Question just about Sickle Cell Anemia.?

I was talking with a Co-Worker & he said that solitary black people can get Sickle Cell Anemia & I was wondering if i.e. true or not, I never heard of that before.

Thanks.
Answers:
No, white people can return with it too. But blacks have like a 2/3 higher luck of getting it.
Anyone who receives two copies of the sickle cell allele will get the disease. African Americans have a much greater karma of carrying the sickle cell allele than do their European caucasian brothers and sisters, so they are more likely to get disease.
Sickle cell disease is genetic. It is more common within individuals of
African or Mediterranean descent.
