In a NY Times article posted July 5, 2020, they provided a break-down of the racial disparity in the disproportionate mortality rates of COVID-19 on the US population:
www.nytimes.com/…
Seeing that Latinos are 14% of the population and AAs represent ~13%, the disproportionate mortality rates of these two racial minorities are due directly to the abject neglect and refusal to act to reduce or reverse these impact can best be described as a genocidal act.
In response to a very powerful thread by Mark Sumner, I posted this response and upon further reflection, I figured it is worth its own thread.
The question I will ask is why are Dems and the media not daily pounding the airwaves calling the COVID-19 deaths an act of GENOCIDE against American citizens. In 2020, we don’t need a physical gulag or concentration camp to torture and kill people, Donald Trump is doing it with a pandemic in broad daylight.
Doesn’t change the fact it is still genocide- deliberate lack of plan at the Federal level to combat a pandemic and instead pile on additional stress and strain on all citizens with threats to withhold funds needed to combat the pandemic.
I mean it is as plain as daylight.
So why isn’t this a daily message been screamed from the rooftops everywhere… on social media, TV shows, print media, political ads, etc.
This will be the end of Trump and the GOP for good..
Donald Trump (aided and abetted by the Republican Party) has engineered and overseen a deliberate act of GENOCIDE on racial minorities in America by his deliberate inaction, unwillingness to do the right thing, and willful disregard for human lives of POCs. His full-on racial animus is non-debatable today, and constitutes the premise and causative act that has led to this genocidal act.
We are now at 3,000,000+ reported COVID-19 infections, 131,000+ dead, infection rates at levels far higher than even in the worst periods of the pandemic, and projection of additional 100 to 150,000 dead Americans by August. This is unacceptable. This should NOT be acceptable in America.
Why are we not shouting GENOCIDE from the rooftops??? Why are we not asking our elected Reps to state this on the record by walking the media through all the ways by which the act of genocide has been committed on racial minorities/POCs in America. Deliberately, Willfully, and Perversely.
Why is this GENOCIDAL act not front and center of the COVID-19 pandemic discussion????
