It’s unfair to expect everyone to accept lockdown and follow rules and stuff.

Its Racist to be anti-lockdown. That’s the next shift

Lowndes County/Population

Might explain why they don’t have any ICU beds there.

NBC sees a racism boogyman under every rock and behind every tree and blasts it through their megaphone. The only ones who believe their nonsense are gullible blacks.

Maybe Black Lives Matter communists will come down and build a textile plant and pay the folks high wages to make clothes in the USA. Maybe Nike could pay Americans to make outrageously priced shoes right here in Alabama. What a novel idea.

Neglected? Perhaps they can try doing for themselves on a community scale

“”When you look at our communities that are predominantly African American, with the lack of access to health care, pre-existing conditions”

So did Odunga Care let these folks down? That will be the last rock that these communities will look under for an excuss.

Coronavirus, like basketball and rap music, is an invention of the Man, to keep the black man down.

Sounds like they’d all qualify for Medicaid or full subsidy zero monthly payment Obamacare, both of which cover pre-existing conditions and are “free.” So, why are they lacking healthcare then?

What is the exact mechanism that causes their oppression? Do they not know about COVID-19? Have they not heard about social distancing? Do they have no masks? If they could identify a concrete problem, then we could fix it. But the don’t. They don’t want the problem fixed. They just want you to feel guilty. This kind of rhetoric is not news. It is emotional manipulation.

No doctors or hospitals. No industry. No nothing.

And no entrepreneurs.

Lots of welfare though.

Ran some numbers for Lowndes Co. Al and Rockland Co NY (an upper middle class suburb of NY City

Cases/1000 Lowndes 40 Rockland 43 NY State 21
Deaths/1000 1.5 2.1 1.5

County is above average, but not an outlier.

Why isn’t BLM - with all its millions extorted from businesses - in there helping their fellow blacks?

Nailed it, it's all about extorting money and guilty Whites and corporations are tripping over each other to pay for redemption, which will never come.

You can also be sure the newly acquired BLM wealth is going into the hands of a very very few and the masses will never see a penny of it.

Just like the money Soros’s organizations set aside to bail out protesters from jail has disappeared into a few hands - millions upon millions.

No different from African warlords and dictators who take all aide money from the West and disappear it while their people starve to death.
