When they compare conservative vs liberal narratives, the 2nd seems less racist to the first...but it’s not:
“African Americans have been dying from COVID-19 at three times the rate of their white counterparts.
Republican Ohio state Sen. Steve Huffman, a physician, asked if the “colored population” was more susceptible to the coronavirus due to a lack of hand-washing, lack of social distancing or a lack of wearing masks.
He was later fired from his emergency room job over the remarks.
Liberal:
The answer is that African Americans are “more susceptible” to COVID-19 due to a systemic lack of access to Health care,
lack of testing and being disproportionately representative in jobs that do not allow the luxury of working from home.“
Our media: “When they say ‘due to a systemic lack of healthcare’, that’s white-speak for
‘Doctors, nurses and admin turned us away 3 and 4 times to further infect all of our family and neighbors’.
When I see a title with melanin and the lab coat, I hold out hope for an honest appraisal of the truth we ALL had been initially reading about;
instead, we get more soft-serve truths (which is really no truth at all) because their media will NEVER approve of what we’ve seen with our own lying eyes
if it makes white folk look bad. Eric Gardener is an extreme case of that when we ALL saw the chokehold and the white cop murderer killing him on our screens,
yet they continued to push complications due to his obesity! What’s sad is that we continue to fall for that same okey doke.
It’s like there’s some sort of spell preventing folk from seeing the obvious. Either we break the spell or the spell breaks us.
Can’t wait ‘til we have our own media. Everything changes.
