Watching them try to split the crisis up into bickering over the disparate impact on intersectional identity groups. I say she be run out of town on a rail after tar and feathers.
How did this idea that black health care workers are disproportionately at risk of contracting coronavirus, that they make up the majority of health care workers and that they are somehow sacrificing more than white health care workers? There are many more white doctors than black doctors. Likely the same with nurses.
These white health care workers are selflessly manning the front lines in this crisis every bit as much as the lower lever health care workers of which blacks tend to be represented in larger numbers. How much has this self serving low life sacrificed? It’s ironic that she’s whining about complainers who have no skin in the game. Sounds like she’s talking about herself.
For what it’s worth, this Attorney General who’s complaining about ‘white folks’ is not black as one might suspect by the way she speaks. She’s a liberal white woman who undoubtedly had every advantage in upbringing and education (i.e. ‘white privilege’).
