The Ebola crisis has gripped the American media, and by extension the imagination of the public, punctuated by breathless pronouncements from TV news reporters of the medical status of actual and potential victims of the disease; hysteria-inducing magazine covers, like this issue of Bloomberg Businessweek sporting the message Ebola Is Coming in blood- smeared letters; and Facebook feeds dominated by click-bait images of microscopic photos of the virus with eerie back-lit tangles of fat worms symbolizing the foreign bodies that could invade us all.
But the foreign bodies of the Liberian man, Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person to have developed the disease while on U.S. soil, and those of West Africans represent the common targets of an age-old American disease: xenophobia.
Duncans family, stricken with grief over his death, has already questioned the fact that the only person to die of Ebola on U.S. soil so far is a black man. They say Duncans death was the result of actions that could have been racially motivated given that he was not moved to the same hospital where other Ebola patients successfully received treatment. In fact, while other Ebola patients were seen as victims, Duncan was viewed by authorities as a malicious carrier of the deadly disease. Even as he battled for his life, a county prosecutor publicly considered filing criminal charges against him....

They almost always look like what I expect.
Lunatic eyes.
The real problem is Africans having sex with monkeys.
African countries are sealing their borders off to liberia guinea, and sierra leone. I guess they must be even more racist than us evil whiteys.
why doesn’t she just join ISIS with the rest of her liberal friends?
What we need to do is send these Liberians to MSNBC and let them cough and sneeze on these morons..time to clean out the gene pool over there
I do not see any true connection between the three, but okay.
Another liberal psychopath all too happy to gamble with other people’s lives if it helps maintain the utopian delusion.
LOL...
I actually read something to that effect on a virolgy web site. The person stated it was common in africa to have sex with animals. Sick sick sick!
“Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person to have developed the disease while on U.S. soil...”
HUH? He brought it here! He didn’t get it once he SNUCK IN!
And, it took them long enough to blame Capitalism, LOL!
She hates capitalism, but she apparently loves shopping at the mall, going to salons, and getting a paycheck to be on MSNBC....which has advertisers.
Apparently that one-way trip to an actual communist nation just isnt on her schedule.
Hey, if it’s racist to want diseased people kept away from you, then I guess I’m a racist. Only problem is I don’t care what color the disease is wearing. The problem in Africa is the same as lot’s of other third world countries, a corrupt government and leader the steal the aid and produce of the country to live like a friggin emperor.
She’s an NPR host. Gee, what a shock.
The single most selfish thing was committed by Duncan.
He knowingly brought the virus, he was the agent that allowed it to jump continents and change this world forever.
He should have been executed the minute they found out what did.
Yep, Ebola is racist. The question is, how does it know which patients are black and which are white? Well, that doesn't matter, we need to work on making Ebola culturally aware.
“Duncan was viewed by authorities as a malicious carrier of the deadly disease.”
He WAS the guy that introduced Ebola to a country with over 300 million people.
Wouldn’t a white guy that infected Zimbabwe be disliked by those citizens?
Shut up,lady.
.
From what I’ve seen of Ferguson, Detroit, LA, West Africa, and the middle east, I’m starting to see racism as a survival instinct. Suppress it and your civilization is doomed.
President of Liberia apologizes to Dallas mayor for Ebola landing in the U.S.

... or empty buckets in Liberia?
People have their customs and traditions and you can’t change them.
A woman I once worked with and her husband went to one of those West Africa countries to minister to these people and teach them better ways of doing things to improve their lives. They could try to teach, for example, the practice of safe sex and monogamy to minimize sexually transmitted disease and the people would listen politely, but in the end they would continue in their ways because their practices are “traditions” and they have lived this way for centuries.
