Connecticut, COVID, and Systemic Racism

Talk is cheap. Even Gov. Lamont’s excessive, and by definition nonmeritorious, success in hiring lots of women and minorities could be seen as a smokescreen for this suspected system. When it comes to race, one can never be progressive enough. Even a solidly Democrat base constituency, a union, noted: as “protests rage across the state and country... Lamont continues to support policies that oppress American minorities in the workplace.” And not just in the workplace -- in matters of life and death also, like COVID. No matter the area of society, the system is at work hurting minorities in some mysterious way -- despite all institutions being made up of actual human beings. Lamont claims to allocate vaccines “proportionately” to all populations. But how does one know? Are we being fooled?

In CT, the Lamont response to criticism has been to implement a target meant to help close the vaccination gap between whites and residents of color. But the disparities have grown. What accounts for this? In today’s media -- and to some extent in the public at large -- it’s an effect-cause easy answer: disparity equals racism, which accounts for the perception of Gov. Lamont’s failure here. It may appear like “progress,” but as Queen put it in "Bohemian Rhapsody," perhaps its “Bismillah...no!”

If Lamont was not a Democrat, the current media coverage, although not positive, would be decidedly less so – similar to how George W. Bush was portrayed after Hurricane Katrina when he was lambasted for carelessness caused by racism. It would probably not be quite as bad as that, since Katrina was such a catastrophe. But a non-Democrat Lamont would be eyed suspiciously, and likely condemned by many, of racism.

The vaccine propaganda is 24-7 in CT—you can’t turn on a radio or a TV without getting blasted with it.

At this point it is just background noise, sort of like the buzzing of bees in the summertime.

It is our civic duty to improve the stock price of big pharma firms, ya know...

I encounter a lot of black people on my ambulance transports in New Haven. Many don’t trust the vaccine. My hunch this is true across the country. It’s not my job to fix that, or debate the issue. But somehow, as white male, its my going to end up being my fault.

It is known and has been known that certain minorities are in lousy health. Documented. Written about at length. There is no doubt.

In spite of that fact, they, as can be expected, blame their failures on Whitey’s society, and Whitey can say nothing in his defense.

Lament is a liberal. He gives favors disproportionally to minorities. By criticizing him, they know he will react and give them additional special, undeserved favors.

There is zero chance that all politicians will hold privileged minorities to the same standards as the scorned, reviled and hated Whites, but it is the only way that this country can get back to normal.
