Throughout the country, we are seeing that communities are going through the same thing we pass here in New York, people are checking positively for the Corona virus disease (or Coid 19), and then schemeable for hospital beds, ventilators, personal safety equipment. The hospital staff tolerates the experience of watching patients’ health rapidly, the loved ones have to provide painful messages, explaining why they cannot live on their loved ones.
I’ve been here I know the trauma. It hurts at a deep and constant level. Someone else has difficulty watching his experience, and knows that you can’t eliminate this pain for them.
I initially knew that the virus would be a nightmare for the black America. The moment it has been reported that the virus affects the compromise immune systems (also known as “immunocomized”), it was clear: this virus will be hell on the wheels in our cities.
And, so it was.

According to the latest data, the communities are most affected by the worst, well, this is exactly what many of us thought. And these are just the rates of hospitalization. These are just so harsh cases that guarantee ER travel. We have Not It is believed that how many people are in confidentiality of their homes.
Throughout the United States, this number is roaming the stomach. In numerous reports released in late April and early May, we saw the whole cities Where 60, 70, 80 % of those who were in the hospital were black and brown.
And then, the story was compiled: definitely, the disease may be fatal and dangerous, but it is just Really Killing black people, so… it’s technically Their The problem, not OursSo We Can you go back to normal, okay?
What is worse is that the death rate is directly linked than our sky 19-which is like a dog whistle, as “welfare queen”-our cleaning. In hearing about the disease and its various results, Ohio State Senator Steve Huffman, who is also an emergency room doctor, asked:
“When I understand African Americans, my point is in more cases of chronic conditions, and it makes them more sensitive to death from Coid,” Huffman said at a public hearing.
“But why isn’t it more sensitive to just making fun of them? Can it be that the African American or colorful population should not wash their hands and not wash other groups or wear masks or keep distance from themselves socially? It can be explained this high events?” [source]
We are dirty and unhealthy, and our deaths do not need anything that is worried about society itself because it is not a social problem. This is a matter of failing us. Personal responsibility To be… it is quite clean.
From here, the detection of drains began.
Not The effort is intended to slow down or prevent the spread of the virus. It was painted as “not so dangerous” and “unable to destroy the economy”, even when black people were lying in hospital beds, depending on ventilators for ventilators. There was no legitimate lockdown to save lives, while we saw that healthcare experts urge us to stay home to protect essential workers from unnecessary exposure, workers who were primarily black and brown. At that time, the majority of the affected lives were black and brown.
Not even able to wear a mask. Many states are refusing to implement the need for a mask on its residents – permanent. Because it is not politically beneficial to tell people something that can save the lives of their families, friends and neighbors. It is one thing they do not want to do: sacrifice to save another human life, especially if this life is black.
What we are witnessing is a culture of apathy, which does not understand the public health crisis, because it is probably. Only affects black and brown people. Share on x
That’s why we are looking at multiple states [not named New York] Experience that none of us have ever seen in our lives: a plague that steals the lives of loved ones and, because they are immediately imprisoned, so you don’t even get a chance to say goodbye.
What we are witnessing is a culture of apathy, which does not understand the public health crisis, because it is probably. Only affects black and brown people. “Their Life is not My It is okay not to care about their lives, their communities, their families. He is Their The responsibility is okay to break the social contract when it comes to They People This does not affect me. That –TheyIt doesn’t matter. “
To me, this is a raisy – ah, no objection.
The magic of this apathy was broken only when it was clear that small, white, more fit people were also suffering from the virus. And, so far, it looks like it may be too late.
The refusal to do the basic work can save the lives of black and brown people who dominate the necessary positions of work, bringing a message a message. You cannot claim that “all life is important” in the same breath, and in the next life you refuse to protect these lives. Either you believe that black life is a matter, and they are worthy of collective sacrifice, or you do not.
