US BEING TURNED AWAY FROM HOSPITALS AGAIN AND AGAIN IS WHAT’S CAUSING THE RAPID SPREAD IN OUR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES




US BEING TURNED AWAY FROM HOSPITALS AGAIN AND AGAIN IS WHAT’S CAUSING THE RAPID SPREAD IN OUR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES


I listened to all the 18min and 50sec of this looking for the one main factor that we keep hearing about but NEVER speaking on;

we hear that now we’re the most impacted even though we started out small. We hear about our lack of social distancing and our vulnerability due to underlying health concerns. And we speak on these things.

What we consistently hear about but don’t speak on is that those of us dying did visit the hospital 2 or even 3 times and multiple times are turned away without even being tested!

Hence it spreading to multiple family members and throughout our communities.

It’s commonsense. Let me Blacksplain:

If only 1% of us start out being infected while 99% of them are, then the ONLY

variable that could account for us being the most impacted in disproportionate  numbers in such a short time is if we’re turned away in disproportionate numbers!

We see others with the same health concerns (maybe not as bad as ours, granted, but they’re still there).

We see others not practicing social distancing so that’s clearly not it.

We are most impacted since many of us are working in a non stay-at-home capacity, but none of these are enough to account for 70% of the deaths!

Again, if just one of us is infected and 99 of them are, but they get hospital treatment and isolation and that 1 is sent back home to infect his or her family and community,

then whether they die or not, they’re passing it on to family members and neighbors on their trips home, even though they’re doing ALL THE RIGHT THINGS!

We see this in our newsfeeds how multiple family members die from exposure as our folk keep getting sent back home!

We see it, yet because no one speaks on it, we don’t either!

The biggest factor is they’re turning us away.

The biggest factor is they’re turning us away.

The biggest factor is they’re turning us away.

It’s like I’m talking to myself here...

When white folk dump, we can’t get Angry about it

I got angry over a white (almost white) person saying that I’m overreacting. Immediately afterwards, I berated myself, thinking that I should’ve held my cool. But just as we laud those black heroes who articulate the pain rather than express it, we condemn ourselves for feeling what is normal to feel.  Part of colonization says that I have no right to be angry and that my anger is naturally perceived as a threat so it’s in my best interest to hold my tongue. This is not normal. We must break the economic, physical, emotional and spiritual consequences to be true human beings. Otherwise we’re just lying to ourselves. “How dare they get angry over our oppression of them!”

Rigged Legal System

Search words: Rigged Legal System, Gauntlet of oppression, racial profiling throughout  Years ago on jury duty, I was asked to render a ‘fair and impartial’ judgement regarding a young Black man accused of possession on the Upper East Side. There were only two Black people on the jury, myself and another dude. After a very long time, we ended up finding the defendant guilty. That’s the end of the story but not the narrative. The twelve main things I came to realize: 1. Several Black potential jurors were citing a mantra about their unwillingness to participate in a prejudiced judicial system. It was my first time hearing it but should I be called again, I’ll google it and voice my objection in the same way. 2. The suspect was stopped for a broken taillight, but as his wife said when she examined their car at the station, the light was never broken. 3. The white judge, however, ruled that the bust was still legit even though he was clearly stopped for drivin...

ON REPARATIONS

Never banter with white folk about reparations. It’s like arguing with your boss about wages they haven’t paid you. The only acceptable answer, whether they can give it or not, is “Yeah… You right!” Anything less from them is pure toxicity.
