What a racist article.

Average daily temp in the Horn of Africa is about 120°F. There’s no AC. You get acclimatized after a couple weeks.

In the winter it goes down to 90°F. The locals put on their fleece jackets and complain of the cold.

Yeah, and “structural racism” kept me from getting drafted into the NBA.

Black people can’t afford to go and buy a window air conditioner?

Ginger, the weather chick on GMA in the morning, said when predicting heat in the NorthEast, “Those who are privileged to have Air Conditioning”.

and that black people are twice as likely to die from heat stroke as white people in the Big Apple.

You mean the "African" in African-American won't protect them from the heat their genes evolved to tolerate?

Yes but they’re out in the plains with no protection other than mud huts. Heat is heat.

Yes, but the Africans aren't 400 pound ghettopotamuses.

I’ve heard that Con-Ed pays crews to NOT do any construction digging in NYC during hot weather. Heaven forbid they should accidentally knock out power (i.e., A/C) - the ferals would go hog wild.

Cold is a lot deadlier than heat. This must be news to the credentialed elites that run NYC.

Didn’t anyone anticipate heat waves would seek out black people like the Covid virus sneaked and lurked around and infected black people more than other races as they told us?

“..Yes, but the Africans aren’t 400 pound ghettopotamuses....”

Well, we should give em their reparations, and that’d be exactly what was originally taken from em: a spear, a loin cloth and a slow one-way boat trip back to the motherland....never to return. They wouldn’t be ghettoptoamuses for long. With those big booties shaking and shining in the hot african sun, the rival tribes would have one heckuva time.

But leafier areas mean lawns and single-family dwellings. Something leftists have been trying to rid us of for decades.

Please define “structural racism” before getting into how heat waves are racist.

And with all due respect, recognizing that most blacks trace their ancestry to Africa, one has to wonder how their ancestors managed in that warmer than NYC climate.
