Black mothers and infants are dying at a higher rate than white mothers and infants, in large part because of societal racism and racial bias in the health care system. …
Black infants in America are now more than twice as likely to die as white infants — 11.3 per 1,000 black babies, compared with 4.9 per 1,000 white babies, according to the most recent government data — a racial disparity that is actually wider than in 1850, 15 years before the end of slavery, when most black women were considered chattel. …
The reasons for the black-white divide in both infant and maternal mortality have been debated by researchers and doctors for more than two decades. But recently there has been growing acceptance of what has largely been, for the medical establishment, a shocking idea: For black women in America, an inescapable atmosphere of societal and systemic racism can create a kind of toxic physiological stress, resulting in conditions — including hypertension and pre-eclampsia — that lead directly to higher rates of infant and maternal death.

More so than in 1850's?
I am going to go ahead and guess it's mostly drugs with a dash of diet and lack of support from the father.

Maybe the research addresses this, but it's ljl that the article discusses this entire topic and doesn't mention the topic of overweight/obesity once.
Obesity is a problem against all demographics, but four out of five black women are either seriously overweight or outright obese: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/06/opinion/sunday/why-black-women-are-fat.html
Hmmm, so you're 300 pounds and trying to have a baby. Good luck with that.
(Just kidding, overweight is mentioned exactly once as the exact sort of question that shouldn't be asked ever by anybody:
When the black-white disparity in infant mortality first became the subject of study, discussion and media attention more than two decades ago, the high rate of infant death for black women was widely believed by almost everyone, including doctors and public-health experts, to affect only poor, less-educated women — who do experience the highest numbers of infant deaths. This led inevitably to blaming the mother. Was she eating badly, smoking, drinking, using drugs, overweight, not taking prenatal vitamins or getting enough rest, afraid to be proactive during prenatal visits, skipping them altogether, too young, unmarried?)
