DETROIT (AP) — Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden is joining a growing call for the release of comprehensive racial data on the coronavirus pandemic, which he says has put a spotlight on inequity and the impact of “structural racism.”

Biden’s Medium poston Thursday said he is joining Democratic congressional members Ayanna Pressley, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren and others who have also called for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other agencies to release more data. Biden said he wants data released on income, too, to better help allocate resources to communities in need.

Biden acknowledged this is an “anxious, difficult time” for all Americans, but he noted the disparate impact on black Americans and Latinos, saying the virus can “hit anyone, anywhere,” but it doesn’t affect every “community equally.”

The former vice president also noted a climbing number of infections and deaths among “Navajo Nation and fears about the disproportionate impact the virus could have on Indian Country.”

If you don’t want to social distance, wash your hands, wear a mask, etc, then you have no one to blame but yourself if you get sick.

They want you divided.
Divided by religion.
Divided by sex.
Divided by political affiliation.
Divided by class.
When you are divided, and angry, and controlled, you target those ‘different’ from you, not those responsible [controllers].
Divided you are weak.
Divided you pose no threat to their control.

If the Democrats truly want to help Blacks, why are they trying to prevent an immediate cure, opting instead for months of clinical trials?

The key factor here may not be color of skin but obesity. Let’s see how much the victims weighed.

so who is going to stop and release and spend the time to collect that data?

Here us a novel idea.

Suspend HIPPA.

Post the names and addresses of dveryone with the disease.

Let the computer furus post the contaminated hotspot maos.

Shoot, get their phones and post their movement maps.

Find where the ‘virus previously called SARS-CoV-19’ is.

Except that he pronounced it "Injun Country."

Agree

Look at obesity, HTN, diabetes, etc., and compare these numbers and race.

But it wouldn’t matter to the left. Trump has cut off their new votes coming in through the southern border and so they need to gin up their victim class.

Here we go again.

The reason minorities see more infections and death by Covid is because, as with other minorities in America's history - including the Irish, the Italians and the Chinese - they start out as minorities living in low income, more densely populated communities who have yet to work their way up to better conditions by the fruit of labor.

However, like as the devil (the originator of the "occupy movement" and "share the wealth demand: Is. 14:12-14) implicitly appealed to Eve as the advocate of her against injustice, inferring that God was unjust and malicious by not sharing the wealth, that of power to be as God, and by punishing disobedience - but which disobedience out of lust for power etc. resulted in loss - (Gn. 3) so liberals and classic Communists seek to present themselves as saviors of the oppressed, oppressed by those who have obtained blessings procured by obedience to the principles of acquiring such.

But as with the devil, they selfishly seek power by this ploy, not sacrificing themselves for the truly oppressed while fostering the creation of a class of people who willingly subscribe to the deception that they are victims who have a right to what others merited by perseverance. Which thus eliminates the concepts of mercy and grace from the latter class, being replaced instead with the demand for justice, that of divesting the providers of wealth and giving it to those who want a shortcut to it.

But which ends up impoverishing all (solving income disparity) except for the self-proclaimed saviors, who alone end up possessing what they promised (including employment now), with the rest increasingly dependent on them for sustenance (which liberals plan to use Covid to foster), and giving them the praise and obeisance that the the devil lusts thru his proxy servants.

What "professor" Biden etc. make merchandise of is the reality that that every minority begins on the lower class, meaning living in cities, which are far more conducive to the spreading of diseases than the suburbs, but which liberals - which typically live in suburbs and or wealth - deem to be racist.

And which "racism" they propose to solve by giving them tax payer money in fostering a victim-entitlement mentality culture which souls either outright demand - as a matter of justice - what others have merited but they have not, or which they expect as a matter of justice, or favoritism in hiring and advancement due to their racial class. Which favoritism, paradoxically, is actually racist.

What the Left overall does not do is simply combat discrimination against minorities and ethnicity etc. so that the most qualified gets equal opportunities and the benefits of obedience to the Biblical principles of obtaining benefits. As well as fostering the showing of mercy - as mercy - to the disobedient yet penitent souls, and grace - as benevolence - from private sources, as well as a certain degree of communal sharing as such.

But when you realize what the devil selfishly lusted after in seeking to "climb up some other way" (Jn.10:1) to the place of God who gives and gives to rebellious man mercy and grace but only rewards the (God-enabled and motivated) obedience of faith in the risen Lord Jesus, and that the devil (as the god of this world)is the one behind the ethos of the Left, then you realize where what train is headed to. Do not get on it or work for it.
