Claims COVID-19 discriminates against minorities.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has called for coronavirus “reparations” for black and brown people, claiming that “environmental racism” is an “underlying health condition.”
Yes, really.
“COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities,” tweeted the Democrat lawmaker. “Why? Because the chronic toll of redlining, environmental racism, wealth gap, etc. ARE underlying health conditions. Inequality is a comorbidity. COVID relief should be drafted with a lens of reparations.”
https://twitter.com/AOC/status/1246091210449719296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1246091210449719296&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsummit.news%2F2020%2F04%2F03%2Faoc-calls-for-coronavirus-reparations-for-black-people%2F
AOC provided no source to substantiate the claim that COVID-19 deaths were spiking in black or brown communities (coronavirus deaths would naturally be higher in any densely populated area), nor did she explain how the environment can be racist.
One of her supporters responded to the tweet by suggesting there was some kind of conspiracy amongst store owners in black areas not to enforce social distancing properly.

However, another respondent suggested that black and brown people were deliberately flouting social distancing rules and putting themselves at greater risk.

I knew this was coming. After this horse$hit is over, the demands will start and never end. It all boils down to one thing: take money from Whitey and give it to non-Whitey.

I assume she’s demanding that the Chinese pay for the reparations. To be consistent, Chinese Americans should also pay because they inherit the shame of their ancestors.

I would love to sarcastically thank New York for AOC. But my representative is Illhan Omar. So I need to shut my pie-hole.

COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities, Id like to see the data supporting that. If it is, it may be because that population may have chosen to live in a cramped city space with very high density. And then theres the question of how well people are choosing to practice social distancing, to the extent they can.

Because the chronic toll of redlining, environmental racism, wealth gap, etc. ARE underlying health conditions. Inequality is a comorbidity. COVID relief should be drafted with a lens of reparations.
All of which are conditions created by democrat party policies, which seek to keep minorities poor and dependent on government.
Which means that, it's the democratic party that should be making reparations to blacks and hispanics and the poor.

This woman is so friggin’ crazy. Is there ANY hope that those who follow her will see this?
To: Enlightened1
Keep it up, Sandy. If we were ever worried that a Trump-skeptical Republicans will be less motivated to vote against Biden than they were against Hillary, Ocasio is the solution.
To: Enlightened1
She opens her mouth and stupidity falls out.

I assume shes demanding that the Chinese pay for the reparations. Cant do that, that would be racist. How AOC gets away with it is a mystery.
