Ok.
I posted this a few pages ago...but y’all don’t wanna acknowledge that there’s different levels of harm
Sorry Race said equally and I conflated the responses
Now that I've confirmed I got yall deep within your feelings imma go start on lunch. Take care.
im chillin boo
eat well
harm is harm rubato
im sorry. Black ppl dying by corona at alarming rates is something nobody should be surprised by, unless you were believing that article that lovely dos posted about corona not surviving in african blood :/
a lot of times what makes us healthy happens outside of a drs office. our environments, communities/homes and accessibility to resources/education keeps us healthy but because of systematic inequalities, we suffer.
so many Black ppl are dying in these democratic ran cities, by coronavirus and staunched progress.
If black people don't vote, what incentive is their for any politician to make policy that caters to them?
So you’re saying the same number of our people die from the virus with a Dem in the White House? Or you’re saying the difference isn’t significant to you?
Cause it sounds like you’re arguing one of the two.
im saying the numbers would be about same because of systematic issues that already exist in our society.
the virus is the crisis
capitalism,enviormental racism, homelessness, etc is the pandemic and has been for quite some time
Black people came out in droves to make a 2 term President out of Barack and thought he would make a generation changing agenda specifically for the Black Community and that did not happen.
Black voter turnout fell in 2016, even as a record number of Americans cast ballots
Some trends in presidential elections either reversed or stalled: White turnout increased and the nonwhite share of the U.S. electorate remained flat from 2012.www.pewresearch.org
The black voter turnout rate declined for the first time in 20 years in a presidential election, falling to 59.6% in 2016 after reaching a record-high 66.6% in 2012.
The 7-percentage-point decline from the previous presidential election is the largest on record for blacks. (It’s also the largest percentage-point decline among any racial or ethnic group since white voter turnout dropped from 70.2% in 1992 to 60.7% in 1996.)
First, I dont agree with her. Second, I been against the 2 party system before I was old enough to vote. And third, I been a socialiast before 2016. Im talking che shirts in high school(yea its oxymoronic), and protesting in NYC, getting cops visiting my house way before bernie.
I say all that cause I dont want a 10 page debate.
All i want to say is even though I dont agree with her, I do understand the disappointment of not having people who voted you into office continue voting so you can get all the policies you want passed. If I got voted in due to a particular group of people and then they dont vote in senate and congress elections, i would also feel like cmon fam, i need yall to vote so these republicans stop obstrucring me.
And again, I say that as a mfer who never bought the obama hype (didnt by the bernie hype either btw).
Just going off human nature.

I see where you’re going
It obviously still impacts us disproportionately under a different administration, but the overall count (including us) would be way down if you ONLY remove the willful malfeasance aspect of the response.
