"Dr Allison Arwady told reporters that black city residents already lived on average about 8.8 years less than their white counterparts."

White liberals need to die younger in the name of equality?

Well, now they can impeach Trump for being a racist.

Or something.

Maybe those neighborhoods aren’t practicing “social distancing”, ya’ll....

Stop shooting each other, and the lifespans would naturally increase.

Why does everything have to be about race?
This disease affects every race and ethnic group.

Check out this video of an African American Neighborhood. Then how can anyone wonder what the problem is. Stupid gets its own reward.

I think more free stuff should alleviate this racist disparity.

Now we see a developing narrative, that minorities are hit hardest by this virus.

And I’m sure they will weave in a thread to the story, that somehow Trump is to blame, for higher minority cases of this virus.

Didn’t I read more men than women die of the C-virus?

I suppose the womyn groups can’t call Trump sexist because of this matter. Now they reach into their bag of tricks and say men are weaker than females.

What about the BLT community? Any articles there?

Guess what? There is an article about Latinos, too.

That’s the big four.

Black people are more likely to suffer from diabetes. They are also more likely to live in dense urban neighborhoods and take public transportation.

The above comment was censored on mainstream social media, by the way, in spite of it being a simple statement of facts supported by a MSM article that I linked to. Minorities are always hardest hit. Just don’t ever speculate why that might be.

I have not seen any published information giving the race of the victims of coronavirus. The most that I’ve seen is age and sex. How do these people know. Isn’t a violation of HIPPA?
