Democratic Governor John Bel Edwards used his news conference today to blame society for the large proportion of black people who die from COVID-19.
He gave the podium to a black doctor from New Orleans to give this announcement.
These are lifestyle “diseases” common among people who live on public assistance.
Obesity and diabetes - bad diet choices, asthma- smoking.
Tell them to stop eating fried chicken, corn bread, fried fish, fried everything else, and to exercise. By the way, outside of professional sports, has anybody seen a black adult exercising lately?
Is he blaming society for sickle cell anemia too?
Its Americas fault there is no personal responsibility.
We also don’t know whether or not the WuFlu tore through Asian populations earlier and deaths were attributed to influenza.
You want to talk death disparities??
Women death rate … 1.7%
Male death rate … 2.7%
Us males be victims. Gimme dat cash ...
It is nobody’s fault EXCEPT the black community themselves, most are extremely obese and their kids are extremely obese most have diabetes because of being obese!! That is NOT because of racism it is because they don’t eat properly PERIOD!!!
Some blame should be attributed to the Government Food Pyramid.
A lot of them just have bad genes.
Any mention of China? Of Mardi Gras?
