Ya'll seem to be intentionally misrepresenting what this dude was saying. Let's both agree he probably could have said things better. He tried to relate on a casual level and apparently that pissed people off. It seems like something stupid to get mad at IMO, but whatever. Ya'll feel how ya'll feel.
Let's get to the substance of the discussion, which is really what ya'll seem to be misrepresenting and which is dangerous because he is actually giving information that people need to heed. First, he didn't just randomly single blacks and hispanics out. He was specifically addressing the fact that blacks and hispanics are dying at almost twice the rate as whites. Niggas have been complaining about the fact that the government has been ignoring that, and now when they address it, you're complaining about them singling blacks out? That doesn't make sense.
Anyway, he said blacks and latinos need to "step it up" with social distancing, staying at home when possible, and refraining from smoking and alcohol. Those are NOT things he has said apply only to blacks and latinos. Those are what they've been telling everyone to do from the start. He's only making this special statement to blacks and latinos because we seem to be at higher risk, so of course it is even more important for us to take proper precautions.
Lastly, he didn't ignore the societal problems. He said more than once that those contribute. For example, he pointed out that blacks are less likely to have jobs that allow teleworking so they are constantly put in more danger. Like I said. Ya'll feel how ya'll. My problem is that some are using this bullshit to dismiss what he said, and that's dangerous because maybe you should slow down on the smoking if that could help your chances of survival if you get the virus.
