Liberal logic told us that closing down the country was racist because it only put black people out of work and they could no longer provide for their families. Liberal science told us that the coronavirus was racist because it was somehow targeting black people for infection and death. Now, liberal hysteria tells us that opening the country back up is racist because it will expose black people to COVID-19 and kill them. Missing from all these liberal schools of thought is any scenario involving the coronavirus that wouldn’t be a racist killer of black people.
Here’s a dumb thing from The Hill:
Openings may put black workers at disproportionate COVID-19 risk
African Americans have been hit disproportionately by COVID-19, a trend likely to continue or even rise as states begin to reopen for business.
Black Americans are more likely than their white counterparts to work in the service industries that have been shuttered for the past several weeks, and they are also more likely to suffer from some health conditions that make people vulnerable to the novel coronavirus.
Here’s a fun fact: White people make up 77% of the U.S. population while blacks only represent 12%. White people are more likely to work in every industry except professional basketball and street-level drug distribution. This premise is a lie.
Jocelyn Frye, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, likes the lie however because it reinforces the bullshit she believes:
“The reality is people who will continue to get COVID are low-wage workers, people of color, who feel they must go back to work and don’t have the flexibility to stay at home,” Frye said.
Frye’s liberal reality also says it’s pretty damn racist to reopen this country and let people get back earning a living.
“It exacerbates a problem we’re still trying to figure out. It’s irresponsible, and it suggests a lack of meaningful concern about the disproportionate impacts of reopening when those rates are rising and not falling,” said Frye.
…openings are likely to increase the spread of the disease as people come into more contact with one another.
Experts fear black communities will again be hit disproportionately.
Greg Millett, the director of an AIDS research foundation, agrees that opening the country back up will be super-racist:
“There’s something here about being a part of a marginalized population and the opportunities that you have in a society, in terms of jobs, in terms of income, in terms of access to health insurance, that’s playing out in a large way with this COVID-19 crisis and really magnifying these issues for African Americans, as well as other communities of color,” said Millet.
Closing the country down was racist because it inexplicably only affected black people. Opening the country back up is racist because it will inexplicably only affect black people. When liberals say everything is racist, they ain’t kidding.
The good news here is that liberals are also completely full fo shit and none of this is true. The only thing ending the coronavirus lockdown will do is breathe life back into our economy and let everyone, including black people, get back to work so they can put food on the table.
