, and No. 62 for health factors. Those scores have largely been similar since 2011, the oldest available data. In some measures, however, the county showed bigger fluctuation.
Ozaukee County took the top spot in both overall rankings this year; Menominee County was ranked the lowest.

When I was growing up, once you hit adolescence it was "cool" to put Racine down. If only I knew how good it was back then. Articles like this and the one that states Racine is the 4th worst state for blacks shows how far we've slid. When I was a stupid kid, Racine was home to a ton of industry. It was probably better than it's ever been.
Why are we afraid of anyone who isn't white? It's difficult for young blacks to grow up in urban settings. Why are we making it worse for them? I've heard some terrible, obscene th8ings said about blacks. There's the storekeeper just south of downtown. Many, if not the majority, of his customers are black. Yet, I've witnessed where he'd sell something to blacks, then call them niggers after they'd left the store. And he's Asian. Not completely white; just some yellow mixed in.
Now, Racine is really a fucked up city. Racism is alive and well here. It's a real anomaly because it's supposed to be the South that hates blacks, not the North.
Now comes the news that our city's environment is crap. We just can't catch a break, can we?
If only you frequented the Downtown Bars more often you wouldn't be concerned with trivial stuff like this!
Lighten UP!
Or - LIGHT UP!

I can't afford to light up.
Then you need to find a friend with *WEED*.
Plenty of 'em in Racine.
Enjoy some Butthole Surfers!
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breast and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather,
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
A friend who'll tease is better,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
My Japanese is better,
And when she's pressed she will undress,
And then she's boxing clever,
A friend in need's a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,
Day's dawning, skins crawling
Day's dawning, skins crawling
Day's dawning, skins crawling
Pure morning
Pure morning
Pure morning

Of course, you could always go for two Colt 45's and two Zig-Zags....

Wait a minute man
Hey check this out man tell it
It was this blind man right, it was this blind man right
He was feelin' his way down the street with a stick right, hey
He walked past this fish market, you know what I'm sayin'
He stopped he took a deep breath he said
Snfffffff, woooo good morning ladies, ha
You like that shit man
Hey man I've got a gang of that shit man
Hey I'll tell you what
We'll all have a good time
We'll fool on the drum
And hey, hey if everybody crowd around the mike
I'll tell you all these motherfuckin' jokes I got
First I'm gonna start off like that, hey help me sing it homeboy
[Hook]
Said colt 45 and two zigzags baby thats all we need
We can go to the park, after dark
Smoke that tumbleweed
As the marijuana burn we can take our turn
Singin' them dirty rap songs
Stop and hit the bong like Cheech and Chong
And sell tapes from here to Hong Kong
So roll, roll, roll my joint, pick out the seeds and stems
Feelin' high as hell flyin' through Palmdale
Skatin' on Dayton rims
So roll, roll, the '83 Cadillac Coupe Deville
If my tapes and my cds just don't sell, I bet my Caddy will
Sorry, no alcohol. I just lose my mind on it and say and do shit I normally wouldn't. Reefer doesn't make me belligerent; in fact, quite the opposite: I end up peacefully falling asleep.
